Halloween has passed, signalling the slow but steady lead-up to Christmas, and the first high-profile Christmas advert has been unveiled.
Debenhams has stepped up before rivals John Lewis with their 2014 festive offering, featuring children running riot inside one of its stores.
The full 60-second version was shot in the Clapham Junction and Sutton stores by director David Edwards.
Sir Paul McCartney's 'We All Stand Together' is featured in the commercial, but sadly the Frog Chorus can't be heard in all their ribbiting glory.
The advert will debut on TV during The X Factor on ITV this Saturday (November 8), following teasers over the past weekend.

Tabloid complaints about the BBC can descend into the absurd, such as moans about migrant birds featuring on Radio 4
✒The select committee that interviewed the chairman and director general of the BBC this week had trawled through all the tabloid allegations against Auntie over the past few months. It seems there is nothing the Beeb can get right. Some matters are serious, such as Jimmy Savile and the overpayment of departing staff. Others are incredibly trivial, such as the exact length of cleavage shown by female presenters.
But they all get full coverage in the anti-bbc press, including this week the allegation that some of the birds in the popular Tweet of the Day feature on Radio 4 are not actually British, but migrants who stop here on their way to somewhere else.
You can almost write the stories. They come over here, some of them from outside the EU, and...

Luke Treadaway stars in Thirteen Steps Down, a gripping psychological thriller based on the novel by Ruth Rendell, coming to ITV on Monday 13th August.
The two-part drama centres on a young Notting Hill mechanic Mix Cellini (Treadaway) who is fixated by both a local model Nerissa Nash (Elarica Gallagher) and a long-dead serial killer, John Reginald Christie, the real-life petty criminal who murdered eight women in Notting Hill between 1943 and 1953.
27 year old Luke (represented in the UK by Hamilton Hodell) already has an impressive CV of film and TV roles. He was nominated for a British Independent Film Award as most promising newcomer for his role as Barry Howe in the 2005 film Brothers of the Head.

A nervous Deepika Padukone spoke to BollySpice reporter Sunny Malik ahead of the release of her latest film Cocktail. Directed by Homi Adajania and also starring Saif Ali Khan, Diana Penty, Boman Irani and Dimple Kapadia, Cocktail is a story about three friends living in London.
The 26-year-old actress, last seen in Desi Boyz, which was also extensively filmed in London, is returning to the silver screen after a gap of eight months. In her second Illuminati Films production, Deepika plays the character of Veronica, a sexy Londoner who pretty much likes to go clubbing and get sloshed.
Here the Love Aaj Kal actress opens up about her love for the British capital, her character, co-stars Diana Penty and Saif Ali Khan, director Homi Adajania and much more.
You shot films in London before as well for example, Housefull, Desi Boyz and Love Aaj Kal. Does it not get boring...

We're too frightened of viruses to let them scare us, so instead we choose to shriek at phantoms
Steven Soderbergh says that since making Contagion he's been washing his hands more often. Will cinemagoers follow suit?
The film is so eager to promote disease prevention that it sometimes sounds like a public information video. Kate Winslet's fervent medic warns us grimly: "The average person touches their face three to five times every waking minute. In between, we're touching doorknobs, water fountains and each other." If that kind of stuff doesn't get to you, wait till you see Gwyneth Paltrow's cranial autopsy.
Were Contagion to succeed in raising infection awareness, it would do us all a good turn. For unlike the begetters of apocalypse that cinema generally favours, disease really does confront us with an under-appreciated threat. Life as we know it won't be brought to a halt by asteroid impact,...

X Factor hopeful Derry Mensah reportedly served time in prison for robbery. The 20-year-old impressed the judging panel, in particular Kelly Rowland, with his performance of Usher's 'Can You Help Me' in Saturday night's episode of the ITV1 competition. The Sun reports that Mensah targeted a passenger on a train near Clapham Junction. After demanding his Rolex watch and mobile phone, he answered a phone call revealing where he would meet a friend. He was arrested after arriving to find waiting police. "He saw the Rolex and knew that it was valuable so he decided to make his move," a source told the paper. "Then as he was taking the watch his phone rang and he told his friend he'd meet him at Selhurst station, right in front of the guy he was stealing from."

Two films out this week find themselves startlingly in touch with the culture of violence on our city streets
Now and then, the movie-release schedule snaps into line with real-world events. This time last week I'd already planned to write something about a pair of new films touching on cinema's age-old idea of the city as dark, perilous and eternally menacing. As it turns out, the week in London and elsewhere made most of that feel wincingly redundant. The films themselves, however, are anything but.
The first is The Interrupters, veteran documentarian Steve James's remarkable portrait of a trio of former gang members physically intervening in outbreaks of street violence; the second: Elite Squad 2, Brazilian director José Padilha's sequel to his queasy, but vastly successful, 2007 story of a mob of Rio supercops. In pretty much every aspect of their work, James and Padilha couldn't be more different, but each...

