Feature in your own personalised 'shout out', performed by Yaris ad stars Gadget & Slick.
Toyota Yaris is offering fans the unique opportunity to create their own pop video, featuring a 'shout out' rap written and performed especially for them.
Between 12th and 14th January, fans can submit an answer to the question 'What has life thrown at you today?' via Toyota's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/toyotauk), or on Twitter via#OutsmartLIVE. The best answers will be transformed into a bespoke video, performed exclusively by 'Gadget' the rapper, and his puppet compatriot, 'Slick', stars of the recent Toyota Yaris TV commercial 'Gadget Guy'. These 'shout outs' will be broadcasted live on Facebook and YouTube.
The 'Outsmart Shout Out' activity is the next part of 'The Smart Money's on Yaris' campaign that began in August this year which promoted Yaris' dynamic and smart personality. The creative was developed by leading ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi. The 'Outsmart Shout Out' follows the 'Social Snap Shot' Facebook activity that went live in mid September. Both of these activities are designed to allow fans to interact with Toyota online in a fun and personal way that is shareable with their friends.
Lisa Fielden, Toyota Brand and Digital Marketing Manager said: 'The 'Gadget Guy' TV commercial has been a big hit for all new Yaris. With 'Shout Out', we want to do something fun, creative and of the moment'.
Andy Jex, Deputy Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi said: "They say never work with children and animals - surely puppets and cartoons are up there too? It's a daunting and exciting proposition. Hopefully the pair of them have the ability to pull it off. If they do - they can expect a call from Jim Henson or Pixar!"
How to get involved
Toyota are accepting entries via their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/toyotauk) or Twitter (using #OutsmartLIVE) from 5th January. The best answers will be made into personalised music videos, and broadcast on Facebook and Youtube from 12th January. The entrants who have videos created for them will receive a personal link as soon as it is broadcast.

The Gentle Touch - The Complete Fifth Series
Jill Gascoine stars as tough, no-nonsense female cop Maggie Forbes in The Gentle Touch - The Complete Fifth Series (15). It is available from all good retailers on 14th November 2011, RRP £39.99 in a 4-disc set.
Made at a time when there were very few ranking female officers in the police force, The Gentle Touch not only showed police procedure within a Metropolitan Police CID unit but also gave insight into how a woman might cope with such a role in what was very much a man's world. An instant hit with viewers, it became one of the most successful police dramas ever made, running for five years before spinning off into another series - C.A.T.S. Eyes.
Following the continuing challenges faced by DI Maggie Forbes, this fourth series, originally screened in 1982 and 1983, features more powerful and contemporary storylines that reflected the changing nature of police work in 1980s Britain; a stellar guest cast includes Joan Hickson, Michael Praed, Joanne Whalley, Art Malik and Clive Swift.

The Strange World Of Gurney Slade On Dvd On 15th August 2011
Both a product of its time and also wildly ahead of itself, Both firmly of and spectacularly ahead of its time, THE STRANGE WORLD OF GURNEY SLADE (PG) is said to be to television comedy what The Prisoner is to television drama - brilliantly inventive and startlingly surreal.
It's a compelling mix of innovation that pre-dates The Mighty Boosh and Psychoville, THE STRANGE WORLD OF GURNEY SLADE - THE COMPLETE SERIES (PG) is available for the first time in any format on 15th August 2011, RRP £14.99.
The story is that Anthony Newley stars as an actor who walks off the set of a banal sit-com in disgust and ennui, and into a fantasy world of his own imagination. In this strange odyssey through his own personal alternative reality, he indulges in random conversations with both animals and inanimate objects - it's a world in which characters can step out of advertising posters and where he can hear the most intimate thoughts of passers-by!
An unpredictable, absurdist fantasy, Gurney Slade created an indelible impression upon anyone who saw it. Created by Newley and written by the highly talented Sid Green and Dick Hills (who were soon to become key writers for Morecambe and Wise), this series has been newly transferred from the original 35mm film elements specifically for this release.
