"The Mix"

A cocktail of talent.

Dr Dre and Gordon Ramsay appear on screen for a collaboration for the former's gin company (co-owned with Snoop Dogg, who provides the VO) and Gordon Ramsay who is attached to HexClad, the cookware company that makes the advertised cocktail shaker. The outcome takes the path you'd expect with Ramsay sending himself up as a wannabe music performer... but the predictability does it no harm as the collaboration is fun, and Dr Dre is so achingly cool that his inclusion elevates the gag.

This success is largely due to director Peter Franklyn Banks's convincing wrangling of the talent, as well as some clever trickery at the start of the piece as the camera travels along the groove of a vinyl record. As everyone scrambles to find the coolest possible gift for Christmas, this option could prove a winner.
