Commercial Advertising on TV
Does anyone else think that there is way too much commercial advertising on TV these days? It seems to be that for a programme that lasts an hour (for example), we get around 40 mins of programme and around 20 mins of adverts and for a 30 minute programme - 20 mins of programme and 10 mins of ads.
Martin Popplewell defects
I'm surprised noone seemed to notice Martin Popplewell, formerly of 5 News, presenting through the night on Sky News the other night. I really can't believe that 5 let Martin go, he was better by far than Rob Butler and Charlie Stayt, but I feel that he will be a big name at Sky before long.
Night and Day
Personally, I think that Night and Day is the best thing to happen to ITV1's 1705 slot for a very long time - since Home & Away in fact. OK, that's not saying much, but if you haven't seen it yet, or haven't had the patience to persevere with the storylines, do so because it's well worth it.
