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

23:32Sleep in heavenly peace.
23:37Silent night.
23:43Silent night.
23:45Holy night.
23:50At the sun.

24:07Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia.
24:14Christ the Savior is born.
24:22Christ the Savior is born.
24:52In the wicked winter, frosty winds may fall.
25:22Frosty heartless iron, water like a stone.
25:34The snow has fallen, slow felt, slow felt..
25:45The Gente.

25:47Can you join us, or what?
25:49Yeah, yeah.
25:50I've just come in.
25:50All right. What is it? I don't know. What is it?
25:55I've just got this feeling that we're going to have a really great Christmas.
25:59I hope so, darling. I really, really hope so.
26:20Oh, give them a day. Worship the beloved with me.
26:37What can I give for I have?
26:48If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb.
27:00If I were a wise man, I would do my part.
27:11I've done everything that you asked. But I've changed my mind. I don't think that she deserves this.
27:30Oh, believe me, she does.
27:37We're going to give her a Christmas she'll never forget.
27:41That say goodnight.
27:48Technically...
