It's done as a comedy. I could remember enough about it to see that it was partly fiction. It's on ITVX. There's about 20 minutes of adverts in each episode.

Ah, do the online versions of programmes tend to have more adverts than the broadcast versions? The broadcast version was the standard 47-48 minutes for a 1-hour slot, so about 12-13 minutes of adverts.
It's a great shame that there isn't a Get-ITV and Get-CH4, in the same way as Get-iPlayer (for BBC programmes) so you can download the programmes, edit out the adverts and watch a clean programme. But the advertisers would not be happy at that :-( When linear TV eventually ends, we are doomed to be faced with adverts that we have no way of skipping over - it will be like the days before video recorders :-( And no doubt crap players which pop up a huge static promotion/advert still image if you pause to examine the credits etc.

One of the great joys od Virgin360 is that you can tell it to forward 4/5 minutes if recorded. That usually works for the adverts (4 mins for most
and 5 minutes for the last one)

Maybe, maybe not.
The problem, though, is that you cannot whizz through the ads. They play
out in real time.

of slots as broadcast.

You can do something similar with most older recorders, and especially
with Sky+.

How do you do it?

You've snipped the context!
