Comments on: Are There Any Programs on SBS-TV That Are Not Interrupted For Commercial Breaks? http://saveoursbs.org/archives/62 supporters & friends of SBS Thu, 28 Apr 2011 02:12:23 +1000 hourly 1 By: TVwatcher http://saveoursbs.org/archives/62/comment-page-1#comment-10 TVwatcher Thu, 09 Aug 2007 01:10:59 +0000 http://saveoursbs.org/archives/62#comment-10 Hey. But look what time it was on. Midnight! So we have to wait until midnight to see a program with no ads on SBS. They probably couldn't find any sponsors anyway. If they can show one movie with no ads once, then SBS ought to do that all the time. Just like they used to. Hey. But look what time it was on. Midnight!

What makes the film unusual is that it was shot in one continuous take, quite an amazing feat considering the number of extras involved in many of the scenes! Having seen it at the cinema I was wondering how SBS would treat it with ads. Well, to SBS's credit they ran it without any breaks. If ever there was a program that lacked natural breaks, of course this was it. SBS did "bookend" the film with about 4 or five ads at each end. Although this film was treated with respect, unfortunately it seems that many others are not. Thanks for the site ...
