(PRWEB) August 18, 2007 -- stv next week launches it's brand new on-air television advertising campaign for stv bingo, the broadcasters successful online bingo service. The quirky commercials feature one of the most famous double acts in entertainment, The Krankies dressed as giant bingo balls.
The adverts were produced by Glasgow based high-end commercial production business, Lucid. The team filmed six different executions (3 x 10 seconds and 3 x 30 seconds) during a one-day intensive shoot in Glasgow last week. The adverts will be broadcast on stv from Monday 20 August.
