the one that channel4 didn’t show

The UK’s Channel4 TV station has been airing a series of adverts – all of which are montages of clips from interviews with various people who star in shows that are aired on Channel4.

Still with me? Good.

I get the feeling that the interviews were all done to a standard script with a fixed set of questions; stuff like what’s your favourite food?, what’s your favourite way to relax?, and so forth.

One of the questions must also have been: what’s your favourite swear-word.

The resultant advert is in ShockWave (how apt) at [www.channel4.com] and is not for the fainthearted.

To the best of my knowledge, it’s never seen airtime.

    It will not be shown on terrestrial tv, or indeed in cinemas (where channel 4 wanted it to be shown) They are goign to show it on film 4 where the ‘audience are intelligent enough to appreciate it’

    Don’t know any date. The quote came from a radio4/radio5 program feature on the ad as the BFC had refused it a certificate to show it in cinemas. I’m guessing it will be on way after watershed and on randomly like the other adverts of the same ilk.
