This is true dedication. To think Jay went ahead and found a woman, made her fall in love with him, move in, made a baby , waited 9 months to be born. All of this for a Surfshark VPN ad-read.
Getting a baby takes less than a day if you're smart. And you can hire a woman for the ad spot.
Yeah Sponsors Love him
he kidnapped that baby it's mine 😭 please give him back Mr Foreman
he is going to sacrifice his first-born to the London Underground... the ad was merely a front...
Don't be silly, that's ridiculous. There's gonna be 2 ads.

He should invite Frank Pick to co-star instead of that biscuit-eating cobble-stomper he normally does them with!
I just adore that Geoff Marshall, a usually bright and bubbly person, is playing an emotionless cardboard cutout. Amazing.
Don't forget Jago Hazzard as Beck.
@@user-wr7cv1ny5r The funny thing is that I only started watching Jago after this video was released, so I didn't get, until recently, ,the joke behind his 'You are the ungrateful company to my years of faithful service' line XD
Harry Beck's initial map design was huge. My grandmother (his niece) remembered seeing him climbing all over the dining table in his parent's house in Highgate making alterations and corrections.
She was very proud of her uncle's achievement and we have had copies of the originals hung up in our houses ever since.
Even now, my children are aware of Harry Beck's map.
To me, my Great Grand-Uncle's design is one of the most beautiful pieces of technical drawing ever, bordering on art.
How do you feel that your great grand uncle is a famous person?
thanks for sharing this
@@SacsachCCABP I feel immensely proud. Most of the time it's not something that anyone is overfully fussed about. But then you get moments like when my Design teacher at school told me that he wrote his dissertation about Uncle Harry.
It's undoubtedly one of the most iconic designs of the last century, and essentially inspired nearly every other metro map in the world. Phenomenal design.
That connection to someone famous must be a good conversation starter.
I love how Jay's same friends have appeared in the skits in this series for 10 years now. Quite wholesome

Only after watching the video for the second time I recognized that at 1:28 you answered why the chicken crossed the road :)
Love the channel and your humor - and it has the only videos in which you actually wait in anticipation for when the ad comes on.
Also! What’s with the white bird (gull?) making the sound of a crow? 1:41
If you’re wondering how they got Geoff to perfectly nail that ‘dead inside’ stare, they told him to ‘imagine a world without trains’

Finally it's here after so long :
ruclips.net/video/mCfYi7634rU/видео.html
Dedication indeed. I don't even know where you can buy humans in this size.
Surfshark also had to pay at least 9 months upfront, very generous of them
@Teamgeist the joke in both comment and the video itself was about Jay and ms. Foreman HAVING THEIR OWN baby just to make the VPN ad.
And the baby is tax deductible too. Win win
Geoff Marshall's acting is exemplary, for bookcases and other inert furniture items.
I am delighted to see another episode of "Unfinished London". Congratulations, Jay, for being a father --- and cheers to Madame Tussaud's for generously lending their impeccable rendition of Geoff Marshal for the making of this video!
And a stealthy Jago Hazzard!
I sincerely hope that Geoff now has two custom roundels that inexplicably say "my desk" and "frank pick"
I remain to be convinced that he didn't have them already.
im starting to think geoff might just be an alias for frank pick
Geoff apparently owns every roundel ever made. past presence and future. Both on the actual system of TfL but also everything else that sells a thing with a roundel on it.
Neither of them are Geoff’s actually. One belongs to me and Jay and the other is the DOP’s. Also, they are both photoshopped. They both said London on the day.
@@jadeforeman131 it's a good photoshop. Congrats on your baby, I wish you both the best

@@Recessio or did he kick her out? AFAIK we don't know either way.
Geoff's expression (or lack thereof) as Frank Pick is hilarious! And I loved Mr Tim Dunn's cameo 😬

Frank pick is honestly one of my favorite person portrayals in the whole of unfinished London so far
Just the way that his arms are always in the position of 'sitting at desk' is so funny to me
Plus, he's Geoff Marshall ^-^
He's Geoff Marshall :)
Geoff's acting almost brought me to tears. It was so moving.
It was literally the least moving thing ever…

