00:00Thank you so much for watching.
00:30I hear you. What have you been told? They've been un-left of your party if you keep scoffing
00:43them. Sorry. Not sorry. That's the last thing he needs is more sugar. I know it's Kenzie's
00:52party, but as high as a kite as it is, I'd, eh, Bob say when he'd be back. Can you see
01:04me, wee man? Well, good, cos for a wee minute there I thought I was invisible. Are you
01:11going to be like this all day? Ah, well, let's go to just be me and you then, teddy boy.
01:22Oh no, not again. That is the third time of the day you'd think he would be empty.
01:30What are you feeding him? Cat food. And I'm out of leggings. You know what, I need to take
01:35him home and change him. Right, I'll be back in ten. And I know that you're still annoyed
01:42but can we at least have a wee chat before the rest of the party folk get here? What's
01:46left to say? Well, I wanted to. Morning. Oh, if that's you, you need to go to the doctor.
01:53I know. I'll be back pronto. So, apart from the Ross Rouge, it looks like you've got
02:02everything organised. Aye, need to blow up some balloons, fill up some party bags and then
02:08I'm collecting the cake. What time's the entertainment getting here? Ah. Right, erm, so here's the
02:16thing. There you are. I've been looking for you. Checking up on me. I'm not doing anything
02:31I shouldn't be. Look, I know that. I'm sorry for not trusting you. It's fine. You've apologised
02:38already. Aye, but I still want to make it up to you. So that's what I wanted to tell you.
02:43I'm going to run the Santa Dash. Yeah, you said. No, what I meant was that I'm going to
02:49run it for you. For a charity of your choice. That's actually very cool. I'm going to do
02:55it for your favourite addiction charity too. What do you think? I think it's a great idea.
02:59Go for it. I'm going to raise hundreds of cash and sponsorship. No, in fact, I am going
03:04to raise the most money out of all the runners. That's amazing, but I'm sure they'll appreciate
03:08whatever you can raise. No, no, I've said it now. The most money out of all the runners,
03:12charity deserves it, son. I think you might struggle. Oh, eh? You don't think I can run
03:17the lend of myself? No, no, not with the running, with the sponsorship. I've heard Karen's been
03:21doing really well with getting folk on board with her charity. Oh, you think I cannae beat
03:25her? I don't know. Let me tell you, I'll wipe the floor with Karen and ring out what's left
03:32in a manky bucket. OK. Well, good luck. Luck's got nothing to do
03:37it, son. I'm glad Dean had to go pick up the cake. Did you see the daggers he was giving
03:47me? What did you expect? He'd already told Kenzie that there was a special guest coming.
03:53I know. I said I was sorry. What did your mate say exactly? He got the date wrong. How'd you get
04:01the dates wrong at Christmas? Thought was he planning on turning up in Good Friday dressed as
04:04Easter Bunny? He thought the party was tomorrow, so he went out last night and got on one. And he
04:10can't entertain with a hangover? He did not go home. He's still hammered. Well, I know who's
04:15going to hammer him? Bob when he comes back and finds out. Come on. It's Christmas time. Good will
04:21to all men and all that. Good luck saying that to Bob. Soon he's going to find himself stuck in a
04:28small flat with a handful of mental eight-year-olds jacked up to the nines and suites with nothing
04:33to entertain them. What am I supposed to do about it? Maybe you could give Sam a phone, see if he's got
04:40somebody in his books last minute. Ah, he was too expensive. And anyway, who's not working at
04:45Christmas time? We'll end up with that 85-year-old Tony Bennet impersonator with the one leg.
04:50Which is ironic, cos he's got no toe and no knee. Well, we're going to need somebody here
04:55in the next hour, so is there any point ringing about? Nah, there's pointless. We could put
05:00a movie on for them. I mean, it's not what I promised, but... Oh, the kids will be happy
05:05with that. Aye. They're more resilient than you think. What did you get for your birthday,
05:10Kenzie? Big box of disappointment. Well, maybe there is something we could do. What?
05:17Apply them with even more sugar and hope they pass out by the sugar high? If I go now and
05:24I hurry, I think I can still sort this. Really? Aye. It's Christmas time. Let's hope for a miracle.
05:31I've just had a phone call with the council. Good for you. I've just had a sleepless night
05:50with a screaming baby. The usual, please. Kids, yeah. Love a couple someday. So, anyway,
05:57your little petition to save the oyster. It's fallen short of the threshold for them
06:03even to consider it. Well shot, he said. And I've just had a very positive meeting with
06:09the planning department. Looks like I'm going to get the go-ahead to completely renovate
06:13the oyster. I wouldn't be so sure about that. We've recently discovered the oyster is a historically
06:17protected building. Not according to my people. You know, the people that actually matter.
