Yes, it is more the radio advert at the moment. Ending almost every single word in an upward inflection like every word is a question.

Why have you involved yourself with those money supermarket bks adverts !

I couldn't believe it when I saw her in that.

Seems to be the man-bunned hipster season for Nationwide

Not adverts but weather forecasts. I can't watch them, they just go on and on, it drive me nuts. Can there be anyone on the planet who can't look at their phone and check the forecast for their area in seconds? Do away with them they're just filler.

Of course you are correct but I do like some of the presenters

I use to go out of my way to watch them if Lucy's doing it, it was my only reason to watch GMB in the mornings before.

was it C5 that did topless weather presenters IIRC? or some other late 90's channel?

[KingNothing]

Just seen a British Gas advert on youtube, two kids leaving their dads house to go back to their mams after the weekend, he turns everything off after they leave and sits in the cold dark, voiceover talks about people struggling, and someone rings them from the British Gas Energy Trust to check on him.

Looked up British Gas (Centrica) profits for 2021 afterwards... £948 million.

Yeah, fk off.

Live TV.
They did topless darts and a midget doing the weather as well.
Sort of lads mag but on telly.

Sky Sports' Soccer AM used to do topless weather on Saturday mornings. Of course the joke was that the weather forecaster was always a man.

The woman's voice in the Vodafone advert. She also did the Vauxhall Corsa ad for some time.

Incredibly irritating whiney voice which just triggers something in me and fills me with hate for the duration of the advert.

Yes, about the most annoying delivery around at the moment. In which case she’ll be in high demand

Yes she’s back with a bang. Her voice kind of bounces round our living room no matter what fecking volume the telly is at. Does my head in.

Not as bad as the bloody Omaze woman

Feels like the longest advert every made! Not to mention the record breaking amount of times she says the word TIME!

I'm sure I read somewhere that she's suffering from degrading eyesight, so perhaps this is just a way of bunging the pension up while she can. Or maybe she thought she was signing up for something else.

Dame Judi's success came later in life therefore I'm sure she still remembers the lean years and as such is not going to turn down a paycheck. I would also imagine she doesn't take herself too seriously and likes to keep busy.

Yes I expect this was more for fun than anything. Must be nice to reprise the M style character.

I recall many many years ago seeing an interview on a chat show with William Franklyn - remember him ?
"Sshhh - You know who" for those that do.

He noted that many of his "theatre colleagues" were very stuffy about the fact that he was doing television work.
He then pointed out that it paid for his very nice house and put both of his kids through private school.

[Milkyway]

Reminds me of a famous quote;
“I don’t get out of bed for less than ten thousand”...

I expect that Brian Blessed doesn’t do too badly either.

Two adverts close together;
The first one for a deodorant that lasts 24hrs, followed by ‘keeps yours clothes smelling fresh for weeks’...Who are these people

Probably already had it, but Smart Insurance is just plain cheap and nasty.

Life Insurance ad implying a single Mum to be moving into a new home. The script is absolute cringe.

Seen it on Sky Sports several times and have to mute it.
