00:00Music
00:25I was crazy
00:32I was crazy
00:37and a drunk tank
00:40and a man sitting
00:45won't see another one
00:50and then we sang a song
00:54I was so excited
00:56and I was so excited
00:59I have a guy
01:01I love it
01:02I haven't seen anything
01:04I'm so excited
01:07And I have a lucky one
01:10I'm really excited
01:14I've got a feeling
01:18I love you, everyone needs to put a song.
01:48They got cars big as bars, they got rivers of gold, but the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old.
01:59When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve, you promised me Broadway was waiting for me.
02:05You were pretty queen up near your city when the band finished play.
02:10You know she's invited Adam and Alya, don't you?
02:13Oh, dumb. I mean, she could have invited one of your exes, balance it out a bit.
02:17Who's she? The cat's mother?
02:20Do you like what I got, Eva?
02:22It reminds me of that quote from the Bible, pearls before swine.
02:27Ma.
02:28What? Why is everyone so serious? Come on, it's Christmas.
02:33Our first guest has arrived.
02:35Merry Christmas.
02:37My secret Santa contribution. I hope I'm not too early.
02:40Oh, of course not. Nan's been on the eggnog since breakfast.
02:43The mouth on that. Let me get you one, Megan. Wait till you taste it. You'll die.
02:50Mwah. Don't let her get to you. Rise above it.
02:55Oh, I'm rising. Practically transcendental.
02:58Closed? Closed on Christmas Day?
03:07I mean, it's like the ravens have left the tower.
03:13They will be opening later, I believe.
03:15Family meal? I mean, lucky for some, eh?
03:18In case of I'm all right, Jack, if ever I've heard one.
03:23Happy birthday, David.
03:25Yeah, ta.
03:27Oh, yes. Happy, er, hmm, you know.
03:32Merry Christmas.
03:33You're a little late for last-minute shopping, aren't you?
03:35Oh, no, I wish. No. Wasn't late for work. See?
03:39Yes, fascinating.
03:41Ahem.
03:42I'm not surprised he doesn't want to be at home at the moment.
03:46Why?
03:47Oh!
03:48What's been happening at Lesbian Ranch?
03:51My donation for our secret Santa.
04:00Oh, yeah, erm, the table looks dead nice, Eva.
04:03I hope you'll be handing out sunglasses.
04:06Now, Ollie, as wonderful as it is to see you bonding with little Frankie here,
04:11don't you think you should go check on the food?
04:13Of course. Everything's under control, Nan.
04:17Oh, God.
04:18He's making my favourite.
04:20A bird within a bird within a bird.
04:27You seen something you don't like, Maggie?
04:29Plenty.
04:35Ta-da!
04:38Oh, I hate leaving you on your own.
04:40I'm gonna sit and mope and watch everything I've circled in the TV Guide.
04:45Mmm.
04:46Well, at least you know I'll come back sober.
04:48Yep.
04:49Kev's enough to make anyone remember.
04:51Right.
04:52Come on, then, me and you.
04:53Let's get off.
04:55To see Jack and open some presents.
04:57See you later.
04:58Oh, some presents?
04:59Your presents!
05:00It just feels weird being here.
05:01Especially when I'm leaving Leanne to fend for herself at speed, doll.
05:13Well, they invited us.
05:14And Ollie's meant to be a great cook, so...
05:16Come on.
05:17Open it.
05:21It's symbolic.
05:22Of what?
05:23The key to your heart?
05:24Listen.
05:25I love you.
05:26And I think we should move in together.
05:30In fact, we can pick up the keys for Kit's old flat at Red Bank whenever you want.
05:34Are you serious?
05:35Yeah, I'm serious.
05:36Ali and Azir, will you make me the happiest man on earth?
05:39I'll move in with them.
05:41I'd love to.
05:42I'd love to.
05:43Kit, what did you think you were doing?
05:44Come on, babe.
05:45It's Christmas.
05:46One or two won't hurt.
05:47As long as it's only one or two.
05:48It's bird within a bird within a bird sounds very...
05:52Henry VIII.
05:53Divorced, beheaded, died.
05:56Divorced, beheaded, survived.
05:57I always find that last one very disappointing.
05:59Hey.
06:00Hey.
06:01Merry Christmas.
06:02Merry Christmas, David.
06:03I always find that last one very disappointing.
06:06Hey.
06:07Hey.
06:08Merry Christmas.
06:09Merry Christmas, David.
06:10Merry Christmas, Daniel.
06:11Hello, young man.
06:12Just wanted to give Megan a Christmas present.
