I might be remembering wrongly because I couldn't find any on youtube or any references on Google, but didn't Rowan Atkinson appear in a series of Amstrad CPC ads in the 80s?

Did he? I'd love to see them if true!

I'm 99% sure it was definitely Rowan Atkinson - he even did his glasses with his elbows up using his hands as glasses

I grew up in New Zealand and the ad would have been between 1984 and 1987.

(unless it wasn't an Amstrad ad, but I am still pretty sure it was)

I don't remember ever seeing Amstrad adverts on TV down here (although I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean there weren't any).

Ah but it's not the mini...

Those Rowan Atkinson Amstrad ads definitely played on TV in New Zealand in the 1980s.

As mentioned, he did the hands-as-goggles thing, and as he did so he said "Biggles".

That's all I got.

I may be misremembering, but Rowan Atkinson appeared in a number of Amstrad CPC commercials in the 1980s, despite my inability to find any references to him on YouTube or Google.
