"Play a part in TV history"

*Pfft*

Those prises are gash.

that will work when half the country can't get channel five on analogue

Which channel do we think will mess this up? ITV1 are showing the ad during a film, but Ant and Dec is on before the film so it only takes that to overrun by a few seconds to mess up Last Minute's idea. Unless the adverts aren't booked back to back to the exact second, in which case its a pretty crap idea anyway.

Yeah, cos no one would have thought about that would they?

They're having a laugh... lost count only 14 seconds into it!

Is it just me or is there something missing on that Channel 4 logo on the lastminute.com webpage?

Obviously someone has thought about it, though clearly not you. Why don't you think about it and post your thoughts? What is the answer in your opinion?

Will all three channels talk to each other and make sure they play the adverts at the right time? Will each channel have given Last Minute a guarantee that the adverts will be played out at an exact time to the second? Will the adverts have been booked with a 30 second gap inbetween each one so that over/underruns don't matter as much? Will each channel add or drop promos to make sure the adverts go out at the correct time?

Yep - the right block of it is missing.

S4C probably

Whether they get it right or wrong, its going to get people to watch their advertising segement (be it theres or somebody elses commerical) so it will be the advertising agencies dream.

They could or could not, as they have the Film My Super Ex-girlfriend scheduled to start at 9.55pm, so there could be a chance they could get the ad in at 9.51pm.
