00:00The
00:29I've explained this. He's not a threat to us anymore. He's set fire to our trees. He's going to smash my windscreen. And what happens if he follows us to meet Angela? He won't. He's not going to cause us any more grief. And you honestly believe that? Hey, what time are you off to see Angela? There's no point going now. Why not? Well, how can she trust that we'll look after Seb when his psycho ex waging a war of terror? I ain't got time for this. I'm going to work. Yeah, perfect. Very mature. You just walk away from it all, yeah? He's got to let Kev off the hook. And you're playing right into his hands. Kev's trying to tear the two of you apart and you're letting
00:59him. So you think I should back that out? Yes, I do. Because today isn't about Kev or Ross, it's about Angela. And proving that you can look after Seb if you want him back where he belongs. So please, go and sort it out.
01:12You look amazing. I do, don't I? I can't believe we're actually doing this. People are going to be so shocked. Well, yeah, that's when anyone turns up. Maury and Chas are saying they can't come. Now we've changed their time. Grandad and Charity will be there.
01:41And that's all that matters. Sarah, this is honestly the happiest day of my life. Me too.
01:49Eric! What are you doing? Hurry up!
01:54What are you two doing here? We live here. And what's with the soup? It's for this afternoon.
02:08It's only a gender reveal party. You don't need to dress up. Are you planning on making an effort? Yeah, once I get the chance.
02:15I don't think they want us here.
02:17Do they? Right. See you later. Don't be late.
02:24It was close. I didn't think they suspected anything. Who cares? Today's about you and me.
02:32Lids, come on. You've got to be there. Maury and Chas have already bailed.
02:47I'm sorry. I've got a million things to do before tomorrow.
02:50Well, Sarah wants the whole family there.
02:52The whole family where?
02:54Gender reveal party. Very important to her.
02:56Then she should have picked a better day. I mean, who's got spare time on Christmas Eve?
02:59There's free booze. Yes. That's why I'm definitely going.
03:03Thank you, Sammy. Spread the word.
03:07You're any ones for a free beer, you, aren't you?
03:09Aye. Money's tight. And it always will be, especially now you've been written out of Kim's will.
03:13Yeah, well, we've never had much cash, but we've always got by.
03:18Why are you making another trifle?
03:20That one's for Kim.
03:21Oh, right. So she sacks us and you're making her a dessert?
03:24Sam, we sacked ourselves after what we did. And she's been having a really difficult time since the accident.
03:29She's still my friend.
03:31She don't think so. She told you to get stuffed.
03:34Yeah, well, I never turn my back on those clothes to me. Especially not at Christmas.
03:39You'll be coming home wearing that trifle.
03:41Maybe. But at least I'll have tried.
03:44Oh, come on.
03:49No!
03:56Hello. Problem?
03:57Yeah, my battery's flat. Today of all days.
04:01Well, why swearing?
04:03Well, I've got that meeting at the brewery, haven't I?
04:05Well, I can take you if you want.
04:07Oh, babe, no. You've been up since five. Don't worry about it.
04:10Look, there's Vanessa. I'll get her to take me.
04:12Are you sure?
04:13Yeah. You get some rest.
04:15All right.
04:16Cheers, mate. You're a pal.
04:25How am I a pal?
04:26Because I need to get to the clinic for those tests.
04:28So you'll have to give me a lift.
04:35Have to.
04:36Okay, fine. Pretty please.
04:39Are you going to get a paternity test while you're there?
04:41No, because I don't need to.
04:43Well, you do.
04:44It's a strong chance this baby's Mackenzie's.
04:46Do you know what, Vanessa?
04:47Forget it. I'll just...
04:48I'll get a taxi, all right?
04:49I don't need you pecking my head right now.
04:51Just...
04:52If anyone asks, will you just say that you gave me a lift to the brewery?
04:54I don't need you to give me a lift to the brewery.
04:55I think you can give me a lift to the brewery.
04:56I don't need you to give me a lift to the brewery.
04:57Thanks.
05:10Yeah.
05:15Best recognition and apologies.
05:18because I should apologise.
