Starts being broadcast tonight at 9pm.
Hope it’s better than last year’s. Racing through the streets of Liverpool was just ridiculous looking to me.

March 21, 2014 at 22:51 #472814What total crap, this is supposed to make more people watch the race?? More seriously its a forgettable advert, I wonder how much money they wasted on it
March 21, 2014 at 23:19 #472820I quite like it haha!
Also quite enjoyed last years as well. No point watching an advert with the intention of not enjoying it. Some people will just rag on everything C4 related until the National is back on the BBC. Which is a shame, really.March 21, 2014 at 23:21 #472822Pointless, further attempt to drag the casual fan in. Daft.
March 21, 2014 at 23:54 #472825Reminds me of Derek Tommo Thompson trying to explain how steeplechases started on the old C4 Racing, but at least he made me laugh, this is just pointless
March 22, 2014 at 01:28 #472837Looks like an idea from the same person who came up with the psychic pig.
March 22, 2014 at 07:09 #472843Very annoying music. Not quite The Flashing Blade is it?
March 22, 2014 at 09:13 #472847The few milliseconds of ‘spire’ to ‘steeple’ footage (inchage?) were actually quite good and simply expanded alone would have made a nice advert
Unfortunately the overall impression is just the wearily familiar ‘in your face’ ‘extreme’ macho nonsense that broadcasters seem to think must accompany the build up to sporting events these days
Does the ridiculously caricatured Paddy really say ‘focken’ or do my jaded ears deceive me?
Ooh, how tough and clever
March 22, 2014 at 09:14 #472848Very annoying music. Not quite The Flashing Blade is it?
Nope. It’s a New York "punk" band called Cerebral Ballzy. So named because;-
"According to the lead singer, Honor Titus, the name Cerebral Ballzy came from a friend who dropped a slice of pizza on a train track and picked it up. Honor said “That was ballsy” and his friend replied “Cerebral Ballsy!”

So who would win in a fight between Johnson and McCoy?

Couldn’t be bothered to listen again to find out. Shot themselves in the foot a little if they can only show it after 9.00.
March 22, 2014 at 12:36 #472887As a piece of television liked it, but would it make me think I have to watch the Grand National – probably not.
