I think the reason this shouldn't be shown on tv is that it takes you right out of your comfort zone when maybe you don't want to be! If I watch a horror, I expect to be scared, and that may take away some excitement, but I'm ok with that.
I'm actually easily disturbed though, I won't sleep all night now.
I saw that on TV except the sound was changed... I think instead of that raw screechy sound in the vid it was just something like a sharp musical note
I'm not normally one for complaining about adverts but I don't think this is right. It made me jump and my heart race, so God knows what it will do to someone with a heart condition
yes but shockers like that are not exclusive to this advert, there are various other adverts which follow a similar line and also in almost all horror and thriller films there are shocks like this so you would have to take all of those films off the air, and remember some of them are very successful. If TV was doctored in this way then it would be a very boring thing as most succesful dramas and movies are successful and famous because they push boundries instead of sticking to the usual rules.
There's a less scary version of this which gets shown in the daytime (the alien face is different and it's a 'whoosh' sound rather than a scream at the end). Still a bit surprising this advert got shown though as it's probably a bit unsettling for some people.
jeffin hell i was just havin a nice relaxing evening and i was almost falling asleep on the sofa and then this advert came on and made me jump out my skin!
pahahhah right i was watching it at like 12 last night and i was leanin forwards to turn the tv off so my face was close to the tv and this is what i saw
i practically fell of the bed i jumped so much lol funny funny funny
I saw it about half an hour ago while dozing off. Now I've shat my daks and can't turn the lights off lest that old man's face appears in the dark corners of my room. Christ on a bike.
Sweet zombie jesus! I was up late last night watching BBC One. I was drifting off, in that delicate state between semi-conciousness and blissful slumber, when this advert came on.
Personally, I think its the fact that the face hangs there for about 2 seco nds longer than you feel it should that freaked me out - watching it again to de-sensitize myself!
This ruined last night for me :( i was hoping to watch MOTD then a question of sport but after seein this ad once i decided there was no way i was putting BC on a again that night so instead i watched Renford Rejects XD
this ad was on after that dark film drama heavenly creatures with kate winslet in it and yes the image of theat pc was gruesome and i crapped myself i couldnt beleive they would air sumthin slo fuckin scary lolo
I just saw this on the TV like 1 inute ago and thought heck I'll watch it again.. They wait so long for it to change and I was looking at his face like I'm not gonna be scared when it does changed and I just scared the shit outta myself.
holy shit i wanted to watch this becaus eit shit me up first time didnt watch it all thought no i wonder why :(

This scared me.
Radio 4 is traditionally a very conservative radio channel which I consider to be the best of the BBC.
This advert really does not fit with the ethos of Radio 4 i.e. scaring the shit out of their audience.
