News advert

I quite liked the 'Whenever Wherever' ones, with the camera systematically zooming out from the original car bomb, though the camera and TV screen, and eventually to Gavin Eslar (who seems to be in all promo vids) in the N24 studio.
The Beeb are good at this sort of thing, but I can't really think of another corporation who advertise themselves in this way, apart from Sky News Active adverts (enough said).

I liked that promo!

It was really good example of how news gets to us and just what goes on. Bring it back. I never got bored of seeing it, and I can't that about many promo's!

I think that was last transmitted on the day of the BBC Bomb, or it could have been the day before??

It was not deemed fitting to show a Promo which depicted a bomb after the Beeb itself had been attacked by such a device.

Has the new online advert been shown much on primetime BBC One - I think it should be (if they sort out the aspect!), but I haven't seen it much.

I wonder if there are any newspaper or billboard versions - there should be. A nice full-page ad in the Guardian would be quite good

I liked it too, it was shot on location in south africa at grate expence.
It had a small deatail at the begining which i thought was funny, the watch used to detonate the bomb had BBC on it.
I think it was shown on the saturday of the bomb.
Did anyone capture the Ad when it was broadcast?

it's downloadable from TV Home, clcik BBC News

Someone must have been listening to me - they showed the ad (the berlin wall one) last night and the aspect ratio has been sorted. but, there is still that one about Ancient Apocolaluyse or however you spell it - the words are half of the screen again. perhaps i should start saving for a WS TV.....
