00:00You are Kate Tucker, textile designer.
00:05I found your Christmas present.
00:06It's a Christmas-themed dating service.
00:07I need new friends.
00:09I'm Drew.
00:10You're Christmas Cupid.
00:12I can't believe there was a no-show.
00:14My Latin aerobic scar solution is here.
00:17It's right, huh?
00:18Why are you doing all this
00:19if you don't really know what you're looking for?
00:21I don't know.
00:22It's the beauty of it.
00:24You don't have to know what it is.
00:26You just have to take a chance.
00:28He's here.
00:28Richard, the guy from the first date.
00:33He's just going to...
00:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:48Kate, you're glitching.
00:57Why are you glitching?
00:58Guy.
00:59That guy.
01:00The guy that stood me up on the first date.
01:02You know, Richard.
01:02He's here.
01:04He's at the pear tree.
01:04He's waiting.
01:05Right.
01:05Well, let's go and give him a talking to.
01:07He left me these flowers and this little card.
01:14You're Richard, huh?
01:15Yeah.
01:15All right, well, I don't know who you think you are, Richard, but this is unbelievably cute.
01:20Oh, come on.
01:21Is it, though?
01:21I mean, is it actually, though, or is it manipulative?
01:24Being like, sorry I was a no snow?
01:27Oh, oh, I'm hoping that you'll forgive me.
01:30Like, he's using Christmas puns to purposely disarm me, and isn't that just a little...
01:34Call the Hague.
01:36Look, if you weren't just the teensiest bit charmed, you wouldn't be out here marching
01:39back and forth like a confused rumba.
01:40I just, I don't know whether I should just go up there and, you know, give him what for,
01:45or if I should just stand him up and go home.
01:48Excuse-a-me, you pinky-promised me that if opportunity came a-knocking at your door,
01:54you would answer it, okay?
01:55The guy has come all the way out to Blacksford, all right?
01:58He's taken all this time to write these, frankly, delightful Christmas puns, okay?
02:03What have you got to lose?
02:04So, come on, we're going.
02:05No, but, no, but, no, but, no, but...
02:07Literally, like a third child.
02:08Come on!
02:10Check the...
02:18Callum! Callum! Callum!
02:25Seen any remorseful-looking men around here lately?
02:27Yeah, I was a bloke with a rose.
02:28I waited about an hour and then left.
02:30You were out there for an hour?
02:32Good job I came when I did.
02:34A rose? That's kind of cliche, right?
02:35What was he like? How did he smell?
02:38Was he intriguing?
02:39I don't know. Normal.
02:41No obvious signs he was a serial killer.
02:42Well, there are no obvious signs of a serial killer.
02:44True.
02:45Was he cute? Like, on a scale of one to hot,
02:47how...
02:48Listen to your object to find a man like that.
02:50Shame on you.
02:51Oh, my God, I need to find this man.
02:53I will admit that I was a little intrigued,
02:55but obviously it's for the best.
02:57I mean, he's stood me up twice now.
02:58Yeah, because you were dawdling on the pavement.
03:00Well, sometimes things just aren't meant to be...
03:02His phone number.
03:05Oh, no.
03:07It's a Christmas miracle.
03:09If you don't text him right this instant, I will.
03:11Okay.
03:12Let's just calm down.
03:13I shan't. Text him.
03:15Okay.
03:15In a rush,
03:32you're lost, dot, dot, dot, again.
03:36Are you mad?
03:38Well, if he doesn't like it,
03:40he can just...
03:41What?
03:44Oh, it's very good.
03:47Indeed.
03:48Next time, I'll wait all night if I have to.
03:51What's going on here?
04:13Oh, floral.
04:14Is that eucalyptus?
04:17Yeah, it's just something I'm playing with.
04:19You know, just the start of something.
04:20For Mrs. Talbot.
04:21She's a traditionalist.
04:23Ah, yes.
04:24Mrs. Talbot's tartans.
04:25No, those are here.
04:27Still a work in progress.
04:29Clearly.
04:30Well, keep working.
04:31And, um,
04:33this little eucalyptus piece.
04:34Yeah, it's interesting.
04:35Maybe not for Mrs. Talbot, but...
04:38Interesting.
04:39I know it sounds like a line,
04:51but I was at the hospital.
04:53My nephew broke his arm playing football,
04:55so I stayed with him
04:56until my sister could get off work.
04:59Great.
05:00So now you're a hero.
05:03We're an annoyingly close family.
05:05My mom is one of my best mates.
05:07And if you can stomach that,
05:09I'd really like to make it up to you.
05:11Wow.
