Rushes post Capital Radio’s Johnny Vaughan spot Client: Capital
Radio Monday 19th April 2004 To coincide with Johnny Vaughan stepping into Chris Tarrant’s breakfast show on Capital Radio, this ‘good old London town’ commercial hits the spot. In a typical London street scene Johnny Vaughan is standing at a pedestrian crossing on his way to work. He breaks into song with “Maybe It’s Because I’m A Londoner” and is seen sashaying and dancing through London, past it’s famous landmarks. He appears firstly on a bus and tube, and then waltzing in the Tate Gallery. Outside Buckingham Palace he dances with the Queen’s Guard, as they twirl and join him in singing along. At Piccadilly Circus he is accompanied by traffic wardens and at Trafalgar Square, street cleaners and passer-bys join in the frivolities. He’s still singing as he enters Capital Radio. When he arrives at his studio a colleague asks if he had a good journey, he responds sardonically with “Just the normal.” Rushes Derek Moore adds; ”Due to the nature of the commercial, Pedro had to shoot the centre of London very early in the morning. This meant there was a lack of people in the Trafalger Square scene, people were replicated by combining a series of plates together in Flame as well as adding Big Ben behind Nelsons Column.” |
