00:24You've been out on that call forever.
00:37Yeah.
00:38Difficult carving.
00:40I had to drive her in the dark, and on every headlight behind me, I was terrified it was
00:46right.
00:47Listen to me.
00:48We've got this.
00:49We've got a way out.
00:50I've accepted an offer on the car.
00:51They're going to transfer the money over today, and have a plan online for a bank loan to
00:55cover the shortfall.
00:56And then what?
00:57I've told you we've got no guarantee that Ray is going to keep his side of the bargain
01:00and keep away from us.
01:01No, no, no.
01:02He's named his price.
01:03If we don't pay up, things are only going to get worse.
01:04Us, the kids, we could all end up dead.
01:06Marlon.
01:07I'm sorry.
01:08I just want us to feel safe again, and if getting that money's the only way...
01:14We'll do it.
01:15We'll pay him off by tonight, I promise, and then it'll all be over.
01:19So, we're all set for tomorrow.
01:27It's going to be wonderful.
01:30The community coming together in the spirit of Christmas.
01:33Few carols from Bob.
01:35Alongside a carefully curated selection of festive bangers.
01:38All we need to do now is decide whether to channel Michael Buble or Tom Jones.
01:43Channel who you want.
01:44It's not going to be anything anyone's not heard before.
01:46Are we finished then?
01:47Only I need to pick up my jacket from the cleaners.
01:49Tinsel up my mic stand.
01:50What do you even try to analyse that?
01:52I'm already late for prayer group.
01:54Sure.
01:55They'll all be persuaded to buy a ticket.
01:57Which leaves us with a shortfall of how many?
01:59Have faith in the Lord Nicola.
02:01By tomorrow, I'm confident I would have sold them all.
02:04See you all bright and early to set up.
02:06Just don't tell anyone else.
02:07Keep it a secret.
02:08Right.
02:09I'll call you back.
02:10A secret?
02:11Yeah.
02:12I was just sorting your Christmas present.
02:13You don't have the money for one of those, Sam.
02:14Come on.
02:15Don't be lying to me.
02:16What the heck are you up to now?
02:29Thanks, love.
02:30You heard anything yet?
02:31About the loan?
02:32I just had a call from the bank.
02:33They wanted to, erm, clarify a few issues.
02:35Issues?
02:36Just taking everything into consideration.
02:38My credit scores pants, but they'll give me ten grand.
02:42That's better than nothing.
02:44So, with that and the seven grand from your car, we just need to find another three by tonight.
03:01We're stretched to the limit.
03:02Well, maybe we should just give Ray what we've got and tell him we'll find the rest in the next few days.
03:07No, no.
03:08The deal was we're paying the full amount today.
03:10Anything short of that, we're back to where we started.
03:13I've been going through the books this morning.
03:16The business accounts for the practice.
03:18The business that you're on with Paddy and Vanessa.
03:22The business that's an actual business and not a personal income stream.
03:26We're owed thousands in unpaid bills, right?
03:28So I thought I could go knocking on doors and see if anybody will pay up.
03:32I hate this.
03:33I hate what we're having to do, stealing from our friends.
03:36By the time they noticed, I would have paid it all back.
03:39And I can explain why.
03:40Marlon, it's either that or we fail and that is not an option.
03:46Do you reckon you'll be able to get her hands on cash today?
03:49Bernard owes us a fortune.
03:51Actually, so does Moira.
03:53You know how tough things have been for her.
03:55Yeah, and if she knew how tough things have been for us,
03:57Moira would move heaven and earth to get us what we need.
04:00You're right, Marlon, we are so close to having a way out of our lives.
04:04I will get that money, whatever it takes.
04:11Whipped cream and sprinkles for the kids.
04:13Very festive.
04:15And this one, definitely adults only.
04:21Well, where have you put in that? It's taking the roof off my mouth.
04:24That bottle of whiskey Rodney gave us for Christmas a few years back.
04:27I thought it might warm the cockles.
04:29Sticking off of it in and nobody's going to notice that we're using the cheapo chocolate powder.
04:34We can charge double. Jimmy, you're a genius.
04:39Oliver, you got me number one at Gamekeeper on this last shoot and he wants to book another.
