Who is that actor?

Put ITV onto record. Zap through until you get to the add then pause, and go through each frame.

I’ve got an ‘X-ray feature’ on my all singing and dancing Sky Glass.
It tells you exactly who everyone on screen is and tells you stuff about them.

If I see what you are talking about I’ll try it.

Or give us a screenshot if you can!

It’s infuriating, isn’t it

Yes, it is infuriating. Perhaps Sky Glass will come to the rescue. Wish my memory was better.

I saw the advert last night, at least I spotted Benedict Cumberbatch, but by the time it had registered, I forgot to look!

Will try again when I see the ad next.

Is it Matthew McFadyen?

Is it Conleth Hill, who played Lord Varys in Game of Thrones?

It took me a while to recognise him in Magpie Murders, because he had hair!

Of course!

No, none of the above - Conleth Hill looks a lot like him, but I don't think it is. I've emailed ITVX to see if they can tell me but I'm still waiting for a reply and to wait until I can successfully record it to take a screenshot.

Many thanks for trying, though.

At last! ITVX have answered.

The actor is Greg McHugh. Apparently he was in something called Fresh Meat but I remember him from The A Word where he played Eddie.

Glad you found out who it was. I loved Greg McHugh as Gary: Tank Commander and as Teddy in Guilt.

Oh I do like Greg McHugh, he has such a lovely face!

DamaskRose He does have a lovely face, doesn't he - great smile, too.

I remember Greg from “The A Word” too Cats and Morven Christie played his wife.

Joe's parents were Alison (Morven Christie) and Paul (Lee Ingleby) in The A Word. Greg McHugh played Alison's brother Eddie.

Oh you’re right Chestnut, apologies.
