I hardly ever watch telly but these come to mind:
Sandy Richardson, Crossroads

(Played by Thora Hird, who was in a wheelchair).
Else Garnett, In Sickness and in Health
(Played by Dandy Nichols, who was in a wheelchair)
Robert T Ironside

Francesca Martinez, stand-up comedian with cerebral palsy. (The News Quiz, etc)

Now I come to think about it no, you don`t. Not all disabled persons are in wheelchairs and maybe the powers that be in advertising (who tend to be quite young) don`t have the wherewithal to explore all avenues as to how they can portray disabled people in advertising. They are not just adverse to disabled people though - the same goes for older people, people who are over a size 10 dress size etc.