04:44Get him to ring Kim.
04:46He already has. She says he can't come back.
04:49So he wants me to do a special on the cute tea tomorrow.
04:53Go behind Kim's back?
04:55With what Oliver's offering, we could finish the rewire, pay off his debts
05:00and have the biggest turkey for Christmas ever.
05:03You think a few pounds is worth risking our relationship with Kim?
05:06I keep telling you, we're not their family. We never have been.
05:10Her and Jo just make us feel like we are when it suits them to keep us working hardy.
05:16Even so, to deceive them like that, a shoot on their land.
05:21If anyone was to get a whiff, we'd both lose our jobs.
05:24Jo and Dawn are going to Edinburgh tonight.
05:27All you've got to do is get Kim to that Christmas fair and keep her busy.
05:32I suppose what they don't know won't hurt them.
05:38You leave Kim to me.
05:45No charge.
05:47Got lost, Eric.
05:49I tried to catch your first thing but it had already gone to work.
05:55Yeah.
05:56Got in early.
05:57Couldn't stand to be in the same house as you another second longer.
05:59Kerry.
06:01Just give me a chance, eh?
06:03Do you know what?
06:04I'll pay for me dinner out of the account that you set up in my name that you didn't tell me about.
06:08I tried to explain what I did and why I did.
06:12I get it.
06:13I get it, Eric.
06:15It's all for Jacob.
06:17It's not just about the taxes.
06:20I care for him and I care for Sarah.
06:26They might be made for each other but I don't share his unbridled optimism for his future.
06:33A trainee doctor with a newborn baby.
06:36He's going to have his work cut out.
06:38Yeah.
06:39And a fiancé who has a terminal condition and has no idea how much longer she has.
06:49He can't break for the pair of them.
06:51I am trying to do what I can.
06:54Trying to foolproof his life.
06:57That's why I set up the account.
07:01You stuck with me through everything.
07:04I'd like to think you'd do the same for him.
07:08Grab us a coffee.
07:11Then we'll talk.
07:20Oh, the kids have been wrapping Christmas presents.
07:23And the rugs are covered in glitter and glue if you could deal with that first.
07:27I'll grab the white vinegar.
07:29And the en-suites are all due a thorough deep clean.
07:33Anything else?
07:34Well, do you fancy a coffee before you start?
07:37I won't expect you to make the time up.
07:39No, thanks.
07:40Erm, but I was thinking about this Christmas fair.
07:43You know, the one we're organising for the sick kiddies.
07:46It's a waste of time.
07:49I mean, you won't make serious money by flogging homemade mince pies that someone's fingernails got baked into them.
07:57You hold a charity ball.
07:59An auction with proper prizes.
08:01I suppose you do.
08:03Oh, and if Nicola wants yet another donation for her tacky Dombola, she can go whistle.
08:10It's a raffle, actually.
08:11And you've already given us a bottle.
08:13Of my very best Pumanti.
08:15Look, I was hoping, well we all were actually, that you'd put in an appearance.
08:23We all know how poorly Evan's been.
08:25Well, I've already donated to the hospital.
08:28It's been such a terrible year for so many of us.
08:32And you're seen as a figurehead in the community.
08:36If you were to turn up, show your support, it'd mean so much.
08:40Well, as lady of the manor, I was always planning on doing my duty.
08:47No matter how tedious it might be, it'll be a PR win, if nothing else.
08:53So you'll turn up?
08:55Oh, I wouldn't miss this Christmas fair for the world.
09:07Got to the spooky bit yet?
09:09The ghost of Christmas past!
09:11Yeah, yeah, I'm nearly there.
09:14I knew you'd like it.
09:16Well, once you get drawn into the Dickens universe, you just, you know, lose yourself.
09:19Yeah, I'm lost, alright.
09:21You tell me what you think about the ending, when I've, you know, finished my latest batch of stolen?
09:31You've been picking up that book and putting it down all morning.
09:34Er, coffee to Descartes, please, Nicola.
09:35Best you've roasted or normal?
09:37Ooh, er, first one. Thanks.
09:39Yeah, no, I can't get past baseball.
09:41Of course you can't.
09:43Brain-rotter by social media.
09:45The attention span of a nap.