06:22They don't think they'll have any problem getting the planning permission. Bits of special interest
06:26to the community. According to the council, not, isn't it? They say it's not listed and
06:32it's got no special and conservation status. And even if it did, I shake the right hands
06:38and Bob's your uncle. But it's special to us. But you're living in the past. You know, people
06:45don't want a cup of builder's tea and a scabby old calf. They want freshly roasted coffee beans.
06:50Great value in a clean, contemporary surrounding. And that is exactly what I'm going to give
06:56them.
06:56What a completely soulless experience that they could get in any coffee chain on any
07:00high street in the world.
07:01And those coffee shops are always packed out. Because people, people want consistency.
07:06They want to know exactly what they're getting at a price point they know they can afford.
07:10Ugh, your aim is to make life more boring. Making money is many things. It's never boring.
07:17Well, I certainly won't be going there and I'm sure most of Shale Dench won't either.
07:21Well, it's a pity. The first espresso was on me. Looks like you could deal with the caffeine.
07:35What did he want?
07:39Is that your sponsorship form?
07:44Ma?
07:45Not many on it.
07:47Oh, no, when you're trying to get sponsored. I've been running off of Shale Dench, you
07:52know, I keep hearing this. Oh, sorry, I've already sponsored somebody.
07:54Well, folk just have now got the money.
07:56What about you? Will you sponsor me?
07:58Eh, well, I've already sponsored somebody.
08:01Ma!
08:02Well, I meant put me down for a fiver.
08:04A fiver?
08:05Aye, all right. A tenner then.
08:08So, how much is that in total?
08:10Well, with your tenner and a tenner for Chris, that makes a grand total of twenty.
08:18Well, if you cannae get individuals to sponsor you, you're just gonna have to think out the
08:23box like Karen has.
08:32Who you off to?
08:33Eh, I need to get to work, but the cake's been safely delivered. At least that bit of the
08:37party's got a plan.
08:38What do you mean?
08:39Getting a tenner.
08:40Chris booked.
08:41He went in a mad bender last night.
08:42Kelly Marie said Chris has got to sort it out, though.
08:44Eh, so why the panic?
08:45The guy's not answering his phone.
08:47They're gonna have to drag him out of the pub.
08:48He's half his face.
08:49They waiting to be disappointed.
08:50Can you juggle?
08:51No.
08:52Magic tricks.
08:53Plate spinning.
08:54That thing where it looks like your thumb's coming.
08:56I'm phoning Chris again.
08:57Eh, before you do, like what I was saying earlier, I know you're still disappointed
09:02about not getting into the police.
09:04Yeah.
09:05Aye, but there's nothing I can do about that except say sorry.
09:09Whatever.
09:10And I cannae change the fact that I've fallen in love with Amber.
09:14And if me and Amber hadn't got together then Teddy wouldn't exist and I know you wouldn't
09:18want that.
09:19Course not.
09:21I'm his favourite uncle, am I?
09:29Come on, what are you doing wasting time the wee man going for him, Chris?
09:32And me and you will get into this madness.
09:38He's been on the Guinness again.
09:43That was even worse than last time.
09:46Right.
09:47Let's get you home again.
09:49Where did you come from, where did you go?
09:51Where did you come from carnage?
09:52Where did you come from carnage?
09:55I've been married long time ago.
09:56Where did you come from, where did you go?
09:59Where did you come from carnage?
10:03Oh, still man.
10:04Well you's even getting a hud of Santa.
10:06There's pure carnage over there by the way.
10:10One of the reasons they've not talked the place yet is because I managed to found that
10:13extra six pack of monster munch.
10:15What am I supposed to do?
10:16Don't ask me. I've already tried musical statues,
10:20pass the parcel, put the trail in the rain, dear.
10:22My bum's poor bleeding.
10:23Right, well, maybe we should tell them there isn't a special guest.
10:26What, and break Kensie's hat?
10:27Mind you, better break his hat and break up his sofa.
10:33Help me!
10:34We want a special guest! We want a special guest!
10:39We want a special guest! We want a special guest!
10:41We want a special guest! We want a special guest!
10:45What's the end of the year on Christmas book?
10:47Er, he's just struddin' a wee bit later.
10:50Well, we've got to get here soon.
10:51See, the thing is, see when he gets here, he might be berry merry.
10:55So should be, that's what I'm buying him for.
10:56No, but what they're saying is he might be full of the Christmas spirit.
11:01Well, at least somebody will be. These wings are the man-er-tin'.
11:04I'm gonna answer that.
11:06Right, kids, everybody on the couch, come on.
11:08Come on, here we go, here we go.
11:10Right, listen up, guys.
11:11The special guest is at the front door!
11:14Yeah!
11:16Is it gonna be Spider-Man?
11:18Yeah!
11:19Or Superman?
11:21Yeah!
11:22Or maybe even Batman?
11:24Yeah!
11:26Wow, it's...
11:33What is that?
11:36Told you it was gonna be a superhero!
11:38He did.
11:44Talk of really getting behind the Santa Dash, it's impressive, eh?
11:47Yeah, well, they certainly raise more money than what I have, but...
11:51Oh, I know, I'm sorry.
11:52I've already sponsored somebody.
11:54Just let everybody, eh?
11:56Well, the B-Pot are donating 50 pence of every purchase to the charity.
12:00What charity?
12:01Hmm, whatever Karen's charity is.
12:03She made a deal with him.
12:04Well, how'd she do that?
12:05I imagine she'd just asked him.
12:07The vintage store are doing the same thing.
12:09Who are we now?
12:10Aye.
12:1120% of everything off that Santa Dash rail is going to Karen.
12:13So, Karen's got this whole place working for now?
12:16Well, we're a charity.
12:18Right, well, I'll...
12:19I'll get Kayla Marie on my side.
12:20Eh, it's too late.
12:24Well, that's going to Karen and all.
12:26She's a smart cookie.
12:28She's gonna raise a fortune.
12:30Well, it's great, innit?
12:31Is it hell?
12:32One, two, three, four!
12:37I wasn't sure about him to begin with, but...
12:55The wien's a lovin' it.
12:57Aye, he's brilliant.
12:59Oh, look at Kenji's wee face.
13:03Oh, no, no, I don't think she'd be doing that.
13:32No, no, I...
13:34No, I think that's a bit much, but I have a wee word.
13:36Aye, that's enough now, Mr Grinch.
13:39Oh!
13:40There's nae need for that!
13:47Right, go out and get Chris.
13:49He needs to get his mad mate under control.
13:51Mate, show's over.
13:54Oh!
13:55Oh!
13:56Oh!
13:57Oh!
13:58Oh!
13:59I see it!
14:00The show's over!
14:01Right!
14:02Oh!
14:03But, but get off him!
14:04They're freaking in the wien's!
14:05Where's Chris?
14:06Get him on the phone, right now!
14:08Well, that's what I'm doing!
14:09Oh!
14:10Oh!
14:11Right!
14:12Happy birthday, Kenji!
14:13Oh!
14:14Oh!
14:19Happy birthday again, Zay!
14:21Happy birthday again, Zee!
14:33Alright?
14:35I should be asking you that.
14:37So this is why you don't need to turn up for your shift at Molly's?
14:40I was gonna call you about that.
14:42When?
14:43Once I got going.
14:45Going where?
14:46I'm leaving Shugman.
14:47Oh, you're no...
14:48Look, the taxi's on its way.
14:50You're gone now.
14:51Aye, in two minutes.
14:53Now, considering everything I've done for you, we're no even gonna say goodbye.
15:02Who did this to you?
15:04At least tell me why.
15:06I'm gonna miss my taxi.
15:08Well then, you better make it quick.
15:11This was the actual nightmare before Christmas.
15:15Those kids won't sleep for a week.
15:17To be fair, my mate would have been better.
15:19Yeah.
15:20He does it for a living.
15:21Couldn't it be much worse?
15:22Eh, unless you took a dump in the kitchen.
15:24That's Teddy's gig.
15:25So, why was your mate not here?
15:27Well, there was a mix-up with the dates.
15:29He got mad with it last night, which ran into this morning, which ran into the afternoon.
15:34He's totally mangled.
15:36Like my flat?
15:37Worse.
15:38But I couldn't bear the thought of letting Kenzie down.
15:41So his flatmate let me borrow a costume.
15:45But why did you go nuts?
15:47We've not seen the viral videos.
15:50That's what the Grinch does.
15:52He comes in and messes the place up.
15:55You wrecked the place, man.
15:56I thought it would be funny, but I got a bit carried away.
16:01I've never done it before.
16:02But did you not see Kenzie was upset?
16:04I couldn't see it out of the mask.
16:06I thought they were all laughing.
16:07Then you launched me onto the couch.
16:10I thought you were a kid.
16:12Eh.
16:13Not the best excuse.
16:21What is it?
16:25It's knackered.
16:27What is?
16:30I bought this for Kim's birthday.
16:34You've broken me.
16:36I'm really sorry.
16:38I'll get it fixed.
16:40It's too late for that.
16:50What's that?
16:52It's Kim's handwriting.
16:58I just need a fresh start.
17:00Where are you planning on going?
17:01I might go and see Nicole.
17:02And what are you going to do for money?
17:03I haven't got that far yet.
17:05I'll sort something out.
17:06You see?
17:07You've no thought this through.
17:08No, I need to go.
17:09No, you don't.
17:10I do.
17:13Connor.
17:14Who's told you to leave?
17:16You know I can help you.
17:17It's too late for that, Tommy.
17:20You're a good lad.
17:21You've really helped me out.
17:22You deserve a bonus.
17:25Here.
17:26Take that.
17:27Take that.
17:28And I'll put the rest of this month's beer into your account.
17:31This is really going to help.
17:33Yeah, that's what mates do, eh?
17:34They help each other.
17:35Look.
17:36You know how you said Roisin's been acting a bit weird lately?
17:38Aye.
17:39Well, trust her got on that.
17:40What do you mean?
17:41I'm sorry, Tommy.
17:42But if you know something, you need to tell me now.
17:44Connor, please!
17:45There you go down.
17:47I know it can.
17:48What can I get you?
17:49Oh, no, you're okay.
17:50I heard you were at the market looking for sponsorship.
17:51Aye, I was.
17:53But I'm really sorry but I've already sponsored someone.
17:56I know it can.
17:57What can I get you?
17:58Oh, no.
17:59You're okay.
18:00Ehm, I heard you were at the market looking for sponsorship.
18:01Aye, I was but...
18:02I'm really sorry but I've already sponsored someone.
18:05I know it can
18:09What can I get you?
18:11Oh no you're okay
18:12I heard you were at the market looking for sponsorship
18:15Aye I was but
18:16I'm really sorry but I've already sponsored someone
18:18No I don't need your sponsorship no
18:20But what I did notice was all the Santa Dash signs everywhere
18:24At the B Pot, the Vintage Stall
18:26Even Kelly Marie's
18:27Yeah well they've all been really generous
18:29And it's all going to your charity
18:31And that's the idea
18:33Do you not think you've gone a bit overboard
18:36Some of yous are trying to raise money and all
18:37Are you struggling for sponsors?
18:40No I'm not I'm not struggling
18:42It just seems a bit unfair that you've monopolised the whole of the Shield inch
18:45It's so unfair of me raising all this money for charity
18:49Aye but some of yous are trying to raise money and all
18:51And you've got your paws on most of it
18:53You've not managed to raise very much
18:55Well I mean that's a pity for your charity
18:58Well listen if you must know
18:59It's been going quite well actually
19:01Well how much have you raised?
19:03Five hundred pounds
19:04Five hundred?
19:06And change
19:07Yeah well that's great
19:09I don't know why you're moaning to me
19:11How are you feeling?
19:21Relieved
19:21There hasn't been anything else
19:24Do you?
19:26Nothing
19:26Fingers crossed
19:28I think it's over
19:31I'm keeping my toes crossed you know
19:34Yeah
19:35But if you want my professional opinion
19:37I think that might be osteoporosis
19:39What's up?
19:41Amber had a confrontation with Richard
19:57Are you okay?
19:58I'm fine
19:59But the oyster isn't
20:01What did he say?
20:04He's been given planning permission to gut the place
20:08Oh no
20:09It might mean nothing to the council but it means everything to us
20:13Just think of everything that's happened over the years on these bits
20:17Tell me I met Carly for the first time in here
20:20He's been in the community for decades
20:22It's always been a family business
20:25Not a faceless corporate outlet
20:27There must be something we can still do
20:31Something more that we can bring to the council
20:33It's not over till it's over
20:36You can do anything if you get a focus heel dunce behind you
20:40What do you think Amber?
20:41We can't give up now
20:43Yeah we can
20:45We tried our best and it wasn't good enough
20:49There's nothing more we can do
20:52All we've got to do now is face the facts
20:57We lost
20:59Wait for me
21:05Thanks but I just need some space to think
21:10I'll see you later
21:12You had no idea it was there?
21:19Nah
21:19Why would I?
