Yup

My Sky+HD box crashed while on BBC HD so I had to switch to BBC1 on Freeview.

Near the end there was an extremely annoying US-style banner, with a cartoon Norton, advertising that stupid Dorothy thing on afterwards.

While watching Doctor Who (or any other programme), I do not wish to have my viewing interrupted or spoiled by the intrusive appearance of a large cartoon version of Graham Norton, especially near the end of an episode, when the tension is being ratcheted up.

It is bad enough when you interrupt the end credits of a programme to advertise the following programme, but to interrupt & intrude upon the actual programme itself is completely unacceptable.
