Then there are the ones publicising so-called comedy panel shows that give us a second of some pumped up celebrity dishing out his meaningless decontextualised punchline morsel obliterated of all sense by the din of its audience approval. We've long had these disconnected jigsaw pieces of course, but now they have come to take up more and more of the cultural space once peripheral to ones daily experience and therefore not worthy of note. But the ones that increasingly get to me are trailers that machine gun random sequences of micro-images from somebody's selection from totally unrelated programmes - real-life tragedies, comedies, celebrity back stories - in at the end of ad breaks, often to the point of de-coupling any scrambled voice-overs. -
Have just turned on 'Breakfast' with Elizabeth Alker.
Endless excitable gabble about 'The Last Night Of The Proms'.
I turned it off.

The worst of it is that the end of the Proms won't be the end of the Proms adverts - there will now be the blanket exhortations to "listen again".Comment

It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

Well, of course, that's understandable - Sainsbury's are already selling mince pies :(Comment
