Love the advert, but who is playing the part of Santa in the advert???

[chikaandippas]

gary glitter

[Hurleylicious]

It's Nicholas Smith (Mr Rumbold from Are You Being Served?)

[Cryten1974]

Ahh thats it, thanks Hurley, I knew I recognised the voice, but sounded like Richard Attenbourgh to me

[Supermack01]

poor branding, sack the agency, great media coverage, shame no-one in my family knows what it is for...

[deathbygoat]

Every time I see this, I laugh a lot. Thank you!

[MCpapalop2]

I LAUGHED SO HARD

[TorturedMel]

Best bit is the elves in the background at the window and then one gets piled in snow! Funny :)

If the idea that Santa and Mr Walker are shagging, then it was brilliant! really! Love the offsetting mood of this add lol

My husband (by Civil Partnership) and I just saw this advert at 09.15 in the morning in the UK. I moved here from America, so today is Thanksgiving for me, traditionally. This commercial really put us in the holiday mood.

Good on the makers of this product. I never tried one of their Christmas Puddings before, but it is the only brand I will buy from now on!

Santa : I got stuck in his chimney.

Walker: It took five men to get him out.

Mother cracks me up every time.

I think its a remarkable sign of the tolerant evolution of our society that only 18 months after Heinz pulled an advert because of an (incorrectly) perceived homosexual agenda we can accept a commercial which features a much loved public figure in a happy and comfortable gay relationship.

Well done Matthew Walker, and well done Britain.

Love this advert! Makes me feel like christmas is here!

[bernardcoleslaw]

Very poor advert. Way too long, poor brand recognition, out-of-focus pack shot. Looks nice but doesn't do the job of an advert.

Sack your ad agency.

My housemate and I love this advert. I always knew there was something fruity about Father Christmas...

[TRWolf]

Saw this on TV just now. "Friends" yeah right, they're a couple if ever there was one.

[stariell]

Total bromance. Ten to one they're shagging.

Brilliant idea, perfectly realised. Love it!
