Pizza hut meerkat ad

[patiodors]

Where have i seen the guy from the ad from before? My friend says its Derek Griffith but I think not! I've seen him in something recently - police drama perhaps?

[kazza12345]

yes he was in the bill as a regular character

[xrayspecs]

He played the neighbour in Gimme Gimme Gimme with Kathy Burke. It was a while ago though but he does pop up all over the place from time to time

[littleoldme]

The actor's name is Brian Bovell - as xrayspecs rightly says, he's probably best known for playing Jez in Gimme Gimme Gimme. He does look a little like children's TV legend Derek Griffiths in that ad, albeit a bit younger.

[patiodors]

thanks - these things drive u nuts sometimes!

"...children's TV legend Derek Griffiths..."

A legend indeed, littleoldme, but you have just made a happy brachiopod very old.

;o)

[littleoldme]

You and me both, brachy old sport, you and me both. :-)

he was also known as pincy along side, i dont know whether it was him who played the father in 2 point 4 children, gary olsen but i cant remember the series title. it was probably about 15-20 yrs ago.
