OK, this shows how much of a TV addict I am but right now two of my favourite adverts are the b/w Lexus ad with those fantastic dancers and the Freeserve ad with the cat and the budgie! Very different but they are my current favourites...how about you?

We hate the Specsavers shepherd advert because Millie, our senior JR, hurls herself at the telly as soon as the wailing music starts. We're not sure if she's trying to bite the dog or the shepherd!

One of my aunts was asked to do a Daz advert many years ago. She was paid £30 and something like a tenner every time it was shown on ITV. She was meant to show the packet of Daz and wash her sheets then hang on the line to be filmed. Problem was that she didn't have any decent sheets, all old, grey and with holes. So she ran to a neighbour's and borrowed her sheets for the advert. No one knew except us, much later. We really did not know how she managed to get her sheets so white. I don't think that Daz would have touched them.

My favourite ones at the moment are Haribo and the one with the little girl and the cat. I agree that often I can't remember what some are advertising. Also, some leave me feeling 'what was that all about and how did it fit in with the product'.

We copied the diet coke break as a fundraiser at work. All the fit blokes took a turn in the glass lift and the girls and others paid into the washbucket to watch! Raised loads for charity in 20 mins or so!
Currently the Specsavers shepherd is my favourite
