i'm going to miss it on principal


Its really annoying, not only did they run a promotion for new drama Honest over the end of Emmerdale, the announcer mentioned it before Corrie and then we got that as well. They must be really desperate to promote these new series.


Not to mention a full double-sided advert for Honest in today's newspapers.

Damn ITV to hell for advertising their programmes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

(Though I agree about the IPPs - monstrous)

To reach the maximum number of people? Just because YOU watch Emmerdale AND read a paper, doesn't mean they should only advertise during Emmerdale.

They can advertise precisely when, where and how they wish and apart from IPPs I see zero problem with them doing so.

They can adverise it but 3 plugs for the programme in the space of 5 minutes is OTT.

Exactly - so often a programme is promoted within the last few minutes of a programme, then on the end credits and then again before the next programme.


It'll get even worse next week too.

Going by the end of tonights first episode it looks like it will pick up where it left off at 8.30pm so perhaps they did give advance warning of the schedule change afterall as this would have been filmed over a month ago. Unless tonights was always going to be a double episode.

Quite a good episode written by Jonathan Harvey tonight.

Is it me or are they messing around with the sound on this? Or is it just that the ads are now even more louder than usual?

how stupid was that court hearing, sent down for his first offence for hitting a teacher who slept with his technically underaged daughter Confused

and what was Sophie doing in there, thought minors (under 16s) weren't allowed in courtrooms

and talking of IPPs no number of them in my face during a programme that interests me is going to make me watch a programme that does not interest me.

that is like assuming the more people I see fishing the more likely I am to take up fishing as a hobby

Im not quite sure if this is Kevin's first offence - he has hit quite a few of Sally's fella's in the past!