06:14Oh, and is this your little guy?
06:17Couldn't you just eat him?
06:19Come here to me.
06:21Oh, you're gorgeous.
06:23You must stay for dinner.
06:25We'll set two more places.
06:27We have more company.
06:29Well, I'm sure Daniel's got all the places to be.
06:31Hey, us barlows would do anything to avoid Tracy's crusty old nut roast.
06:35Perfect.
06:36We'll take the little lad upstairs to where the other kids are playing.
06:40And would someone give Daniel here a drink from the bar?
06:43Thought we weren't doing gifts.
06:45Well, aren't you going to open it?
06:47Good morning.
06:48Good morning.
06:49Good morning.
06:50Good morning.
06:55A weekend away at the Dovedale Spa for two.
06:59Oh, wow.
07:00That's supposed to be amazing.
07:04Will?
07:05Sorry about him.
07:18He's missing his girlfriend.
07:20Chloe and Hull.
07:22Bless him.
07:27So, Audrey's gone to Gales for Christmas, has she?
07:30Did she fly?
07:31Yeah, bless her.
07:32Oh, I so miss air travel.
07:34You know, the glamour of the trolley dollies, in-flight entertainments,
07:37and on one particularly memorable jaunt across the Grand Canyon,
07:41the giddy thrills of the Mile High Club.
07:44I hope you two don't want feeding.
07:47David!
07:48Worry not.
07:49We're not peripatetic noshers.
07:51We just dropped by to wish you felicitations of the season.
07:54And a happy birthday, of course.
07:57Sorry, David's a bit stressed.
07:59His birthday present from his mum's gone missing.
08:02Well, I'm not bothered.
08:03Do I look bothered?
08:04Yes, David, actually.
08:05You look incredibly bothered.
08:06Oh, the curse of the light-fingered postman strikes again.
08:09Abby Demi is not light-fingered.
08:11Abby Demi's quite fit, actually.
08:13Oh, brat.
08:14You know, Mother swore blind that she sent me Ben Shepard novelty coasters last Micklemas.
08:21Did they arrive?
08:22Did they poncho?
08:23Gail sent a picture that the delivery driver took.
08:26Whose doorstep does that look like to you?
08:28I mean, I had to make my own out of cork flooring, pastry cutter and a couple of taker breaks.
08:33Well, it's classic Gail, isn't it?
08:35She's got a postcode to a house that she lived at for four million years.
08:39Could that be Tim and Sally's?
08:41I don't want a stupid present, anyway.
08:47Oh.
08:48Now that is one hell of a moist breast.
08:53Plumptious, that's what it is.
08:55Oh, we taste buds think it's Christmas.
08:57Oh, hang on a minute.
08:58It is.
08:59It is Christmas.
09:00And compliments to the chef.
09:02Thank you, Todd.
09:03Cheers.
09:04Cheers.
09:05I'm the sous chef.
09:08Did you get my email?
09:10Oh, I'm so sorry.
09:12That's so rude of me.
09:13Yes, thank you very much.
09:15Oh.
09:16What email?
09:17Oh.
09:18Summer's got him the most amazing gift she was telling us before.
09:21Lovely.
09:22Oh, I.
09:23I'm jealous.
09:24I am.
09:25I am spitting feathers.
09:26Right, so you know he really fancies Andrew Scott.
09:28So I have got him tickets to an Andrew Scott retrospective at a film festival, including a Q&A with the man himself.
09:35Oh.
09:36Was Andrew Scott in Etty Wainthrop?
09:37Oh, lucky Etty.
09:40I don't think so.
09:42Didn't know you were such a fan of his canon of work.
09:45I don't think it was that canon he was interested.
09:48What did the kids get you for you?
09:51Was it socks and smellies?
09:52Oh.
09:53Kids, honestly.
09:54They can be so unimaginative, can't they?
09:57Do you know what Daisy got me one Christmas?
09:59What?
10:00A pencil sharpener.
10:02No, they've not got me now yet, but I'm sure that'll be rectified soon, yeah.
10:08I, erm, I got tried to form.
10:10Huh?
10:11Didn't I, love?
10:12Yeah.
10:13It's gorgeous.
10:14Oh.
10:15Oh, isn't it amazing we can get in the 50-piece shop these days?
10:18Andrew Scott, though, eh?
10:20I can't think who he is.
10:21He thinks you fancy Terry Scott.
10:23He's that hot priest in that thing where she went round being posh talking to him.
10:26Oh, yes.
10:27No, I know.
10:28I know.
10:29Yeah, yeah.
