Some
of my
Favourite UK Television Adverts By Andy Savage. THE website to download and watch high quality UK TV adverts for free. On average over 4,000 adverts are downloaded from this site every day, It would appear that people love the same adverts that I do! |
I
live in Derby (Carlton
Central TV region), which is in the centre of England, so the
adverts I see may be different to the ones in other parts of the UK.
Please visit my other website www.derbyphotos.co.uk for lots of photographs of Derby and derbyshire.
