    It’s so simple and so beautiful that advert, it makes me cry when I watch it, big sop that I am


    A simple ad I like this year is: Guardian Bikes.

    Maybe with a warmer photography (and at least a hint of Santa !) it would have gone viral like the Hafod !

    M&S: should come with a warning as it will make you hungry - no matter how much and what you might have eaten before !
    The gold leaf gin reminded me of the Godwasser I once bought in Gdansk!

    I only seen the full ALDI ad yesterday and damn it I actually like it. Kevin the carrot is back in the game.

    The LIDL ad is so much better than last year. Remember those annoying elves last year.

    Yeah last years LIDL ad was poor. Especially following thr fantastic one they had previously with the family doing up the old family home and surprising the old lad. That was such a great advert.

    In Aldi's new Christmas ad, there's a different person playing Santa in different countries. Great Britain has Jim Broadbent, and as you can see here, Ireland has Colm Meaney.

    Yeah nothing wrong with that Morrisons Ad... deffo looks great.


    Love the part at the beginning, "Now a lookback at 2020..." "Nah" switches off the radio. I think that's how we all feel about 2020.

    I think certain ads are the victim of previous years success. If an ad really catches the public's imagination and is very popular, it can be hard to follow that the next year.

    Also, some ads are just not very good!

    Don't think I have seen anything so far that I think will end up with the Guinness, Coke or Budweiser classics. Early days I guess.

    So just saw another Kevin the carrot ad. Rides a hedgehog, Santa ‘ETs’ home.

    How does this fit in with the Top Gun one??

    Not a massive fan so maybe it’s obvious to more dedicated followers.
