They were right to ban it. My dad shat himself when he saw it

[dizzib]

I'm glad to see the bbc license fee is being well spent, lol!

[UndeadTurk]

I really don't see anything wrong with this. Why ban it?

It just looks like a stupid CG gimmick.

[Tony301]

WTF BBC. Really.....WTF.

[ThePacmanClassic]

Most of the banned commercials I've see aren't all that bad really, but with this one right here.....

I'M REAL GOD DAMN GLAD THEY BANNED THIS!

@paulsmartialarts Is your dad trypophobic?

[emilie1031]

Ugh! This is definitely not for trypophobes!  Worse than the Sanex commercials!

[lykanbluepaws]

It is very creepy like something out of the doom games