Rioters chose Rim. But Twitter and Facebook's new mob mostly carry brooms. "It's Like Hogwarts," says an observer.
After another night of rioting in London left some London communities crisping at the edges and littered with glass, a Twitter-rallied force of do-gooders are taking to the streets with gloves, brooms, and dustpans to clean up the mess.
If Rim was the choice of rioters, Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook are the tools of the clean-up crews.
Using the Twitter handle @Riotcleanup, citizens are coming together following protests of the police shooting a Tottenham man. The Twitter account is raking in thousands of new followers per hour in the process. (At last count they had 59,000.)
Meanwhile, Riotcleanup.co.uk lists times and locations for cleanup efforts, along with suggestions for equipment that people could bring along.

Saif Ali Khan made his mark as a producer with Love Aaj Kal in 2009, which also launched his home banner Illuminati Films. Post the success of their first production, Saif and co-owner Dinesh Vijain ventured into making another Indian love story abroad. Directed by Homi Adjania, the film is tentatively titled Cocktail and started its first schedule in London in the last weeks of May.
We have 10 facts full of scoop from the set just for BollySpice readers, check it out!
1. You probably know the film stars Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan in pivotal roles, but did you know that Diana Penty will make her debut in Cocktail in an important role. She is a well-known model and was originally approached to star in Rockstar but she was ousted from the film without any explanation. Imtiaz Ali then recommended her to Saif and so, she became a part of this modern love story.

The Londoner behind the Formula One documentary steps beyond the well-trodden path between home and Hollywood
"Write what you know", goes the counsel handed down to generations of would-be novelists – a simple but endlessly prudent nugget of advice. And the same sentiment has served a similar number of British film-makers just as well, with the gazes of untold directors falling to great effect on our scabby, sceptered isle. But what of those whose attention has travelled elsewhere?
Having spent the last fortnight in the purlieus of Clapham Junction rather than Cannes I haven't yet been able to see We Need To Talk About Kevin, the (genuinely) long-awaited comeback of Lynne Ramsay, but reliable reports suggest a portrait of the suburban Us every bit as richly steeped in local flavour as Ratcatcher and Morvern Callar were suggestive of their director's native Scotland.

Actor best known as the private detective Frank Marker in the television series Public Eye
For 10 years, the actor Alfred Burke, who has died aged 92, starred as the downbeat private detective Frank Marker in the popular television series Public Eye (1965-75). The character was intended as a British rival to Raymond Chandler's American gumshoe Philip Marlowe. Tough, unattached and self-sufficient, Marker could take a beating in the service of his often wealthy clients without quitting. "Marker wasn't exciting, he wasn't rich," Burke said. "He could be defined in negatives."
An ABC TV press release introduced the character as a "thin, shabby, middle-aged man with a slightly grim sense of humour and an aura of cynical incorruptibility. His office is a dingy south London attic within sound of Clapham Junction. He can't afford a secretary, much less an assistant, and when he needs a car, he hires a runabout from the local garage.

Sex and the City 2: "I see it this way: Satc is the female equivalent of Transformers, and the excessive wardrobe budget is not that dissimilar to paying $8 million to plaster Megan Fox's ass all over a movie. Yet, men get a pass for paying $10 to watch Megan Fox's ass bounce up and down a movie set, while women are maligned as vapid or shallow for taking the same pleasure in gawking at shoes and the various male objects of fantasy that are scattered throughout the Satc movies." - Dustin Rowles

Welcome back friends! I’m a little hyper from sleep deprivation having stayed up all night watching the UK election coverage – more on that later. For now I’m keeping myself upbeat by bopping along to the new track from Scissor Sisters. Have you heard it? It’s ridiculous – in a good way. It features booming poetic vocals from Sir Ian McKellen. Yes, Gandalf goes disco-trance!
Lead singer Jake Shears and Sir Ian often party together, so Jake asked the veteran gay actor to contribute to new track “Invisible Light.” They actually took a bunch of recording equipment to McKellen’s dressing room when he was performing in the brilliant West End production of Waiting for Godot.
It looks as though the flamboyant pop group have their edge back, after a rather tame second album. They make quite a statement with their album cover – the taught buttocks of ballet dancer...

Even a little wet English weather wasn’t enough to dampen the spirits of these hardened greeks, as the cast came out in force to greet the fans and press alike and promote the remake of the classic 1981 fantasy epic.

Following the outrage sparked by Canadian border guards’ decision to seize three gay-themed films (Shamim Sarif’s I Can’t See Straight, Adrian Shergold’s Clapham Junction and Ella Lemhagen’s Patrik, Age 1.5) headed to Ottawa’s gay film festival a couple of weeks ago, Jenn Ruddy reports at xtra.com that another gay-themed film was held up by Canadian authorities for more than a month.

One of them has yet to do his first full-length movie- Colin Morgan. Major mainstays are Ryan Donowho, Jesse Eisenberg and Tom Sturridge. Definitely, these three can act and play the lead roles. It just so happens that the kind of challenging and interesting roles are not yet within their grasps... [ Get to know more about the mechanics in choosing the top 50 Brothers of the Head (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0432260/) and as Theo in Clapham Junction. Why he made the top 50: Luke plays one of the leads in Brothers of the Head, which many critics lambasted for its 'incoherent and messy second half'. Says Boyd van Hoeij @european-films.net (http://european-films.net/content/view/258/57/): The musical career of two British punk siblings joined above the hip spirals out of control in the fake rockumentary Brothers of the Head.
