YouTube names top UK Christmas ads – so far

YouTube has revealed its ‘leader board’ of the top 15 UK Christmas ads to date (no numbers as they’re changing all the time) and it reads thus (length of the commercial in question is included too as there are several versions of some of them).

And they’re all here (at least I think they are):

What to say? We didn’t like Burberry and young Romeo very much but the public seem to while Tesco and Wieden+Kennedy will be pleased with three entries. Some advertisers (Burberry, Sainsbury’s, John Lewis) went for one blockbuster, others (like Tesco and Waitrose) spread the load. Both strategies seem to have worked. Toys R’Us’ modest 21 seconds seems to have worked in spades.

And the good (bad) news is: there’s more to come!
