some kind of message re world peace with a David Bowie song, maybe with Bing?

It'll be over sentimental shit.
Some lonely older man sat in his kitchen, eating a ready meal for one, wearing a paper hat all on his own. Next to him there will be an empty plate, glass and unpulled cracker. He'll look whistfully at a picture of a similarly aged woman on the wall,
"Merry Christmas" he says as he raises a half filled glass to the picture.

Suddenly a door bell is heard. The man rises slowly, painfully and he shuffles to the door. As he gets to his front door he looks in the mirror in the hall, straightens his cardigan, agjusts his tie.
As he opens the door it reveals a younger man and a woman, they have 3 kids and are carrying presents, the old mans eyes fill with tears as he smiles,
"Hello son" he says,
"Merry Christmas Dad" the younger replies,
As the advert ends the two men smile and hug another as the children look on and smile softly and sweetly.

Or some shit like that. Holly jolly Christmas adverts, yay.

Definitely won't be the continuing adverntures of Moon Hitler!

How about something nostalgic to tie in with the Queen's 90th birthday?

I thought it might have something to do with refugees.
Or maybe Roald Dahl.

I hope it has a message of unity - the brexit vote has made me feel quite different about my country 😞
i hope it isn't too "land of hope and glory" and "quintessentially British" whatever the hell that is now
That would make me turn the tv off 😡
I think their most successful Xmas ad was the young boy giving his first Xmas gift to his parents with the Morrisey track.
I cried 🙄😁

I would like the sound track to be either;
Prince or Bowie.

I predict something jolly, about a farmer and a sheep. Merry Christmas Everybody as the theme tune. Maybe the farmer deciding not to eat the sheep but instead invites it in to share Christmas.

The sheep will be available as toys, on jumpers, as wallpaper, chocolates, crockery, Christmas Tree topper.

I think it'll be set in the Cotswolds a farmer has lost his sheep. He ends up at an inn with tbd wise men etc and all the sheep with Joseph, Mary etc and the sheep as they were cold. All the animals will be wearing Xmas jumpers.

I'll eat my Christmas hat if my prediction is correct.

Saggy you've brought a tear to my eye! (Even without a breathy soft rock accompaniment!)

Sorry about that.
Maybe rthe backoing track could be an acoustic guitar playing Cats In The Cradle and a breathy female voice singing,
"Ooohhhhhh when you coming home son........
I don't know wheeeeennn ooooohhhhhh
We'll get togertheeerrr then
You know..... You know.....
We'll have a good time then
Yeah....
You know we'll have a good time
...
..
Then......"

And not a dry eye in the house, whilst they wait for the Corrie Xmas special part 2.

It will be urban and gritty and involve a Banksy artwork that comes to life for a little while. No fluff, no watery and wistful gazing into the distance for lost penguin/granpa/sheep. A different tack.

My prediction is there will be extended family visiting from Aus, happy airport scenes, a little girl excited for snow. But no snow arrives. So little boy cousin leads the family in making it happen Christmas morning. With a JL snow machine I guess.

Well either way let's hope it's better than last years. Our local branch of JL was flogging off tons of Lonely Old Man merchandise well in to January. Someone majorily over played that one.

Done. Although my prediction wasn't so much an option, I think it will be the night shift NHS worker and set in the car park of a hospital and on the road trying to make it home for Christmas Eve bedtime!

Done!
I bloody love John Lewis adverts!!

A remote Scottish community digging their way through heavy snow to get to the local pub for a big old Scottish party. There would be kilts, bagpipes, deer, whisky, tartan.

.....I predict Scotland.

But in Q7 you need the option 'They let me down, they let retail down but most disappointing of ll, they let themselves down'

For Q8 as well as love them and hate them, we need the option 'love to hate them'
