Does anybody remember a television advert (at least in the UK) for Us? I am sure I saw one once - then never again!

I remember sth. else, that could interest our friends from France: When "Us" came out, the new release was mentioned at the end of the evening news of French channel "TF1" - the news speaker was that one guy with the red-brown curly hair. In the back there was a short clip to be seen from the "Us"-cover shooting - Peter in indigo blue and the woman in white - a clip I never saw again afterwards. At least a few shots from this clip can be found on one of my "Warm Up"-photo-gallery.

Wasn't that clip included in All About Us? Or was that a different one?

I know which clip you`re talking about ("All about Us"-VHS), but it wasn`t that one. Let me describe the clip a bit: it was some only a FEW SECONDS actually with the camera focussing on PG in indigo-blue like the pic used for the "Us-album" as a cover. It was a quite FAST-MOVING film sequence with PG spreading out his arms and the woman in white jumping around - like both would come together by doing some hectic and fast movements at the same time - so ONE shot form this short film sequence became the "Us"-cover-photo in the end. Just take a look at the cover once again and you will see the "speed" and a kind of frozen in fast movements of both.
