Christmas isn’t called the most wonderful time of the year for nothing.
There is something inherently magical about the season, a sense, whether justified or not (I’m a Christmas junkie so guess which side of that equation I fall on), that anything can happen.
More importantly that if it does, you’ll have the people you love around you cheering you on to make your dreams comes true.
That’s the idea behind BBC One’s Christmas ad, “The Supporting Act” which tells the poignant story of one determined 10-year-old who spends all her waking hours practising her dance act, and man is she good, for the Christmas talent show.
It doesn’t look like her dad, who’s busy with work and a thousand other things, is paying all that much attention but come the day of the concert, and the unwelcome arrival of stage fright, it appears her dad has been more aware of what she was doing than she thought.
It’s a gorgeous ad, filled to the brim with love, dreams coming true and that magical festive sense that anything is possible.
