Old Boy, muppetman11 is correct, you can fast forward the adverts, unlike the All4 apps on various devices.

The thing with fast forwarding catch-up on-demand content on VM is there's only one speed and there's a bit of lag unlike recorded shows.

The good thing about VM's implementation of adverts in catch-up is that they don't put an unreasonable number of adverts in compared with individual commercial broadcaster's own apps, and if you need to skip later VM don't move the skipped ads later e.g. on other services you could skip 2 ad breaks and get 7 ads as soon as you get to the point you want to watch, VM doesn't do this.