05:12You guys, there is no Christmas
05:14without John McClane.
05:15Nakatomi Plaza, hello.
05:16Maybe, but I think most people would agree
05:18that the holiday is essential holiday viewing.
05:20Bollocks!
05:21Oh.
05:22All right, what's your favorite?
05:23No, I don't really have a strong opinion.
05:24I just wanted to disagree.
05:26Christmas has come early, ladies!
05:28Oh, yay!
05:30Branding deal?
05:31The clients don't even have them yet.
05:32Oh, please stay our friend forever.
05:34I'm working on it.
05:35Oh, is there something I want to share?
05:36Posh pies!
05:40What are posh pies?
05:41Mmm.
05:42Mmm.
05:43Lectured Christmas tradition.
05:44It's my mom's recipe.
05:45She was magic in the kitchen.
05:47Babe, they're really divine.
05:48Mmm.
05:49I bet you could take these to market.
05:50Sell them at gourmet grocers?
05:51You could be the next Paul Hollywood.
05:53No, I'd have to work on my beers.
05:55Mmm.
05:56I can show you how I make them, though, if you like.
05:58Mmm.
05:59Mmm.
06:00Mmm.
06:01Two words.
06:02Die.
06:03Hard.
06:04What?
06:05Nothing.
06:06Just...
06:07Richard's favorite Christmas movie is also Die Hard.
06:08Oh, so you've been texting, I see.
06:09Yeah.
06:10I mean, I hate to admit it, but he's kind of interesting.
06:12Mm-hmm.
06:13He's a journalist, and he's writing a piece on The Twelve Dates.
06:14Turns out I am not the only one who's got a fair amount of skepticism about this whole
06:15thing.
06:16Sounds like a perfect match.
06:17Yeah.
06:18It's all very suspicious.
06:19Oh, maybe.
06:20Just maybe.
06:21You're having a good time?
06:22I mean, look at you.
06:23You've really perked up.
06:24Okay.
06:25Easy, cowboy.
06:26I haven't even met this guy in person.
06:27He's probably just showing me his best side, so I'll think he's perfect.
06:28Well, so you think he's perfect.
06:29I have a good feeling about this for you.
06:32Mmm.
06:37Morning.
06:38Good morning.
06:41I'm kind of excited about you.
06:45Oh.
06:54Morning.
06:55Good morning.
06:56What's going on here?
06:58I've made a smoothie.
07:00It's got all sorts of healthy stuff in it.
07:02I can't remember what any of it is,
07:03but it's supposed to boost my memory.
07:05So, bottoms up.
07:11Ooh!
07:12I'll put some air on your chest.
07:14Wheat grass.
07:16It's got wheat grass, see?
07:17It's working already.
07:19So, what brought on the sudden urge to drink the vegetation?
07:22I thought you'd be pleased.
07:23Impressed you.
07:24Yes.
07:25I'm always happy to praise you for doing something in your own best interest.
07:29Figured I could use a boost before I put up the Christmas lights outside today.
07:32Wait, Dad.
07:33You can't do that.
07:34You can't be climbing up ladders while I'm not here.
07:37Your balance isn't what it used to be.
07:38Just wait until I get back and then I'll help you.
07:41I'm not scaling the roof.
07:42I understand that.
07:44But it isn't safe.
07:45Come on, I shouldn't be having to tell you this.
07:47Fine, fine.
07:48I will wait until my daughter has returned to chaperone me in a perfectly menial task that
07:52I've done a million times before.
07:54Without incident.
07:56Great.
08:12I'd say I'm a serial monogamous.
08:14When I'm in a relationship, I'm all in.
08:17My parents have been married for 40 years.
08:20And that's what I want.
08:21As far as interrogations go, I'm really enjoying this.
08:25Far away.
08:27Oh, so you think this is fun?
08:30You don't even know me.
08:32Why not enjoy the other dates and just let this one go?
08:36When I took this assignment, I decided to be all in.
08:41Trust the process.
08:42You and I were supposed to be.
08:45You must be a romantic.
08:50What can I say?
08:53I'm a romantic.
08:57Current view.
09:01What are you doing in Paris?
09:05Had a few days between dates.
09:07Looking for inspiration for the article.
09:09City of love, after all.
09:13When I get back, let's meet.
09:19Kate!
09:20What are you doing back here?
09:22You're late.
09:23Make haste.
09:24Come along.
09:25Quickly.
09:43What in the name of Lizzie Bennet?
09:45Welcome to A Christmas Carol Live.
09:48An immersive experience.
09:51With whom do I have the pleasure?