10:30Speaking of vicars, Billy's taking his time, isn't he?
10:33It's his busiest day of the year, innit?
10:35Ah, all these hot priests everywhere, eh?
10:38Ha, ha, ha.
10:39What a lucky boy you are, Todd, eh?
10:41Ha, ha, ha.
10:42This is lovely.
10:43Mm.
10:44Mm.
10:45Mm.
10:46Mm.
10:47Mm.

11:32Mm.
11:33Mm.
11:34Hey, I just wanted to check you were cool with me and Ali have been here.
11:43Maggie kind of press-ganged us.
11:45Yeah, she's good at that. It's fine, darling.
11:48You OK?
11:49My letter.
11:51Which letter? The letter?
11:54I think someone's taken it out of my bag.
12:04Look, let me have a look in your bag. Maybe a fresh pair of ice.
12:15I've done nothing but check it. Fill your boots.
12:19I don't believe that it's just fallen out somewhere.
12:21Well, if it has, someone's obviously chucked it, which is a good thing. No news is good news.
12:26I feel sick. It's not there, is it?
12:28No.
12:29Oh, do you know what? Maggie's been so off with me.
12:31But then she's like that every day, isn't she?
12:32I'm sure if she'd found it, you'd know by now.
12:34Yeah, that's true.
12:35Look, calm down. Deep breaths.
12:39All right, babe. Everything all right in here?
12:41Yeah, fine.
12:42I bet, sir.
12:48Listen, babe, I've got no problem with your ex being here but holding hands.
12:51I know, I'm sorry.
12:52What happens the next time we walk in? He's unhooking your bra.
12:55He was just giving me a pep talk.
12:56With his fingers.
12:57Babe, I was just getting warmed up about Maggie. He was just calming me down.
13:01So come to me, not Bonnie Prince Charlie.
13:03I know, I'm sorry.
13:05Look, for what it's worth, I'm sorry about my ma.
13:07Which bit?
13:08All of her.
13:10Come on, babe. Strength of the numbers.
13:12All right?
13:35Sorry to hear about your mum.
13:36It's what it is.
13:40Happens to us all eventually, I guess.
13:47You must miss her.
13:49I'm being daft, really, but...
13:51Yeah.
13:52Nothing daft about it.
13:54People are still around. You want to make the most of him.
13:56It's what we need, isn't it?
14:01What?
14:04Human contact.
14:08You haven't stolen Gail's presents.
14:11Yeah, but that looks like your doorstep.
14:14Doesn't it?
14:15That's nothing like our doorstep, you plum.
14:18Well, Mary said it was.
14:20Well, has Mary got a degree in step recognising?
14:22Well, it might have been Brian.
14:25Have you been shaming us on some sort of chat group?
14:28No, they came round for Christmas drinks.
14:30Oh, since when were you, Pally, with Brian and Mary?
14:34I'm not.
14:34You've never invited us round for Christmas drinks.
14:36Look, I'm sure I would have noticed if one of our presents said,
14:39Happy birthday, David. Love, Mum.
14:42Yeah.
14:43Yeah, I suppose.
14:44Well, you don't mind. I'm not bothered, anyway.
14:46Didn't want to tell your face that.
14:48Do you know what, Tim? Forget it.
14:49Mm.
14:55Nice, Tara.
14:56Very festive.
14:58I made that.
15:00Yeah.
15:02Bit dry.
15:04Well, now you've had your meds and some scram,
15:07you're going to leave a nice, reassuring voice note for my lady wife.
15:10No, I'm not.
15:12I'm not doing it.
15:15You know, when she realises I'm missing,
15:18she'll come looking for me.
15:19Oh, right.
15:21Do you really think so?
15:24You see, that's not the impression I got last night when she was...
15:28Oh, no, I don't want to rub it in.
15:31You can probably smell her perfume on me.
15:37If I found the evidence that you're corrupt,
15:40it's only a matter of time before this do-to.
15:43Oi, Miss World, shut your face.
15:45Just need to reply to my lease.
15:52Oh, she wants me.
16:06Maybe I'm just better than you.
16:10Oh, did I mention that we slept together last night?
16:14Again.
16:14My bad.
16:16Naughty Becky.
16:20That's what she said, actually.
16:21He's acting like you're used to a serious.
16:33Oh, come on.
16:34It's not like I got him a present.
16:36Or me.
16:36Oh, really?
16:43Well, I feel a bit daft now.
16:46Well, open it, then.
16:47I'm new here, Buds.
16:52Thanks.
16:56There you are.
