00:00All is right, round yon virgin, mother and child.
00:11Oh, the inverse of tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.
00:33She's still a bag of nerves, isn't she?
00:35When we find out who this is, it's going to make our Christmas.
00:39I know they had a ruck yesterday.
00:42She's been back in London for months, right?
00:43She's been hiding in secret, because Julie told me.
00:45No, Kat, no.
00:46She says she's having some problems, some personal stuff, all right?
00:50Can't go storming and accusing her.
00:53Kat, it's sweet.
00:53I don't give you that look, because I want to catch this nudge up as much as you do.
00:57But it ain't going to help just accusing something, is it?
00:59So what?
00:59I just give up.
01:01No chance.
01:02Thanks for having me dozing.
01:12Yeah, a bit of snooze, you know.
01:14Where have you been?
01:19Went with her shopping?
01:21Lifting heavy bags are my condition.
01:23Are you pregnant?
01:24No, she's, uh...
01:25She's a bit lazy, that's awful.
01:27What do you for slander?
01:29Mike's film.
01:33Um...
01:34I don't remember watching it.
01:38You, uh...
01:40You weren't there, mate.
01:41You missed it.
01:43Take a seat, yeah?
01:44I'll explain.
01:45You had a bit of a rough night.
01:46This is so pathetic, isn't it?
01:55What has this got us all?
01:56I've got a little girl in there who's very confused.
01:59And full of questions that I can't answer.
02:01Well, you can answer them, yeah?
02:02You just don't want to.
02:03Do you know what?
02:03Go and get your lawyer, alright?
02:04Because I am not going to let you see her again without a court order.
02:07And after the stunt you pulled yesterday,
02:09you're never going to get one.
02:12Not your smartest move, is it?
02:15Your lady, she didn't call the police.
02:16Well, what do you want me to say?
02:18I had a good little connection with Annie, you know?
02:20I was making her laugh.
02:22I thought I'd have the right time to tell her.
02:24What was the one thing that Linda asked you not to do?
02:26Four years.
02:28Four years, Jack.
02:29My daughter's life.
02:30I'll never get back because of her.
02:33So it's why she's not bending over backwards to make it up to me.
02:36I'll tell you why, mate.
02:39I'm the bad guy.
02:41Yeah.
02:42Max Brannan.
02:43Always the bad guy.
02:46I'm sorry.
02:53I'm so sorry.
02:54Listen, mate, you've got nothing to be sorry for.
02:57Toasties.
02:58We had toasties.
02:59Yeah, that's right, we did.
03:02Care home.
03:03But we don't need to talk about that now.
03:05My last Christmas.
03:06You do know we love you, don't you?
03:17These sputs ain't gonna peel themselves, are they?
03:19They're really, really beautiful this morning.
03:34Mm-hmm.
03:35Anthony, you try your best, don't believe it, yeah?
03:37I'm not sure I'm going to be there.
03:39Oh, come on, Amari, you can't miss it.
03:41You're only put so much work into this thing to get out.
03:44I'll see what I can do.
03:45But there are more important things in life than carol concerts.
03:48Okay.
03:53Whatever it is, I don't want to hear it.
03:56You're the one who's got the lawyers involved,
03:58and you're not getting another penny.
04:04Stay out of my way.
04:06I don't need another lecture.
04:07You haven't told Zoe yet, have you?
04:10You're never going to.
04:12When I'm good and ready, she'll know everything.
04:24What?
04:25I want a snake.
04:26I want two snakes.
04:26Hold your horses, boys.
04:27No.
04:28No-one is getting a snake for Christmas, all right?
04:31What about salamander?
04:32No salamander, no exciting animals.
04:34Full stop, end of, upstairs.
04:35Go on, go, go, go.
04:36Grab some crisps on the way if you want.
04:40How's she been?
04:41Oh, Christmas Street.
04:42No lights on.
04:46Oh, sorry.
04:48I thought you were done.
04:51Does that hurt?
04:55Been through worse.
04:56You got your Christmas plans sorted yet?
04:59You know where you're going to be, who you're going to be with?
05:01Because you're still welcome here.
05:03Um, it's fine.
05:05I've made plans, actually.
05:08Have I done something to upset you?
05:11Merry Christmas, one and all!
05:13Yes, I think it's safe to say I'm full of the Christmas spirits.
05:18But there's plenty of sofas he can sleep on.
05:24And I'm sure he's got a little black book full of women who would happily let him drop down their chimney for Christmas.
05:30Oh, grab the end of that, will you?
05:35Look, I was with you, okay?
05:37He should never have told her.
05:39I'm not excusing it.
05:41It's just he's hurt.
