CREATIVE - Peter Souter, deputy chairman, Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO

Ha! I warn you, I am in an annoyingly cheerful mood. I've got a swanky new worldwidey job that, at the moment at least, seems to involve lots of shopping trips to New York: ha! Braze is running the department and, let's face it, he was always the one with the talent: ha! My son, Ted, has just got in to the only school in North London that doesn't make you take the nerdy common entrance exam: ha! And, amazingly, every single one of this week's ads are genuinely good: ha!

Heinz Mean Beanz (2) is a high-quality gag (hope the agency came up with the product name). The ads feature scary-ass South American beans gabbling unpleasantries. The ten-second spot is even better than the 30.

Fanta Z (3) is clearly a terrifically brave client to allow its product to be spat out relentlessly in the name of comedy (my only slight criticism is the spitting is a little gentle; last-minute loss of nerve, perhaps?). Any-which-way, a very neat piece of work.

Harrods (4) has got ten designers, sorry tailors, to have a fight in its poster to very funny effect. Viv's nosebleed is a nice touch, I think, hopefully caused by a punch.

Stella Artois (1) has beautiful production values, as ever, backed by superior acting and cool music. It is maybe not quite as funny as the Vince Squibb classic 'doctor', but then neither is any ad made since, so let's not be churlish.

If you were to look at the Wanadoo (6) broadband site (and why on earth would you wanadoo that when you could get much better broadband from lovely, reasonably priced BT?), you'd see a couple of neat banners, my favourite being the pyromaniac's porn bit where you get to strike matches and melt stuff (just kidding about the melting stuff). All click and no drag; well done, basement geeks.
