A still from the emotional ad

The ad tells the story of an old man who lives alone on the moon, who is eventually delighted when a young girl reaches out to him, and offers him a telescope, so he can see her on Earth.

‘Half The World Away’ was initially an Oasis b-side, but garnered attention when it was used as the opening theme tune to the British sitcom, ‘The Royle Family’.
