UK fans will be able to see Richard on the small screen as he steps into the shoes once filled by Status Quo when he appears in a new advert for catalogue chainstore Argos. The cheap graphics and Quo’s unmistakable “Whatever You Want” soundtrack have gone and in comes the Withnail And I actor with Ab Fab’s Julia Sawalha.

Meanwhile Aussie fans can hear Richard as he does the voiceover for a weekly series of 007 Spy magazines which are now screening on TV.

Thanks to David, Joann and Dominique for the reports.