09:46She says that to me all the time.
09:48I take it as a term of endearment.
09:50No, I've just got better things to do than read old books written by dead people.
09:53Oh, I'm sure Lewis will appreciate your honest review.
09:56He asked you to read it for a reason.
09:58Did he?
09:59What reason?
10:00Never you mind.
10:01Dickens!
10:02Oh, it's well good, you know, I remember we did it in school.
10:04Okay, then maybe you can tell me what happens then, cos I told Lewis I'd never finished it.
10:07Er, we can do better than that, Mr Ebenezer Scrooge.
10:10Your place, half an hour, I'll bring popcorn.
10:13Mm.
10:14Mm.
10:15Mm.
10:16Mum, you said you'd be here by twelve.
10:20I've got a job on this afternoon.
10:22Get yourself back now.
10:23All right, finish it down the cellar?
10:25That's where your mother keeps the woofers and tweeters.
10:27Sound system, yeah, help yourself.
10:29Hey!
10:33How's your motor?
10:34Er, Cairn told Mum your dad a bit of a bump.
10:36Er, it's all good. At least it will be.
10:38Er...
10:39Nobody got hurt, that's the main thing, isn't it?
10:41And Marlon's dealing with it, so once he's done that,
10:44we'll never mention it again.
10:46Good with me.
10:47Oh, it's good that you can keep it between the pair of you.
10:49You know, stay friends.
10:52What are you after, then?
10:53Fillet steak and chips?
10:54Same here, thank you.
10:55Two specials, right.
10:59You've not asked her, Marlon, what it cooked?
11:02Er, sorry, how do you want your steaks cooked?
11:04Bloody.
11:05Marlon, you know how I like my steak cooked.
11:07Shall we sit by the fire? Yeah.
11:11Ray, you got a minute?
11:13Well, it's nice to chat, mate, but, er...
11:15I'm kinda busy.
11:17Erm...
11:18Your money.
11:19We'll...
11:20We'll have it by the end of the day.
11:21OK.
11:22Nice work, but next time,
11:23not in front of the lady.
11:26Cos we are strictly business.
11:28She...
11:30She is strictly pleasure.
11:32You got it?
11:33Yeah.
11:34I appreciate that you normally settle up at the end of the month, Bernard, but...
11:54Please...
11:55Hold on...
12:01Hey.
12:02Oh, hi.
12:03Wasn't expecting to see you today.
12:04Have you got a minute?
12:05Yeah, is everything OK?
12:06Yeah, not really.
12:07Ah.
12:08Well, I'll put the kettle on.
12:09No need.
12:10I can't really stop that long.
12:11Erm...
12:12Sorry to have to ask you this, but, er...
12:14Your account with us, there is an outstanding balance.
12:17Yeah, I know that.
12:18And I spoke to Paddy last week and he said we can wait until I get the cash for the bullocks that I'm sending to auction.
12:22Right.
12:23I'm afraid circumstances have changed since he told you that, so if you could possibly settle up sooner.
12:28Er...
12:29Yeah.
12:30Sure I can.
12:31The auction starts in a week's time.
12:33Right.
12:34Sooner.
12:35As in...
12:36Today.
12:37Oh.
12:38Erm...
12:39That's quite a few thousand pounds.
12:41How do you expect me to get my hands on that kind of money?
12:44Well, with all due respect, Moira, we have done the work, provided the service.
12:47Rona, you know the pressures I've been under.
12:51Every farmer's the same.
12:53But...
12:54I've got another 21 days to pay.
12:56It's all there in black and white on your latest statement.
12:59You owe us a little over three thousand pounds, Moira.
13:01I'm sorry.
13:02I'm sorry.
13:03I just...
13:04I really need that money.
13:05Why?
13:06What's wrong?
13:07Er...
13:08Just...
13:09Money's a bit tight, right now.
13:10You know?
13:11I was hoping that if I got some of my clients to pay early, we could have a payout before the end of the year.
13:15Okay, well...
13:17Me and Cain, we can talk to the family.
13:19You're not on your own...
13:20No, no, sorry.
13:21Just, er...
13:22Forget I said anything.
13:23Forget I even asked.
13:24Okay.
