Ah - Peter Wyngarde - he was, briefly, a member of York Repertory Company (c.1949/50) - and occasionally acted as baby-sitter for my brother and I. Mother was theatre mad - half York Rep ended up in our house at various times.
That's it Peter Wyngarde. He was quite famous back in the day. Did he ever read you a story Tabs?
I've often noticed there's a break for advertisements after only the first six or seven minutes of a programme. Now there are many more advertisements in each break too. Also if 'channel hopping' the advertisement breaks seem to be timed to coincide with other channels. The cynic in me seems to be saying that's deliberate, to make 'channel hopping' hardly worthwhile.
That must be to do with these new-fangled televisions, 4G is it? They are like computers so must be programmable. Perhaps that's what that's about, they've used those 'settings' to ensure you see even more advertisements!
I used to quite like him until he went all cry baby on us, although he seemed to get over that very quick.
Didn't he cry on TV when he came out as gay and everyone already knew for years, including his family? bet there's a few like that....Matthew Kelly for one. Not that its anybody's business, but c'mon...everything is accepted these days, nobody bats an eyelid.
Celebs, like Footballers, Pogba, Ronaldo, removing the bottles ,from the dais, knowing full well, that the advert is "doubly noticed" when they do that!
It's an interesting point. I think it might be even more technical than that, since no matter what time I turn my tv on, it always coincides with ads.
Ad. breaks should be of an exactly specified length. Then you could be assured of having an appropriate time in which to go and make a cup of tea (etc.).
Of course, if they could, they'd force you in some way to sit and watch all of their adverts.
