I keep forgetting that a lot of BBC stuff is commercial now, but this is an ad

Yeah, scanned about 75% of the article for anything interesting before I came to the same conclusion.

It spends half the time complaining, so I don't think it's an ad (never mind that commercial doesn't mean advertorials). It's more like they saw the anniversary coming up and came up with an angle they felt they could be interesting about.
