Award-winning comedian Diane Morgan is the star of a new Red Funnel advertising campaign celebrating what makes the Isle of Wight "wonderfully different".
The Cunk and Mandy star arrives on the Island by ferry before exploring some of its more unusual attractions and talking points — including dinosaur fossils, red squirrels, blue wine and garlic ice cream.
Red Funnel says the campaign aims to challenge traditional tourism advertising and raise the Island's profile as a holiday destination.
A recent survey found 32% of people named Cornwall and 17% Devon when asked about UK holiday destinations, compared with just 3% who mentioned the Isle of Wight.
The BAFTA and Emmy-nominated actor and writer delivers a series of typically deadpan responses as she discovers the Island's landscapes, attractions and local quirks.
Red Funnel says the campaign, launching this month, is designed to showcase the Island's individuality while helping it stand out in a crowded UK tourism market.
