Maybe they'll get Lost Voice Guy in to do the next one?

That would be great. Is there a regulation on the minimum amount of information that needs to be covered in a safety video? I suppose this might differ with each aviation authority, or is each airline governed by their "home" authority in this regard?

I think the point made above that the current comedy version might be confusing to people whose first language is not English is actually a really important one. It needs to be clear, concise and to the point with minimal confusion possibilities.

Jess Babe don't be so hard on yourself

Is it just my dirty mind or was this supposed to be a double entendre based on the way the director made this comment?

NO, it's more a reference to a popular song she had. The dirty mind bit I think is more the oogling of Thandy Newton when she takes her shoes off.

At least in the Spanish version, it does reference "your lovely lifejacket" though.

The new new video has just been released to crew. It includes David Walliams, Michael Caine, Joanna Lumley and a few other faces. It’s broadly the same but slightly shorter at around 5min 50secs.

Does Caine blow the bloody doors off during the emergency evacuation?

He doesn’t and that’s definitely a missed opportunity on BA’s part.

Still too long then.

It might be a bit more engaging if there were multiple versions, with a semi-random mixture of celebrity parts, so that it would not always be the same every time you see it - that way maybe you might be encouraged to watch it to see who was in it each time.
