Anyone know how to identify voices, by the advert they appear on.

In particular, its the,
Niquitine ad,
which I think has the actor (Robert webb)

or 'Robin' from


the smoking room

Off topic, but does anyone know if Pauline Fowlers boyfriend of EastEnders did voice overs for anything? His voice sounds very familiar, and its doing my head in. The Mrs watches enders btw, not me, honest!

The guy's names is Ray Brooks. Apart from Mr. Benn, he's done loads of advertg voice overs. There was a time when he had the market more or less to himself. Fair play to him!!
