Love it or hate it? BBC Masters ad

[Tiger]

For the purists out there I doubt there will be much love for the new BBC Masters advert but I kinda like it. What do you think? Does golf and Star Wars really mix well?

Further proof that the BBC have lost it and that Sky do it so much better.

(And this is coming from a HUGE Star Wars fan).

a bit pathetic really, is it advertising golf or starwars. I wonder if they start selling light sabers down at AG.

Not seen that before and I like it

I do quite like it, but have to admit to thinking that Sky now have BBC-style promos and vice versa.

Over the past 5 years or so, Sky have got more slick and opt for a "wonderful memories; remember them" schtick whereas Auntie has gone for more stylised "look at this clever link of two concepts" approach (akin to Sky some 5-8 years ago.

Creative standards at the Beeb are slipping!

Loved it the first time I saw it on the big screen last night.
and at least they have left it until the week before, not for 6 weeks previous like sky

could be a great swing thought

I hate it

to me it says golf isn't exicting enough you have to use CGI to liven it up

I liked it. It grabbed my attention...for good reasons

I like it too, bit of fun and works quite well.
I think it is just a metaphor for a good battle ahead.

I'm in the like it camp.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I like it but that will be as good as the BBC coverage gets I'm afraid.

It looks even better in HD, great advert.

Glad my TV licence fee is getting me something other than Top Gear.

Quite fun but looks a bit silly.

Any chance of a duel between A.Kim and IJP? IJP playing Darth Vader and Kim playing (with) himself and getting sliced into pieces...?

First time i've seen it and think it's great - though the novelty may wear off pretty quick?

At first it looked good, but when tiger came in with the force, it just looked cheesy!

First time I've seen it and I liked it, I'm sure they could've factored in Mr T somewhere, but I suppose you can't have everything
