  1. It might just be my sick sense of humour, but I loved that ad – especially the demise of the musician (not to spoil it). Well done ABC – very creative 🙂

  2. They say good comedy is all about the timing, if this is true, could ” Fresh Blood” aiming to open the door to ” Young Bloods” be doomed before it starts?

    Thanks to Catalyst’s latest 2 episodes all about ” Blood ” and the turmoil staring up about and around these topics and which is best ” Old or Fresh Blood Ideas”
