The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

This is a question i have always wanted to know, i look on tv and i see Neil Morrisey, Leslie Ash, Richard E Grant, Julia Sawala(spelling?), that Scotch fellar from Gregorys girl, Prunella Scales, and Jane Horrocks all making the blandest adverts since that 90s ariston advert. These people should be ashamed of themselves or makig adverts so dull and unfunny. Prunella Scales was in arguably one of the funniest sitcoms ever as Sybil Fawlty so where did it all go wrong. Thierry Henrys Va-Va-Voom advert is a good advert so why do these actors keep bleesing the screen with sh*t commercials, i bet they have all got bad eyesight because every time i see one of thier dullard adverts i see £ signs in thier eyes.

the services was a seperate series i think.

the reason actors do ads is for money - i think they get repeat fees as well

it's funny that the big BIG named actors won't do ads here, but will do them in asia. i guess the money's better and exposure to home is less. kathrine zeta jones and the t-mobile adverts piss me off.
