Honda is to take over entire advertising breaks to show all its award winning adverts during the Christmas period.

The "Cog", the flying animated diesel adverts and "everyday" Civic will all be showcased to span the total ad break.

"For all those people who heard about our adverts but were just too busy to see them throughout the year this should be a treat," says Simon Thompson, Honda's head of marketing.

"People often say the best thing on TV is the adverts – well this Christmas they may well be right."

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, the Star Wars movie, football matches and The 100 Greatest TV Moments will all feature the Honda ads.
