Something’s missing from this advert.

Humour? Honesty? Hobbits?
No – it’s the Bucket of Water song.

Katanga ma friends.

## Does a lttle thing by the name of Othello mean anything to you cynics. ##

Isn’t that like draughts?

Just surfing about and came across this site and would like to add:

a) Premier Inn has to be one of the foremost examples of value for money in the leisure industry (and no I am not a shareholder or connected in any way, just a very satisfied and regular customer)

b) Lenny Henry’s career on a downer???? Erm, I don’t think so. Does a lttle thing by the name of Othello mean anything to you cynics.

Lighten up people…it’s just a TV ad!

I really didn’t get the advert and thought it was rather forgetable!

TRAVELODGE ALL THE WAY!!! But is he on such a downer in his carreer that when his manager got him a room in that shithole he didn’t rip up his own contract…poor poor Lenny! OMG they could have done a McCain -style ad with Joseph and the Technicoloured Dream Coat…”Things aren’t going well, hey, locked up in a cell”…perfect if I say so myself….

“Good afternoon sir?”

Daytime fun in a travel tavern? Surely not the kind of customer they want to show…

I wouldn’t want check in any earlier than need be in a place like that!

I read somewhere that for the bit where he’s lying on the bed that they had to use a specially designed super king-size bed because he’s so fat now that he made their normal beds look too small.

Andy I think it’s Nicholas Ball, he’s been in loads of stuff, last time playing a geriatric football hooligan in Eastenders.

Hey guys you are all too harsh.

However this advert is terrible, why do it Lenny. The money was huge I’m sure but why not insist on a little sign off on the script.

PS if you did sign off that sctript you are nuts! Get Dawn to proof read next time.

“Some bread for my ‘companion’?” Is there something Mr Henry isn’t telling us? I wonder precisely when the last time he stayed in a Travelodge was. The man’s entire career is based on doing an impression of his mum with a carribean accent, about as funny as cot death.

lol Trevor McDoughnut.

i’m suprised they didn’t have him dressed up as Theodore T.Wildebeest in these adverts.

very cringeworthy.

mind you, being married to Dawn French he probably does stay at these hotels to get some room in the bed.
