Life Apes Friday Night Dinner: Zach Margolin and Josie Singer’s Covid Christmas advert

by | 13th, October 2020

Zach Margolin says he has “got this year’s Christmas advert figured out.” He’s videoed his grandmother Josie Singer counting down the days til Christmas. Covid-19 has left her alone. She wants to see her loved ones.

It’s a fun advert with a neat take on the end that makes us all feel warm and fuzzy.

And it reminds us of that scene in Friday Night Dinner, Robert Popper’s hit TV show about a Jewish family who, like Josie, live in north west London. (Full disclosure: me too.) Do Jews celebrate Christmas? Is that a Christmas Tree or a Channukah Bush in the lounge? Isn’t Christmas, you know, just nice?

Happy Christmas!
