And the Hellman's Mayonnaise... and even the Quality Street-tree/fire-made-of-sweets one is now a festive must for me. Wonder if the Andrex Duck will come back also....

Bloody hell, I actually remember that Andrex advert. I was in Nursery school and they played that Slade track and I instantly thought "It's the Andrex song!" Amazing what sticks in your head.
Is the Hellman's Mayonnaise one still going? I don't even know how old it is but it feels like it's been around forever, mid-90s at least. I have it on tape from ad-breaks from Christmas 2005 so it was still going then. Yellow Pages usually appears a couple of times on Christmas Day now, it's only recently they updated the shot of the book as it was still proudly proclaiming '1992/3' at the start of this decade!

Just had to come out for lurking hibernation to note how awesome it is to see the Toys R Us one back - nothing says being warm and snug out of the freezing Glaswegian winter than that jingle..

Yes I saw it yesterday! Strangely I do not remember that Andrex advert (although I remember the end slogan but perhaps it is a generic slogan) thank gooseness, it is terrible!
Additional: I have only seen the Toys R Us advert once more since my last post and that was the talking one.

Quite a few details released today by the BBC - official listings should be confirmed early next week, but based on previous years we'll probably get the "TBA" guides in the papers towards the end of the week.

Why was it awful? I quite liked it.
^ Thankfully It sounds like 'The Royal Family' has gone back to basics. Last years episode was awful.

It shouldn't have moved from the living room and I fear they might be overdoing it now since it finished on a high with Queen of Sheba but we'll wait and see.
