Channel 4 have broadcast an ambitious advert by Honda which shows a group of 19 professional skydivers spelling out the company's name live from the skies above Spain. The team had just three minutes and 20 seconds to execute the advert and managed to do it without a hitch.
The advert itself is pretty uneventful but it was the first live television advert to be broadcast in Britain. I was unaware that it was going to be broadcast so was little confused when it appeared.
The Guardian has more about the advert and Idents.tv has the advert in a variety of formats.

Autoblog is reporting that the car in the upcoming Knight Rider TV series is going to be a Shelby GT500KR.
K.I.T.T.'s trademark running red light bar has been relocated up and into two nostrils that sit atop the GT500KR's hood. It's a natural fit, though we have to question the silver stripes that, while a trademark of the GT500KR, are totally harshing on K.I.T.T.'s blacked-out super stealth persona.

Fox is developing a spin-off series of Prison Break, which would be set in a women's prison.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the series is tentatively titled 'Prison Break: Cherry Hill' and would focus on Molly, a character who will be introduced later in the new series of 'Prison Break'.
Molly is an upper-middle-class wife whose family is destroyed by The Company and who travels to the Panamanian prison where Michael (Wentworth Miller) and Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) are held in her quest for revenge.

'Cherry Hill' would find Molly serving life in a women's prison for her acts of vengeance.
She has accepted her fate until she discovers that some of her family may be alive.
If the new series doesn't get the green light, Molly will continue as a regular character on 'Prison Break'.

LocateTV is a new site that aims to help you search for your favourite TV shows and see when they are being broadcast. Rather than searching through a TV guide looking to see when your favourite shows may be on, you can use LocateTV to quickly view all channels that the programme is being broadcast on and information about each episode.
At present the site has TV listing for the UK (including regions), Ireland and the US (by ZIP code). It is currently in closed beta but they will be launching soon. If you would like to take a look at the site before it launches, let me know and I'll get an invite sent to you.
How cool is this advert for Cadbury's Dairy Milk? I saw it for the first time tonight and had no idea what the advert was about and was trying to work out if the gorilla was real or fake.
The 90 second advert is part of £6.2m campaign for Dairy Milk and was launched last Friday during the Big Brother 8 final. It was written and directed by Sony Bravia 'balls' creative director Juan Cabral of Fallon London.

An old McDonald’s commercial featuring the original Ronald McDonald. I'm not sure when the advert aired but it if this history of the McDonald's logo is correct then it wouldn't have aired before 1968.