05:22And you agree with her?
05:24I just want Kev out of our lives.
05:26Yeah, so do I.
05:29We could report him,
05:30but that would mean spending Christmas Eve
05:32at a police station giving statements.
05:35Wouldn't you rather meet up with Angela?
05:37Show what a great couple we are.
05:40And you put it like that.
05:41Yeah.
05:43Kev's the past, right?
05:46He's not in our lives anymore.
05:48The future is me, you, and Sam.
05:53What was that?
05:54Put it down.
06:05I hear you and your lot have moved into one of the cottages
06:08on Home Farmers Day.
06:09Was that Kim's idea or yours?
06:11I assume she won't be joining in your engagement celebrations.
06:15Who's getting engaged?
06:16Him and Dawn.
06:18I thought she turned you down.
06:19No.
06:19That was yesterday, Jimmy.
06:22Try and keep up.
06:23How's Kim doing?
06:24Your guess is as good as mine.
06:28Oh, he's not giving away much.
06:30There you are.
06:31Good.
06:32So, how's your dad and Rona?
06:37How's your dad and Rona?
06:38How do you think?
06:39They can't afford to keep forking out thousands of pounds a week.
06:43Think of it as their way of sharing how much they love you.
06:47How's your dad and Rona?
06:49Okay, fine.
06:50How's that working for you again?
06:52They're working for you again, as long as you agree to leave them alone.
06:55April.
06:56April.
06:57You don't call the shots, you know that.
06:59How's Dylan?
07:00How's Dylan?
07:02I understand he could be discharged imminently.
07:05Do hope he's going to behave himself.
07:06Well, he's not going to say anything if that's what you're worried about.
07:09I'm not remotely worried.
07:12Ray and I will be gone soon, pastures new, literally.
07:16It doesn't pay to loiter in one place for too long.
07:20So we won't be seeing you any more?
07:22You will, obviously.
07:24You will be coming with us.
07:26What's going on?
07:28What's happened?
07:29Kev tried to kill us.
07:31What?
07:32Yeah, we were in a field and we were shot at us.
07:36And it was definitely Kev?
07:37This would never have happened if you'd have called the police yesterday.
07:39Well, please tell me that you've called them now.
07:41Yeah, obviously.
07:42We still need to stay inside with the doors locked until they get here.
07:45And what about Angela?
07:46Well, Kev might follow us to the meeting and go after her.
07:50So we're just going to have to put it off until we find him.
07:53You could find so many other kids that would do what I do.
07:58Oh, don't underestimate yourself, April.
08:01You are a very talented young woman and I promise you, in a few years' time, you'll be
08:07a very rich young woman.
08:08I'll be a drug dealer.
08:10We already are.
08:12But I'll go to the police if I disappear.
08:17I'm not suggesting you disappear.
08:19You will explain to your father that you are leaving of your own free will and he must
08:23respect that.
08:24I don't know.
08:26Okay.
08:27Well, you have a little think about it and let me know tomorrow.
08:33What?
08:34Tomorrow's Christmas Day?
08:35What difference does that make?
08:39Sarah?
08:40This is Anton and Tilda.
08:41Hi.
08:42They're going to be our witnesses.
08:43They're up next after us and we've agreed to return fame.
08:44Thank you so much.
08:45This is so exciting.
08:46Oh, looks like you need these.
08:47Oh, thank you.
08:48You all right?
08:49Are we doing the right thing?
08:50What, you having doubts?
08:51No, I just...
08:52I didn't think it'd be this nerve-wracking.
08:53It's good nerves, all right?
08:54Yeah.
08:55You ready?
08:56Yeah.
08:57Oh, thank you.
08:58Oh, thank you so much.
08:59This is so exciting.
09:00Oh, looks like you need these.
09:01Oh, thank you.
09:02You all right?
09:03Are we doing the right thing?
09:04What, you having doubts?
09:05No, I just...
09:06I didn't think it'd be this nerve-wracking.
09:08It's good nerves, all right?
09:09Yeah.
09:10You ready?
09:11Yeah.
09:12Yeah.
09:25Congratulations!
