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