John Smith's, No nonsense: Diner

Your rating: None Average: 6.4 (15 votes)

Actor, writer and comedian Peter Kay reprised his role as John Smith's No Nonsense man for the first time in five years.

Kay, who was the star of John Smith's hugely-successful No Nonsense TV ad campaign from 2002 to 2005, is back to bring a smile to the face of Britain in the first of three new ads.

John Smith's, Britain's best-selling ale brand, has created three new scenarios featuring Kay at the helm, with the first Diner, re-uniting the Bolton funnyman with his TV "wife" on a pleasant evening out with friends – until his plain-speaking honesty brings a playful conversation about his "dream date" to an amusing and unexpected conclusion.
