Waitrose brings a dash of mystery to the festive season with their "whodunnit" Christmas commercial, featuring stars from some major TV shows. The first instalment of the two-parter campaign is entitled “Sweet Suspicion, A Waitrose Mystery” with a cast including Matthew Macfadyen of Succession, comedian Joe Wilkinson from Afterlife, Rakhee Thakrar of Sex Education, Sian Clifford from Fleabag, Dustin Demri-Burns of Slow Horses and Eryl Maynard of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple. Fleabag star Sian Clifford, who takes on the role of May, gleefully shared: "Christmas is often a time that brings together a cast of all kinds of different characters – usually good food is the one thing we can all agree on."
