British Television Advertising Awards
It’s the Super Bowl for hawkers on the small screen
Not all commercials are created equal. You can see what we mean at today’s British Television Advertising Awards.The show is like Super Bowl Sunday for British commercials. These spots transfix viewers instead of sending them packing to the kitchen for snacks or channel surfing for something better.