09:28Grandad?
09:31Is that a wedding ring?
09:33Erm...
09:35Surprise!
09:42You've married Kerry.
09:43Just let me explain.
09:44She's wearing a wedding ring.
09:45What's there to explain?
09:46This is purely a financial arrangement.
09:48Why are you giving money to Kerry, no?
09:49No, no, no, no.
09:50He's not.
09:51He's not.
09:52I'm just keeping it safe.
09:53What are you talking about?
09:54Anyway, never mind.
09:55You having a go at us.
09:56What are you two doing sneaking around
09:57a registry office all bright and groom?
09:59Honestly, Jacob...
10:01I'm just keeping it safe.
10:02What are you talking about?
10:03Anyway, never mind.
10:04You having a go at us.
10:05What are you two doing sneaking around
10:07a registry office all bright and groom?
10:10Honestly, Jacob...
10:12How could you?
10:14Your wedding day is a big event
10:16which should have all the trimmings.
10:18It was supposed to be.
10:19Was it?
10:20Yeah.
10:21We were going to get everyone to the pub
10:22and then bring them here
10:23for the surprise wedding.
10:25Oh.
10:26But you lied to me.
10:27Said that you had some important meeting
10:28when you made out that you weren't even available.
10:31I would have made myself available
10:33had I known that you were getting married.
10:35You should have told me.
10:37Well, we're all here now, aren't we?
10:39So why don't we just crack on
10:41and make it a big double celebration?
10:42No.
10:43You can forget it.
10:45I did this for you.
10:47And you've gone behind my back, excuse me.
10:51Sorry, I'm going to have to...
10:53You look absolutely gorge, by the way.
10:59Are we doing this?
11:00I can't remember now.
11:01Erm.
11:03It's OK.
11:04We'll, er...
11:05We'll come back another time.
11:06Do it properly.
11:08I'm so sorry.
11:09Don't worry.
11:11Would you like to come through?
11:15I think we're going to need them.
11:19We've done a full sweep of the area.
11:21Whoever was out there has gone now.
11:22Well, if Kev comes back...
11:24He's trying to kill us.
11:25Did you actually see Mr Townsend?
11:27No.
11:28We didn't see anyone.
11:29Who else could it be?
11:30Well, there's been a lot of poachers recently.
11:32They've been targeting local farms and estates.
11:34No, it's not poachers.
11:35It's Kev.
11:36You need to find him.
11:37We're already looking for Mr Townsend.
11:38It's only a matter of time now until we track him down.
11:40Meanwhile, he's free to take pop shots at us, is he?
11:42Look, can you actually prove that he fired the shots?
11:44Useless.
11:45He's doing all he can.
11:47Look, we'll investigate this thoroughly.
11:49Patrol the village for the rest of the day.
11:51Just try not to worry.
11:52It's easier said than done on all.
11:55I'll let myself out.
12:00Erm, sorry, why is there a police car in the village?
12:02Is there?
12:03Yeah.
12:04I hope it's not down to any of you lot.
12:06Last thing I need right now is anyone getting arrested at my granddaughter's gender reveal party.
12:12As if.
12:14How's the meeting?
12:15Oh, fine, babe.
12:16Same old boring.
12:17More free bubbly?
12:18Don't mind if I do.
12:20Right, Sam.
12:21I thought you were more of a beer drinker.
12:23Hey, I'll drink out if it costs out.
12:26Man after my own heart.
12:28Noah, why are we giving away champagne?
12:29Because Bob told me then.
12:31It's all covered.
12:32Courtesy of Eric.
12:34Hi.
12:35So anyway, where are Sarah and Jacob?
12:36I must have got to get here on time.
12:37Yeah, Eric.
12:38Can you call your grandson?
12:39Tell him to get his skates on.
12:40OK.
12:43I doubt he'll pick up.
12:46Do you think I ever reacted?
12:48Do you?
12:50It was a shock them getting married behind my back.
12:54Jacob will be fine, man.
12:55He'll be giddy cos he's married.
12:58Will he?
12:59I know I am.
13:00Mrs Pollard V.
