I'd like to see advertising limited to 10 mins at most per hour with a minimum period of programme between ad breaks and a max duration of any ad break.

The fact that the US advertise differently makes no difference to US shows shown in the UK as both countries use a 1 hour programme grid. A US '1 hour' show runs for typically 42 minutes. The remaining 18 minutes are filled with adds and show promos, in either the US or UK.
I guess a UK add funded main channel shows run for typically 48 to 50 minutes?