05:43He's angry.
05:44I mean, we've been lying to him for years, haven't we?
05:46Put it tight at both corners.
05:48But now he has told her,
05:50and she's asking all these questions,
05:52maybe it's time you and him came together and gave us some answers.
05:56Only doing this because you feel guilty?
05:58Yeah, well, it's partly that,
05:59but, you know, I've experienced my fair share of blended families,
06:03and all I know is kids work best when their parents ain't at war.
06:06He fired the first shot.
06:07What's best for Annie?
06:10Because this ain't going away.
06:18I've been trying everything to cheer her up.
06:20The next week she's walking around like a Slade tribute act.
06:24I can't hear you, Kathleen.
06:26Would you prefer that I wasn't here?
06:28I just want to know where we stand.
06:30Water under the bridge, is it?
06:31What?
06:32After you accuse me of being the crazed lunatic,
06:35scaring Zoe half to death?
06:36Yes, actually.
06:38I am calling a Christmas truce.
06:41Blessing you with my forgiveness.
06:44You're welcome, by the way.
06:45We're like the rugby players on Christmas Day in the First World War.
06:49I think you'll find that it was football.
06:52Oh, potato.
06:53Potato.
06:53We're having a private conversation.
06:56What have you got for family for Christmas?
06:59Well, I was going to get them boxes of chocolates.
07:02Chocolates?
07:03Chocolates?
07:04That won't do.
07:05Not after everything they've done for you.
07:07Oh, you're going to have to come with me.
07:08Let me get a coat.
07:11Zoe's just having a few hours off.
07:12What the hell do you think you're doing?
07:27Yeah, but, Elaine, it's Christmas Eve, yeah?
07:29So where am I supposed to go?
07:30Elaine?
07:32Elaine?
07:38No room at the inn, eh?
07:41Oh, right, you're fine, then.
07:42It's funny.
07:42Yeah.
07:43You've always had a grin to you, right?
07:45You know that?
07:46Now you've got your own Cindy Lou as well.
07:47I don't even know what you're talking about.
07:51No, it's a film that proper parents watch for their kids at Christmas.
07:55Oh, so you just want a little dick?
07:57Yeah, it's all right.
07:57Keep digging.
07:59Look, it's just hard, all right?
08:00Seeing you lose your head over a kid, you don't even know.
08:02While ignoring the kids, you do.
08:04Just talking about ignoring.
08:05I'm not ignoring you, Oscar, all right?
08:09What are we doing later?
08:10We'll go for a drink.
08:11Because you can fix all my daddy issues with a pint.
08:14No.
08:15No, I'll get you some pork scratchings as well.
08:19Listen, you ain't got to be jealous, all right?
08:21Jealous.
08:22What?
08:23Because you never kidnapped me to go see Father Christmas.
08:26No, I'm saying that, all right?
08:27I'm just saying that there's room in my life for all of you.
08:31I ain't stupid, mate, all right?
08:32I know it's going to take me being around, building trust,
08:35and proving myself to everyone.
08:39That's got to start somewhere, ain't it?
08:43Saturday the Vic will be...
08:44Yeah.
08:46Yeah, where else?
08:50Give me one hour, all right?
08:51I'll meet you in there.
08:52One hour.
08:55Fine.
08:57But I'm only there for the scratchings.
09:05Stop making excuses, all right?
09:19You come sneaking in here, going through my mouth?
09:22How much more suspicious do you want to be?
09:24It fell from the side.
09:25I was just picking it back up.
09:27What are you even doing in here?
09:28I told you.
09:28I was coming to see Zach.
09:30I've had a really emotional day.
09:32I just wanted to talk to a friend.
09:35It's you, isn't it?
09:37I know it's you.
09:38You've had a grudge against Zoe for years,
09:40so you've snuck back here,
09:41and you've been hounding her for months.
09:43It's rubbish all over again.
09:44You're trying to freak her out and get in her head.
09:46Well, listen to me.
09:47It's worked, all right?
09:49She's scared with this, so stop it now.
09:51Look, I don't really know what's been going on,
09:53but whatever it is, it weren't me.
09:55Who else would be so cruel, eh?
09:57And twisted.
09:58What, do you want a list?
09:59You do know something.
10:01No, cut out.
10:02Honestly, I haven't got a clue.
10:04So why'd you look so shifty, eh?
10:06Why'd you come back in secret
10:07and lie about how long you've been around for
10:09and don't deny it, because Julie told me?
10:11And if it ain't this, then what the hell are you doing?
10:16I've got cancer.
10:18Listen.
10:28Just listen to what she's got to say, yeah.
10:30And try and not burn your mouth off.