09:53Oh, uh, it says I'm Dowager Countess Fern Radcliffe.
09:58A legendary party animal.
10:00Now, let's meet your date.
10:03Woo!
10:04Oh...
10:04I'm out.
10:09No.
10:14No.
10:15No.
10:16No.
10:16No.
10:20No.
10:22Well, this is a first. Ash, meet Kate. Kate, this is Ash.
10:39Nice to meet you.
10:39It appears that I've made a clerical error.
10:44Well, Ash's happily ever after is feminine and Kate's is masculine.
10:49Isn't it fortuitous?
10:51Clearly something magical has brought you two together, but you must be willing to go along for the ride.
10:57I'm down if you are.
10:58I do love a good cosplay.
11:00Excellent. Go forth and be merry.
11:05To be honest, I'm kind of relieved to have a non-date date.
11:09Me too.
11:10Do you want to grab a drink?
11:11Definitely.
11:12Let's go.
11:13I'm getting scared.
11:14It's a win.
11:15My little pinky finger knows more about hanging Christmas lights than you ever will.
11:23She does the indoors.
11:25I do the outdoors.
11:27That's how it's always been.
11:29I don't tell you how or when to hang your Christmas baubles, do I?
11:33Yeah.
11:34Oh, wait a second.
11:35Oh, no.
11:36Oh, no.
11:37Oh, no!
11:38Oh, no!
11:39Oh!
11:40Oh!
11:41Oh!
11:42Oh!
11:43Oh!
11:44Oh!
11:45Oh!
11:46Oh!
11:47Oh, God.
11:48Oh!
11:49Oh, God.
11:50Oh!
11:51Oh!
11:52Oh!
11:53Oh!
11:54Oh!
11:55Oh!
11:56Oh!
11:57Oh!
11:58Oh!
11:59Okay, he's gonna kill me.
12:00Oh!
12:01Oh!
12:02Oh!
12:03Oh!
12:11These are shadows of things that have been.
12:14They are what they are.
12:17Do not blame me, Mr. Scrooge.
12:21Remove me. I cannot bear it.
12:41Can I admit something embarrassing?
12:43Please do.
12:44Every time I think of a Christmas carol, I think about Scrooge McDuck.
12:48Me too. It really is the definitive Dickens.
12:57This is all so romantic, isn't it?
12:59Yeah.
13:00Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were joking.
13:03I'm not kidding at all.
13:04I mean, the costumes, the dance cards, the potential to swoon.
13:10I'm absolutely here for it.
13:14See, I think it feels false and manipulative.
13:17Seriously? Who hurt you?
13:19It's a long story.
13:21Well, tell me about it.
13:23I'm just saying, I don't think that, you know, forced romance is necessarily romantic.
13:30Like, this guy I've been texting, every time he says anything, all I can hear in my head is,
13:35Oh, I love my mum. Oh, I believe in fate. Paris is the city of love. Like...
13:42But Paris is the city of love, isn't it?
13:44Oh, I know. I'm just saying, like, you know, it's all just a little too good to be true.
13:50And no red flags is actually a red flag in and of itself.
13:54What if you're looking for some problems where there are none?
13:57I mean, do you really want to let a great romance just slip through your fingers just because you were too skeptical?
14:04Well, skeptical or savvy. I mean, yes, I want to experience a transcendent love, but I...
14:10Oh, my God!
14:11What?
14:12That woman over there with the glowing skin and piercing eyes.
14:18Well, she was my date number one, and it was so romantic.
14:22And at the end, we kissed, and it was so perfect, until...
14:26She burst into tears. I have been there.
14:29No, I got bloody nose. It happens when I get really excited.
14:34It was like a crime scene. There was an ambulance. I was so embarrassed.
14:39And now, here she is, dancing with someone who was decidedly not pleading from her nose.
14:45Why don't you give up? I mean, what happened to that hopeless romantic that almost had me convinced that those red flags were actually green?
14:54Well, they are green, and hopeless romantics do exist. We exist.
14:59When I look at her, everyone just falls away.
15:09If you really feel that way, you've got to do something about it.
15:13Well, like what? Hmm.
15:18I'll think of something.
15:21Oh, she's looking this way.
15:23If I have to take another Saturday meeting with one more cheating spouse who, out of the blue, wants a post-up, I'll burst.
15:30When I make partner, there's going to be some big changes at that firm, I can tell you that.
15:35Sounds like the lady will be having wine with her chicken nuggets.
15:37Oh, a heavy pour, please.
15:39No word from Kate.
15:41I wish she'd just location share, and we wouldn't have to have this daily struggle.
15:45You know, Kate and her boundaries.
