I've not seen a Star Wars ad, but yesterday while flicking channels I caught
ads on C5 for 8448 (around 2pm, during It's A Knockout - ahem) and Znap (later
on, 3pm-ish I guess, during their soap opera omnibus repeat).
I'm afraid I can't remember that many details of them - I saw the former
shortly after getting up (still recovering from Saturday night :-), and given
that the latter was for Znap, I can't say as I cared overly. The 8448 one
seemed to be based around a wind-tunnel theme, and I'm sure it said something
about building 3 models, which struck me as a bit odd as IIRC there are full
instructions for building 2 car variants, and part instructions for 3 or 4
others.
I'm contemplating setting the VCR to record a block of 3/4 hours of C5 drivel
around the same time next week, in the hope of catching them again.
BTW, going fairly off-topic, is it common knowledge that Brian Cant (one time
Playschool presenter, and I think he does some kids stuff on C5 currently)
is/was "live entertainment co-ordinator" at LLW? See
http://mudhole.spodnet.uk.com/fist/diary/diary2.html - but caution, there are
some rude-ish bits there too...
