I hope they edited it down. 4 mins isn't long, but this made its seem like half an hour.

I think I saw it last night on Channel Four as an advertising premiere, during Humans. It took the entire break.

Have you guys from overseas seen the Warburtons Giant Crumpet advert? Featuring the Muppets?

[WEDway82]

I'm on the fence with that one..

[cheapthrills]

No we don't see that commercial overseas because we don't eat crumpets. I don't even know where you'd buy them.

[WEDway82]

They're oh soo good.

According to Wikipedia, a similar North American product would be a griddle cake.

Here's the BBC's Christmas ident/promotional tag.

Almost that time of year again folks

Rumour has it the John Lewis advert will debut 9th November

[Thriller]

My dream artist for them to use would be BETSY doing a cover of Believe by Cher (Ella Henderson style).

Elbow cover a Beatles track for John Lewis this year.

Repping Boots these days, so there - best advert ever.

I am not impressed. It’s not Christmas at all. Really dropped the ball imo.

I love this version of Only You. But only since Kylie recorded it for her Christmas album, I feel a little Christmassy when hearing this song.

I wish Kylie had just done a solo version. I don’t mind James at all, but it felt unneeded.

Heathrow has a lovely ad again.

[Spartan]

This year’s adverts are all largely awful, especially Sainsbury’s.

Agreed. Nice to see the cola cola adver though

[SholasBoy]

I was gutted when I saw Sainsbury's, what an awful step back for them

They play it in store once an hour very loudly, I severely detest it.

In the words of Denise Royle, Christmas is not really a time for kids, is it?

[menime123]

ALMOST TIME FOLKS

Soon as Halloween is out the way, the countdown and adverts begin!

[Wayne]

Remains the best Christmas advert I have ever seen:



I can remember seeing this at the Sainsbury's conference ahead of it's premier and feeling genuinely moved by it.

[menime123]

I loved learning that story as a kid - nothing more powerful in that to teach us all that wars are political and no one wants to kill anyone.

It’s not really Christmas though until I see:
