John Lewis Christmas advert: Love it or loathe it?

Love it or loathe it... the new John Lewis Christmas advert is here again, and it has been trending on social media before its TV debut.

The advert tells the story of a young boy's friendship with a penguin called Monty, set to a cover of John Lennon's Real Love by Tom Odell.
