They sometimes have commercials in between shows but never during.  And IIRC those ads are just promos for what’s coming soon on BBC

The BBC is funded by citizens with a special tax that anyone who owns a TV has to pay.  Because it’s citizen funded they do not rely on commercials to cover costs.  

*Things may have changed since I was last there since they have had a run of conservative governments which are not a fan of the BBC being publicly funded.
