00:00Silent night, holy night, all is dark, all is bright.
00:18Round yon virgin, mother and child, holy infest of tender and mild.
00:35She's still a bag of nerves, isn't she?
00:50When we find out who this is, it's going to make her Christmas.
00:54I know they had a ruck yesterday.
00:56She's been back in London for months, right? She's been hiding in secret, as Julie told me.
01:00No, no, Cat, no. She says she's having some problems, some personal stuff, all right?
01:05Can't go stormy and accusing her.
01:07Cat, sweetheart, don't give her that look, because I want to catch this nutjob as much as you do.
01:12But it ain't going to help just accusing someone, is it?
01:14So what? I just give up? No chance.
01:25Hey, sweetheart, we've been dozing.
01:27Yeah, a bit of snooze, you know.
01:30Oh, where have you been?
01:34You went out with her shopping?
01:35Lifting heavy bags are my condition.
01:38Are you pregnant?
01:39No, she's, uh, she's a bit lazy, that's all.
01:42What do you for slander?
01:46My film?
01:48Um, I don't remember watching it.
01:51You, uh, you weren't there, mate. You missed it.
01:58Take a seat, yeah, I'll explain.
02:00It's been a bit of a rough night.
02:01This is so pathetic, Linda. What has this got us on?
02:11I've got a little girl in there who's very confused and full of questions that I can't answer.
02:16Well, you can answer them, yeah? You just don't want to.
02:18You know what? Go and get your lawyer, all right? Because I am not going to let you see her again without a court order.
02:22And after the stunt you pulled yesterday, you're never going to get one.
02:27It's not your smartest move, is it?
02:29You're lucky she didn't call the police.
02:31Well, what do you want me to say?
02:33I had a good little connection with Annie, you know?
02:35I was making her laugh.
02:37I felt like I had the right time to tell her.
02:39That was the one thing that Linda asked you not to do.
02:41Four years.
02:43Four years, Jack, of my daughter's life.
02:45I'll never get back because of her.
02:48So it's why is she not bending over backwards to make it up to me?
02:51I'll tell you why, mate.
02:54I'm the bad guy.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Max Brannan.
02:58Always the bad guy.
03:01I'm sorry.
03:08I'm so sorry.
03:09Listen, mate, you've got nothing to be sorry for.
03:12Toasties.
03:13We had toasties.
03:14Yeah, that's right, we did.
03:17Care, hon.
03:18We don't need to talk about that now.
03:20My last Christmas.
03:25You do know we love you, don't you?
03:31These sputs aren't going to peel themselves, are they?
03:34They're really, really beautiful this morning, huh?
03:49Mm-hmm.
03:50And Anthony, you try your best, don't be late, yeah?
03:52I'm not sure I'm going to be there.
03:54Oh, come on, Amani, you can't miss it.
03:56You only put so much work into this thing to get out.
03:59I'll see what I can do.
04:00But there are more important things in life than carol concerts.
04:08Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it.
04:11You're the one who got the lawyers involved, and you're not getting another penny.
04:15Stay out of my way.
04:21I don't need another lecture.
04:22You haven't told Zoe yet, have you?
04:25You're never going to.
04:27When I'm good and ready, she'll know everything.
04:39What?
04:39I want a snake.
04:40I want two snakes.
04:41Hold your horses, boys.
04:42No.
04:42No one is getting a snake for Christmas, all right?
04:46What about salamander?
04:47No salamander.
04:48No exotic animals.
04:49Full stop.
04:50End of.
04:50Upstairs.
04:50Go on.
04:51Go, go, go.
04:51Grab some crisps on the way if you want.
04:55How's she been?
04:56Oh, Christmas tree.
04:57No lights on.
05:01Oh, sorry.
05:02I thought you were done.
05:06Does that hurt?
05:10Been through worse.
05:12You got your Christmas plans sorted yet?
05:14You know where you're going to be, who you're going to be with?
05:16Because you're still welcome here.
05:18Um, it's fine.
05:20I've made plans, actually.
05:23Have I done something to upset you?
05:26Merry Christmas, one and all!
05:28Yes, I think it's safe to say I'm full of the Christmas spirits.
05:37But there's plenty of sofas he can sleep on.
05:39And I'm sure he's got a little black book full of women who would happily let him drop down their chimney for Christmas.
05:46Oh, grab the end of that, will you?
05:47Look, I was with you, okay?
05:52He should never have told her.
05:54I'm not excusing it.
05:56It's just he's hurt.
05:58He's angry.
05:59I mean, we've been lying to him for years, haven't we?
06:01Put it tight at both corners.
