What is the most annoying television advert?

MY CANDIDATES for the worst TV adverts (Letters) are the dreadful Heycar, Cinch, Beagle Street and Gala Bingo. Only GWR, Lloyds Bank, NFU Mutual and Kia Niro have come up with clever and enjoyable ads.

A. J. SMITH, Exeter, Devon.

HOW about the Halifax and lloyds Bank commercials, which are shown ad nauseam? In view of the general lack of public affection for financial institutions, wouldn’t they be better keeping a low profile?

A. PETTIGREW, Haslingden, Lancs.

I CRINGE at the Cinch ad when Rylan Clark-Neal teases a new father of twins about having the snip. Excruciating and tasteless!

B. SPRAY, Romford, East London.

I WILL not buy goods advertised on TV by greedy celebrities.

SUE ROWLEY, Barnsley, S. Yorks.

IF ONLY we could return to the TV advertising of yesteryear. Leonard Rossiter spilling Cinzano over Joan Collins was comedy gold.

DAVID ATKINSON, Chorley, Lancs.

SURELY the most dire advert is numan rambling on about erectile dysfunction.

GERRY HUGGETT, address supplied.

HALF of TV adverts seem to be aimed at juvenile delinquents while the other half are incomprehensible due to advertising agencies showing off their fancy new software. At least the advert breaks are long enough to allow you to leave the room and do something useful.

G. LUDLAM, South Wingfield, Derbys. THE ones I most dislike are the inane insurance and funeral ads with unconvincing actors. then there is the idea that celebrities, such as ant and dec, will make me part with my money. and what about the noisy nonsense that leaves you thinking: ‘What was that all about?’

CHRIS SHARP, Leeds.

WHO came up with the brilliant idea of interrupting the endless trailers and advert breaks with actual programmes? That’s gone down a treat!

Mrs D. DAVIES, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
