Yeah it's like hybrid of Number 1 and 2.
At least Gandalf is back

Yes, saw it a few days ago. As you say, mostly a mashup of the previous two, with a new line added here or there. For example, Olivia Coleman added her Golden Globe to the 3 Baftas, but failed to mention the Oscar IIRC - maybe they are saving that for version 4. Chabuddy G's Michael Caine impression also added at the start.

I can't stand these safety videos and find them totally cringeworthy.

IIRC she now has, inter alia, 4 BAFTAs, 2 Golden Globes and an Oscar!

Has Gordon Ramsay made a return?

In that case she is definitely saving something for version 4...

Don't recall seeing Gordon, I think that section was using the version 2 scene done by Naomie Harris.

At least removing the video screens from the short haul fleet has one benefit. Manual Demos.

The screen is so small that I couldn’t see if Olivia Colman and Asim Chaudhry were wearing their Extinction Rebellion badges during the safety video. It feels strange to be lectured by the same people expressing different opinions depending on who is pointing the camera. Or perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised?

I absolutely hate the safety video. The old one was properly iconic, this one a horrific nod to the horrible celebrity culture that has invaded society.

It’s seriously probably the only enhancement in the last 10 years that’s had me close to typing ‘I’m never flying BA again!’
