The Rise of Commercial TV
Show Notes

Starting with the first TV ad ever broadcast in the UK, we continue our look at the rise of commercial TV in the UK. We see how the medium evolved from its uninspiring beginnings, when directors and writers started focusing on producing ads that were just as good as the TV shows themselves. Contributions from Sir Alan Parker, Brian Palmer, and Jeremy Bullmore.
