I watched all the big stores' Christmas adverts last night. I do enjoy these "mini productions" (well the first few times). My favourite this year is Tesco but this may be because I like Rod Stewart! smile

No the one with the wonderful Ruth Jones. She's the mother with the rather dippy son. He attempts to chat up some female. It just makes me cringe. I think it's for the co-op but actually now you mention it I'm not sure. tchconfused Shows how inaffective advertising can be really.

I like the BBC ad, advertising themselves. The one with the sprout!

Am I the only one who is already sick of the BBCs Sprout Boy? Someone obviously thought it was a good idea. I wonder if they like sprouts?

Totally confused now (as per usual). I was trying to place all the adverts discussed and wondering how I'd managed to miss them all, when I (eventually) realised that someone has resurrected a thread from 2 years ago.... tchconfused

Morethan that one is for Tesco tchsmile. I dislike it too, as it seems to mock a 'special needs' teenager.

Someone should tell Sprout Boy that he`s only made welcome at the last house because they want to eat him! I love the one where the young man leaves all the shopping outside the old lady`s front door, Aaaaah!!

Don't like that poor old man sitting on the moon, very depressing, a present is of no use on your own. Like the Alice in Wonderland one and the boy getting the shopping fir the old man, wish he had spoken to him though.