13:02Ha, ha, ha.
13:04Six, actually.
13:05Oh, it's all very Henry VIII.
13:09Hopefully, you saved the best till last.
13:15Eric, I'm joking.
13:16I know nobody would ever replace you with Valerie, would they?
13:20Oh, finally!
13:22OK.
13:23Er, please allow me to introduce...
13:28The newly married couple.
13:30Woo!
13:32Woo!
13:33What?
13:35So is it a boy or a girl?
13:37Try and keep up, eh?
13:39You married?
13:40Surprise!
13:41Well, it's certainly news to me and your grandad.
13:43Yeah, well, you would have known about it if you hadn't been so difficult.
13:46Sorry, how is any of this my fault?
13:47It really doesn't matter anyway because we didn't go through with it.
13:50Why not?
13:52Ask him and Kerry.
13:54His new wife.
13:56Who beat us to the altar.
13:57Oh, that's a joke, right?
14:04What?
14:12What are you doing here?
14:14Christmas cards.
14:16From Evan.
14:18And from Clermy.
14:19And from Lucas.
14:22Any excuse to try and worm your way back in?
14:25Come on, Kim.
14:28It's Christmas.
14:30Oh, and, er, Dawn.
14:32She wanted to invite you to dinner tomorrow.
14:35She wants to celebrate our engagement.
14:39Feel free to congratulate me.
14:41I'm busy tomorrow.
14:43You can pretend like you don't care, but we saw you watching us yesterday.
14:49At least come for the sake of the grandkids.
14:52They're not mine.
14:54They are when it suits you.
14:56It's cruel to disown them, they've done nothing wrong.
14:59Well, you should have thought about that before you moved out.
15:02You questioned my loyalty.
15:05How are we supposed to regain trust if you won't talk to me?
15:09You're still here.
15:12Okay.
15:14The invite's there, if you want it.
15:16I won't.
15:18So, this isn't a wind-up?
15:20Read it and weep.
15:22What's going on?
15:24Her and Eric have just got wed.
15:29Behave!
15:31It's true.
15:32And I've never been happy, yeah.
15:34Ew.
15:36I thought you'd be happy for us.
15:38We are.
15:40Hardly.
15:41I've been stressed out all day and this is just the icing on the cake.
15:43Stressed out about what?
15:44Hang on, is everything okay with the baby?
15:46Don't chase the subject, young lady.
15:48How could you do this to me?
15:49I hope you're going to back me up here, Cain.
15:51If it's what they want.
15:53I don't care what they want.
15:54Do you know what, after everything I've done for you.
15:56Don't have a go at me.
15:57We wanted you at the wedding.
15:58You're the one that kept saying you were too busy.
16:00Yeah, because I thought it was just some gender reveal party.
16:02And this was the excuse to get everyone together.
16:04Right, well cheers for the heads up, Belle.
16:06Typical Grant.
16:07Just blame everyone but yourself.
16:09Look, I'm sorry if you don't like it, but we didn't even get married in the end,
16:10so I don't know what you're complaining about.
16:12And do you know what you think you're hard done by?
16:14At least you didn't get beaten to the altar by them two in their sham wedding.
16:17Sarah.
16:19Nice one, Charity.
16:21Erm, can I have a word?
16:24Get lost, Grandad.
16:28I'm confused.
16:30So who's married and who's not?
16:32Just keep your head down and sup up, yeah?
16:33$4.50 please, Sam.
16:35Aye.
16:36Sorry, he's only paying for the shampers.
16:38Kerry.
16:40What did Sarah mean by sham wedding?
16:42She's just upset because we upstaged her.
16:45This is 100% genuine.
16:48I love Eric to bits.
16:50It's like a dad to us.
16:52Who marries the dad?
16:54Kerry and I have grown close since she started to look after me.
17:00Hey, it's not a crime, is it?
17:01It should be.
17:03Alright, well, if they're in love, let's leave them both to it.
17:09Are you going to kiss your bride then, Eric?
17:10Oh, no, we don't kiss in public.
17:12I know he's not that hideous.
17:14Kiss.
