With a respiratory pandemic entering its second wave and all manner of vices thoroughly indulged as people cling to whatever keeps them sane, cigarette-quitting events like Stoptober are more vital than ever for public health. The NHS announce this year's initiative in floral fashion, replacing lungs with plants.

While fans of murdery cult classic TV series Hannibal may find the imagery disturbingly familiar, this tar-soaked tree is executed (pardon the pun) in a gentler fashion. The plants regain their colour and vitality as smoking is reduced, finally breathing easy again when restored to their former glory.

While the outlook for those struggling with nicotine addiction in the face of Covid-19 is grim, this ad promises that there's support available to reduce one’s health risks all around. With over a million smokers having already quit during lockdown, Stoptober 2020 is already off to a promising start.

FIFA 21 may be a mixed bag for Leeds United fans this season. On the one hand, United’s Elland Road stadium is, er, missing from the upcoming game. On the other hand, supporters can play as former striker Eric Cantona and pretend he never left for rivals Manchester United. Swings and roundabouts, really.

This 90" film announces Cantona as one of the game's unlockable legends, but not before directors Ryan and Ben Coyle-Larner hail the new generation of "kings and winners": schoolchildren, part-timers, full-timers, and even the local pie and mash shop owner.

The result is a vivid, melodic, and inclusive tribute to anyone who's scored a tap-in or a screamer in their time. The only one unmoved by the hype is Cantona, who punctures the ad's earnest tone with customary elan.

China's most famous one-on-one basketball tournament calls 2020 players to action with this intriguing film. The piece adopts a determined tone from the word go, as the narrator discusses self-belief, commitment, and bringing one's A-game despite the naysayers.

Director Lennart Brede's visuals are spot-on, leading viewers from rainy, neon-lit streets to sterile libraries, smoggy skylines, and finally the basketball court. Whether it's kids playing on improvised surfaces or professional-grade gyms, it's clear how much the hallowed space means to those who use it.

Boasting animation which emphasises the monumental nature of the competition to the players involved, this film offers a compelling look into the mindset around using sport to measure pride. It's clear that these competitors are beyond motivated - and that the eventual face-offs are well worth watching.

It's hard to describe keeping the nation's lights on during a pandemic as 'doing nothing', but EDF Energy have a different take on the concept in their latest commercial. The 60" film explores what comprises a day in the life of the company - from servicing offshore wind turbines to visiting customers in their homes.

The brand's orange logo is reflected by the cinematography and the grade which are both excellent, but the jaunty soundtrack is equally memorable. There's even time of a swift cuppa amid the non-stop activity captured by director Marcus Soderlund.

It turns out the titular 'nothing' refers to efforts to generate zero-carbon energy, which may not convince those living near the proposed Sizewell C nuclear power station. Still, this a useful and appropriately energetic piece of work.

Seat's advertising has always been hit-and-miss, often struggling to leave an impression on these shores with bland car trips and garbled life hacks. However, this 40" commercial charms thanks to its three inflatable protagonists: a dinosaur, a flamingo, and a hippopotamus who know better than to mess with a bunch of cacti.

The moment all three cower at the sight of said plants is beautifully judged, with director Scott Lyon emphasising the pool toys' texture and physicality well. Crucially, the ad doesn't take itself too seriously, with the human driver perpetually nodding to the beat like a Flat Eric tribute act. A welcome change of pace for the Spanish marque.
