00:01You know that?
00:02Oh, hiya, hiya!
00:03It's Christmas spirit.
00:05Elves, not trolls. What do you know?
00:08You alright, mate?
00:09Yeah.
00:11I need a taxi.
00:13Where's Barry, Roy, Pat?
00:16They're not here anymore, mate. They've gone.
00:18Then how does anyone get a cab?
00:20We don't need a cab. We're gonna walk home, alright?
00:22You're screening tonight, haven't you?
00:23I've got you swimming here, remember?
00:25Where's my tie?
00:26You better not have lost it.
00:27Yeah, your tie's hard.
00:29Come on.
00:30That's it, Dad.
00:31Sir?
00:32Oh.
00:33You?
00:34You'll practice your speech, mate.
00:35Yeah.
00:36OK.
00:49Linda, I gave you space last night, yeah, and this morning.
00:52You've just been avoiding me.
00:54What I wanna know is when I'm gonna see her.
00:56Yeah, alright.
00:57Alright.
00:58Work that out.
01:00No one else knew about all this.
01:03Your family or Mick?
01:04Yes.
01:05Mick knew.
01:06Mick knew.
01:07Don't you dare say a bad word against him, alright?
01:09Because back then, he was the rock that I needed.
01:13Can we talk about this later, please?
01:17What do you mean, later?
01:19Well, we'll meet up with Annie.
01:20We'll tell her everything, yeah?
01:21Tell her.
01:22Tell her.
01:23Today?
01:24Yeah.
01:25No.
01:26No, I'm sorry.
01:27That is way too soon.
01:29Days are dawning.
01:30Rise and shine.
01:31Now.
01:32Today we have Bucks Fizz for anyone wearing a Santa hat.
01:37Oh.
01:39Don't mind if I do.
01:41And I'm not doing this now.
01:44Yes.
01:45There we go, darlings.
01:48Right, listen.
01:49The door's open for the screening at five, so help your dad with that bouge, yeah?
01:52I don't want him doing his backing before the big day.
01:54Hey, I know I'm gonna get Christmas from you.
01:56One of your special messages.
01:57Shut up.
01:58Okay.
01:59Go on, you'll be late.
02:05Listen, darling, I know you're worried.
02:07Psycho's still out there, right?
02:09We're all worried, yeah?
02:10But they've gotta get through me to get to you, okay?
02:15But it ain't just that.
02:16I mean, seeing everyone excited about Christmas,
02:19all the families coming together,
02:21do you think I'm stupid?
02:24I think I'd have found my son by now.
02:27No, of course you won't.
02:28Oi!
02:29I'm loving this little bonding moment,
02:30but is there any chance I could get served?
02:32Sorry, what are you doing?
02:33Well, I'm just testing out the canopies for tomorrow.
02:35Yeah, she paid for that.
02:37Blimey, if that's how you treat your customers,
02:39no wonder you've got some psycho chasing after you.
02:42Are you gonna shut your mouth?
02:43Oh, come on.
02:44Oh.
02:45Well, she does more than just stand around looking sorry for herself.
02:47You are asking for a slash.
02:48Yeah, it's worth it.
02:49Get here.
02:50You're barred.
02:51Whatever.
02:52How you doing?
02:53Hospital said it's like I smoked 400 cigarettes.
02:56in one night.
02:57So it's like...
02:58double my record.
02:59Mm-hmm.
03:00Mm-hmm.
03:01How you doing?
03:02Hospital said it's like I smoked 400 cigarettes in one night,
03:05so it's like double my record.
03:06Mm-hmm.
03:07Mm-hmm.
03:08Look.
03:09It doesn't take much to fix this.
03:10A bit of honesty, a bit of trust.
03:11It doesn't take much to fix this.
03:12A bit of honesty.
03:13A bit of trust.
03:14And whatever's really going on with you.
03:15And whatever's really going on with you.
03:16Maybe I can help.

04:16WHISTLE BLOWGEN
04:20Hi.
04:21Yeah.
04:22Thanks for calling back.
04:23Temper段.
04:24Nigel Betts.
04:25Yeah, come his wife.
04:26Yeah, I'm his wife.
04:27Yeah, I just wanted to talk through the range of care options.
04:33Um, is it all right? I'll call you back in a bit.
