VIDEO: The Republic of Telly take the p**s out of the John Lewis Christmas ad

"Space is nice, isn't it?"

Tony Cuddihy

Three’s a crowd, it seems.

If you’ve had the John Lewis Christmas ad on a loop over the last week and still find yourself choking up at the story of one little girl and her telescope, well, you probably need to get out a bit more.

Or you could just watch this and let the nice people of the Republic of Telly put an all-too-Irish spin on an interplanetary love affair.

This will not melt your cold, cold heart, but it will put an awful goo on you for a few cans and a lot of terrible daytime television.
