Sherlock, the Doctor, Luther, Dot Cotton and Mary Berry hang out with a sprout in the BBC’s new Christmas trailer.

This just might make you fall in love with sprouts again (if you weren’t already).

BBC One are launching their 3D, animated Christmas campaign with cute character Sprout Boy at the centre of the action.

Narrated by Peter Capaldi, it sees Sprout Boy feeling a bit unloved as he keeps getting turned away by people who don’t like sprouts.


But then he stumbles upon a gathering of BBC One stars and characters who invite him to join in with their Christmas party.

Also at the celebrations are Dot Cotton, Claudia Winkleman, Will.i.am and Graham Norton. Now that’s a party we’d love to be at!



The BBC say the teaser ‘focuses on BBC One bringing the nation together in their millions through its line of Christmas schedule programming, characters and talent.’

The teaser airs tonight after The One Show at 7.30pm.

If that hasn’t got you in the Christmas spirit yet, do check out the advert offerings from John Lewis, Sainsbury’s, Marks and Spencer and Aldi. Only if you’re not too Christmas advert-ed out, of course.
