Domhnall Gleeson stars in the first Christmas TV ad of 2016 and it's gorgeous

We're very much ready for this to be a feature-length film if Burberry want to hurry up and make that happen

Domhnall Gleeson stars in The Tale of Thomas Burberry' alongside Sienna Miller, Dominic West and Lily James. It's full Hollywood glamour meets high-end fashion from 1850s Britain.

The three-minute short, written by Academy Award-nominated Matt Charman and directed by Academy Award-winning Asif Kapadia, tells "the story of Thomas Burberry - pioneer, inventor, innovator, and the man behind the iconic trench coat", according to Burberry's Christopher Bailey.

Look, we got 14 hours into November before a Christmas ad was sprung upon us which has to be some sort of record, so take your outrage at it being the season and point it elsewhere because this is an ad for the ages.