04:40To us, sis.
04:41You're shipping him off to a care home two days before Christmas.
04:44Goodbye, good riddance, and happy new year.
04:46Just made an inquiry last week to talk through the options.
04:48You ain't missing the word, I've said.
04:50Do you realise how much makeup I've had to slap on to cover up this bruise?
04:56Every moment I'm with him,
05:00every conversation, I'm just waiting for something like this to happen again.
05:06Now, it's not his fault, I do know that.
05:09But I also know that he will do it again.
05:12To me, to you, to a stranger, and then what do we do?
05:17I ain't giving up on my mind.
05:20And what happens if he hurts himself?
05:22Have you thought about that?
05:23You ain't.
05:24Not while I'm around, so you can call them back
05:27and tell them you, tell them you ain't interested,
05:29because this, this ain't happening.
05:39So, any news when the house is going to be fixed up?
05:43Well, now that it's been deemed an accident by the police,
05:45yeah, Ross can start cracking on.
05:47He said he'll work over Christmas and all.
05:48An accident?
05:49Yeah.
05:50A cigarette butt.
05:51Which wasn't mine.
05:53Swear.
05:54Right, if we won't do too much longer, then.
05:56That'll put Sonia's mind at rest.
05:58You struggling with a houseful?
06:00Uh, we only came over because Lauren said that the coffee was good.
06:02And, well, you know, no-one else is talking to her.
06:07Don't even joke.
06:08You know they've taken me off the community chat?
06:10Well, a lot of people put their hard-earned cash into that charity fund.
06:15Well, they did.
06:16Don't worry about it.
06:17You go before you know it.
06:19Do you want to try and leave my door on?
06:20It's Inges.
06:21She's been lying to me for years.
06:24Little Annie.
06:29She's my daughter.
06:37Those demands are ridiculous.
06:39She's going to leave me for nothing.
06:42No, I worked hard for that money, and that's what I pay you for.
06:45So deal with it.
06:49Is everything okay?
06:50But what do you care?
06:53I'm sorry I accused you of starting that fire.
06:58My family, right?
06:59It's Christmas.
07:03Oh, come on, Anthony.
07:04I'm trying.
07:07Sorry.
07:09Have you, um, seen Patrick and Yolandi?
07:14It's the church fundraiser for the soup kitchen.
07:18I'm going to take Jordan later.
07:19I've got two kids out there.
07:34It's like I don't even exist.
07:35I know you said you wanted to find them first, but maybe you should work with Zoe to track them down.
07:45She lied to you, yeah, and it was, you know, totally out of order, but the more I think about it, she's still a mum.
07:54She deserves a second chance.
08:04Whatever happens, he cannot know that any of us knew.
08:07Value.
08:10I mean, I would have thought you'd have clocked it, saying, I mean, a ginger ale's a real giveaway.
08:13Ian!
08:14Do you want me to punch him?
08:15Because I'll honestly punch him in the face.
08:17What are you saying, Ian?
08:20What, you knew?
08:23Of course he didn't.
08:24Come on, let's do the washing up.
08:25Yeah.
08:25Oh, look at Ellie's face.
08:32It's made my Christmas.
08:33Oh.
08:34So, what, she just come out of it then?
08:37She just told you?
08:38Yeah.
08:38Yeah, she's already backtracking, being all vague about how it's going to work.
08:43I mean, I've missed enough of her life already, haven't I?
08:47I ain't having it, Lauren.
08:48I'm not going to go and sit and listen to her today.
08:51Well, you can't go in all guns blazing.
08:54Just let me call her.
08:59Yeah, double, please.
09:02Listen, I know it's my first Christmas rebarning, and the Secret Santa was good, but
09:06I'm going to give him something special, you know?
09:10Well, don't look on a football shirt or a gift voucher, and then I'm out.
09:16Um...
09:17Vic, I have actually been meaning to talk to you.
09:22It's kind of crowded over at Cathy's, and, er...
09:27I just really miss her.
09:30And Christmas morning, I don't want to wake up and drink
09:33Thai vodka and barbecue shrimp on my own.
09:36I thought that was an Australian thing.
09:38No.
09:40That's a you and me thing.
09:43It's all I drink.
09:47Can't have you barbecuing shrimp in Cathy's spare room, can I?
