tubular_trekkie Group: Members Posts: 366 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: April 08 2012, 08:13 I actually emailed news@tubular.net about the Virgin Money ad about 2 months ago... Thought perhaps nobody had seen it on here apart from me! The new David Tennant ad is great as well but has apparently fallen foul of the BBC. It would seem they are up in arms about the Doctor Who references - claiming that Virgin hasn't sought permission to use their images. I hope it doesn't get pulled as a result - it's a really fun advert   -------------- "The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future." - from 'Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib' by the Princess Irulan Back to top

Cavalier (Lost Version) Group: Members Posts: 598 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: April 21 2012, 09:24 As tubular-trekkie intimated, the Beeb threw a bit of a wobbly and the ad has been cancelled and removed.  If only there was a way for people to access a channel where they and others could upload or watch videos in a just-about legal fashion...  Put another way, if only I hadn't chosen to go with the official Virgin version.   I can't imagine that anyone here would dream of annoying the BBC and trying to find the means to watch the original advert.  Nothing stopping us going behind the scenes, though! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqVYRMk2KfI -------------- "Who was that?"
