Advertising

• Moir's first appearance television advertisements, alongside comedy partner Bob Mortimer, was for Cadbury's Boost chocolate bar.

• Since 1998, the pair voiced the Churchill Insurance adverts. Mortimer providing the voice of the adverts' signature nodding dog, and Moir as the consumer, prompting Churchill to tell the viewing public about the insurance deals offered by the company that he represents.

Moir's contract with Churchill was terminated in March 2005 after he was embarrassingly arrested for a drink-driving offence in which he ploughed his vintage Jaguar into a stationary vehicle in Maidstone before careering into a bank and hitting a fence. For this offence he was disqualified from driving for thirty-six months as of 21 April 2005 and ordered to do 100 hours community service. However, it is believed that Reeves' voice-over for the adverts was replaced by another voice artist - albeit in the same style - long before this incident (2004 at the latest), as now has Mortimer's.
