Hugh Laurie - advert for Kestrel lager - 1983

Please subscribe to my channel @billbobmatthews, which is home to many rarely seen comedy gems from the early to mid 1980s, when only early adopters had VCRs – as well as my own work as a writer and producer in TV and radio since that period. There are also riches from other decades too. The best way to navigate all the videos on the channel is via the Playlists... @billbobmatthews/playlists Back in the day (not now though, as we know from Sky Sports), if an actor, comedian or presenter was appearing in a programme currently being broadcast, they couldn’t also appear in an advert before, during or after the show. This didn’t seem to apply to Hugh Laurie, since I recorded this advert for Kestrel lager just before the showing of an episode of Hugh Laurie. It probably slipped through because few people at that time had any idea who Hugh Laurie was.
