[TOMT] [TV ADVERT] [1999/2000] UK tv commercial with a kid wearing a suit walking through various famous TV shows like Dr Who, Trumpton and Bill & Ben, circa 1999/2000
Somebody is bound to remember this, but googling various variations of “kid wearing suit UK advert” just isn’t bringing anything up.
So it was an advert on UK tv, potentially something to do with the BBC, I’m fairly certain it was something to do with the new millennium, so it would have been around 1999, and this kid is CGI’d into various TV shows and talking to the TV audience as he does so. I remember clips from Dr Who, Trumpton, Bill & Ben and the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Hopefully somebody is able to help!

Did anything come of the Trumpton vs Radiohead (Burn the Witch) copyright infringement claims?
Did this whole thing get dropped? Or is it still going on? I can't find any articles about it after May 2016. I'm genuinely curious. If anyone is out of the loop this article should fill you in. Cheers!
