ITV1 have a documentary about Public Information Films at 10.15 tonight which should be worth a look

I seen it actually thought it was very good, interesting and entertaining but yet informative.

Yes, a rare documentary on ITV which, despite (or perhaps because of) the presence of the very funny Ade Edmondson, resisted the temptation to make an 'ironic' piss-take and, instead, actually treated the subject matter with respect for the most part.

It started with me thinking it was going to be yet another ITV load of rubbish, finished seeing me pleasantly surprised.

Yes, it was a lovely little gem from ITV - nice to see they break with tradition and still make the odd show like this.

I thought it was very well made, especially as it retained the right amount of humour but also very much highlighted the serious side that many of the ads were portraying.

Thought it was brilliant, especially as there were no talking heads from critics and the like, just intros from Ade seemed to be enough.