13:25Sorry.
13:26You're such a generous soul, you know, making amends with Marlon.
13:37I mean, the last thing he needs is a... is a fight with an insurance company.
13:41There's no need to put a mate through that.
13:42I mean, he's been through so much with April, and now Dylan.
13:47Any news from the hospital?
13:50No.
13:51I heard Dylan's in a... induced coma.
13:54Oh, such a terrible business.
13:56How's April coping?
13:58Pretty much as you'd expect.
14:00Er, here.
14:01So I've got a medium for you.
14:02Rare for you.
14:03Oh!
14:04No, Marlon.
14:05It's the other way round.
14:06Oh!
14:07Sorry.
14:08Oh!
14:09Sorry.
14:10You okay, mate?
14:11I'll get you some more coloury.
14:13Marlon?
14:14You should try taking things a bit easier.
14:17I'll bear that in mind.
14:19Enjoy.
14:21This looks so nice for me.
14:37Hello!
14:38Hi!
14:39Hello!
14:40Erm, oh, oh, man!
14:42What were you watching?
14:44Er, nothing.
14:46Oh, erm, I heard the end credits of A Christmas Carol.
14:49Yeah, well, it was, er, his idea.
14:51He wanted to know what happened!
14:53Couldn't he just read the book I lent him?
14:55Yeah, well, I give it a go. It's just, you know, like, books and old stories, history.
14:58It's...it's not my thing.
15:00What, and you think Die Hard's my thing?
15:02Woah! Louie, a classic. What's not to like?
15:05I just didn't want you to think it didn't matter to me what matters to you.
15:07Yeah, and the book and the film are the same, right?
15:10Yeah, well, I get you didn't want to let me down, but...
15:13...if you didn't want to read the book, you could have just told me.
15:19Sorry, mate. I didn't realise it was such a big deal.
15:23Yeah, well, it's not. All right?
15:28Jotty can hardly contain herself, you know.
15:30It's all about elf on the shelf, and has she been good enough for a proper present?
15:34And what about you?
15:36What about me?
15:38Nice, or naughty. Or both.
15:43Oh, them two should get a room.
15:45Yeah, they should. Rooms in separate countries.
15:48It would be nice to have someone to treat this Christmas as well as Mum.
15:52So I've come into a bit of cash, and it'll be the first time in a long time I've been able to splash out.
15:57Oh, you're such a thoughtful son, you know that, don't you?
16:00Kills me, seeing them together.
16:04Yeah, and you know there's nothing we can do, not yet.
16:07Yeah?
16:08It's Moira paid up.
16:11Oh.
16:12Sold in hand. It should be sorted by the end of the day.
16:16We're almost there.
16:17I opened that account fully intending to make you aware of what I'd done.
16:28I needed to optimize my tax status.
16:31I need to be able to deposit further sums.
16:35With a trusted friend.
16:39You have been my rock these last few months, and I can't tell you how grateful I am to have you in my life.
16:47Right back at you.
16:50Right?
16:52But there's no need for all of this skullduggery.
16:54If you needed help, you just have to ask.
16:57I have worked hard all my life.
17:00Paid all my dues.
17:02And all I need to do now is hand over that legacy.
17:06Will you help me?
17:08Please?
17:09Well, now that I know where you're coming from, and you've been honest with me 100%.
17:18If I were you, I would go large or go home.
17:23I'm...
17:25What does that exactly mean?
17:28I'm more than all in.
17:32But I have a plan.
17:36Watch this space.
17:39I got your text.
17:43Had to break off my date.
17:45Ah.
17:47Your cash.
17:48It's all here.
17:50Nice one.
17:54I knew you had it in you.
17:55So that's it, yeah?
17:56We're done.
17:57It's all over.
17:58You've got what you wanted, so please just let us get on with our lives.
18:02And why would I want to do that?
18:05Because I've just handed over 20 grand.
18:09And it would come in very handy at Christmas.
18:11No, that was the deal.
18:12He asked you what it would take to get you out of our lives.
18:15Well, I may have named a price.
18:18Yeah.
18:19And you may have thought we had done a deal, but I don't ever remember agreeing to your terms.
18:24No, no.
18:25Then I want that back every penny!
