Who Gives You Xtra?

What if you can't think of a favourite book, film or TV show but have agonised over the order of your top 10 adverts from the '00s? That is the predicament facing Noughties Podcast co-host Rob Comba. And, as it turns out, he isn't alone.


For episode one, with help from advertising stars and enthusiasts, we take a deep dive into noughties ads and look to understand why they've lived so long in people's memories. It was a remarkable decade in advertising, one where bank clerks could become national treasures, cleaning product salesmen could release chart-topping hits and women couldn't expect any help on Thursdays.


Join us on our journey, as we welcome special guests:


  • Neil Burgess, aka Barry Scott from the Cilit Bang adverts
  • Howard Brown, star of the Halifax ads
  • Anthony Smith, who worked on Yorkie's 'Not for Girls' campaign
  • Paul Pateman, who worked on Nuts magazine's launch
  • Stella Merz, advertising enthusiast
  • Michael Lyons, advertising enthusiast
