Telegraph have picked up on the story about the BBC advert:

But check out the comments from a "BBC blog".

Curiously looks a lot like mine and inxces4308's comments from this page. Looks like you never know who is visiting

yeah & me

"What I can't understand is why make it and then not show it," said one listener on a BBC blog.

why make it & not show it, that's more of a waste of money as it has already been spent & who cares if it looks expensive ? .

the fact is that the money has already been spent, so just give the daily fail the finger & show the advert !

[alfie]

yeah & me

Don't think so -- looks more like this post as it reads exactly the same

What I can't understand is why make it and then not show it. Am I right in thinking the money was spent anyway? Is this the advert that features Muse?

This is silly as if the advert never gets shown then it will be money and time down the drain.

Well done Unofficial Mills.

Telegraph big-wigs like unofficial mills. I bet they are secretly registered!! Spuds

We've already been mentioned in The Guardian this year. Where next? The Daily Sport? Financial Times?

[KingTutsWWH]

Don't wish to diss UM, but that''s a pretty tenuous link there. I reckon people have been making rather similar comments on any number or forums.

PS. The Guardian mention made me feel particularly proud of us lot though.

[Nik B.]

It is pretty word for word Nati...

Lies. It wouldn't be an official "BBC blog" and they mention Radio 1 fans and the only other source for that would be somewhere like Digital Spy. It's too word perfect to have been a major coincidence.

[KingTutsWWH]

OK. I'll go back and have another look.

Spoil sport

[Guest inxces4308]

Ha, so our comments got published? Not bad....

Can we sue and make some money?

[kitty]

The Guardian and now the Telegraph- good job guys

UM are making it into the respectable press, next stop The Times...

[JonathanEx]

"The advert is estimated to have cost up to £700,000 – for facilities, crew, animal hire, costumes, special effects and production time – according to advertising sources. The BBC disputed this, claiming the cost was less than half of that figure."

Then why are you, and everywhere else, still reporting it as £700k, and some places bumped it up to £1m!

[The Stig]

I really want to see this bley advert now. Shame, this is what the BBC has been reduced to by the likes of the idiotic Daily Mail. Madness.