15:47Well, it's maddening. I just want to help. It feels like such a waste not to let me.
15:51I'm sure you'll get your chance to meddle.
15:53I mean, help.
15:55Oh, very soon.
15:56Hmm.
15:58Well, I'm off.
15:59What?
16:00George's garden revealed him.
16:02Oh.
16:03Yes.
16:04Right, no, I absolutely hadn't forgotten that.
16:07Go, enjoy talking toki-rees.
16:10Oh, Ben?
16:11Yes, love?
16:12It's our firstborn, wearing pants on her head.
16:15Indeed.
16:16Have fun.
16:17Rightio.
16:19Cheers.
16:21I can't see you.
16:22I'm in the garden.
16:24Where?
16:25By the hedge.
16:26I'm looking at the hedge.
16:28I'm in here.
16:29Wait, hold, wait, wait.
16:30I'm on my way.
16:31That'll be your homing device.
16:34Oh, my gosh, what happened to you?
16:36Well, I was just doing a bit of ice skating, and I couldn't quite land the triple axel.
16:39What do you think happened?
16:40Here, let me give you a hand up.
16:42Oh, my God, you're heavy.
16:44Oh, my God, let me...
16:45Oh!
16:47Oh!
16:51Sorry.
16:55Um...
16:56I was...
16:57I was just trying to help and...
16:58Any more help like that, and I'll die here.
17:01Oh, my God.
17:03Oh, come on.
17:04Oh, my God.
17:06Oh, my God.
17:07I'll be up with you.
17:08There.
17:09You see?
17:10Years of aerobic exercise, yoga, core strength.
17:14So, if you want me to get you up, you're going to have to take up yoga.
17:17Now is not the time for jokes.
17:18Twice a week.
17:20Just help me up.
17:21Three times.
17:23Fine, fine.
17:24Just get me up.
17:26Babe.
17:27Babe.
17:29Babe.
17:31I just secured you a spot at the third annual Christmas Pop-Up Palooza.
17:35You're welcome, handsome.
17:36The what now?
17:37Pop-Up Palooza.
17:38Every year, tastemaker restaurants and bakeries from all around the South East sponsor a Pop-Up
17:43to showcase a seasonal dish.
17:45It's huge.
17:46Gets massive press.
17:47One of these days, I'm going to understand what you're talking about.
17:50I'm talking about several hundred hungry mouths traipsing to the pear tree for your...
17:54Wait for it.
17:56Posh Pie Pop-Up.
17:59See what I did there?
18:00Alliteration.
18:01It's great for marketing.
18:02It's not really a pop-up though, is it?
18:04The pear tree's not a limited-time thing.
18:06No, but your Posh Pies are.
18:08Nah.
18:09What do you mean, nah?
18:12Do you know where this could lead?
18:13I'm talking gourmet collabs, license distribution, catering empire.
18:18It is quite literally the dream.
18:20I'm living my dream right now.
18:21I'm feeding the people of Blacksford like my mum did before me.
18:24Only now I get to do it with you.
18:31Guess I'm doing this, huh?
18:33You will thank me later.
18:35Trust me.
18:36All right, go on.
18:37Get out of my kitchen.
18:38Good day, fair maidens.
18:39I'm terribly sorry to interrupt your revels.
18:43Oh.
18:44Are we part of the performance?
18:45I adore cosplay.
18:46Oh, yes.
18:47Actually, Drew sent me, yes.
18:48Apparently there's a bit of a slight problem with your costume.
18:50I'm afraid it's part of a suspected costume.
18:51Infstations.
18:52Yes.
18:53Yes.
18:54Yes.
18:55A little too Dickensian.
18:56Am I right?
18:57Yes.
18:58Yes.
18:59A little too Dickensian.
19:00Am I right?
19:01Lucky for you, there is someone here who would love a do-over.
19:02Yes, actually.
19:03Drew sent me.
19:04Yes.
19:05Apparently, there's a slight problem with your costume.
19:08I'm afraid it's part of a suspected infstations.
19:16Yes.
19:17A little too Dickensian.
19:21Am I right?
19:26Lucky for you, there is someone here
19:28who would love a do-over.
19:32Enjoy.
19:56Yep, this dance floor is taken.
20:02I'll come.
20:02Thanks.
20:26All right, let's meet.
20:40Oh!
20:40Oh, you big baby.
20:43Well, if you think this is pain, don't forget,
20:45you promised me a yoga class.
20:51Why didn't you call Kate?
20:54I wouldn't want to give her the satisfaction
20:55you're saying, I told you so.
20:57I don't blame you.
20:59My kids think that I've lost my mind.
21:01They keep trying to put all these guardrails around me.
21:03So they're judging me to somehow better than ours.
21:06They should learn to sort out their own lives.
21:08I'm tired of it.
21:09Oh, you're right about that.
21:11With that being said,
21:13you did fall.
21:15I said I was tired of it, not that I was right.
21:23Kate, you're a matchmaker.
21:24I never thought I would live to see the day
21:26Kate Tucker believes in love.
21:29Believe in love, you guys.
21:30It's not the Loch Ness Monster.
21:32It's just rare, you know?
21:34It's one in a million.
21:35It's a shot in the dark,
21:36and it's a stab in the...
21:38knife.
21:40You know what I mean.
21:41I know that it's real.
21:44I mean, look at Laura and Ben.
21:45They're obsessed with each other.
21:46Ach, truly disgusting.
21:47Actually.
21:51And you guys are so gross as well.
21:55We try.
21:55Well, excuse me while I go bake five million pies.
21:58The old posh pie pop-up, eh?
22:01Bloody stupid name.
22:04Krabby.
22:05I know.
22:05It was presumptuous of me to just sign him up,
22:07but I want everyone to know how talented he is.
22:10I am a little surprised that he's actually going through with it, though.
22:13Well, if Callum says he's going to do something,
22:15he will follow through every time.
22:17Decidedly not like my ex.
22:19Indecision was that man's middle name.
22:25Bad news?
22:27I think it's good news.
22:28I don't know.
22:30I'm on an emotional roller coaster,
22:32and I'm a little bit queasy.
22:33What's wrong?
22:34Well, I've been texting with this guy, Richard, right?
22:37And at first I was like, absolutely not.
22:39And then something shifted along the way
22:41because now he says things like,
22:43I'm going to wear a beret the first time we meet,
22:45and I'm not totally horrified,
22:46so I don't even know who I am anymore.
22:49And now we're supposed to meet at this Dates with Mates.
22:52Like what is Dates with Mates?
22:54Date 5, a joyous affair
22:56where you bring your friends and they play matchmaker.
22:58Oh, wow.
23:00That sounds absolutely horrific.
23:02Yeah.
23:03Can I come?
23:04Why is everyone enjoying this so much?
23:07Oh, blasted oven.
23:10Babe, we're going on Kate's next date.
23:12Uh, hard pass.
23:14But before I forget,
23:14can you ask your dad to come look at the ovens?
23:16We'll need to start putting up the lights.
23:18Any time will do.
23:19What do you mean when he's done with the lights?
23:21Did you see him doing that?
23:24Uh, yeah.
23:25Earlier today.
23:30Dad?
23:30In here.
23:31You were supposed to wait for me.
23:35Oh my God, what happened?
23:37Just a little tumble.
23:38I'm fine.
23:38Dad, what were you thinking?
23:40You told me that you were going to wait.
23:42You could have killed yourself.
23:43First you want me to get out of the easy chair,
23:45then you complain when I do.
23:46This is exactly why I can't trust you.
23:48Because you tell me that you're going to do something
23:50and then you don't do it.
23:51I am exhausted.
23:52I cannot relax for five seconds.
23:55That's it.
23:56I'm putting in cameras.
23:57Nobody asked you to worry, Kate.
23:59I don't need surveillance.
24:00I don't need a babysitter.
24:02I'm not a child.
24:03Then stop acting like one.
24:08Hi.
24:10I didn't know that you had company.
24:13Was there a Latin aerobics class in the living room?
24:16Or...
24:17No, just a little ice skating.
24:20That's all.
24:21Good night, both of you.
24:22I'll admit it wasn't my best idea.
24:34And I got myself into a mess.
24:36But I got myself out of it.
24:39That's all that matters, isn't it?
24:44All right, Dad.
24:45I got myself out of it.
25:15I can't wait to see you tonight.
25:28Still in Paris.
25:30Finding inspiration everywhere.
25:45Not Paris, but still pretty spectacular.
25:53Not Paris, but still pretty spectacular.
25:53I got myself out of it.
26:19Hi.
26:21Sorry, I... I made this.
26:26Lovely. Now be a dove and get off my roof.
26:30Straight away.
26:51Kate and mates, welcome to Dates with Mates.
26:54Laura, we spoke on the phone?
26:56More than once.
26:58Now, here's how it works.
27:00The green wristbands are for our daters looking for love
27:03and the red wristbands are for their mates.
27:07It's a mix-up, but your mates play matchmaker.
27:10And before you complain, you picked your friends, I did not.
27:15Have fun.
