GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK

This week's best spot isn't for beer. It's for bread. That's right, bread! Guy Mainwaring delivers a beautifully realized knockout for Warburton's. This is a profoundly silly yet strangely moving campaign. Neatly done. I can almost picture Hovis taking an urgent meeting with their agency. Old Spice follows up 'The man your man could smell like' with 'Matterhorn'. Well, let's just say this one smells considerably different. I have to mention Dos Equis. I love this work and although this is probably the 20th outing of The Most Interesting Man in the World, he's still got it.
