Thanks Renee, but I take no credit for this work - it's just one of those things one chances across on Youtube. Why it was created is something I'd love to know. I recognise one briefly appearing actor in it, but ohter than that it's a complete mystery.

It was made by the Discovery channel themselves in a beautiful piece of self directed irony - James Gilbey, who's name is on the credits, is the creative director of Discovery networks europe.He used to be an actor on Eastenders apparently, maybe the face you spotted in the video.

If you liked this, you'll love a short two part movie called 'The Reel Truth' (directed by Tim Hamilton as a sequel to 'Truth in Advertising', created for an awards show ... I think).
