These have probably been running in obscure late-night slots for ages, but I caught it for the first time at 8pm after C4 News tonight.

Basically a host of celebs - ranging from Davina McCall and Michael Palin to Bono and Justin Timberlake - in white against a white backdrop clicking their fingers every three seconds - illustrating how a child dies needlessly every three seconds due to poverty.

Very effective ad.

Yeah, I signed up at Make Poverty History.org and got the band. With it, I get e-mails and one today said it would be on all stations at 19.58. It wasn't on BBC One or ITV1 as far as I could see.

Apparently it was to be shown on ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 simultaneously, but a time wasn't given, and I didn't see it.
