Its fair to long and they expect me to believe their not actors? Rubbish!

    I could tell it would be awful from those ghastly teasers they were running in the lead up to the premiere.

    It certainly is cringeworthy, not helping their cause at all

    Alesha Dixon wrote the song for the advert. It's part of her musical comeback bid - she's also leaving her job of judge on Strictly Come Dancing and joining Simon Cowell's ' Britain's Got Talent '.

    Because she's skinny...
    no fat people in that advert...
    no before and after pictures...
    fits in with the governments ideals of what people should be like...
    if your not skinny your not happy...
    therefore you'll die young if your fat and not be able to pay tax to pay off the countrys £100000000000000 debt... :)

    I just turned it over.
    All I find with that sort of advert is that it's more annoying than normal and it puts me off the company advertising more than normal. Hate having things shoved down my throat in an annoying manner.

    Typical of TV weightwatchers is for people who are overweight hence the name. Its disguisting its full of skinny models.

    Id like to know how companies like Evans and choice can justify theirselves with these 18-32 sizes and feature skinny girls.

    It's a bloody miserable world we're living in when adverts have "teasers" and "premieres".

    I took part in the advert, and can assure everyone who thinks that they used models and actors that they they did not. Our names were put forward by our class Leaders to the casting agency, who then got in touch with us and our WeightWatchers area managers to check that the details we had given were correct and we were active members. Then thousands of members from across the country auditioned for the part, which involved having an on camera interview about our weight loss/lives and singing a song of your choice from a list, into a hairbrush, and dancing around the room like a top notch prat ;)

    I know many who weren't successful, and a few who were. I was lucky enough to be selected, and it was a bloody fantastic experience. 2 years ago I would never have thought I'd be 6 stone lighter and taking part in a music video/national TV campaign.

    Those saying that the advert is full of skinny people - that is generally what happens when you follow a successful weight loss plan. What would be peoples response if WW stuck a load of fat people on TV to promote their company?

    Were Mystique ( I know that's not how you spell it, but I'm not sure what the correct spelling is !) a reality show group ? I thought they got together 'naturally'

    I'm pretty ambivalent towards the advert, but not sure why it's criticised for being too long - most adverts are pretty rubbish, so makes no difference whether it's Weight Watchers or whoever else. Gives me a good chance to get a nice cup of tea & piece of cake

    The Morris Minor is the best thing in the advert.

    And it has that hideous boil known as Aleesa Dixon. Why can't she disappear up her ass and give us a rest from her fake and patronising crap.
