John Lewis Christmas advert.

I loved it! Good song and imagery. However, I'm so intent on watching the video that I forget they are advertising their Christmas food and drink products!!

That video is showing an old one! Try again.

Well I really liked it but it doesn’t make me want to buy anything from them.

I gave up before it finished, didn’t do anything for me and seemed to go on for ever. I think JL have lost the plot but perhaps I’m a grumpy old bag. Bring back the snowman and snow lady with the stick arms. Hope Aldi have their little carrot again this year. Used to love the M&S ones with Shirley Bassey, real extravaganzas. Does anyone remember the simple ones from the 50s/60s, Tom Thumb cigars and ‘tick-a-tick Timex’?

Same for me tanith.

Loved it.. And to me JL is my mother ship ( I know)
Anyone see the Sports Direct advert? The most expensive one ever made for Christmas.

Don't know how they do it but every year JL have this advert spot cracked. At first people start by knocking it and then they grow to love it. I've seen this time and time again.

Loved it ?

Well I have never seen an advert, disliked it then decided to love it, Kim19! .

I think this ad is one of their worst offerings. I don't like it at all. I prefer the banned Home Insurance one.

As for it being a tear jerker? What is it about the ad that makes one's tears jerk?

Not impressed, their xmas ads are much the same with different characters. The money spent on these ads could be put to better use!

In a word "boring". No animals!

Fed up with all the ‘tear jerking’ stuff these days. I wasn’t even clear what it was advertising only that previous posters had mentioned food.

I don’t like it. I fell in love with Edgar 2019

The cost was £8 million. Lots of John Lewis ex employees who were made redundant aren’t happy.

Sorry those who don’t, I love it ??

I've always found John Lewis too expensive. They closed their 'flagship' store here in Birmingham. It wasn't there for long.

£8 million how on earth could it have cost £8 million?

visgirl I have never eard it called that effort but it is also my mother's hip. Actually, there aren't many options nowadays.

I quite liked the ad though!

Did it cost £8 million? Good grief, what a waste of money.

The beginning of November for Christmas adverts is far too early! I’m not going to watch it for a couple of weeks at least. I had an email from m and s with theirs attached too but I’m afraid I deleted that.

If I were one of those former employees on the scrap heap I'd be livid. What a waste.

ET phone home …Nonsense really …. I never can understand all the money spend on a single advert when half the world is starving I m sure they have never made me go out to buy anything and I don’t think I ve ever set foot in a John Lewis store so won’t rush off to start because of that ad
Not impressed

Have you seen the M&S Christmas ad? Dawn French as the fairy and Percy Pig. Nothing too controversial.
