Face and voice of the ads, Wynne Evans, composer Philip Jewson and producer Paul Cartledge, tell LBB’s Alex Reeves the story of how three notes from a 1917 song became one of UK advertising’s most notorious tunes
If you asked someone 20 years ago on a British high street to name an opera singer, they’d probably have gone with Pavarotti. But after 12 years of TV ads for an insurance price comparison website revolving around an opera performance, the answer from many today is likely to be “the GoCompare man”. Gio Compario - the curly-moustachio’d caricature of an Italian opera singer has permeated British culture, burrowing into our ears with three notes belted out repeatedly on commercials for GoCompare.

“The marbles belong in the Parthenon. In these difficult times, universal cultural heritage should uplift humanity, not divide it. #ParthenonMarbles” European Commission Vice President Margaritis Schinas posted on Twitter.
The Greek City of Times reports that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson dismissed Greece’s call to return the Parthenon Marbles to the country last week, arguing that the 2,500-year-old cultural treasures are “legally owned by the British Museum’s Trustees.”
“I understand the strong feelings of the Greek people – and indeed Prime Minister Mitsotakis – on the issue,” Johnson said during an interview with Ta Nea.
“But the UK government has a longstanding firm position on the sculptures which is that they were legally acquired by Lord Elgin under the appropriate laws of the time and have been legally owned by the British Museum’s Trustees since their acquisition,” he added.