One of the best Ad reads I’ve ever seen. Congrats to you and your partner on the Surf Shark!
@Bully peter Well done
@@jamesavis1 I knew it was coming, but it still put me in a laughing fit.
It seems like most RUclipsrs got more creative with their ads, which I love. I still hate that it sounds like corporational NPC speech here and there, however.
Advertisers should let RUclipsrs have more freedom on how they present the company, and more people would watch the ad. Better than the 100th "I downloaded App X today and use it every day, it's so amazing!"
6:12 The level of detailed humour is fantastic. "Back entrance, for deliveries and being fired"
I just noticed it! Indeed, that sign is fantastically humorous! Thanks for mentioning it!
As well as 7:45 NO SMOKING HERE - Please smoke indoors…
I don’t know if this was intentional but the ad break between Jay announcing “Beck” of “Harry Beck” was a stroke of comedic genius. The suspense was immeasurable
Thanks for the comment, wouldn't have noticed that with Premium
that didn't happen to me, the ad came about half a second after the blobby representation of Beck appeared, making said appearance a flash on the screen that was mildly frightening.
For me, the ad break came _right_ after Jay said "Beck"!
Almost thirteen years later, this series still exists, making this ‘Unforgettable London’ 🎉🎉🎉
And there's still new entries being added, so you might say it's Unfinished Series.

I think he was holding Frank Pick's position quite literally.
I always have to watch Jay's videos twice. The first time to actually watch the interesting content, and the second time to sift through for all the little easter eggs and jokes he's squeezed into the fine-print of random diagrams and signs.
reading this comment after having done this exact thing: 😳
Like what
Yes, exactly. Same. Every time.
I don't plan as carefully as you do and that's why I always end up watching his videos twenty times
The late 90s early 00s video recorder ad notice thing was incredible. I'd forgot they existed.
I love how the intro hasn't changed a single bit in 12 years!
Full marks to Geoff Marshall taking part.
And Jago Hazzard too!
Where is he? @@mezykin
I love Jay's humor. One is always rewarded for pausing and reading small print. The time and effort he puts into 1 second jokes is ...... muah
As long as it's one second and not three frames. Us mobile viewers be on hard mode.
Probably Scott Wozniak (Scott the Woz) and Jim Caddick (Caddicarus) took some inspiration from Jay. Their comedy style also involves one/two second skits that require decent amounts of time and effort.
@@BonaparteBardithion: I've made the mistake of watching it on a small phone screen, only to rewind and try to make out the fine print like a dozen of times. Not doing that anymore, full screen for me!
He has so much humor. Just look at 1:26
In case you didn’t get it, why did the chicken cross the road?
Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it wanted to change trains at Bank station.
I love that Geoff Marshall is involved with the bits, but somehow even more I love the idea of Jay going into a London bistro of some description and saying "yes, just a plate of spaghetti please" and then a little while later "a big pile of spaghetti.... yes, just a massive pile of it."
Hopefully the bistro gets some attention for the favour.
Except that's not that would have happened. They'll just have explained what they were doing and probably paid the restaurant for their help.
So wonderful to see Jay again. Congratulations on your new addition! Also, a nice surprise to see Geoff in a vid that includes an “equivalent to 15 floors “ sign
I laughed so hard at Geoff being Frank Pick. Keep it up, Jay!
And Jago Hazzard as Harry Beck! 👏👏👍😀
I am a train driver and yes, Jay is correct - you don't need to know the twists of the track at all. Our 'maps' of the railway, called S&I diagrams, represent everything in either straight lines or draws junctions in perfect geometry e.g. 45 degree angles then continuing as more straight lines.

Watching Harry Beck and Frank Pick two months after the original video makes a whole lot more sense! Also quite funnier!
"what is the story behind this map" my brain: MAP ME- oh its unfinished london
I seriously want to know how Geoff stayed perfectly still like that. Incredible.
They told him to think of allotments.
I wonder if Geoff secretly knows how to race cars. His stoicism in this video reminded me of the Stig.
Tim Dunn, Geoff Marshall, even Geoff's mum! It's like a railway presenter crossover.
The only one missing was Ashens, who made a voiceover cameo in an older video.
Don't think many realise Tim's in this.
we're only missing Jago Hazard, tho we don't know what he looks like, so maybe not
@@1224chrisng: Thank you for this, completely agree!
Lets be honest we waited so long for this:

When I tell you my jaw dropped when Geoff appears.... fantastic video as always Jay!
As someone who is interested in trains (and even has an alternative channel called SleepTrain456), I found it to be a very informative video! I didn't know it took so long and so many designs to get the modern London Underground map! I also learned that an _American_ was involved in the consolidation of the various underground lines (who went to very great efforts to make it harder to even transfer to other lines!) into a singular private company... and eventually London Transport! Thanks for the video!
Also, nice menagerie of puns!
