Eardrum gives John Cleese away at Cannes

The team’s idea was voted the ‘most radical radio’ by the 200 workshop attendees, so now John Cleese will read a personalized message for their voice mail.

“Faulty Towers was very popular in Hungary, but I thought he was dead”, said one of the winners, Adrienn Baranyai.

Says Ralph van Dijk from Eardrum: “Due to a rather large alimony commitment, John has made himself more available for voice work. But he’d normally draw the line at answer machines.”
