I watched it, thanks shysal, and it is more like a trailer for a horror film than a Christmas ad. Dreadful choice by someone.

I think these expensive Christmas ads seem to have had their day. They seem to have run out of new ideas but lets wait until the John Lewis one has been released. They are usually the best of the bunch.

Just watched it, what rubbish! I hate the ads where people spout and shout!

I googled it too.
I found it completely disengaging...

I haven’t seen it yet but the Asda one is awful too.

I haven't seen a good Xmas ad this year at all. They're all more rubbishy than usual. Perhaps the big stores will bring out their best ones nearer the time.

I rarely watch 'live' TV, so the Ad would have probably passed me by.
However being quite nosy, I have checked it online and agree Nankate awful!

Shouting does not draw me in, quite the opposite .
Not very ?☃️?.

Totally agree nankate, it didn't appeal to me at all. I also had a preview and stopped it half way through.

Just been given an advanced viewing of the Boots Christmas advertisement. IMO it is absolutely awful just a mish mash of scenes. It doesn’t feel Christmassy at all it’s just about consumerism. I realise they are trying to sell their products but for me I would give it 0 out of 10. I wonder what others may think when it is released tomorrow.

Not a robin in sight ?
