Those TV Christmas ads

 So far, this year's seasonal commercials by the big retailers show no great advances on previous years' Indeed, M&S uses the same animated tree-top fairy inspired by Dawn French as graced our screens last year. Tesco has been slightly more innovative, but must have left many of my generation with a queasy feeling, echoing as it does the first Quatermass Experiment in which a returning astronaut crew morph into a terrifying human/cactus chimera. Points to ASDA for using Michael Bublé who has done so much to keep the big band tradition going. My favourite, though, is Morrisons' if only for using Starship's big hit as the backing track.
