"Tea time is me time"

BMB has recruited the wonderful John Shuttleworth to front a campaign for Yorkshire Tea. Genius
In an 'augented reality' version (shown above and accessible here), webcam-equipped Yorkshire Tea drinkers can geet Shuttleworth (aka comedian Graham Fellows) to serenade them atop their own box of tea (after some careful positioning).
Those of a more traditional bent can watch the TV ads
And here's some outtakes
Agency: Beattie McGuinness Bungay

Grand!! John Shuttleworth is brilliant, I can't go back to savoury now. Makes me proud to come from Sheffield. Time for some me time tea time now I think.

At last Sheffield and Shuttleworth get the backing they deserve (can you tell I'm from Sheffield?)

Shame they didn't use 'One Cup of Tea Is Never Enough, But Two Is Far Too Many'

Excellent piece of advertising. It's about drinking tea. It features a Yorkshire folk hero. It's entertaining. It all adds up to how advertising should be done. Good work.

I really enjoyed the TV ad, and there are some great features on the website.
It looks as though they're trying to target a wider/younger market - I wonder how successful/relevant the "John on your box" will be to the majority of current drinkers - the site looks good but is fairly tricky to navigate...

As memorable as: "Can you ride t'tandem?". Destined for greatmess.
