I like the guardian article that wondered what the old man had done to be exiled to the moon. They guessed he was Hitler.

I dislike the advert. The message seems to be - why visit elderly relatives and include them in your christmas, when you can throw money at the from afar?

Not seen it, don't care. All John Lewis care about is profit, and all this business with hidden messages is just guff - this ad is to help them sell shizzle, nothing else.

Indeed...I loathe how this sanctimonious claptrap is only pumped out at Xmas time when there's a few extra bob to be made.

Thread resurrection!

The 2022 advert is out, and I quite like it.

It has all the usual building blocks with the classic song sung slow and the sentimental ending. But this is one of the better ones in recent years.

That was quite good. I happened to read somewhere earlier that they had toned things down due to the current economic climate, so quite tastefully done. Well done John Lewis.

I would expect Chris Boardman to be a little bit better on wheels than that. Maybe it was the standing up part that got him confused. Still, full marks for trying.
