Channel 4’s Mad Ladies this week harked again to the times when “the advertisements have been extra fashionable than the programmes.” Undecided if this was ever really the case however the advertisements have been actually higher, even when Mad Ladies by no means actually acquired to the underside of it.
Additionally on C4’s More4 the earlier week was Astrid: Homicide in Paris, a Walter Presents quantity that knocks gritted enamel UK cop dramas like Line of Obligation right into a cocked hat. It’s clever, usually humorous, gritty when it must be. Astrid, who investigates crimes, is autistic. She’s extremely profitable.
However there have been so many advertisements crammed in it they appear to have prolonged the working time. It appeared as if the programme interrupted the countless advertisements.
And what shockers they have been. Being pressured to observe these continuous can be the equal of waterboarding. Is that this efficiency advertising and marketing in all its doubtful glory? And what crazed programmatic shopping for algorithm determined that Astrid viewers had a limitless urge for food for cleansing advertisements? These could have been from P&G and the like however they have been crap too.
A aid then to occur throughout The Or’s advert for shaving product Harrys, properly forged, first rate actors and nicely filmed. Not a rap to be heard or a sweaty footballer embodying “function” to be seen.
Astrid’s on once more tonight. Will or not it’s a pleasure or one other ordeal?
