The new M&S Christmas advert is going viral, but not for the reason they wanted

The Marks & Spencer Christmas advert this year features Paddington Bear prominently.

He hears a burglar fall on his roof, mistakes him for "Santa" and helps him deliver all the presents in his bag.

He tells Paddington:
