Re: An interesting 20 second advert video

You’re very fond of including the word ‘interesting’ in your posts and topic titles, aren’t you, William! Quite apart from its being a given that we find our own topics interesting, it would help to provide context to the thread if you were to say why a particular topic piqued your interest.

What two things surprised you in the linked clip, and what did you find nice about them?

Indeed.

I introduced it like that in the hope that readers would enjoy the surprise rather than me putting a spoiler comment before the viewing.

I thought it rather splendid how each of the two ladies were presented as looking like the lady featured in a famous painting, with a pastiche of the painting with the image of the lady removed, as if she had gone for a walkabout.

If one is quick and pauses the video at 4 seconds in, the text of part of her identity card is displayed on the screen.

There’s no need to be quick and there’s no need to pause anything! Simply visit the following URL:
