I looked at the website of the production company that makes MMP, they also made such quality shows as 'The Man With Ten Stone Testicles', 'Jamie: Drag Queen At 16', 'Secrets Of The Living Dolls' ( about sex dolls ), 'The Brit Who Tried To Kill Trump' & 'Big Fat Gypsy Weddings'.

What absolute delights of British Television.... I'll see if they are releasing any box sets.....
With 'The Man with Ten Stone Testicles' - haven't Viz been covering this for many years?? Isn't his name Buster or something??

Have we had a moan about funeral commercials on here before? I think it has been mentioned. These adverts don't just annoy me, they make me angry. They seem to come on every day, every break. There must be quite a few people having to watch these ads suffering from terminal illnesses. Do they have to be reminded about funeral costs every commercial break?
I know all actors want work, but I don't know how some of them can partake in these ads Comedian Ken Dodd used to joke about them, but I think they've gone beyond a joke now. Or is it just an idiosyncracy of mine ? At least they're not advertising coffins yet.
Charles.

I agree Charles, these tv ads for insurance & funerals, etc. are shown in the afternoons clearly to exploit the fears of an elderly audience. People generally watch tv to escape reality, not to be reminded of it.
Another person I can't stomach is Bear Grylls.

Oi AP, less of the elderly! Some of us are approaching the big six oh! PS If you call a her an him that's not a crime, especially if the her was born with meat and two veg. Stabbing someone is a crime. Riding on the back of your mates moped and stealing someone's phone is crime. Being Piers Morgan is at least suspicious behaviour.

That Claudia Winkleman (Or "Winklewitch" as my youngest son calls her) advert is just enough to make me want to throw the TV out of the window.
The funeral adverts are a pain in the backside, as are the accompanying "Ambulance Chaser Blaim & Claim" ads, and the PPI bullsh*t.
Mind you - you DO get a free pen though...

That Claudia Winkleman advert is pure AdTurd that one. As if the little liar 'only' washes her hair (sic) in Head and Shoulders FFS. A very good reason not to watch 'Strictly' (why is that popular?) or anything else she's on!
As for those 'life' insurance ads that Sun Life one is pure Stepford Industries territory too.
