Paddy Power: Ireland Vs Great Britain

BBH London creates this funny advert for Paddy Power. It is about riding the line of rivalry between Ireland and Great Britain as both nations go under starters orders for The Cheltenham Festival.

The advert features Colm Meaney (an Irish actor known for playing Miles O’Brien in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). Colm comes face-to-face with ex-England International Peter Crouch at the gates of the hallowed racetrack.

The ad concludes with Crouchy and Meaney standing shoulder-to-shoulder as they push their way through the turnstiles.
