Thumbs up Apple adverts on UK TV

I was just fast forwarding through the adverts from last night's "Grand Designs Indoors" (on Channel 4) on my Tivo when I spotted the Apple logo flash up.

I rewound and watched the "bloke blown out of his house" advert for the "most powerful personal computer."

I've not seen much Apple advertising in the UK, just the occasional iPod advert in lifestyle magazines, so it was nice to see something in the middle of a prime time show.

Are there any other adverts to watch out for?

Right now, only the "Pods Unite" VW commercial.

Did the commercial have a British voiceover?

No, it had an American voice over, so I guess it was pretty much unchanged, except for the URL at the end, www.apple.com/uk/G5

Ah, the same computer as in the United States, but with bad teeth.

Hehe, just kidding... I know none of you Brits have any teeth at all!
