I think they mean they thought the boys had a new brother called Aleksandr from the title when in fact Riley was just impersonating the great Aleksandr Orlov  :naughty:

I wonder if there is anyone on here who is very good with photoshop and such things - to be able to 'add on' an Aleksander smoking jacket (damn those classy Meerkats!).    It would be fun to see!. ;D

I am so glad you know who he is now.  I think it's the cheeky smile and the way he says 'simples' that has captured everyones hearts.

I particularly like the 'meet team' section - Sergei is very old. It is difficult to date him exactly, but I estimate him no less than 77.  :evillaugh:

That's a brilliant one Mary - whoever thinks these up - they are nuts but highly creative!    I loved the 'wardrobe malfunction' and the way you can hear the WOW - in the real voice.  Like you, the way Aleksandr bursts out laughing and can't finish his ditty - you can imagine the 'real crew' buckling up with laughter.     :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Whoever had the idea - it's got to be one of the most successful advertising campaigns ever - right up there with the  Smash adverts!

The attention to detail,  like in the recent advert - Aleksandr turns to his left, fade out and fade in to the next scene -  has the Arab Meerkat in the same position,  same when Arab Serg looks through the empty can of grubs,  it links into the 'sun' in the next frame - absolutely faboulous thought and detail that gives it all a very highly polished look.

The other week I was flicking through the stations and there was a Best Advert of the Noughties programme on - it was down to the last 10 so I watched it.  Meercat was no.2  :( :(

The latest Hovis one was no. 1 - the one where it goes back to the very 1st ad and then he runs along the street and he's older and in a later ad a few years on..... until it gets to 2009. - it was ok but not as good as meercat
