Watching Ant and Dec doc on Ch5 and for some of the breaks it hasn't even gone too an ad break it's gone straight back into the program not even channel show trailers like I've seen ITV do when no actual ads too show. Are things that bad at ch5?

If there showing a Ant and Dec doc then that as bad as it gets.:p:p
/turns it off and back on again!
Possibly as it happened with 2 ad breaks but noticed later on after one the ads just started in some random place in the doc
It's like that at work: if we had double the amount of people we need to run the place tomorrow we would still be criminally understaffed. At the moment they just think that everyone will do three jobs at once and don't care if you can't.
I liked how Channel 5 scheduled Kitten's Got Talent, and The Ant & Dec Story the day after the Britain's Got Talent semi finals finished. I wonder how many people switched to Channel 5 by accident looking for BGT.
Channel 5 playout is monitored 24/7, so whatever happened was probably deliberate. It may be that the ads were inserted at other times, rather than the original break points within the programme. it'll be on C5+24 tonight if anyone wants to see what happened.
No not all last night haha. Just 2 ad breaks. For one ad break it came randomly in middle of show while explaining something
Watched A&D doc on +24 tonight (due to clashes last night with shows including HIGNFY) and can confirm it again followed an odd break pattern, some breaks coming in at the flagged-up break points and others not, it was quite jarring at times to be in the middle of a segment then suddenly jump to ads (and almost as odd to get a 'coming up' sequence then carry straight on with the show, though we've all surely seen that before...)
