Worst BBC Wales Six Nations advertising campaign ever?

Has anyone seen that awfully irritating child on his little quests around Banwen?

Some of the old BBC Wales Six Nations build up adverts were quite funny and exciting, but these are an absolute joke.

Scary, looks like a little feral child.

frak me that kid's acting career just started and ended in the same ad

Unsettlingly bad.

It is kinda creepy, isn't it?

The first in the series was a good effort, dad explaining to the boy not to get his hopes up for anything like last year. Exactly how a lot of us must have felt going into this years tournament.

On the flip side here's the best ever five nations promo that was aired the week before the last ever five nations match

Feral children in Banwen are considered upper class.

I don't think the kid is even Welsh tbh, going by the accent. Like that idiot on the Nature Valley bar ads who sounded like Apoo from The Simpsons.

It's good that child actors receive honest feedback anyway, otherwise they get a bit big for their boots. Look what happened to Macauley Culkin.

I saw the girl who played 'Spare' from Scrum 4 in Debenhams once. She wasn't particularly happy about being recognised. Called security after about 20 minutes of me asking for an autograph.

that's a really dreadful video.

That kid is a tad feral.

So what if I am a meat trombone soloist? He is still a feral child.

Bring back Scum IV, Henry's Heroes (I guess it would have to be Gats Guns now), or Boyd Clack (Gwyn from Satelite City) those ads always made me chuckle.

That said the 6Ns has been poor, so an iffy ad campaign is kind of fitting.

WTF!

However bad,it is still better than the English one!

Cmon guys we make poor advert choices both sides of the border

Despite being Welsh, this advert is a masterpiece.

If heineken made adverts........

Getting bored of these grandslams now. Will be nice to win a championship without a slam for a change.

Best moment of 2008: Martyn Williams trip.

But I bet the kid and his dad can spell "should" correctly.

I assume your single, as any married man can tell you dragons exist. And their far nastier than any of the ones in myths or folklore.

It's a Director of Rugby for the Leicester Tigers. So it still exists.
