Marks and Spencer Christmas Ad - No Dawn French

[fishingtime]

Think this has just been released this morning. I have no idea who James Norton is but it’s an alright watch!

Complete Thirst Tramp.

James Norton and his chiselled abs wandering about in towel, then wrapped in sexy jumper.

There’s store that knows who does the buying in most households.

…off to buy DH and M&S jumper in the hope he turns into James Norton.

I really like the premise of JN and LP. It’s quite Christmasy.
However yet again it’s all too much/ too long.
Also the timeline is stupid. Is it pre Christmas Day or Christmas Lunch ( so why is M and S open)

I had it on mute and lip read it as that!

Like it better than the JLewis one, but looking forward to Kevin carrot in Aldi one 😂

I hated the bear and hare too.I

Little girl, her telescope and the man on the moon will always be my number one.

I loved this ad!

What’s wrong with middle class? Not everyone is on benefits bloody hell

All the better for it, she's been doing it too long and the ads with her are neither funny nor inspiring

The Bear and the Hare with the horrendous Lily Allen cover, complete with her silly fake estuary accent.

There isn't a much better sight than James Norton in a towel - except maybe James Norton - without a towel. That would start my Christmas off on the right note.😁

Dawn had sod all to to with the actual ad concept though. She was roped in as a classic British lovey who clearly likes food.

“Hot man” is a great Christmas idea. I remember my parents veiled jokes at once a year Chrustmas intimacy.

I do feel for Mrs Claus, Santa comes but once a year and when he does it's in a chimney.

It’s more likely we’d help a stranger than we would see a fairy flying around the Christmas food…

I liked it, it was nice to watch, I actually caught myself sat smiling at it!

I was surprised that Dawn French was around for last year’s advert, considering she’d long before said some very unpleasant things about Oct 7th.

But why was he invited for Christmas Dinner when M&S was open later before he wizzed back to Christmas with the wife - and when was he working ?

i really like it
i like both actors

Love it. Yes, there are holes in the narrative but it looks beautiful, James Norton is gorgeous and it ticks all the Christmas visuals boxes - snow, lights, Father Christmas, folk eating round a table. Definite winner.
Watched the Tesco one. Very different to the M and S but still good.

It may have been part of her contract to do that final campaign / ad.

I imagine so, but I would thought they’d rather just pay her and not use her if need be. Surely there’ll be clauses re controversial political statements etc. Not to mention that Marks and Spencer is a Jewish business.

No one is allowed to admit to being middle class these days.

I’ve just ordered the Lucy Punch pyjamas. If JN could deliver them that’d be just marv.

Who exactly is preventing people from ‘admitting to being middle class’?

Yeah,that’s good, he’s looking like a snack. And yes, getting rid of the beard is always the right move.