10:43For the record,
10:45what you did was totally out of order.
10:48But despite how angry I am,
10:55and I am really angry,
10:57there's someone else who's fighting your corner and all.
11:01when can I see that funny man again, Mummy?
11:08That was one of her questions this morning.
11:10Do you think she meant, like, funny, ha-ha, or funny peculiar?
11:17Jury's out.
11:19So...
11:20As much as it pains me,
11:24it seems like she had a lovely afternoon with you.
11:31Look...
11:32It's not how I wanted it to happen,
11:34but it's not how I wanted it to be.
11:35But it's out there.
11:36So...
11:37She's got questions.
11:42I think we should probably answer them together.
11:50they're telling me it's early stage breast cancer they talked about treatment yeah yeah i met with
12:12the doctor explained it all operation in the new year to take the lump out and
12:17they'll take some lymph nodes as well i'll have some radiotherapy and apparently
12:22i should get rid of it that's good yeah
12:27i was looking at nigel this morning and it's so horrible it's it's so tragic because this could
12:37be his last christmas you know and then i was thinking they could do all this with me
12:42and the cancer could still come back and it would be mine
12:46and if i died who'd really care i mean my son my brothers zach maybe jack
12:59but either way that's that's a really sorry funeral
13:04i'd show up if the drinks were free
13:08no one's talking about funerals all right
13:14sam if you've been in a dark place and i don't know you did so much stupid because you're angry
13:21with the world angry with zoe i'd rather you told me it was you because we are terrified what they're
13:27gonna do next it wasn't me but you know it was you know something please sam just tell me
13:38cap i don't know anything to be honest with you i'm i'm too wrapped up in my own little world to give a

13:54i'm sorry i ain't been around i mean i didn't even know you was here did i
14:23and and you know if he had he would have come straight back yeah of course

21:07Listen to what I know, we haven't seen eye to eye.
21:14Look, it's a long time since we shared a winter warmer.
21:22I can't do this.
21:29It's cute, sat on the sofa, cuddled up, watched the whole movie.
21:34Really pleased for you, mate.
21:36That's really lovely, darling.
21:37Go on. See you in a bit.
21:39All right.
21:46Let me have a look at you.
21:47OK, so, yeah, you're not dead.
21:50Haven't been kidnapped.
21:51Sorry, mate.
21:52What's the excuse this time?
21:53I'm sorry.
21:55I should have called you.
21:56All right, I'm sorry.
21:56I've been with Annie, no.
21:58Well, I've been sat in the pub like a monk.
22:01Oh, Jack stepped up from me, didn't he, with Linda.
22:04Oh, Jack, oh, that's pretty.
22:06Where is, OK.
22:07Well, let me ask you something, yeah?
22:08Why do you think he did that, hmm?
22:10Because he suddenly thinks you're the perfect dad.
22:14That's because he knows what he means to me.
22:15No, no, no, no, no.
22:17It's guilt.
22:17That's why he's doing it.
22:22What are you talking about?
22:24He knew about Annie.
22:26Hmm?
22:27Blowing it to me as well.
22:29Yeah?
22:30Look, look, I reckon half the square knows, too.
22:35We've been lying to you for months.
22:36Years.
22:38Yeah.
22:39And we're still lying now.
22:43Merry Christmas.
22:43Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright.
23:00Round yon, virgin, mother and child,
23:10Holy, impresault, tender and high.
23:15Hey, where are you?
23:16We need to talk.
23:17Sleep in heavenly peace.
23:24Silent night, holy night.
23:44Let the plague at the sun
23:57Glories creep from heaven afar
24:01Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
24:08Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.
24:38Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.
24:56In the wicked winter
25:10Frosty winds may come
25:15Burstead hard as iron
25:21Water like the sun
25:26Snow and forest love
25:33Snow and strong
25:38In the wicked
25:41There you are. Can you join us, or what?
25:44Yeah, yeah, I'm just coming.
25:46All right. What is it?
25:48I don't know. What is it?
25:50I've just got this feeling
25:52We're gonna have a really great Christmas.
25:55I hope so, darling. I really, really hope so.
25:58Hear you later.
26:00Hear you later!
26:03Hear the seraphist from the end.
26:16Hear that they do.
26:21Worship the beloved with you.
26:29What can I give, Lord, I am?
26:43If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb.
26:54If I were a wise man, I would do my part.
27:07They thought I could give him, give him my heart.
27:19I've done everything that you asked.
27:22But I've changed my mind.
27:24I don't think that she deserves this.
27:27Oh, believe me, she does.
27:33We're gonna give her a Christmas she'll never forget.
27:37Oh, the same is who we are.
27:42We are going home.
