Fans of a particular US TV series that celebrates the glory era of Madison Avenue advertising have plenty to sink their teeth into this week. And we’re not just talking about the next set of episodes that start airing in the UK tomorrow evening.
Tuesday March 27th sees the arrival of Season Five in the saga that is Madmen, via Sky Atlantic. Of course viewers in the U.S. have already seen the drama begin to unfold (last night), meaning those that want a sneak preview of what happens need only click here for The Guardian’s review of the opening hour.
Aside from this fans can also enjoy an Advergame created to celebrate the fifth coming. You play the part of Don Draper, and must perform a series of tasks, and the order in which they are achieved leads to different endings, with plenty of humour along the way. Digital media at its most fun, and just the thing for a Monday afternoon. Now, where was that bourbon?