06:03But now he has told her, and she's asking all these questions, maybe it's time you and him came together and gave us some answers.
06:11Oh, you're only doing this because you feel guilty.
06:13Yeah, well, it's partly that, but, you know, I've experienced my fair share of blended families, and all I know is kids work best when their parents ain't at war.
06:21He fired the first shot.
06:22What's best for Annie?
06:25Because this ain't going away.
06:27OK.
06:32I've been trying everything to cheer her up.
06:35The next feed, she's walking around like a Slade tribute act.
06:39I can't hear you, Kathleen.
06:41Would you prefer that I wasn't here?
06:43I just want to know where we stand.
06:45Water under the bridge, is it?
06:46What?
06:47After you accuse me of being the crazed lunatic, scaring Zoe half to death?
06:51Yes, actually.
06:53I am calling a Christmas truce.
06:56Blessing you with my forgiveness.
06:59You're welcome, by the way.
07:00We're like the rugby players.
07:02On Christmas Day, in the First World War.
07:04I think you'll find that it was football.
07:06Oh, potato.
07:07Potato.
07:08We're having a private conversation.
07:12What have you got for family for Christmas?
07:14Well, I was going to get them boxes of chocolates.
07:17Chocolates?
07:18Chocolates?
07:19That won't do.
07:20Not after everything they've done for you.
07:22Oh, you're going to have to come with me.
07:23Let me give a coat.
07:26Zoe's just having a few hours off.
07:27What the hell do you think you're doing?
07:42Yeah, but, Elaine, it's Christmas Eve, yeah?
07:44So where am I supposed to go?
07:47Elaine.
07:47No room at the inn, eh?
07:56Oh, right, you're fine, then.
07:57It's funny.
07:57Yeah.
07:58You've always had a green tube, like, you know that?
08:00Now you've got your own Cindy Lou as well.
08:02I don't even know what you're talking about.
08:06No, it's a film that proper parents watch for their kids at Christmas.
08:10I see.
08:10You just want a little dick.
08:12Yeah, it's all right.
08:12Keep digging.
08:14Look, it's just hard, all right?
08:15Seeing you lose your head over a kid you don't even know.
08:17Well, ignoring the kids, you do.
08:19Just talking about ignoring.
08:20I'm not ignoring you, Oscar, all right?
08:24What are you doing later?
08:25We'll go for a drink.
08:26Because you can fix all my daddy issues with a pint?
08:29No.
08:30No, I'll get you some pork scratches as well.
08:32Listen, you ain't got to be jealous, all right?
08:36Jealous.
08:36What?
08:38Because you never kidnapped me to go see Father Christmas.
08:40I'm not saying that, all right?
08:42I'm just saying that there's room in my life for all of you.
08:46I ain't stupid, mate, all right?
08:47I know it's going to take me being around, building trust,
08:50and proving myself to everyone.
08:54That's got to start somewhere, innit?
08:58Sad that Vic will be.
08:59Yeah.
09:01Yeah, where else?
09:02Give me one hour, all right?
09:06I'll meet you in there.
09:07One hour.
09:10Fine.
09:12But I'm only there for the scratch-ins.
09:13Stop making excuses, all right?
09:34You come sneaking in here, going through my mouth?
09:37How much more suspicious do you want to be?
09:39It fell from the side.
09:40I was just picking it back up.
09:41What are you even doing in here?
09:42I told you.
09:43I was coming to see Zach.
09:45I've had a really emotional day.
09:47I just wanted to talk to a friend.
09:50It's you, innit?
09:50I know it's you.
09:52You've had a grudge against Zoe for years, so you've snuck back here and you've been hounding
09:57her for months.
09:57Oh, God, it's rubbish all over again.
09:59Are you trying to freak her out and get in her head?
10:01Well, listen to me.
10:02It's worked, all right?
10:03She's scared with this, so stop it now.
10:06Look, I don't really know what's been going on, but whatever it is, it weren't me.
10:10Who else would be so cruel, eh?
10:12And twisted.
10:13What, do you want a list?
10:14You do know something.
10:15Look out.
10:16Honestly, I haven't got a clue.
10:19So why'd you look so shifty, eh?
10:21Why'd you come back in secret and lie about how long you've been around for and don't
10:24deny it because Julie told me?
10:26And if it ain't this, then what the hell are you doing?
10:28I've got cancer.
10:41Listen.
10:43Just listen to what she's got to say, yeah?
10:45And try and not run your mouth off.
10:47For the record, what you did was totally out of order.
11:07But despite how angry I am, and I am really angry, there's someone else who's fighting
11:15your corner and all.
11:17When can I see that funny man again, mummy?
