i really like the current Audi ad featuring Windmills of Your Mind sung by Dusty Springfield. It's not likely to make me buy an Audi but it might prompt me to buy a Dusty album with that track on.

If it can be counted as an ad. I do like the BBC's "Superhumans" ad. for the paraolympics. It's inspiring and just shows you what the disabled are actually able to achieve. I would never have believed that a one legged person would attempt a high jump.

That is an amazing advert! It's on Channel Four though as they have the Paralympic coverage. But yeah, it is really inspiring to see what disabled can do. The dancers, the guy playing piano, all inspiring. I've always thought you should never tell people they can't do something. You should give them the opportunity to find out if they can |

Our wheelchair winners at Wimbledon this year were a great example of that.

What's nice about the Superhuman ad, though, is that it shows disabled people being able to do things other than sport. Quite often you only hear about disabled athletes but not dancers and musicians and parents and drivers and all kinds of abilities that they show in the ad.

I agree Miranda ... disabled people take part in all kinds of activities not just sporting events

The singer, keyboard player and French horn player from the Superhumans Paralympics ad were on the Last Leg on Friday.

Back to the current ads..... I really dislike the Noddle (?) "lifestyle" as. Basically it's for a credit rating agency and saying all these people have a great credit rating so have borrowed money to buy cars or go on adventure holidays. Get yourself in debt and have a great time. It talks about a "growing movement" of people. Utter nonsense and I think it's misleading. I'm surprised it got past the advertising authority.

I hate all betting, bingo and legalised loan shark ads. They should all be banned imo.

I used to like the ad where Harvey the dog was in a cage being inspected by potential rescuers and showed them on a TV screen Harvey mowing the lawn, ironing and doing all sorts of chores. Tag line was Every Home Needs a Harvey. The ad was for a producer of adverts, I think.

But where would that leave games of 20p bingo or cards/dominoes for pennies in old folks centres, raffles, tombola stalls as village fetes and so on? Excessive gambling a real issue but I don't see anything wrong with someone buying a raffle ticket for fundraising or similar.

I think they mean the ads, rather than the gambling.

Anymore to come?