17:16Kiss.
17:18Kiss.
17:20Kiss.
17:22Kiss.
17:24Kiss.
17:25Kiss.
17:31Hardly the most passionate kiss I've ever seen.
17:33Best marriage for you.
17:34Oi.
17:44Lydia?
17:45Hi.
17:46Right, there's a turkey crown in the fridge.
17:47I've peeled potatoes and parsnips, ready for roasting.
17:50And the piece de resistance, my homemade prize-winning sherry trifle.
17:55Okay, I haven't won any prizes, but people always woof it down.
17:59Do I look like I want charity?
18:01I was talking about charity.
18:03You cancelled your shop.
18:05I can't let you starve over Christmas.
18:06You owe me 33 pounds and 37 pence.
18:09There's no rush whenever you're ready.
18:15You ungrateful mare!
18:17Yes, fine, me and Sam were out of order by organising that shoot,
18:21but you have done far worse in your time.
18:23There's a million and one good reasons why most of my family ate your guts,
18:27so if you're expecting a grovelling apology, you can forget it.
18:30I want nothing from you.
18:32And I want nothing more from you.
18:33Do you know, it's such a waste of energy feeling sorry for you.
18:37But I'll tell you something,
18:39if tomorrow was a year since Sam's death, heaven forbid,
18:42I wouldn't want to spend it all sad and alone.
18:44Merry Christmas!
18:58Merry Christmas, darling, wherever you are.
19:00Sir, who proposed to who, then?
19:01Did she coerce you into this?
19:04Old men can be very vulnerable.
19:06Hey, I'm not senile.
19:08Yet. It is very sudden.
19:11Then again, senile or not, at his age, can he afford to hang about?
19:15Still seems iffy to me.
19:17Oh, we love each other.
19:19Okay? Get over it.
19:20You should tell everyone the truth.
19:25No, you can't do that to your grandad.
19:27He's ruined our big day.
19:28Well, not just him.
19:30Go away, Gran.
19:32I come in peace.
19:34I think I went a bit over the top. Will you forgive me?
19:37We just wanted you to be happy for us.
19:38And I am.
19:39I just wish you'd have let me in on your little secret.
19:42I'd have dropped everything if I'd known it was your big day.
19:45But the bigger picture is, I'm so proud of you.
19:48So, should we do the honours?
19:53Belle?
19:55We're still having cake.
19:58Okay, Sarah. You cut the first slice.
20:02If it's pink, it's baby girl. If it's blue, it's baby boy.
20:05That's a bit sexist.
20:07Someone shut her up.
20:11Come on then, don't leave us all hanging.
20:13It's a girl!
20:15Yes!
20:17Oh, my God.
20:19Oh, no, is that good or bad?
20:21Oh, it's amazing.
20:23It's what we were hoping for.
20:25Hiya, it's only us.
20:27Come on.
20:29Go on.
20:31All right, Harry?
20:33Shouldn't you be in bed, son?
20:34Well, I put him to bed hours ago.
20:36I was a girl.
20:38I was a girl.
20:40I was a girl.
20:41So I'm relying on you two to wear him out.
20:43Go sit down for me.
20:45We'll do our best, but, er,
20:47as long as you feel safe being here.
20:49Full disclosure,
20:51I'll feel safer here than I do at home.
20:53Do you mind if we stay for a while?
20:55I keep thinking that Kev's gonna come after us.
20:57No, of course not. It's fine.
20:59You do know we wouldn't let Kev anywhere near either of you, though, don't you?
21:02No. Thanks.
21:03You already gave us a card.
21:05Oh, that's not from me.
21:07I found it downstairs on the map.
21:08You already gave us a card.
21:10Oh, that's not from me.
21:12I found it downstairs on the map.
21:13What was that?
21:14Kev's wedding ring.
21:15I found it downstairs on the map.
21:29What is that?
21:30Kev's wedding ring.
21:38Is that a bullet?
21:40He's not gonna stop until he kills us.
22:10he's not going to import him.
22:11That's what's going to happen.
22:12He's just a couple weeks later.
22:16Good.
22:18Good.