27:21Oh, that's fixed.
27:23Really?
27:24Oh, here.
27:26Your evening, Tipple.
27:30So, no dates with mates for you tonight, then?
27:32Oh, God, no. It feels weird.
27:34Your friends picking your dates.
27:35In my day, you just met a pretty girl and you fell in love.
27:38All this dating stuff.
27:40I suppose it has taken Kate's laser focus off me for a bit,
27:43so I'm grateful for it.
27:44Kate, she's a thorny rose.
27:46Doesn't exactly wear a heart on her sleeve, does she?
27:48Yeah, she's in good hands with Laura tonight.
27:50And they don't need me.
27:59Oh, God.
28:00I think you can look up for me.
28:05See you soon.
28:07Are you kidding about the beret?
28:09Kate? Kate?
28:11Gary? Gary? Kate?
28:13Gary loves sports.
28:14What do you play? Rugby?
28:16Pickleball mostly, but my true passion is the piccolo.
28:21No, no, no.
28:23This is Geoffrey.
28:25It's pronounced Joffrey.
28:27Like Game of Thrones.
28:28I'm a big fan.
28:29Changed my name.
28:30I used to be called Paul.
28:31I'm really into good health, you know.
28:33I eat a lot of sauerkraut.
28:35Juan.
28:36Craig.
28:37Ming.
28:38Ever heard someone nose whistle?
28:45Pablo.
28:46Preston.
28:47Patrick.
28:49You know, technically brushing your teeth is unnecessary.
28:53Raj?
28:54Do you have a car I can borrow?
28:57Uh...
29:03Peter.
29:06How do you feel about underground bunkers?
29:08There go my dreams of finding you a match.
29:25This is excruciating.
29:26Says the woman who forced me into this.
29:28Fine.
29:29Well, let it be said, on this day, the 12th of...
29:33Oh my God, it's December 14th.
29:35But your anniversary...
29:38My God!
29:39Richard, we have...
29:40It's fine.
29:41Just go.
29:42Are you sure?
29:43Go, go, go, go, go.
29:48Kate.
29:50Oh, uh, Oliver.
29:52Hey.
29:53I took your advice about telling my ex how I felt.
29:55She wouldn't take my call.
29:56I feel a bit rubbish actually.
29:58I'm sorry.
29:59How about you?
30:00Well, I just let myself get excited about some guy that I've never even met.
30:04And I'm kicking myself because, you know, I knew better.
30:07I mean, I still know better.
30:08It's...
30:09Don't say that.
30:10Love is worth it.
30:12Even if it stomps you down and drives you crazy.
30:15It's worth it.
30:16Yeah.
30:18Was that a beret?
30:23Hey, hey, hey, hey!
30:25Hey!
30:26Hey!
30:27You think you can stand me up again?
30:28Unbelievable.
30:29You know, I knew you were too good to be true.
30:31Yeah.
30:32With your...
30:33Your clever little text and your...
30:35Saying the perfect thing at the perfect time.
30:37Yeah.
30:38Well, I saw right through you.
30:39From the very beginning.
30:40Yeah.
30:41I don't think so.
30:42What do you have to say for yourself?
30:44I think you got the wrong guy.
30:46Great speech, though.
30:47Cinematic.
30:48Kate?
30:50Richard.
30:51Fogget Heathrow.
31:01Did you get my text?
31:03Your text?
31:12Fogget Heathrow.
31:15On my way.
31:16Not standing up again.
31:18Don't leave.
31:23Can I buy you a drink?
31:28So, you think my texts are clever?
31:32Did I say that?
31:38Yeah, I don't usually get all worked up, you know, like that.
31:41I mean, sure, I've been known to monologue on the occasion,
31:45but, you know, I, I mean, in my defense,
31:48I did, you know, think you were standing me up again.
31:50Oh, I completely get it.
31:52I made a promise and I didn't follow through.
31:54I should have worn the beret.
31:56Yes, you should have.
31:59Sorry, it's just so weird, you know,
32:01finally putting a face to the voice in my head.
32:04And how do I measure up?
32:06Good. I mean, you know, fine.
32:09Oh, I, um, got you something.
32:12A little memento.
32:14The city of love.
32:16Oh, my God, you didn't have to do that.
32:18It's nothing fancy, but you're on my mind.
32:23Thanks.
32:24Kate, I just saw my ex.
32:26He's here.
32:27Oh?
32:28Uh, Sarah, this is Richard.
32:30Hi.
32:31Whoa.
32:32Wow.
32:33Done, Kate.
32:34Okay.
32:36Anyway, I have to leave.
32:38Now.
