Xmas ad plea over £50 vid
FANS of a tear-jerking festive video made for £50 want John Lewis to hire the film-maker for its next Christmas advert.
The clip by Phil Beastall, 32, has been seen over five million times on Facebook.
The video, called Love is a Gift, shows a man ticking off the days to Christmas – when he listens to a tape of his dead mother’s final Christmas message.
One online commenter said: “John Lewis, get this man to do your adverts.”
Phil, of Tewkesbury, Glos, said: “A lot of people say it has touched them.”