18:26Every penny!
18:27It's a bit late for that.
18:28It's very generous of you.
18:29No, come on, I'll...
18:32Next time, get it in writing.
18:37I'll be in touch.
18:38She came around.
18:39Upstairs.
18:40Everything sorted?
18:41I got her to promise to go to the Christmas fair.
18:42Oh, result!
18:43Yeah, she's only doing it as a photo opportunity, mind.
18:44You were right.
18:45She don't care about them sick kiddies or about any of us.
18:46I've told you.
18:47You're not family to her.
18:48You just clean her bogs.
18:49She's had me groveling round on the floor this morning, cleaning up glitter.
18:50Jo, I's always messing with me head about me job.
18:51Friends don't do stuff like that.
18:52She's got more money than she can count and we need it.
18:53Yeah, get the electric sorted and have an ace Christmas.
18:54And Kim will go back to the entire house.
18:55I got the money, by the way.
18:56I'm here.
18:57You've got to be in touch with my hair.
18:58Good.
18:59And you can't try and see exactly how I'm learning.
19:00Basically, everything sorted?
19:01Everything sorted?
19:02I got her to promise to go to the Christmas fair.
19:03Oh, result!
19:04Yeah, she's only doing it as a photo opportunity, mind.
19:05You were right.
19:06She don't care about them sick kiddies or about any of us.
19:08I've told you.
19:09He's always messing with my head about my job.
19:11Friends don't do stuff like that.
19:12She's got more money than she can count, and we need it.
19:15Yeah.
19:16Get the electrics sorted and have an ace Christmas.
19:18And Kim will be none the wiser.
19:20Okay, technically it might be a crime, but it's a victimless one.
19:23Well, unless you're a pheasant.
19:26So, I can tell Oliver and his mates were on.
19:29We're on.
19:31Oh, Sam.
19:33Always lovely to see you.
19:36But I did ask you to do a thorough check of the grounds.
19:39Make sure we're secure against poachers.
19:42On it.
19:42Soz.
19:43See you, Lids.
19:44Oh, and, Lydia, I'm afraid there's still bits of sellotape stuck in a sitting room rug.
19:51I'll do that right now.
19:59Hey.
20:00Yes, thanks for confirming the arrangements.
20:04I owe you a case of champagne, at the very least.
20:08Oh, it's going to make my friend's day tomorrow.
20:13All her dreams are going to come true.
20:17I should have listened to you.
20:19Why did we even try to engage?
20:21Because we were desperate.
20:23Because paying Ray off was the only way we could think of to keep April from the streets and our family safe.
20:28I know we're back where we started.
20:31Or we would be if I didn't owe the bank ten grand.
20:32I might as well set that cash on fire.
20:34He's never going to leave us alone.
20:35Marla.
20:35He's going to come back.
20:36He's going to want more.
20:36What do we do?
20:39I'm sorry you took that money from the surgery.
20:40Paddy and Vanessa are going to notice.
20:42How do we even begin to explain it?
20:49I didn't get that money from work.
20:52What?
20:52You said?
20:53I tried to get the money off of our clients, but nobody has that kind of cash this time of year.
20:56Oh, what the heck have you done?
21:00I organised a payday loan.
21:01We were out of options.
21:02The clock was ticking.
21:04You took a million percent payday loan.
21:06And you say you pay it back.
21:07When?
21:08Not for a while.
21:09And then how much is it going to be?
21:10We've no way of paying that money back.
21:11The interest is going to keep going up.
21:12We're going to be bankrupt.
21:13I was desperate.
21:14We needed to find the money.
21:17It's the ultimate irony, isn't it?
21:18Isn't it?
21:19We keep paying him and his mum,
21:21so they can keep track of our every move.
21:23They can keep us living in fear.
21:24They can force April to do whatever they want.
21:26Whenever they want.
21:28We thought we were doing a deal with the devil.
21:29The devil doesn't even come close.
21:32It's over, Marlon.
21:34We've got nowhere left to go from here.
21:37Celia and Ray have taken everything.
21:38We're ruined.
21:39Alan's been bitten by the love bug in the new series of Alan Carr's hilarious coming-of-age comedy, Changing Ends.
