Had my first taste of Christmas last night at Old Trafford!

We had a shoot for MUTV’s Christmas TV commercial, and it involved 7 choirboys from Manchester Boys’ Choir singing ‘The 12 Days Of Cantona’ (which unsurprisingly is sung to the tune of ‘The 12 Days Of Christmas!) being conducted in the stands by a guy called Pete Boyle, who is a quite well-known United fan.

I didn’t have that much to do with the organisation of it – the creative was handled by our ad agency – so I was there to check everything went okay. There was quite a large crew there, and it was being shot on film rather than tape, which is better than we normally work with!

It only took a couple of hours – but it was absolutely freezing standing there at the side of the pitch! Now I just need to get the ad edited and sent for clearance as soon as possible because it’s supposed to start running on Sky from the 13th! No pressure there then!
