I thought somewhere to comment on or suggest TV programs might be a good subject as it tends to get put in amongst other threads so not easy to find later on.

We watched the last of the Vigil series on Friday night, it's been quite well done, about faslane and Russian spies on a submarine, also started the second series of Manhunt with Clunsie playing a very odd part as a rozza.

Also a really good USA series, man with a plan, very funny.

There's this starting tonight but I find these are 99% supposition and after a while, I stop watching.

Nah, not for me.

We might watch the Hairy Bikers. They do find some really nice little places to visit and see how artisan food is made. It is Leeds tonight.

Have any of our members seen the new John Lewis Insurance advert? If not it is well worth watching!!!

It can be viewed on YouTube.

No, Ray, it is not you. God knows who these ads are aimed at. I assume they do some sort of market research before spending huge amounts on broadcasting them?

Apart from the moronic caterwauling audio and the subliminal flashing images I have trouble in realising what they are actually promoting. And what the subject being portrayed has to do with the final product I'm totally confused.

Not seen the JL add yet Drew. But I try not to spend too much time on commercial channels when they cane be recorded and edited.

If that's the JL ad with the kid trashing his gaff, then yes we have seen it. I wonder if they will drop the ad if people rang up to claim on their insurance as their kids had done the same after being 'encouraged' to by the ad!!

Annoyingly Corrie apparently killed off the character who had MS, last night! It's a shame as they could have done so much with the character to try and raise some awareness of the illness.

Yes Ray they are aimed specifically at you mate.

Sorry, couldn't resist, but we rarely watch any as we zoom through them, we don't watch live TV these days.

Like you Ray I avoid the commercial channels where I can and record them so that I can zip through the ads. If I do have to watch one live I mute the sound.

They don't write adverts like they used to ...

'You wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!'

'They asked me how I knew, it was Esso Blue; I, of course replies, with cheaper grades one buys, smoke gets in your eyes'

'Shippams for tea, for tea, for tea ...' [to the tune of 'The Blue Danube' in a cartoon Opera House, with Dinner Jacketed Prawns & Crabs watching from the Private Box ...]

Does this date me? If not, 'Get the strength of the Insurance Company around you' certainly does!

We'll be playing catch up with Paris Police 1900on BBC4, so 2 hours glued to the sub titles, trying to pick out more than 1 word in 6 of colloquial French. The swear words are beginning to stick in the brain; always useful for conversing with French drivers ... :smile2:
