    You can fast fwd the ads on ITV X
    Are you sure about that? I think if you are not paying a subscription, it will not let you ffwd through the ads as far as I know.
    Which is why I try and record any ITV programmes I might want to watch later, so I can ffwd the ads.

    Does anyone else hate the Haribo ads. where the adults have children's voices? They seem a bit creepy to me.
    Also the ads set in toilets, especially when I am eating.
    The Haribo ads are deeply weird !

    +1 to this.
    You can't fast forward through the ads on ITVX unless you pay for the service.

    I find ITVX almost unwatchable for the adverts; if I do watch something on there I simply mute the sound whilst they're on.

    The Argos female Chucky doll creeps me out.

    I don't watch enough TV to ever pay extra (over the licence) for it.  I record everything.  Advert 1 toilet, advert 2 kettle, adverts 3 onwards fast forwards.  Just to add to the advert irritations.  Why do they think we are more likely to buy something if the person in the advert has an American accent?

    Not an advert as such in the traditional sense but that - Influential, with me Katty Kay' drives me crazy. How patronising can a person sound.

    How has nobody mentioned the Omaze ad's for the million pound house, fancy car and a bunch of money, now those really grate me, especially when they get a celeb to try and endorse it on behalf of a charity.

    And those "rare limited edition" coin ads with Michael Buerk, wonder how many people get pulled into these?

    The regular presenter's voice and fake smile (grimace ?) grate me.

    I wonder what  Michael Buerk is doing promoting these sham collectors coins. Surely he does not need the money.
    Same with Ian Botham with those cringeworthy foot massager ads.
