Waitrose has pulled out all the stops for this year's ad, which stars the likes of Matthew Macfadyen, Sian Clifford and Dustin Demri-Burns in a festive 'whodunnit'.

In the two-part ad, created by Saatchi & Saatchi and directed by Lucy Forbes (Eric, This is Going to Hurt), Matthew takes on the role of amateur detective as he investigates the mysterious disappearance of the Red Velvet Bauble Dessert.
