Car adverts seem to be so noisy and stupid

That's probably the noise from the engine mate, they tend to be noisy when revved.;)

And more often than not, they're not filmed in the UK.

Yes - car adverts with LHD vehicles are annoying. On the other hand:

The music for the linked ad is exceptionally good. Where do they find these obscure singles?

Mrs G would agree with you. She's disgusted by what she feels is the way he has really misled his (soon to be ex??) wife.

Maybe ITV can fill the intermission with re-runs of the old public information films. I always liked the one with the grim reaper and the kids trying fish the football out of the pond....

I don’t know how they would work it. Similar to how All4+ works it, I presume.

Generally we record channels with ads, but sometimes there is no choice.

I was that annoyed by the Deliveroo one with the northern accent woman handing out food from a range of take aways that I complained to OFCOM that it wasn't representative of a delivery.

They upheld it too.

Anything with Meerkats.
