LONDON, October 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Aleksandr and Sergei, comparethemarket.com's beloved meerkat characters, are back on screens in the latest instalment of the price comparison website's hugely popular series of adverts.

The new advert features Aleksandr visiting, a window cleaner, while he's at work on the 8^th floor.  As a reward for returning to comparethemarket.com to purchase home insurance, Sergei abseils down the building to offer the window cleaner a choice of exclusive meerkat toys to add to his collection.

Nicola Stubbs, Director of Communications at comparethemarket.com said: "The comparethemarket.com Meerkat Toy Collection scheme has proved hugely successful since our launch last year. The toys have been so well received that they're now considered collector's items with many consumers trying to collect all the characters.
