Specsavers x Basil Fawlty
First on the list is a funny little number from Specsavers’ very own creative department. John Cleese helped the team with script writing for Basil’s vision impared melt down. You can watch John’s interview about the adverts finer details, like finding a branch with a high funny factor. Nice creative from an in-house team, we look forward to more of this in 2016.

After the death of the most iconic performer in a lifetime, how could we not include our favourite Bowie ad. This spot by Ogilvy Paris is a fantastic showcase of Bowie’s many personas, it’s pretty clear to see the allure he has for any brand, even if it is just water.
