I've gone all soppy

I clicked the link but was told to “sign in” before watching it, presumably to make me swear on the Bible that I possess a TV licence, which I don’t.

The link was blocked for me as I'm outsode the UK but I found it on Youtube. It brought tears to my eyes even though I had the sound turned off. Will now look for the polar bear. I'm happy to be called soppy.

Ooh, thanks, Mollie10. I love it!

There you go blinko:

Must admit I do like the beeb advert. I haven't seen the Dancing on Ice ad yet. What am I missing?? Is it an itv thing?

Christalbee "Think it's a bit stupid. Where's the Mum. Didn't move me at all."

Not all single parent families are mums with children. And not all families have a mum.

I thought it was a lovely advert, but the Dancing on Ice is totally my favourite.

I think all the big stores' adverts are a poor show this year. Of all the supermarkets, I do like Aldi with their Kevin and Katie carrots (and their offspring are arriving in stores next week, I hear)

Haha kitty that made me laugh out loud ( the head on back to front)
My DGS will be a shepherd, so no chance of falling heads, although the teatowel may come loose, or he may drop the toy lamb.

I too love the polar bear ad. Just to hear Andy Williams rendering of The Impossible Dream.
Living alone, when ever I hear that version, I can have a good old cry my eyes out session as it brings back such wonderful memories of my younger days that I would not for one instance have changed.

Not enough room for us at any of the Christmas Nativities. Just have to make do with photos and videos.

Youngest DGS was first camel and had to do lots of head shaking (cos camels do!). His head fell off twice and second time he put it on back to front (I've told this tale in the kitchen - sorry) which confused the other 5 year olds no end!!

I know I will.

How will you cope with the smaller DGC and the nativity play kitty take tissues!

Maybe it's me, but I couldn't see anything Christmassy in that BBC ad at all.

Think it's a bit stupid. Where's the Mum. Didn't move me at all. We're not lovers of any of the adds to be honest and usually go out of the room when they're on.

I don't watch ads. Record all programmes I wish to watch, then a bit of deft fast forwarding and I arrive at my chosen viewing.

Aw just watched that - it is lovely.

shysal thank you so much for posting this link. I hadn't seen it but it is sooo lovely!

I love the Boots ad with the 2 sisters.

I think the BBC ad is brilliant. Don't tire of watching it.

But where is the mum? Didn't move me much I'm afraid. I like the polar bears for (is it?) Dancing on Ice.

love the Daddydaycare element of the BBC ad.

Yes that was lovely, especially for the girl to realise that her dad was actually taking notice of her all the time when she felt so ignored. It brought tears to my eyes too.

I agree the BBC and ITV dancing on ice ads are the best to come out this Christmas.

Really disapointed in the shop Christmas ads this year. I really don't know what John Lewis were thinking about sanctioning a monster with a scrotum nose. It makes me laugh every time I see it now.

I love that BBC ad as well Kittyl, none of the big store ads are a patch on it. Mind I love that Symphony song anyway, my little grand daughter used to sing it word for word. Love Ed Sheeran, not so fond of Beyonce. So I know how you feel.

I had to register to watch it, then realised I`d seen it on TV last night!

Not seen any Christmas ads., not surprising as I don’t watch ITV. Love the BBC film trailer thingy, a modern take on Christmas Spirit.
