ITV COMMERCIALS SIR,—Last week Mr. Mayhew wrote that the ITN

bulletin on the night of the Gatwick air disaster 'was interrupted to show a Lux commercial.'

Mr. Mayhew was wrong. Advertisements are never inserted in ITN bulletins. If he meant that the bulletin was cut short at the end for a commercial, he was equally wrong. On this night, as on every other night, our bulletin ran its full allotted time.—Yours faith- fully, Television House, Kingsway, WC2
