Woop. Mad Men finally makes it to the UK on Sunday March 2nd.
But that's not all. BBC4 are going ad mad with a series of three documentaries about advertising:
1) In Timeshift – The Rise And Fall Of The Ad Man, Peter York takes an insightful and witty look at the changing fortunes of British advertising with the story of the personalities who led it through its highs and lows
2) Selling The Sixties is a mesmerising blend of archive and contemporary footage exploring the post-War American golden age, when it seemed as if happiness could be bought and sold.
3) David Ogilvy – The First Mad Man is the story of advertising through a British-born genius, David Ogilvy, whose extremes and eccentricities are revealed by interviews with those who knew him and worked with him on his most famous campaigns.