32:39Okay, well...
32:40Sarah!
32:41Oli.
32:42It's so good to see you.
32:45Are you part of the 12 dates?
32:48Is this one of your dates?
32:52Actually, I'm with her.
32:54Is this the guy?
32:57But you two know each other.
32:58We went ice skating.
32:59You two dated.
33:00Sorry.
33:01Is Sarah your ex?
33:02I think this might be a good time for me to get more drinks.
33:04Oh, yeah.
33:05Perhaps I'll just come with you and you two can catch up.
33:06Nope.
33:07No, there's nothing to talk about.
33:08Sarah, please.
33:09I miss you.
33:10I'll do anything.
33:11Callum.
33:12Hey.
33:13Who's Callum?
33:14Her boyfriend and my best friend.
33:16Hey!
33:17Oh!
33:18What did I miss?
33:19He's here.
33:20Callum.
33:21I'm Oliver.
33:22I'm, um...
33:23Kate's ice skating date.
33:24Oh, yeah.
33:25I think this might be a good time for me to get more drinks.
33:26Oh, yeah.
33:27Perhaps I'll just come with you and you two can catch up.
33:29Nope.
33:30Nope.
33:31There's nothing to talk about.
33:32Sarah, please.
33:33I miss you.
33:34I'll do anything.
33:35Callum.
33:36Hey.
33:37Who's Callum?
33:38Um...
33:39Kate's ice skating date.
33:42Oh.
33:43Now that you have, buy me a drink.
33:48Bye.
33:50Oh, this is bad.
33:52Yeah.
33:54It's dreadful.
33:55Let's get you some tissues.
34:08I'm completely and utterly daft.
34:15That makes two of us.
34:19I didn't remember until they read the date on the evening news.
34:22Oh.
34:25How was tonight?
34:26I'd say a total bust all round.
34:29I thought it was going to be fun getting a peek at the single life, but...
34:33Not as fun and flirty as you hoped.
34:35Not at all.
34:37It was hot and loud.
34:40Nobody was worthy of my Kate.
34:42But...
34:44There was so much possibility in the air.
34:46Like...
34:48Just think...
34:50Someone might have fallen in love tonight.
34:51Or met the person who's going to be their lifetime partner in crime.
34:54Lucky ducks.
34:57Felt good to be on that side of the equation for a change.
35:06Happy anniversary.
35:08Come here.
35:15I'm glad I married you.
35:18Yeah, you'll do.
35:19I thought we were baking tonight.
35:24No, the oven's busted.
35:25Plus, I was thinking, it's actually a big deal for her.
35:28I felt like I should support.
35:30She must feel sorry for him.
35:32Who?
35:33The bloke she went ice game with.
35:34Oliver?
35:35Yeah, he spent the entire day crying over his ex.
35:37Good enough for showing up, though.
35:41I knew she'd moved on, but seeing them together...
35:45I have to speak to her and apologise.
35:46No.
35:48I owe her something more.
35:50A big gesture.
35:52Romantic.
35:53Epic.
35:54Like getting up on this table and...
35:55No, no, no.
35:56Don't do that.
35:57It's much too small for us.
35:58This is for you.
35:59Thank you so much.
36:06Wait a minute.
36:07Kate's juggling two days at once.
36:08What is this?
36:09Love Island?
36:11Hold on.
36:13That's the Romeo with the flower from the cafe.
36:14It's quite nice.
36:18What are you doing?
36:19Laura's not here.
36:20She needs a wingman.
36:24Hello, gents.
36:26What's going on here?
36:27Not much.
36:28Just heartbreaking agony.
36:31That's funny.
36:35He's kidding.
36:37Kate?
36:38Or what?
36:39Sorry, guys.
36:40Girl chat.
36:41You've got to get him out of here.
36:42Callum?
36:43Oliver.
36:44I've already tried.
36:45Callum's determined to stay and support you, so...
36:47Ollie looks so sad.
36:48He is sad.
36:49He's a very, very sad man.
36:50He just desperately wants to talk to you.
36:52Oh, a tough break, mate.
36:53I've definitely been there.
36:54The important thing is to get back out there.
36:55His emotions seem reasonable.
36:56His ex is here with another man.
36:57No, you're kidding.
36:58Oh, that's brutal.
36:59Brutal.
37:00Brutal.
37:01Brutal.
37:02Mental images.
37:03I'm gonna go find a bucket to drown myself in.
37:06Well, I hope your night's been better than that.
37:09I hope you're night's been better than that.
37:11I hope you're night's been better than that.
37:12It's a very, very sad man.
