We see a son and his father packing the car for university. Clive seems to be struggling to find the words to say goodbye to his father. But it’s not until the close of a heart-felt, emotional farewell that we reveal it’s his old laptop he’s been speaking to all along. ‘I love you’, Clive says bravely, ‘But I’d also love at least £200 off a new laptop at Currys PC World’. We cut to in-store at Currys PC World as a helpful employee outlines the benefits of his shiny new laptop.
