A bold, playful and irreverent Christmas commercial for a Whisky brand in partnership with the Darts Championship.
Set around a family Christmas dinner, the film follows a mischievous Grandad who dreams of swapping a quiet festive celebration for the wild atmosphere of the darts at Alexandra Palace.
Featuring various famous darts stars, the online spot blends tongue-in-cheek family humour with an outrageous, high-energy fantasy sequence at Ally Pally.
A fun, character-driven campaign celebrating the idea that you're never too old to join the party.
