TV adverts: What if TV but too much?
<p>We are BACK from a little summer hiatus to explain the ins and outs of TV ads. Sit down, switch on and put on the kettle as we explore how the bloody hell TV works, how do we know who is watching? and - is TV DEAD? And remember.. if you happen to be on the BARB panel, keep it to yourselves! </p> <p>*Also Faye shamefully can't read a clock anymore, as happy time is ten past TEN, not two. </p>
