I agree with you garinda, if the BBC is funded from public funds then there should be no commercial advertising at all. But if that happened there would be no sport on TV, films and outside broadcasts would have to be vetted to ensure that no corporate logo appears. East Enders and other soaps and sitcoms could not be broadcast because they are full of advertising in the background. The simple truth is that advertising is all around us whether we like it or not but at least on the BBC the programmes are not broken up with ads for whiter than white washing powder or whatever and that makes the BBC unique. I don’t see anything wrong in the BBC advertising its future programmes between programmes though.

Retiring backwards as ordered and also showing you that I can still use a longbow with either hand.
