I agree about 'The Chase' adverts. Even more annoying is the use of so-called 'celebrities' to endorse services and products. They make me less rather than more likely to buy anything from those companies.
I'm so pleased I've never seen any of these adverts. I watch all live programmes 15 minutes behind so I can fast forward all the adverts. I've fallen asleep too many times in the adverts in the past!!
Kustard, I do the same and I've had to do it for my oldsters, too. The afternoon adverts of seemingly never ending charities begging and cheap funerals were really getting them anxious.
Got to say, I love the Paddy power ad with the lad focused on his phone game, girlfriend asks as mother comes into room, "do you think I'll be like my mum when I'm older?" "Oh I hope so!" he replies, awkward and funny.