09:51No.
09:52Happy days.
09:54Right, I'll catch you later.
09:55See you in a bit, mate.
09:56How about getting him an early edition of one of his favourite books?
10:05Barney.
10:06Hey.
10:06Christmas.
10:07Yeah.
10:07Sorry.
10:08Thanks, Marie.
10:10Yeah, it's a great idea.
10:11See you in a bit.
10:12Have a good day.
10:19What do you want?
10:20I was hoping to offer up a bit of a Christmas miracle.
10:28What's that look for?
10:31Is this about the restraining order?
10:33Because...
10:33Just tell me why you're here.
10:37Okay.
10:38Um...
10:39An old doctor friend of mine has thought of another way we can find your son.
10:45It's a DNA thing, uh...
10:50Genetic records.
10:51I won't bore you with the technicalities, but...
10:54If we knew the father's identity,
10:58it looks like we could open up a whole new avenue of investigation.
11:04Now...
11:04You've always said you don't know who it is.
11:07But...
11:08If there's any way you can remember,
11:10I would do everything in my power...
11:13To find him.
11:15I'm sorry.
11:23Like I said before,
11:24I've got no idea who he is.
11:42Oh, no.
11:43No, no, no.
11:44That's not the deal.
11:45I agreed to talk to you, not him.
11:47Well, I've got legal rights, haven't I?
11:49Annie is happy.
11:50Right, now.
11:51I actually don't need any big revelations blowing her life apart.
11:54When you get that, right?
11:55Yeah, of course.
11:56He's just...
11:57Keen to get involved, you know?
11:59He wants to get to know her.
12:00Yeah, why are you pussyfooting around all this?
12:02Because of this.
12:03Right, because you've known for 12 hours and you're already hassling me.
12:07Rushing me.
12:08Don't exactly fill me with confidence.
12:09We ain't got nothing to worry about, all right?
12:10I'm a great dad.
12:12Don't I?
12:13You're living out of a bag with your passport in your back pocket.
12:15I don't even know if you're sticking around, Warford, or what.
12:18And that is what I'm talking about.
12:19All right, you are not going anywhere near my daughter until I say so.
12:22And you are not telling her that you're her dad
12:24until you've got some sort of plan.
12:32Just baby steps, yeah?
12:43Forget him, Lauren.
12:45I've done worse.
12:50I'm gonna go.
12:54Did I hear that right?
12:56You've got a kid with Linda.
12:59What are you gonna do?
13:01I don't know.
13:04What can I do?
13:05She's holding all the cards, isn't she?
13:07Well, if it was my kid,
13:09I wouldn't let anyone keep me away.
13:12Don't say I love
13:14Cause I know I am
13:17You've got to call my love
13:20How'd you done that?
13:27This is fine.
13:28I know why you're against
13:36a care home
13:37and
13:39well, the thought that costs me
13:41it's my eyes water.
13:46There will come a time
13:47isn't that the money's one thing
13:49all right
13:49but it's Nigel
13:50he's nowhere near the level
13:51of the people in these care homes
13:53half the time
13:54he's the same bloke
13:55he always was
13:56Half?
13:57As much as that?
13:59I don't think so
14:00When it's bad
14:06Phil, when it's bad
14:09it's really scary
14:12Well, let me guess
14:15is that Elf or Nativity?
14:17He's die-hard
14:18But I know
14:22it's been tough
14:22Of course it has
14:24but right now
14:25there's more good times
14:26than bad
14:27Are you really telling me
14:30you're ready to walk away from him
14:31and that you could sleep at night
14:33if you did?
14:39No, I couldn't
14:40No
14:42But we can't pretend
14:46he isn't getting worse
14:47And, you know
14:49I really worry
14:50that today's screening
14:51might be too much for him
14:52Well, it can't cancel
14:53We can't
14:55He'd be devastated
14:57Well, I think you need to check
15:04with Linda about that
15:05No, it's nothing to check
15:06you like
15:06She just thought
15:08it'd be some good bonding time
15:09you know, take Annie to the grotto
15:10go and see Santa
15:11No, no, no, no
15:12Linda
15:12is taking her to the grotto
15:14That's what I'm saying
15:15She's going to meet us down there
15:16Well, she's alright about that
15:18I mean, to Annie
15:18you're just some strange old man
15:20The safest place in the world
15:22for that little girl
15:23who's with her dad
15:24I just want to get to know her
15:27That's all
15:27You've got this place to run
15:30and I love what you've done with it
15:32by the way
15:32Thank you
15:33Yeah, it's very
15:34like Bougie in it

19:15That's your business
19:16Callum
19:19Is Jay going to make it tonight or what?
