Ad of the Day: Gordon's Gin - Philip Glenister

Each day The Drum and TV commercial rating site David Reviews brings you Ad of the Day where we look at some of the most recent ads on TV.

Philip Glenister draws on his reputation for playing plain-talking tough guys in this ad for Gordon's Gin which has him listening with exasperation to a pretentious description of a glass of wine. It's a risky approach but we bet it works and boosts sales dramatically.

His line could have been so much more.

Defeat from the jaws of victory.

This campaign is abysmal: co-copywritten by David Brent and Alan Partridge.
