Michael: Tasters Choice (Gold Blend) Ads
         
The commercials feature two neighbors, Sharon and Michael (British actors Sharon Maughan and Anthony Stewart Head). The coffee plays a background role to the barely concealed romantic tension between the two. The series started off with her borrowing Tasters Choice from him.
My View: Unfortunately I have never seen the ads. I have only heard good things though, but what else can you expect from ASH. :) To see him in a role where he gets to ooze with sex appeal......drool. :)

Adam Klaus: Jonathan Creek
         
Jonathan Creek (Alan Davies) is the genius behind magician Adam Klaus's (Anthony Stewart Head) stage act. He hides his brilliant mind behind a shaggy unassuming appearance, but he has been found out - by a pushy, investigative journalist called Madeline Magellan (Caroline Quentin), who needs his help.
My View: Tony was only in the pilot episode of Jonathan Creek. I have only seen the pilot, but I though it was excellent, it is basically a murder mystery show. They have some very odd ways of explaining how they happed. They seemed pretty far fetched to me, but it was very exciting. Tony's character likes a woman he seem in the audience, and she becomes his assistant, and more. She also turns out to be a murder! I though Tony did a great job as Adam, ego and all! Then again when doesn't Tony do a fantastic job as an actor!

Rupert: A Prayer For The Dying
       
As a school bus merrily speeds past an army caravan, it suddenly explodes. Stunned and horrified, Martin Fallon (Mickey Rourke) flees. He had planted the bomb for soldiers - not to kill innocent school children. Disillusioned, Fallon seeks desperately to escape his violent life. But the movement wants his heart; the mob wants his mind; the police want his blood. Trapped...all he wants is freedom. Tony plays Rupert, who is a henchman for the mob.
My View: I thought the movie was okay, but I must be honest, I only bought it for the shots of ASH naked from the back (nice bum). Hey, can you blame me? Tony does a really good job for the small role he had in the movie. Anyway this is a must have for any ASH fan. :)

Peter Salter: Spooks
         
Storming the State Consulate of Turkey leaves Tom wounded and his girlfriend, Ellie, unable to accept any more of his lies. Tom is forced to reveal his real role to her and Maisie, but at work a more serious situation appears to be gathering momentum.
Anti-Bush and anti-globalisation rallies are planned in London and Danny and Zoe are sent to observe. Things become confused when they recognise a top MI5 officer, who appears to be undercover, but whom they weren't told would be on the operation. Peter Salter, however, is a respected officer, so Zoe makes the decision to let him go.
With Tom being Salter's official confidante, Zoe calls him in. Harry admits to Tom that Salter is on a joint secret operation between MI5 and 6, in an effort to catch Istvan Vogel, the leader of an extreme anarchist group. MI6 suspect Vogel of planning to disrupt President Bush's imminent visit to the UK.
As Tom struggles to remain calm with the exasperating Jools Siviter of MI6, an increasingly tangled web yields unexpected news: Salter has fallen for one of Vogel's followers, Andrea.
A showdown sees Tom order Salter off the case, but Salter flees. Unsure now whose side he is on, Tom and his team try desperately to find him. Things become further muddied when Harry, keen to regain control, commands Tessa contact one of her covert agents who, it's thought, is undercover with a related anarchist group. Zoe goes to meet the agent, only to find Tessa waiting. The corrupt Tessa has been running phantom agents and pocketing their pay. She hands Zoe £10,000, in return for her silence.
Whilst MI5 search for him, Salter, Andrea and other members of Vogel's group break into a university campus, where Salter hacks into a computer. Security catches them in the act and, although the others escape, Salter is caught and hauled back to Harry and Siviter. Tom uses all the tricks he learnt from Salter, and gets him to admit to betrayal but beyond this obvious admission, the secret services are still in the dark - and Bush's visit is getting closer. What was he doing in the university? Before Tom can attempt further interrogation, Salter takes his own life and keeps his secret to himself.
Later that night, Danny suddenly realises what Salter's computer hacking means, he's been tampering with the Air Traffic Control system. However, Danny is a quick thinker and his intervention, results in the President's plane being diverted to Paris.
My View: I have seen quite a few of Tony's performances, but let me tell you, I have never felt for another character like Peter! He is an under cover MI5 agent. He falls in love with the woman who is with an anarcisit group. He is torn between his love for her and doing his job. Well MI5 figures this out, and Peter is caught. After questioning him, he takes his own life. Left me in tears, it looked to real with him just hanging there! Freaky! Tony played the part with so much emotion, and the end was almost so real it was disturbing!