19:23Well, look
19:24You know how he's got his new girlfriend up north
19:25And how she's not got anyone
19:27This time of Christmas
19:27Stupid Elena
19:29Let me guess
19:30He's staying there for Christmas as well?
19:32Yeah
19:32Sorry
19:34Come on
19:35You're all right
19:36Could you
19:37Keep a hold of this one
19:39I'm not there
19:40What's that?
19:41Julie's Christmas present
19:42Yeah
19:43Speech
19:43Yes
19:44Hi, Joel
19:47You're all in 30 seconds
19:48Oi
19:52I barred you from the Vic
19:55That means you don't get served in here either
19:57All I did was ask for a drink
19:59You're asking for a slap
20:01And you know it
20:02You might want to give her a bit of a break
20:09We just had a tricky few months since she came back
20:12She's been back for months?
20:15Yeah
20:15Wait in the country
20:16She had a few personal things to deal with
20:19And probably thinks she deserves a drink
20:21That's all
20:22Just wanted to say thanks
20:34You know for not dropping us in it with Max
20:37Well you kept it secret because I bet you to
20:39It's not my place to tell him
20:41I'll do what I can to make sure my dad
20:45He steps up, yeah?
20:48You might have sent me a photo
20:50Santa's grotto, little Annie
20:53I never went to the grotto
20:55Well Max said
20:56Stupid
20:59Right, if anyone's phone goes off in the middle of this
21:07You're in massive trouble
21:08I'm being serious
21:11Turn them off
21:12Now please welcome to the stage
21:18Nigel
21:19Thank you
21:26Everyone has a favourite Christmas movie
21:32It's A Wonderful Life
21:34Christmas Carol
21:35Die Hard
21:36Although
21:39If you want to see a bald man
21:42In a vest causing havoc
21:43Just walk into the kitchen
21:45When Phil's making breakfast
21:50The thing I love most about Christmas
22:09Movies
22:11Where were we?
22:17Sorry
22:17Sweetheart
22:18Mum
22:18The thing I love about Christmas
22:22The thing I love about Christmas movies
22:23Is
22:24The way they bring people together
22:28What happened there?
22:35What?
22:36Where'd you get that from?
22:37Oh, it's nothing
22:38It's nothing
22:39It's a black eye
22:39How'd that happen?
22:40No, it's
22:41Let's talk about this at all
22:43No
22:43It was an accident, darling
22:49You didn't mean it
22:50It's okay
22:53I want to go
23:01Nigel
23:03Nigel
23:04Nigel, wait
23:06You think Patrick looks like Santa
23:13Well, maybe he is Santa
23:16In that way, you better be nice to me
23:18Come here
23:19That woman has no redeeming qualities
23:28She's worse than Sophie
23:29Everybody is in there
23:30She's a selfish, lying, manipulative bitch
23:33Well, with that attitude, no wonder she don't want nothing to do with you
23:36Same goes for Sophie
23:37So I'm the bad girl now?
23:39You're lying to her about her kids
23:42So yes, you are
23:43Is everything all right?
23:46Yeah, yeah, nothing to worry about
23:48Any sign of him?
24:08No, no, no, nothing
24:11I knew this was all too much
24:14Too many people, too much pressure
24:15Oh, here we go again
24:16What, are we going to talk about care home together?
24:18You know, maybe we should
24:19Care home?
24:22But, um, for me
24:24No, no, no, no, no, mate
24:26Oh
24:26Um, living in a home
24:31A care home
24:32No, no, mate
24:33You know, mate
24:33I'm here, and I
24:34Yeah
24:36I want to be alone
24:42What?
24:43I want to be alone
24:44Can you give me a minute?
24:46I'll be right back
24:47You sure?
24:50Yeah
24:50Hello?
25:20Hey, nice
25:25Have you had a good day?
25:29Yeah, I have, and I
25:30We can do this again
