(Mind you, it amazes me that Sky TV, for example, allows fast-forwarding through ads. With dexterous use of the Pause button, to obtain some time in hand, or by using catch-up or pre-recorded programs, one hardly ever has to watch or listen to ads.)

How's it going to know who is watching? Imagine a basic happy path scenario here:
The Mrs turns over to watch life on benefits and the first advert says 'Your Majesty...here's some lager from the colonies you might like' how on earth would the next one know to say 'Ma'am...here's some bog roll you might like'?
Similarly, if i'm watching embarrassing bodies with Harry, it'd need to know to say 'Your Royal Highness' first and then 'Sir' after.
Sounds like an illogical minefield to me.

AtW will see no more adverts for safas or radiator keys.
Maybe adverts for etiquette on Garden Parties?
