The BBC may be a little late to the party with a Christmas advert – but then again the first day of December does seem like a more legitimate time to get excited for the festive season.
The animated short showed the sadness of a lonely sprout who was reminded my everyone he met that he was the only think not loved about Christmas.
As we felt our heartstrings being pulled (as is standard in a Christmas commercial it seems), all hope was lost for the sprout as it wandered hopelessly through the snow.
Until Doctor Who picked him up and welcomed him to the warm bosom of the BBC family.