16:58I feel I should be banging a gong.
17:00Come in now, will you?
17:01Dinner is served.
17:07Got a skirt on?
17:09Is it a skirt?
17:10Oh, oh!
17:11Sound of music!
17:12Yes, yes, yes!
17:13My girl, my girl.
17:15Oh, I love that film.
17:19I do.
17:19I played Maria on the ships.
17:20Oh, here we go.
17:21Oh, we did the whole thing in 40 minutes.
17:24It was basically edited highlights.
17:26It was me spinning around on the Alp,
17:28and then it cut straight to that Rolf
17:29pulling a gun on those poor kiddies.
17:31Good heavens.
17:31Oh, I thought I played kiddies.
17:33The wrong side of 30.
17:35I don't know.
17:35Still, the audience went nuts for it.
17:37I've got loads of these fascinating anecdotes.
17:39I've got loads of these fascinating anecdotes.
17:40If you've ever suffered from insomnia,
17:41phone her up and ask her about a 12-minute chitty-chitty bang.
17:43Right, here we go.
17:45Okay, it's the song.
17:46Oh, the song.
17:46It's hard to tell with your acting.
17:48Oh, shut up!
17:49Oh, yes, please, love.
17:51Okay, first.
17:52First word, first word.
17:53First word.
17:55You okay?
17:56They're not answering.
17:57Who?
17:59I'm trying to video call the kids.
18:01No.
18:02What are you doing?
18:05Oh.
18:05Oh, he's a little more tipsy than he thinks, eh?
18:09I'll, um...
18:11Good boy.
18:14Now, where is it?
18:15Exactly.
18:16This is so much better than Tracy's nuts.
18:19What is it exactly?
18:20It's a bird within a bird within a bird.
18:25Ollie?
18:25It's a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.
18:29Do you like it?
18:30Yeah, it's fantastic, isn't it?
18:31Mm, so are the roasties.
18:32And this nut roast is definitely nut crusty.
18:35My grandson is a very special cook.
18:38In fact, all my boys are special.
18:41And they deserve to be surrounded by special things, Lauren.
18:48How are the kids?
18:50Well?
18:50Yeah, fine.
18:52You're not tempted to stay with them?
18:55My boys deserve only the best.
18:58In life, in work, and especially in love.
19:05Is it time for Secret Santa yet?
19:10Food first.
19:12Fun later.
19:16So, um, do you like being a chef?
19:19I do, yeah.
19:20Yeah, well, I'm in rubbish company.
19:22I bet you're not.
19:22Nah, I am.
19:23I could burn a salad.
19:24We'll have to pouch you for speed, darling.
19:26You'll need a big pan.
19:28That wee lad's going nowhere.
19:30Wee lad?
19:31I bet you like that, mate.
19:31I think I'll always be his wee lad.
19:34A toast.
19:35To my boys.
19:37Merry Christmas.
19:38Merry Christmas.
19:39Merry Christmas.
19:40Merry Christmas.
19:43Hey.
19:45The Poland Express is on later.
19:47I thought we could all hunker down and watch it together.
19:51Don't confuse the boundaries, Kev.
19:53We did this for the lads.
19:55Confuse the boundaries?
19:57I'm not throwing me lips on you.
19:58He's won.
19:59I've lost.
19:59I'm over it.
20:00Kev.
20:00Look, he might be younger than me.
20:02He might be better looking than me.
20:03You don't.
20:04You know what?
20:04I can't call with this.
20:05I've got to text Carl telling me what's going on.
20:08Alfie?
20:09We need to go now, kiddo.
20:11Can you hurry up?
20:12We need to go now, kiddo.
20:17We need to go now, kiddo.
20:19We need to go now, kiddo.
20:21We need to go now, kiddo.
20:39Mobile, answer call on speakerphone.
20:43Colin?
20:45Colin, are you there?
20:46They have a weird concept, isn't it?
20:52Secrets on tap.
20:53Well, it's a bit weird buying vouchers for spa weekends
20:56for people you hardly even know.
20:58It's a family tradition.
21:00Do you know what? I actually do need socks.
21:02I said that this morning, didn't I?
21:03She did.
21:04Your pillow talk is outrageous.
21:06And the next one is for...
21:11Drum roll, please.
21:17Ben!
21:18Oi-hey!
21:22Is it a jigsaw?
21:24Oh, come on, what is it?
21:25Wouldn't you like to know?
21:30To my baby.
21:32Give it to me.
21:32Let him read it.
21:33Ben, give it to me, please, give it to me.
21:35I said, let him read it.
