The only problem is the frequent adverts, usually for depressing things like walk-in baths, and stairlifts, which bring you back down to earth, when you are trying to escape in a film.
A TV station with adverts - oh the shock.
I don't mind ad breaks it gives me time to fill up the coffee cup. However the only time I watch TV is at someon'e else's house to watch the campy Hammer or Amicus horrors. I did enjoy a nice Roy Rogers film the other week on Talking Pictures. He was my idol when I was a young kid.
Go try watch USA TV where it's swamped more in commericals. Mainly medicare endorsed by former A listers like Tom Selleck and Joe Namath or those donations adverts from St Jude children's charity with done with Shriners.
