Staying in step with our British month of January, we wanted to acknowledge some stellar work produced by our friends in the UK, starting with Blink Productions.

In case you were looking for a red flag that this is from the UK, and even if you’d want to ignore the cars driving on opposing sides, the navigation with British accent, and the slight turns in language, you’ve got British comedic icon John Cleese leading the show.

Promoting Specsavers, the spot recalls an old BBC favorite, Fawlty Towers, which premiered in 1975 and starred John Cleese in the start of his career. The concept was developed in-house at Specsavers with Mr. Cleese himself, and the adept production team at Blink took it on from there, with director Tim Bullock leading the show.

Watch the spot above! If you enjoy that fantastic British spirit, you might want to check out our work with Blink here.