21:38You bitch!
21:39Let my son read the lovely gift I got him.
21:43What is it?
21:44Oh, just evidence of an affair.
21:46What?
21:47Between Eva and Adam.
21:54Come on.
22:03Why are you so intent on killing our relationship?
22:14Maybe I don't want my son to be with a two-timing tart.
22:18Read it out to the group.
22:19Ma.
22:20It's a letter to the baby she aborted
22:22when she and Ben were going through a rough patch.
22:26Rough patch?
22:27He probably gave her a few dirty looks.
22:30He went back to his wife?
22:31And you went running back to the groin of his lordship here.
22:35I'm sorry.
22:37Adam, my rock.
22:39This is true.
22:40Your words, not mine.
22:41There was no affair.
22:42I don't think that Adam's...
22:43Babe, I can explain.
22:44Well, go ahead, then.
22:45And Adam continued to be her rock
22:47when she aborted their child.
22:50Oh, you're not a very nice person, are you?
22:52Do you know the worst of it?
22:53It's still going on.
22:54Oh, please.
22:55No, I'm not having it.
22:56It's not because it wasn't in the first place, babe, I promise.
22:59Well, it's got enough all to do with you.
23:01Is this why you two were holding hands earlier?
23:02What? No!
23:04Are you happy now?
23:05Not by a long shot.
23:07Because you have broken my son's heart.
23:09Whether or not Eva had an abortion is, frankly, none of your business.
23:12Is it not, frankly?
23:14Well, isn't it a woman's right to choose?
23:16What she chose was infidelity.
23:18What kind of a mother are you?
23:20Daniel.
23:20To do this to your own family?
23:22And on Christmas Day?
23:23You can take that smirk off your face and all.
23:25Mate, I'm not smirking.
23:26Nothing happened.
23:27Who do you think you're giving your dirty looks to?
23:29You're completely misreading the situation.
23:30Aye.
23:31Well, misread this.
23:32Yeah, don't worry, Betsy.
23:41I'm fine.
23:42I'm having a really lovely holiday.
23:46Only Roy rang the hotel and you're not staying there.
23:50No, I had to move in the end.
23:54I'm staying at a new place now.
23:56It's called Rhubarb Hill Hotel.
24:01Rhubarb Hill Hotel?
24:02Yeah, yeah.
24:03I'm in the busing suite.
24:06Well, I hope you're having a good time.
24:08I'm missing you.
24:22James, get dressed and get up.
24:24Abby's on her way back.
24:25What?
24:26Just hurry up.
24:27Be quiet.
24:27I'm calling her.
24:31Hiya, love.
24:32Where are you?
24:33I'm just outside the main door.
24:35Wicked.
24:36Listen, would you do me a favour?
24:37Would you just go to the car and get me charger out of the glove box, please?
24:41I haven't got the keys.
24:43Oh, but I thought you always had them.
24:45Oh, God, you lazy.
24:47Oh, no, hang on.
24:48I tell her I've got them here.
24:49Yeah, do you mind?
24:50Yeah, of course.
24:51I'm running out of juice.
24:52Yeah, of course I can.
24:53Just give us a sec.
24:55Right, well, come on.
24:57We need to go and get Cal's charger.
24:59Let's charge you.
24:59Let's make it.
25:00One more move like that and I'm phoning the police.
25:14Why do you hate me so much?
25:17Sit down.
25:18This could take some time.
25:19Oi.
25:20Have you got anything to say for yourself?
25:22Oh, I've got plenty.
25:23And don't you oi me.
25:25Lies.
25:25All lies.
25:26I never had an affair with Adam.
25:28The letter says different.
25:29He supported me while...
25:31How can you trust a silly word she says?
25:32Well, I was supporting our baby.
25:34What?
25:34The baby was ours.
25:48What was with that stupid hotel name?
25:51Well, I don't know.
25:52Do I?
25:53I didn't think on my feet.
25:54You had a knife pointing at me.
25:57I don't know why I said rhubarb or whatever.
25:59You're giving me a headache.
26:01Do you talk like this with Lies?
26:03No wonder she's gone off you.
26:05Biggest regret of my life, she said.
26:07Meeting Carla.
26:09The biggest regret of my life is following you here.
26:12You did not.
26:14Because I'd have known.
26:17Don't lie.
26:20Okay.
26:22All right.
26:23Costello told me the address.
26:26The rest you do know.
26:27What rest do I know?
26:29That I broke in here.
26:30That you caught me red-handed.