11:23That was one of her questions this morning.
11:27Do you think she meant, like, funny, ha-ha, or funny, peculiar?
11:33Jury's out.
11:36So, as much as it pains me, it seems like she had a lovely afternoon with you.
11:43Look, it's not how I wanted it to happen, but it's out there.
11:51So, she's got questions.
11:57I think we should probably answer them together.
12:05They're telling me it's early stage breast cancer.
12:23Have they talked about treatment?
12:24Yeah.
12:25Yeah.
12:26I've met with the doctor, explained it all.
12:29Operation in the New Year to take the lump out, and they'll take some lymph nodes as well.
12:34Or I'll have some radiotherapy, and apparently I should get rid of it.
12:39That's good?
12:41Yeah.
12:42I was looking at Nigel this morning, and it's so horrible.
12:49It's so tragic, because this could be his last Christmas, you know.
12:53And then I was thinking they could do all this with me, and the cancer could still come back, and it would be mine.
13:03And if I died, who'd really care?
13:08I mean, my son, my brothers, Zach, maybe Jack.
13:14But either way, that's a really sorry funeral.
13:20I'd show up.
13:22If the drinks were free.
13:27No-one's talking about funerals, all right?
13:30Sam, if you've been in a dark place, and, I don't know, you did so much stupid because you're angry with the world, angry with Zoe,
13:38I'd rather you told me it was you, because we are terrified what they're going to do next.
13:42It wasn't me.
13:46But you know who it was?
13:48You know something?
13:51Please, Sam, just tell me.
13:54Kat, I don't know anything.
13:56To be honest with you, I'm too wrapped up in my own little world to give a damn about anyone else.
14:04But thank you for the drink.
14:08I needed that.
14:12I'm sorry I ain't been around.
14:36I mean, I didn't even know you was here, did I?
14:38And, and, you know, if he had, he would have come straight back.
14:42Yeah, of course.
14:44Because from what I've seen so far, you're very kind and very special.
14:50Well, look, none of this changes what you've got here, you know, with our family.
14:54It won't change where you live or anything like that.
14:56No, of course not.
14:58It's like Christmas, isn't it?
14:59You've got all your favourite toys, and then Christmas comes along.
15:02If you're lucky, you get some new ones.
15:04You still love the old ones the same, don't you?
15:08Hmm.
15:08I can see how much you love that one.
15:10Are you going to live here?
15:12Er, nah.
15:14Why not?
15:15Well, because not all mums and dads live together, do they?
15:17But I'm going to be really, really nearby, and eventually, you can come and stay with me.
15:26You know, I'll just hang out.
15:28Whatever.
15:30Have you, um, got any more questions, sweetheart?
15:33Yeah, go on.
15:34Yeah, ask what you want.
15:35Can Daddy watch the grints with me?
15:37Oh, I don't know.
15:40It's a bit late.
15:42She's obsessed with it at the minute.
15:43She likes the little girl in it.
15:46Must be talking about, um, Cindy Lou.
15:49Is it Cindy Lou?
15:51Yeah.
15:52Yeah.
15:52How do you know that?
15:53How do I know that?
15:54I love the grinch.
15:55My favourite film.
16:01Er, Alfie, a minute.
16:03Give me a...
16:03Give me a sec.
16:05Winston.
16:07I'm going to tell you now, I'm going to be honest with you, it's going to take you two
16:11days to defrost this bad boy, OK?
16:13You are kidding me.
16:14Well, it looks like my clunkies.
16:15Merry Christmas to you all, doesn't it?
16:17Cheers, mate.
16:18Just because a present is practical, it doesn't mean to say it's no good.
16:22I'm going to buy cat washing-up gloves for Christmas.
16:25At least the boys will love their present, and it'll keep them up those silly screens,
16:29awful screens, horrible screens.
16:31Are you drunk?
16:32No.
16:33But that is a very good idea.
16:35All right.
16:37Here we go, mate.
16:39Here we go.
16:40Yes.
16:41It's a new dawn, mate.
16:42A new era.
16:43Yeah.
16:44And that starts with one pint.
16:45OK, well, I think you'll find that's your fault.
16:48Yeah, well, I'm in the Christmas spirit, aren't I?
16:50Yeah.
16:51Me and my dad for a pint before the Carol concert.
16:54It feels like that bit in the end of that movie where Michael Caine turns nice and makes
16:58friends with all those, um, Muppets.
17:01Uh, Muppets.
17:02Yes.
17:03Yeah.
17:03That's the one.
17:04So, you meet your dad, eh?
17:05Mm-hmm.
17:05Before the concert.
