Bacardi. "The letter" (2013) 1:30 (U.K.)

Mr. President launched a new campaign for Bacardi, celebrating 150 years. The campaign is called “Our history is unbelievable.” Sadly, we've seen boob jokes and booze a bunch of times. At least this one was story telling at its finest.

Dare breakaway shop Mr. President launched a new campaign for Bacardi, celebrating 150 years. They took the campaign name “Our history is unbelievable,” to the next logical place: a goofy coordinated dance whilst making Bacardi drinks, as a break from working in the mine.

London-based post production house My Brother Bob has released an online film to showcase their talents. What I was afraid was going to be a tasteless joke, is redeemed by the very very funny reveal. Sickos. Nice job.

This spot for Lynx Apollo reminds you that an astronaut never has to wear shades. it's all part of Lynx's Space Academy Initiative. To send a few lucky blokes to space. It's all very silly, and fun very Lynx. I assume there's an age minimum, which means the 13-16 year appreciate these commercials probably won't be able to sign up. Bummer.

Warburtons - 'Hughie' - (2013) :30 (UK)

Hughie is that uncle we all know and love, but keep away from sharp objects. He loved crumpets, and there's nothing wrong with that, now is there?

Guy Shelmerdine from Smuggler directed this demanding little brat, sorry - Bundle of Joy - for BBH shilling a rather clever savings account from Barcleys. Kids are demanding little sods, and eventually they'll demand a house. You can help save up for their mortgage, and if the payments are made on time you'll get your money back after three years. Nice.

Axe / Lynx - Fireman - (2013) :60 (UK)

In "Fireman" a gorgeous specimen of the profession finds a young lady in distress and sets out on a mission to save her in the most heroic way possible, all the while looking sexy , and forgive the pun, smouldering to boot. He races up a stair that burns down at once, he crashes through doors, he ends with an epic getaway from an exploding building, sheltering her in his strong arms, and as their eyes meet once they are in safety...

She spots something better coming down the street! Yep. Ladies may be a sucker for uniforms, but there's levels to the uniforms. Some uniforms are better than others. Let this be a lesson to you all. The best uniform in the birthday suit, by the way, in case anyone was wondering.

Royal Mail reveals Doctor Who stamps reports the BBC and the designs are little time-capsules of the shows style. Tom Baker, David Tennant and Patrick Troughton are featured on the 50th anniversary stamps. Doctor fans rejoice.

Andrew Hammond of the Royal Mail said the commemorative selection "pay tribute to the brilliant actors that have played the Doctor over the years, as well as the adversaries that helped make the show so popular".

This post brought to you by Orbital Dr Who theme and my current flashback to the 90s and I platform-boot-danced to this shit live under the clear starry night. I have lived. Like my t-shirts says, I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands.

"Cutting through the claptrap & political spin, taking out the rubbish putting common sense in." The rythmic rhyming coopy, the laddish delivery, the perfectly timed edits and appearances of short dresses, maracas, grannies and policemen, that neat 360-trick where he walks upside down and the crowd of regular blokes at the end still won't save The Sun's horrid reputation after the news international phone hacking scandal.

I must say it was a jolly nice try though.

Burberry Spring Summer 2013 - Romeo Beckham / Another Love (2012)

Burberry chief creative officer Christopher Bailey picked Romeo Beckham to star alongside Edie Campbell and Charlie France in the new global advertising campaign. Romeo might have the goblin teeth of a ten year old who hasn't quite grown into his face yet, but Bailey says he was a joy to work with and he 'stole the show'. Which is the real reason they've cast a ten year old in the ad, to get a ride on the name of Beckham. Lets face it, he ain't no Felix Howard kissing Madonna.

BBC One - We Wish You A Merry Christmas - It's Showtime! - Christmas 2012

BBC One wishes us all a merry christmas with a run of the mill celeb-packed song edit, a happy new year, and a fantastic bit in between the two. Bless their hearts.

ESPN - Born Into It / Man City v Man United - (2012)

If I had been born a red/blue - they rant, and their rants show how similar fans really are at the heart of things. They both have parents, a broad named Becky, and are both convinced that the other side sucks. It's not crazy, it's sports. That's how this works, mate. The split-screen used here is a great idea. Yikes Wayne Rooney really let himself go, didn't he? *squints*

PS - a proper minger is an unattractive or malodorous person.

Harvey Nichols - The Dress - (2012) :90 (UK)

At the holiday party two ladies discover that they are wearing the same dress. Bring out the laser shooting eyes and a fight worthy of any proper sci-fi! Then at the end.. a hashtag? #Samedress? REALLY?

Oh for the love of Gillard can we please stop it with the #hashtag at the #end of #advertisements now? Hashtags are like footprints in sand, they will soon be run over by waves of spam, don't waste your adspace on something I can not click and that just ruins a perfectly good ad. Twitter hashtags are the "AOL KEYWORD" of the tens. Stop it. Just stop it.