26:34You know, but if I were you,
26:36I wouldn't have left an incriminating burner phone
26:39just lying around linking me to a hit on Costello.
26:43You're so boring.
26:46Right.
26:48Well, I can't stand around here chewing the cud all day.
26:50People to see.
26:52Wives to bed.
26:54So she's not your wife, is she?
26:57Because you're officially dead.
26:59So that makes her your widow.
27:01Funny you mention dead.
27:04Because Lisa
27:05said that sleeping with you
27:08was like going to bed
27:11with a corpse.
27:13Happy Christmas, Ducky.
27:20Oh.
27:31Oh.
27:32Oh.
27:33Somewhere.
27:33Oh.
27:35Oh, now that is what I call a beautiful set of conflicts.
27:39Aren't you lucky?
27:41You.
27:41Yeah.
27:43It was a good service, Billy.
27:44It was.
27:45It was lovely.
27:46Was it all Christmas?
27:47It was.
27:48It was.
27:48We had carols around the crib
27:50and mince pies afterwards.
27:52Oh, mince pies.
27:53You should have gone, George.
27:54Oh.
27:55Was there, um,
27:57mulled wine?
27:58It's a family service, love.
27:59Not happy hour at the legs of man.
28:02You all right over there, Theo?
28:04You're looking a bit...
28:05Oh, sorry.
28:06Oh.
28:06Oh.
28:07Are we out staying our welcome?
28:08Oh, no, no, no, no.
28:09Oh, wait.
28:10Tell us.
28:11Well, no, you can tell me.
28:12I mean, I'm very hard to offend.
28:15Unless it's racism.
28:16I do take offence at that.
28:18No, no, honestly, of course not.
28:19You're fine.
28:20You're a worse actor than she is.
28:24I think that's bullying, that.
28:26I'm going to touch my union.
28:28National Union of Brace and Barmates.
28:32Speaking of which, shall we, um...
28:34Shall we adjourn to the Rovers?
28:36Oh, no, no, no.
28:37Don't leave on my account.
28:38Although I think old Torrington's ready for a lie down, isn't you?
28:41Yeah, you are looking a bit quiet over there, mate.
28:43I think he's had one of the eight.
28:45I'm fine.
28:46That's what they all say.
28:47I'll tell you what, Billy, he'll miss you.
28:49Found out today he's got a thing for old priests.
28:51Have to get myself a dog collar.
28:53Joe, what's under your catter?
28:56All right, well, um...
28:57Yeah, well, well, nice to see you both.
29:00I'll be here briefly.
29:01Come here.
29:02Yeah, sorry about that.
29:05You get your bag and I'll get your coat.
29:07Come here.
29:09Merry Christmas.
29:10And thanks ever so much.
29:14Bye, love.
29:14Bye, Summer.
29:16Yeah, get that.
29:17All right.
29:19Bye.
29:19You know full well when we were going through a rough patch.
29:22And you know full well why we were.
29:24Don't put that on me.
29:25So this abortion's on me, is it?
29:26The only thing that I regret about that termination is not telling you.
29:31But babe, how could I?
29:32How could I bring the baby into that?
29:34You weren't even taking my calls.
29:35You were living back with the dragon.
29:37Don't call her that.
29:38And whenever we did talk to each other, we were just taking shots.
29:41And yet you still got pregnant by me.
29:44Allegedly.
29:44Don't you dare.
29:48Sorry.
29:49I was in no fit state to bring a baby and Susie up on my own.
29:54Now, if I'd have thought for one second that we were going to get back together, I would have told you.
30:00So where does Adam fit into all of this?
30:01He doesn't.
30:02Not really, except the fact that he was a supportive friend.
30:05He was meeting a client in Hull.
30:07I bumped into him at the Paragon Interchange.
30:09He was getting the train.
30:10I was getting the bus.
30:11Kismet.
30:14Just to let you know, your pub is open.
30:18Oh.
30:18Oh, it's my pub when it suits you.
30:21Well, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to put a shift in, Maggie.
30:23Get your hands as dirty as your tongue.
30:25Are you going to let her speak to me like that?
30:31Very exciting to be summoned here like this.
30:34It's very nice.
30:35Quite palatial.
30:38Mind you, you must be earning a bob or two now, aren't you?
30:41So you've actually spoken to Carla?
30:44Not me, Betts.
30:46Oh.
30:47So, how is she?
30:50What did she say?
30:51She said she was at a hotel.
30:53I can't believe Betts actually spoke to her.
30:55It's reassuring, though.
30:57Is it?
30:58I want to be.
30:59Well, doesn't it just confirm what you've been worrying about all along?
