BT - Adam Goes to Cornwall
28 July 2008 by SilkyIt’s been quite a ride for Adam and Jane - or to give them their proper names “that bloke off of My Family” and “the MILF” - during their run in the BT broadband electro wireless hub cine projector thingy adverts.
We’ve followed them through cost-a-fortunum gags, via dodgy haircuts and possibly the worst house party ever.
Through Adam leering over Jane’s friends and Jane sneering at Adam’s desperate attempts to get his wicked way.
But now it seems like it’s all over. He’s gone to Cornwall for his dream job, she’s stuck back home with the brats.
So is this the end of BT’s gold(Blend)en couple or will they find a way to work things out?
Who cares.

I suspect he’s down in Cornwall shagging some girl and in a few weeks he’ll come back with her boyfriend to spit roast Jane. All the signs are there if you know where to look…

Err whats going on Silky? Where’s the embedded video? Why can’t we watch this piece of advertising brilliance? I can’t wait to see it!

Actually I just saw the “Judge for yourself” bit. That one wasn’t very good - those adverts still suck.

I like this series with Adam and Jane (or that bloke off My Family and that lady from Spooks) but I don’t like this one. Adam’s gone off to his dream job and they are talking about it over a dodgy internet connection.
This is wrong.
The time for talking is way past. They should have had this conversation before he left and not over IM for god’s sake. If they talked before and he still left then they are doomed. DOOMED. I’m sorry but sometimes I have to be serious. This could be the end of a beautiful relationship we are witnessing and I for one am very upset.

I understand the benefits of MSN and its ilk; however for such a crisis why not use a mobile phone or even a pay phone instead of a dodgy internet connection.
In fact, who on earth over the age of 13 actually has a serious relationship discussion over instant messaging?

To be honest I don’t know why ‘Adam’ bothers with her, not bad looking she may be but I’ve yet to see her smile in any of these adverts, miserable bint, anyway they’re all a load of middle-class wank and come the revolution they’ll all be up against the wall. The day will come, the people will rise up and shake off the shackles of capitalist consumerism and after an initial bloodbath a utopian egalitarian paradise will come into being with me at its head of course. ‘Vive le revolution’.

Hey Che. Will the people “shake off the shackles of capitalist consumerism” before or after they’ve got their Sky+ boxes and iPhones?

If we wait until after we get out iPhones it will be easier to communicate details of the revolution to the group.
But I think Sky+ goes in the category of “Would be nice” rather than “Must have”.

I’m not free Wednesday or Thursday; can we revolt on Friday though? Gets the weekend off to a flying start. I would happily disembowel “Adam”, as he has the worst hair. Ever.
Even worse than James May. And that’s pretty appalling.

Maybe they are going to wrap up this series of ads, the actors won’t want to just be thought of as “him/her out of the BT ads”. Personally these have generally made me smile, haven’t induced me to buy BT products though. As regards the Revolution, please let me know date and time, I need to be elsewhere as I’m with the “Middle class wank” party.

I wonder if the series might finish with Jane dying from a Brain Tumor because of the increased radiation from her BT Homehub.
Typical stereotyping though - the black one must be bigger and better for women than a white one.

Sniffle sniffle, sniffle sniffle. I just loved this advert so much, especially that part where emm… they emm. Actually it sucks.
Such an odd advert

Well said Dave ! The whole series was rubbish;a bit of wish fulfilment fantasy for skint single mothers.

She’ll be shagging that polish plumber from 4 or 5 episodes back before you can say Januz Robinscowiz.

=O After all this time, I finally know where the bloody hell I recognise Jane!!!!!
She was one of the lesbians from Queer as Folk!
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSs
I’m finally free to think about just how shit the advert is whilst I watch them!

I hope they have a messy divorce, and there’s a huge row over who gets to keep the BT Home Hub.

Didn’t the Adam actor have an ‘accident’ down tha in the west country? Someone evidently had it in for him….he’s an ACTOR for heaven’s sake (said in a Brian Conley voice a la “it’s a puppet” catch phrase). Must admit however that BT are scraping the barrel with this ad tho.

shame that when that guy got run over he did not realize it was a message from God to give up his evil ways and refuse to do any more of this bullshit

She’s clearly only with him so he’ll look after her kids - have we ever seen her pay for anything herself? That’s why she’s upset at him leaving, now she’ll have to pay her own internet bill.

i think these adverts and funny but overly pointless at the same time

While he’s away in Cornwall, I’ll be reaming his MILF girlfriend.

Just a pedantic thought….We don’t know that she’s not in Cornwall too. He might only be just down the road.

There are no dream jobs in ‘cornwall’ as the english have shat on us for hundreds of years. Tell the pasty faced englishman to twat back off to his country.

Who gives a toss, all I know is that BT are extortionate in their broadband prices and I wish that Adam and his annoying girlfriend would get the fuck off my TV.

Oh no! Adam and Jane can’t break-up… it’s been thrilling watching their relationship over the past two years or so. This is the worst thing to happen since that annoying brother on Corrie died! Who are BT going to get to be their golden couple now?
Maybe “him off My Family” will move back in with his dad.

Adam is well rid of her. She personifies all the worst characteristics of modern woman in advert-land - smug, patronising, selfish, self-centred, vain, ignorant. I grind my teeth every time I hear her latest inanity. I grind my teeth more at the assuption that this is the kind of persona that we real women are supposed to identify with. (She also looked very stupid in that wedding hat a feww seasons ago!) Put me off BT broadband too!
