Planets of the Apes …. Advert breaks

I have been inundated with adverts for the new Planet of the Apes film on TV and on the internet and I noted tonight that the first offering of this new franchise is on Channel 5.
Thing is I would like to watch it but I hate TV advert breaks that’s why I would rather pay for my TV licence, or BBC tax some people call it. How many people will sit through the offerings of this 5 minutes or so feeling the urge to buy the crap someone decides you must have. More than likely you get up make a cup of tea/coffee or something to eat or a trip to the toilet. I’d channel surf myself.
I am more likely to pick something up in the supermarket than lust after it during an ad break. I don't think I have ever bought everything because I saw it on TV. In fact, I am more likely not to watch the film like tonight I will find a film with no adverts breaks. If tonight's film was on the BBC I would be watching.
Off subject a bit the BBC don’t seem to show many big films like Planet of the Apes which is a shame has they are advert free.