37:13He just desperately wants to talk to you.
37:14Oh, a tough break, mate.
37:15I've definitely been there.
37:16The important thing is to get back out there.
37:17His emotions seem reasonable.
37:18His ex is here with another man.
37:19No, you're kidding.
37:20Oh, that's brutal.
37:21Brutal.
37:22Mental images.
37:23I'm gonna go find a bucket to drown myself in.
37:27Well, I hope your night's been better than that.
37:31Not sure yet.
37:33I remember you from the cafe.
37:37You had a flower waiting for cake.
37:41Oh.
37:42I own the place.
37:44Oh, right.
37:46A great latte.
37:48Very frothy.
37:51We, um, try.
37:53Maybe it'll give you some closure or something.
37:58I have closure.
37:59Okay.
38:00I'm staying out of it.
38:01Five minutes.
38:02That's all I'm asking.
38:04Can you please keep Callum busy?
38:09Please, I have to talk to him to end this.
38:16I've got five minutes, Ollie.
38:21Everywhere I go, I'm reminded of you.
38:23Of us.
38:24I'll be walking through Hyde Park and I'll think, oh, when spring comes, I'll bring Sarah here for a boozy picnic.
38:29I'd lay down that throw, you love, that we got in liberties and we'd be those people in love that everyone looks at and wishes they could be.
38:37That's cute, Ollie.
38:39But picnics weren't our problem.
38:42No, you're right.
38:43What I'm trying to say is, I couldn't imagine a future before.
38:49It scared me.
38:51And now, it's all I can think about.
38:56And I can't see a future without you in it.
38:58It's too late.
38:59No.
39:01It's not.
39:03So she was full on emo, but I mean, Blex had never seen anything like it.
39:06It really was not that crazy.
39:08She got detention when she came to school with her lip ring.
39:10A fake lip ring.
39:12That sounds pretty cool to me.
39:17Time for another drink, yeah?
39:18Gonna find Sarah.
39:20You know what?
39:21I will get the drinks.
39:22You just stay here.
39:23Okay?
39:24Don't move.
39:25Stay here and relax.
39:26Don't move.
39:32That sort of behaviour is not tolerated on 12 days.
39:37Right.
39:39That sort of whistling?
39:40Not appreciated.
39:41Time to go.
39:45So he said all the right things.
39:47But it doesn't change the past.
39:49And I simply cannot rely on Ollie to do what he says.
39:52So it doesn't matter anyway.
39:54Well, what are you gonna tell Callum?
39:55Nothing.
39:57There's nothing to tell.
39:58The fact that you don't want to tell Callum anything is exactly the reason why you should.
40:01There you are.
40:03Sorry.
40:04Had to take a call.
40:10Where's Richard?
40:11He had to go.
40:12He said he'd text you.
40:14Ugh.
40:15Unbelievable.
40:19Hey!
40:20Hey!
40:21Hey!
40:22Are you seriously leaving right now?
40:23You had a lot going on then.
40:24I know.
40:25And I know it may not seem like it, but I really just wanted to talk to you.
40:29Now I'm out here in the freezing cold for the second time tonight like a crazy person,
40:34trying to figure out if this could be something.
40:38But you keep leaving.
40:41It just didn't feel like our moment.
40:44And...
40:45You're the only one that I wanted to be with.
40:49Oh, we can't be, it's too soon for that.
40:51Send me a cupid, baby.
40:52And make sure it's fast.
40:53Someone save me.
40:54Can't do this time of year.
40:55No, without you, my dear.
40:56When you're gone, it all turns to black.
40:57It can't be Christmas.
40:58I must be dreaming.
40:59I see the snow.
41:00Nobody's home.
41:01Say it ain't true.
41:02It can't be Christmas without you.
41:04No, without you, my dear.
41:05No, without you, my dear.
41:06When you're gone, it all turns to black.
41:09It can't be Christmas.
41:13I must be dreaming.
41:17I see the snow.
41:19Nobody's home.
41:21Say it ain't true.
41:24It can't be Christmas without you.
41:27It can't be Christmas without you.
41:57No, without you.
41:58No, without you.
41:59No, without you.
42:00We'll see you next time.
42:01My friend is going to get it.
42:03You're the only one.
42:05You're the only one.
42:06You're the only one.
42:08Visiting a tree.
42:11Shining or the old woman,
42:13we'll see you coming back till we're going.
42:14Hey.
42:15We'll see you next time.
42:16Hmm.
42:17Bye.
42:18Bye.
42:19Bye.
42:20Bye.
42:22Bye.
42:23Bye.
42:24Bye.
42:26Bye.