31:04That she's ignoring you blatantly?
31:06Well, I think I'll make a very good barrister, I will, because I've got a very incisive mind and also I'll look great in the wig and the...
31:16Oh, I see.
31:18My glass appears to be almost entirely empty.
31:21It's a box.
31:22It's warm, though, isn't it, in here?
31:24It's probably evaporating.
31:28Hi, Bonnie, I'm home.
31:31Oh, we have company.
31:33Merry Christmas, stranger.
31:35Is that the sister?
31:36This is Roy's friend, Evelyn.
31:40Hi, I'm Kim.
31:42I spoke to Carla.
31:44Brilliant, finally.
31:46How was she?
31:47It's hard to tell, really.
31:49Erm, what are you doing?
31:52I'm ringing her.
31:53Oh, please.
31:55What?
31:56Like she's going to answer?
32:00Don't you think you should just face facts, love?
32:03And what's that?
32:03You know, maybe.
32:07Maybe?
32:08Maybe.
32:10She's just not cut out to be a lesbian.
32:13No, a lot of people aren't.
32:16No, I wasn't.
32:20Sorry to send you on a wild goose chase.
32:22I honestly thought my charger was in the car.
32:25Forget me only if it wasn't screwed on.
32:26So, what have you been up to then while me and Kev have been pretending to play up with families?
32:30Oh, just watching paint dry.
32:33Hmm, well, sounds like me and you have had very similar days.
32:37Shall we, erm...
32:40Shall we make up for it now?
32:42Not exactly what you're thinking of.
32:44Well, come to the bedroom and I'll show you.
32:48Dad!
32:54What's that aftershave you're wearing? It smells different.
32:56Must be that old shower gel I used earlier.
32:59What's this?
33:00It's nice, isn't it?
33:03I found it down the side of the couch.
33:05Must be the previous tenants.
33:10Now, where were we?
33:12En route to the bedroom.
33:14On a one-way ticket to paradise.
33:15I often wonder if you're a statue, because you've got one hell of a brass neck on you.
33:29That secret Santa stunt was evil.
33:32I am a grandchild down because of you.
33:35Are you not going to defend me here, Ben?
33:37Why should I?
33:38She's right, it was evil.
33:40I'm not bothered.
33:41Put that drink down, ma.
33:46And get out of my house now.
33:48I beg your pardon?
33:49I want you gone.
33:50Are you going to side with that little tart over me?
33:56Right first time.
33:57His poor beautiful face.
34:15What did you hit him?
34:17Wasn't me.
34:18When a man gets hit like that, usually over a woman.
34:22Maybe someone's got the hots for Elia.
34:24Who doesn't have the hots for Elia?
34:28Did I just say that out loud?
34:30Yes, George.
34:32Keep it down.
34:33People might think we're swingers.
34:34Oh, like these two.
34:36Behave yourself Mary's if we're swingers.
34:38I'll know what you're doing later.
34:42Gonna have a nice shiner, thanks to you.
34:43You had no right.
34:44Oh, shut up.
34:46No, he's right.
34:48Adam, I'm sorry.
34:51I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.
34:52I've just spoken with the weaver and she's explained everything.
34:57Accept my apology.
35:00Well, this won't be a Christmas that we forget any time, shoot.
35:03You've got a lot to save yourself.
35:06Eh?
35:07Sorry.
35:09And Elia, you've got to believe Adam.
35:11None of it's true.
35:12Oh, I never believed a word.
35:13But you want to have a word with your mother.
35:15Has she calmed down?
35:16She's packing her bags.
35:19Vastity to leave.
35:20What?
35:22Any sign of Megan?
35:23She's gone, oh.
35:25She don't feel well.
35:26She wanted me to tell you, but whoops.
35:29I forgot.
35:30All right.
35:33Listen.
35:35I know that you've got the hots for your teacher, you little git.
35:38But how about you leave her for the grown-ups, eh?
35:39There's a good life.
35:40Right.
35:41Thanks very much for a memorable day.
35:45Shall we go next door?
35:50Hey.
35:51I always wondered why you were so weird.
35:53But now that I've seen what your granny's capable of,
35:56it's all slipping into place.
36:06Oh, I love you.
36:07Oh, I love you.
36:10David!
36:12David!
36:16Where have you been?
36:18Er, manners, Will.
36:20Been helping Lauren with Frankie so she could work.
36:22Daniel's already gone.
36:23He said to say to her and that.
36:25Er, you need to be careful.
36:28Do I?
36:29Yes, Will, you do.
