My colleague Luke McKernan has located this advert on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5xZc_ufVw0 and it can also be found on
visit4info.com (but downloading the ad from this site requires a
subscription). I transcribe the script which is read above `Land of Hope and
Glory'
This Crunchy Nut isle
This other Eden
This Honey and Nut Paradise
This land built by spoons
To harbour our bowls of milk and crunch
A breakfast served to seduce our taste buds
With endless munch and crunch and bite and chew
You can have your toast, you can spread your butter, but nothing beats
A CRUNCHY NUTTER
{stirring strains of `Land of Hope and Glory']
"The whole nation has Gone Crunchy Nut".
The visit4info.com site gives a lot of information on the production team
(the agency is J. Walter Thompson) but doesn't give the name of the person
doing the voice-over. If anyone recognises the voice, let me know!

Dear participants, many thanks. The voice was offscreen and suitably
fruity: as might be expected, the Shakespearean part gradually disappeared,
to be replaced by the consumer message. Best wishes, Mark Burnett
