John Lewis Xmas Ad with Elton John & Theme Tunes

[biggytitbo]

Nothing says Christmas like rewriting the lyrics of a song about a dead woman so its about a different dead woman.

Why doesn't it have a scene from Princess Diana's funeral, that's his most famous moment isn't it?

That would backfire massively. They'd be accused of cashing in on the death of VER PIEPOL'S PRINCISSSSSSS.

Final scene is puzzling.  What 5 year-old Pinner lad worth his peanuts wanders downstairs on Christmas Day at a late enough hour that his mum and maiden aunt are fully dressed?  Also, that little fella is called REG.

In the pantheon of Christmas ads I would have to describe this one as 'been at the sherry'.

That's not Taron Egerton in this is it. So what was it CGI on a looky likey?

Personally I'll never forgive Mr John for nearly ruining a superb Prince gig I attended but this is quite well done. It'll be the only ad i'll see this year as we are not allowed to watch the commercial channels.