21:24Well
21:24Maybe you've got the Grinch to thank for that
21:28Don't know what it is yet
21:36Well it says
21:39Open when I'm gone
21:42And she's gone
21:46Wow
22:03Okay well
22:07That's something
22:08Look
22:11Do you want us to stay with you?
22:14We can watch it together
22:15Nah
22:15I think I'd prefer just to watch it alone
22:18If you don't mind
22:20Oh no of course
22:21Right well
22:23We'll head then
22:25Thanks
22:27For the day
22:28Are you sure you're going to be okay?
22:32Aye
22:33I'm just going to get my laptop and watch this
22:36Right okay
22:38Well you'll head then
22:40Right okay well you'll head then
22:40Right okay well you'll head then
23:13So, how's your day been?
23:23Er, long.
23:25Teddy was up all night and even when he was feeding, he had reflux, so I went through three pairs of pyjamas.
23:32Look, I know it's tough now, but you'll miss those days when they're gone.
23:36Yeah, I could really do with a nap right now.
23:38Yeah, I bet. But it's moments like those you don't want to miss.
23:43Thanks. I'll, um, bear that in mind.
23:51Sorry, was there something you wanted to see me about?
23:54Look, I only came over to check if you were feeling okay. I heard the news about the oyster.
24:00Yeah, well, Richard made a point of telling me himself. I think he enjoyed it.
24:06You must be disappointed.
24:08Disappointed? I put everything into that campaign. I'm absolutely devastated.
24:14Yeah, well, we all are.
24:17And I'm absolutely shattered.
24:18Well, now you'll have more time on your hands, you can start to focus on what's important again.
24:26Meaning what?
24:28Well, you have a child now.
24:29Any luck at the merchant's yard? Take any money?
24:45About 500 quid.
24:47Oh, that's unbelievable.
24:49Aye, it is.
24:50Completely unbelievable.
24:53Aye, not real.
24:55What have you done now?
24:56Oh, what was I supposed to do?
24:58Karen's got the whole of shield dinge wrapped around her wee finger.
25:00What do you mean?
25:01Well, she's getting a kickback for her charity for virtually everyone.
25:04All the stalls.
25:05The mafia would make less money.
25:07Well, so what if she's raising money?
25:10It's all for a good cause.
25:11Aye, but she was so smug about it.
25:13Then when she asked me how much I'd raised, I could hardly say 20 quid, so I'd just say 500.
25:18Oh, what are you like?
25:19Well, it just slipped out.
25:21And then she'll be blabbing that to everyone, and I'll never raise as much as that.
25:24Well, you shouldn't have lied.
25:25All I want to do is raise the money for Drew.
25:28I promised him.
25:30Well, if Karen's pulled out all the stops, then you're just going to have to do the same.
25:35But she's already got everyone at the market.
25:37Aye, but she's not got here.
25:39And?
25:40Well, we could hold a fundraiser in the pub for your charity.
25:45You know, Christmas tunes and Santa on the decks.
25:48Aye.
25:49Could charge an entrance fee, a fiver.
25:52Could charge a tenner.
25:53People are at their most generous at Christmas.
25:56Aye.
25:57And I'll wipe that smug smell right out of Karen's face.
26:00Hmm.
26:00Oh, I've been looking for you.
26:13Thought you wanted to be alone.
26:14Yeah, forget all that.
26:16What's happened?
26:18Too many people have written us off.
26:20And I've had it up to here being told what I can and cannot do.
26:24Sounds like the caffeine from your coffee's kicking in.
26:26Richard might have the council on his side.
26:29But the sale hasn't gone through yet.
26:31So?
26:31So we've got people power on our side.
26:35And I'll tell you this.
26:36I'm not going to sit down and shut up while a bunch of suits take away the things we love
26:40most about Shield Inch.
26:41So what are we going to do?
26:44We're going to force AJ to reject Richard's offer.
26:47How?
26:48We'll have a protest.
26:50Here at the Oyster.
26:51That'll spread the word.
26:53We'll force AJ to change his mind.
26:55But that video was Kim's last ever message to you.
27:04What?
27:04I cannae handle it.
27:05Be strong enough to hear what Kim has to say.
27:08I can't watch Teddy.
27:09But you have to.
27:11Amber, I'm really sorry, but Bob's found in sick.
27:13Why isn't Amber here yet?
27:15Small but mighty.
27:16We've got this right.
27:17You'll need to tell him eventually.
27:18Alex is going to take her run in this place on his end.
27:21You've got to be joking.
27:22You see me laughing?
