Title: Channel 40D

Do the people at Channel4 really think we sit there and watch 4 minutes of adverts on their website whilst trying to watch something? Hmmmm I've got the whole internet waiting to be explored in another browser tab, or shall I sit and watch the same shitty ads as on tv....  :facepalm:

It all depends on the adverts. If they resurrected that one for Bradford & Bingley with that lass in the bowler hat, I'd watch it all night.

Why don't you just download adblock, assuming you're using google chrome? No more mundane adverts.

Yup, had adblock for years.  I only found out 4OD had adverts when I watched it at a mates.  adblock's a brilliant tool.

I actually told a little porkie when I said I'd never heard of it; found out I had it installed in Chrome but it was disabled. When it's enabled it actually blocks the twitter feed on this site  :silly:
