Top 6: December 8th 2021
The short film taps into the mood of the nation this festive period with a light-hearted, funny and honest look at the trials and tribulations of the past couple of years as told by a selection of the broadcaster's much loved talent. The timely story, shot by Motherland's BAFTA award-winning director Simon Hynd, demonstrates the importance of listening to our loved ones this Christmas. ITV and STV's ground breaking mental health initiative, Britain Get Talking, returns to our screens with a festive, star-studded Christmas film reminding us of the importance of listening to loved ones this Christmas.
Agency: Uncommon, London

Following a challenging year as the Coronavirus crisis continues, the broadcaster has once again partnered with YoungMinds, Mind and SAMH in this next iteration of Britain Get Talking created by Uncommon. The film gives a tongue-in-cheek look at a day in the life of a make-up artist at ITV, following her day as a host of famous faces grace her make-up chair and vent hilariously about the trials and tribulations of past couple of years — the celebrities tap into the mood of the nation, all hoping for a proper Christmas this time around. After a long day of listening to how others are doing, our make-up artist is finally asked about her day, reminding audiences of the importance of checking in with one another and ensuring we all feel heard. Celebrities including Joel Dommett, Emily Atack, Lorraine Kelly, Gino D’Acampo, Phillip Schofield, Charlene White, Helen Worth, Scarlett Moffatt, Fleur East, Kevin Mathurin, Emile John and Toby Aromolaran deliver humorous, satirical moans about everything from Zoom fatigue to panic buying petrol. Joel Dommett complains “what’s the point in abs if you can’t show them off” in response to the on and off again nature of holidays abroad this summer, while Gino D’Acampo vents about the trials of home-schooling — “ask me to do a souffle, I’ll do a souffle. Long division? No.” After a comical stream of celebrities ranting, Maya Jama offers our make-up artist a friendly ear after her busy day. The film ends with the message “After the last couple of years, we all need an ear. Give yours this Christmas.”
