That new BBC Christmas promo...

[royalmarriage]

...you know, this one:

I have only two main problems with it:

1.) Consider Yourself, however many sleigh bells you play over the top of it, is hardly the most Christmassy song in the world ever.

2.) Would it kill them to have found a BBC celebrity who can actually, like, play the piano? (Mentioning no names, but I believe Arthur Darvill is quite a capable pianist. Oh, sorry, I wasn't going to mention any names. Oh well.) Much as I like Graham Norton, it's pretty obvious that he's just plonking his fingers randomly on the keys with little regard for the tune he's miming to. I know, maybe I'm too much of a muso geek, but heck, I notice these things...

I hate this advert, I really do. It's so bad, but not so bad it's good (you know what I mean?). I had only seen the section involving Matt Smith and Karen Gillian up until recently when I saw the whole thing and cringed. Oh god, I know British Christmas' are known to be cheesy but...no, just no.

I was listening to Graham Norton's radio show yesterday and he said *he* thought there were going to be people who could actually play the piano in the ad as well...