17:06Mm-hmm.
17:07OK.
17:08It's kind of a fine, isn't it?
17:10There you go.
17:12Cheers, Oscar.
17:12Oh, I fancy a pint.
17:24All right.
17:24Fancy old chocolate, Tommy?
17:25Don't mind if I do.
17:28All right.
17:28You lot.
17:29You all right?
17:29Yeah.
17:29You've managed to find a gift for him.
17:39Yeah.
17:39Got an early edition of Kamoos a stranger.
17:43He'll love that.
17:45That's really nice, Zach.
17:53There we go.
17:54All right.
17:56Enjoy the Carols, yeah?
17:57Yeah, you too.
17:59Now, um, I'm not great at reading people, but from what I saw there, you've got a bit
18:10of a thing for Vicky.
18:12You are right.
18:13You ain't great at reading people, Dom.
18:19Glory to the world, our Lord has come.
18:24Let earth receive our King.
18:29Let every heart prepare you move.
18:35And heaven and nature sing.
18:37And heaven and nature sing.
18:40And heaven, heaven and nature sing.
18:51Anyone fancy the Carols?
18:52Come on.
18:55Someone needs to walk around saying bar humbug.
18:58Sounds right up the street.
18:59Mm-hmm.
19:00I was going to watch a film with Nige.
19:01Not die hard again.
19:03No, it's a wonderful life, I think.
19:05All right.
19:06So, sounds like we're going to be spending Christmas blobbing on this sort of thing.
19:10All right.
19:10Thank you, Phil.
19:12What for?
19:15Just being my brother.
19:18What I'm going through, it makes it a lot easier knowing family's around.
19:23Well, believe me, if I have any choice in the matter.
19:27Right, now, let's get this in there.
19:31She swore it weren't her.
19:34Okay.
19:35So, what are you saying, what?
19:37You're not convinced?
19:38I just think, like, we're running out of time.
19:40That message a couple of weeks ago, it ain't over yet.
19:44Merry Christmas.
19:44And then they start a fire.
19:46I'm looking around the square, and I'm thinking, this could be anyone.
19:48I haven't got a clue who it is.
19:50Kat, listen, seriously, sweetie.
19:51I know if it's going to happen tomorrow, all right?
19:52We've got a packed pub.
19:54Now, listen, if you mind, I can talk to the police again, see if they'll go on high alert.
19:59No, Zoe would hate that.
20:01Okay, okay, well then, we protect her, yeah?
20:05We keep an eye on her, all right?
20:06We want to make sure we have a great time.
20:08Oh, come on, come on, come on, it's going to be all right.
20:10Come on, let's not forget.
20:12IT'S CHRISTMAS!
20:14Oh, that hurts.
20:15Right, come on, grab your cup, let's get outside for some carols.
20:21Hey, Oscar, come on, mate, it's carol time.
20:24Hey, hey, well, it looks like you have something bad to do, huh?
20:38Yeah.
20:39Merry Christmas, Dad.
20:50Yeah.
20:51Thank you, sir.
21:12Oh, thanks for coming, sir.
21:18Oh, that'll make you, Landy, very happy.
21:24Listen to me, I know we haven't seen eye to eye.
21:29Look, it's a long time since we shared a winter warmer.
21:37I can't do this.
21:42It's cute, sat on the sofa, cuddled up, watched the whole movie.
21:49Really pleased for you, mate.
21:50That's really lovely, darling.
21:52Go on.
21:53See you in a bit, all right?
22:01Let me have a look at you.
22:02Okay, so, yeah, you're not dead.
22:05Haven't been kidnapped.
22:06Sorry, mate.
22:06What's the excuse this time?
22:08I'm sorry.
22:09I should have called you.
22:11All right, I'm sorry.
22:11I've been with Annie, no.
22:13Well, I've been sat in the pub like a mug.
22:16Oh, Jack stepped up for me, didn't he, with Linda?
22:19Oh, Jack.
22:20Oh, that's pretty.
22:21Where is...
22:21Okay.
22:22Well, let me ask you something, yeah?
22:23Why do you think he did that, hmm?
22:25Because he suddenly thinks you're the perfect dad.
22:29That's because he knows what he means to me.
22:30No, no, no, no.
22:32It's guilt.
22:34That's why he's doing it.
22:37What are you talking about?
22:37He knew about Annie.
22:41Mm-hmm.
22:42Blowing it to me as well.
22:44Yeah?
22:45Look, hey, look.
22:46I reckon half the square knows, too.
22:50We've been lying to you for months.
22:51Years.
22:53Yeah.
22:54And we're still lying now.
22:58Merry Christmas.
