Any other brits seen the current Halifax building society advert on TV and instantly been reminded of the Crimson Mutual Assurance Society?

Kept waiting for the building to sail off the edge of the world or something.

Gilliam should sue...

Then again, after Brazil, he could have made a fortune several times over from suing ad execs who ripped him off. Or, knowing Gilliam's luck with money, bankrupted himself and his family to unto seven generations.

Ahh, Crimson Permanent Assurance... the sketch which involves, IIRC, Arthur Dent being skewered through an executive chair, and Max Headroom comitting a perfect Python suicide out of the window (it's the little hop that makes it perfect).

Well look at the track record. Baron Munchausen, Don Quixote... etc.

And people aren't wearing enough hats.

Damn, it was Permanent, not Mutual, wasn't it.
