I like Joe wicks, but he would make healthy alternatives, not a pie or be buying naice cheese!

Loved it! I really like both Keira and Joe so it was a win from the off for me 😊

I thought it was adorable. Mainly checked it out to see which James song was featured, after reading this thread 😃

I love it! I saw it on TV earlier and wasn't paying much attention and think it had a different ending to the one I just watched on YouTube? But it's cute and lovely and wholesome and has Joe Wilkinson in it so I'm happy.

Just watched it so I can reply op and I loved it.
Nice to see an advert that’s not about people suffering cancer/heart problems/ dementia or children starving or animals dying.
Yes I know those things are happening in the world but it’s nice to forget sometimes.

The best happy ad was the one made by our local hardware shop in 2019. I don't know how to do a link, but Google YouTube Hafod Hardware Christmas ad 2019. Completely charming!

I seen it earlier tonight and loved it, it's my favourite one of this year light and fluffy with Christmas magic. So disappointed in Kevin this year he's went really tacky in the rip off hangover. And if I have to see M&S boring Dawn French one more time....

I saw it this morning. My favourite this year, total cheese fest and made me smile!

So much better than the JL one and the endless character ones - BFG, The Grinch etc.

Ohhh I hate that BFG one.

I was terrified of that weird giant as a child and I still feel the traces of fear as an adult.

I think it’s the ears and the weird made up words.

He’s not a patch on ET though, that thing has got no less terrifying with age 😂.

It’s a nice gentle ribbing around Richard Curtis films ! I do like how his friends are astonished she’d even look at him twice! lol

I loved it. Better than JL and the Tesco one which was rubbish

Saw it last night, don't know who Joe Wilkinson is but have always liked Keira Knightley. Is it going to be a series, like the old Gold Blend ads? I dunno, I just got that impression.

Can't understand people thinking the JL one is sinister? I thought that was lovely. Maybe because I have a teenager son and also I vividly remember being that age and feeling totally unable to express my feelings. So I thought it was lovely seeing a moment of connection, love and recognition between a teenager and parent.
