Letter of the Week

TV critic

TV commercials for corporate bookies have long been hard to stomach, what with all the beards, shouty voiceover blokes and Cockney buffoons who’ve never heard of the letter “t”.
I thought we’d hit rock bottom with the smug punter driving around between country mounting yards armed only with a Unibet app, a beard and a colossal sense of self-importance.
But with Tom Waterhouse’s new ad urging us to “dress better, play better, love better, punt better” we have surely reached Peak Pretentious.
At least I hope so.
