Thread Name: BS: Scary UK ad with good soundtrack
Subject: Scary UK ad with good soundtrack
There's a realy scary ad running on UK TV at the mo. It is a public info one about the need to fit smoke alarms in a house - Shows very atmospheric black and white shots of a graveyard with a tombstone inscribed with "Such and such a body - The landlord should have fitted one" - "Someone else - It wasn't my job" so on and so forth util it reaches the last name - which just says "Aged 3 months"

The song in the background is a realy good gospel type song done by a lady with a lovely voice. I dunno what it is. Has anyone else seen the ad who does know the song? (and possibly the singer?)

Apart from (or perhaps because of?) the rather somber message the ad is definitely one which should get some sort of award.

Cheers
