British theatre is well represented with Dame Judi Dench and Rupert Everett both featured in the campaign, along with Slumdog Millionaire actor Dev Patel, fashion icon Twiggy and chef Jamie Oliver.
Alongside a number of 30 and 60 second commercials that have been created for the campaign, are longer films featuring each of the celebrities.