36:31You were so vile to Daniel today.
36:33Classic.
36:34I defend him, why don't you?
36:36You're going to give the game away at this rate.
36:38I'm the state of him.
36:39You know, he had his hands all over my woman.
36:43You're drunk.
36:44What's she going to be like on your little weekend away?
36:48Oh, do you know what?
36:51I can't be doing with you when you're like this.
36:59Weird.
36:59I'm sorry, what is that?
37:02It's a stimulator.
37:03Your own mother has got you a...
37:04It's a vagus nerve stimulator.
37:07David, not in front of Lily.
37:08No, no, it's totally sleep.
37:10Shut up!
37:10No, that's what it is.
37:12It's an actual sleep aid.
37:13What?
37:14Granny Gail's texted.
37:15She said she's sent us all a video.
37:16Oh, get it up.
37:17Get it up on tablet.
37:17Go on.
37:18Should we not wait for Andy's hair and uncle, let's go?
37:19Well, she's put it on plat chart, hasn't it?
37:21She can see it on there.
37:22Oh, I can't believe she sent a video.
37:24One of the longest marriages, is this?
37:36Shh.
37:36Thank you, David, for my extra large jar of olives.
37:43Very funny.
37:45I hope you've all been having the most wonderful day.
37:49And, of course, David, happy birthday.
37:56How can it be 35 years since I first held you in my arms?
38:03I hope by now you've unwrapped your sleep aid.
38:08I just wanted to say that, though I may be far away,
38:16you're all very much in my thoughts.
38:19And David and Shona, you and your baby are utmost in my heart.
38:30Life is never easy.
38:34Life is never straightforward.
38:38But we're a strong, resilient family.
38:43And we can weather any storm.
38:46So, I love you all very much.
38:52So, till the next time we speak,
38:55as the famous carol says,
38:58the hopes and fears of all the years
39:08are met in thee tonight.
39:12I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
39:22Happy Christmas.
39:24Happy Christmas.
39:24That was nice.
39:25Yeah, it was a lovely, happy Christmas.
39:27I just wanted to say thank you.
39:35What for?
39:38What are you for?
39:40And just being so nice and patient today.
39:44It's our first Christmas, isn't it?
39:48Wanting to be special.
39:52In that case, thank you, too.
39:54For what?
39:56For being you.
39:58Your authentic self.
40:02Can't be easy.
40:04You know, with your various issues.
40:06Unless you were being sarcastic.
40:11I wasn't.
40:15Stand up.
40:18You sure you weren't being sarcastic?
40:20Yeah.
40:26You sure?
40:33Merry Christmas, Todd.
40:34Isn't that, um, Ojemaflip?
41:04Maggie, yes.
41:04From the pub?
41:05Correct, yes.
41:06Well, introduce me.
41:07I've never met her.
41:08And, you know, if we pull up,
41:09I'm thinking free drinks.
41:11Hello.
41:14Oh, I say, what a beautiful coat.
41:16I love that colour.
41:18Merry Christmas, Maggie.
41:19I don't know if you met my dear friend,
41:24Evelyn Plummer.
41:24Merry Christmas to you.
41:26And may 2026 bring you everything
41:28you wish yourself and more.
41:31Are you off travelling?
41:34Are you all right, Maggie?
41:36No.
41:36Any idiot can see she's not all right.
41:38She's in pieces.
41:39Oh, let's just say
41:41I've fallen out with Ben.
41:44Oh, dear.
41:45Who's Ben?
41:47My son.
41:48Well, maybe it's just bad karma,
41:51you know,
41:52because you shut the pub on Christmas Day.
41:54We were having a family meal,
41:57but everything went awry.
42:01Well, if there's anything I could do.
42:04Do you know any decent hotels around here?
42:08Well, I could drive you over to Chariot Square,
42:11if you like.
42:13Good thinking, Batman.
42:15And could you call ahead when we're en route?
42:19My phone is running out of juice.
42:21Just tell them one night,
42:23one person with breakfast,
42:26and try and get a free upgrade to a suite.
42:28Oh, I'm rather sorry
42:33we came over in the first place.
42:40And relax.
42:41My lady.
42:49Why, good sir.
42:54I'm sorry.
42:56Isn't that my line?
42:58I should have been there for you.
43:00We got there eventually, didn't we?
43:04I'll never let you down again.
43:11I'll never let you down again.
43:41I'll never let you down again.
44:11I'll never let you down again.
44:12I'll never let you down again.
44:13I'll never let you down again.
44:14I'll never let you down again.
44:15I'll never let you down again.
