00:26It was Christmas Eve
00:30And the drunk tank
00:34And on that setting
00:38Won't see another one
00:42And then I sang a sound
00:46The rare old mountain tune
00:50I turned my face away
00:54I turned my face away
00:58And dreamed about you
01:02Got on a lucky one
01:06Came in like 10 to one
01:10I've got a feeling
01:14Plus years remaining
01:18So happy Christmas
01:22I love you baby
01:26I can see
01:28A better time
01:30Thank you
01:32When all our dreams
01:34Go true
01:36They got cars
01:46Big as bars
01:48They got rivers of gold
01:50But the windows right through you
01:52It's no place for the old
01:54When you first took my hand
01:56On a cold Christmas Eve
01:58You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
02:00You were handsome
02:02You were pretty queen
02:04And for the spring
02:06You know she's invited Adam and Alya
02:08Don't you?
02:10I mean she could have invited one of your axes
02:11Balance it out a bit
02:12Who's she?
02:14The cat's mother?
02:16Do you like what I got Eva?
02:18It reminds me of that quote from the bible
02:20Pearls before swine
02:22Ma

02:50Oh I'm rising
02:51Practically transcendental

04:07Of course
04:10Everything's under control Nan
04:13He's making my favourite

04:52See you later

04:54Your presents
04:55It just feels weird being here
04:56Especially when I'm leaving Leanne to fend for herself at speed dar
05:09Well they invited us
05:10And all these men have been a great cook so
05:12Come on open it
05:16It's symbolic
05:17Of what?
05:18The key to your heart?
05:20Listen
05:21I love you
05:22And I think we should move in together
05:25In fact
05:26We can pick up the keys for Kit's old flat at Red Bank
05:29Whenever you want
05:30Are you serious?
05:31Yeah I'm serious
05:32Ali and Nazir
05:33Will you make me the happiest man on earth?
05:35I'll move in with them
05:37I'd love to
05:42Kurt what did you think you were doing?
05:43Ah come on babe it's Christmas
05:44One or two won't hurt
05:46As long as it's only one or two
05:48It's bird within a bird within a bird
05:50Sounds very
05:52Henry VIII
05:53Mm
05:54Divorced
05:55Beheaded
05:56Died
05:57Divorced
05:58Beheaded
05:59Survived
06:00I always find that last one very disappointing
06:03Hey
06:04Hey
06:05Merry Christmas
06:06Merry Christmas Daniel
06:07Hello young man
06:08Just wanted to give Megan a Christmas present
06:09Oh and is this your little guy?
06:12Couldn't you just eat him?
06:14Come here to me
06:16Oh you're gorgeous
06:19You must stay for dinner
06:21We'll set two more places
06:22We have more company
06:24Well I'm sure Daniel's got all the places to be
06:27Hey us barlows would do anything to avoid Tracy's crusty old nut roast
06:31Perfect
06:32We'll take the little lad upstairs to where the other kids are playing
06:35And would someone give Daniel here a drink from the bar?
06:39Thought we weren't doing gifts
06:41Well aren't you going to walk on it?
06:42What's the problem?
06:47So
06:49A weekend away at the Dovedale Spa for two
06:55Oh wow
06:56That's supposed to be amazing
06:58Thank you
07:00Will?
07:01Sorry about him
07:13He's missing his girlfriend
07:15Chloe and Hull
07:18Bless him
07:22So, Audrey's gone to Gales for Christmas has she?
07:25Did she fly?
07:26Yeah, bless her
07:28Oh, I so miss air travel
07:29You know the glamour of the trolley dollies
07:32In-flight entertainments
07:34And on one particularly memorable jaunt across the Grand Canyon
07:37The giddy thrills of the Mile High Club
07:40I hope you two don't want feeding
07:43David?
07:44Worry not, we're not peripatetic noshers
07:47We just drop by to wish you felicitations of the season
07:50And a happy birthday of course
07:52Sorry, David's a bit stressed
07:54His birthday present from his mum's gone missing
07:57Well I'm not bothered, do I look bothered?
07:59Yes, David, actually you look incredibly bothered
08:02Oh, the curse of the light-fingered postman strikes again
08:05Abidemi is not light-fingered
08:07Abidemi's quite fit actually
08:09Oh broad
08:11You know, mother swore blind
08:13That she sent me Ben Shepard novelty coasters last Michaelmas
08:16Did they arrive?
08:18Did they poncho?
08:19Gale sent a picture that the delivery driver took
08:22Whose doorstep does that look like to you?
08:23I mean, I had to make my own out of cork flooring, pastry cutter and a couple of taker breaks
08:28Well it's classic Gale, innit?
08:30She's got a postcode to a house that she lived at for four million years
08:34Could that be Tim and Sally's?
08:37I don't want a stupid present anyway
08:39Oh, now that is one hell of a moist breast
08:49Plumptious, that's what it is
08:51Oh, we taste buds think it's Christmas
08:53Oh, hang on a minute, it is!
08:55And compliments to the chef
08:57Thank you, Todd
08:58Cheers
09:00Well, I'm the sous chef
09:04Did you get my email?
09:06Oh, I'm so sorry, that's so rude of me
09:09Yes, thank you very much
09:11What email?
09:13Summer's got him the most amazing gift she was telling us before
09:17I'm jealous
09:18I am, I am spitting feathers
09:20Right, so you know he really fancies Andrew Scott
09:22So I have got him tickets to an Andrew Scott retrospective at a film festival
09:27Including a Q&A with the man himself
09:30Oh, was Andrew Scott in Hettie Wainthrop?
09:33Oh, lucky Hettie
09:35I don't think so
09:37Didn't know you were such a fan of his canon of work
09:41I don't think it was that canon he was interested in
09:45Ah, what did the kids get you for you, was it socks and smellies?
09:48Oh, kids, honestly
09:49They can be so unimaginative, can't they?
09:52Do you know what Daisy got me one Christmas?
09:54What?
09:56A pencil sharpener
09:58No, they've not got me now yet, but I'm sure that'll be rectified soon
10:03I got to try the form, didn't I, love?
10:07Yeah, it's gorgeous
10:08Oh, isn't it amazing we can get in the 50 piece shop these days
10:12But Andrew Scott though, eh?
10:15I can't think who he is
10:16He thinks you fancy Terry Scott
10:18He's that hot priest in that thing where she went round being posh talking to him
10:21Oh, yes, no, I know, I know, yeah, yeah
10:24Speaking of vicars
10:25But he's taking his time, isn't he?
10:28He hasn't his busiest day of the year, innit?
10:30No
10:31Ah, all these hot priests everywhere, eh?
10:34What a lucky boy you are, Tor, eh?
10:37This is lovely
10:39Really good
10:40You all right, Lisa Lou?
10:47Erm, I got a text from Roy
10:50He says you rang the hotel, that car had bought telling you she never checked in
10:54Oh, no biggie
10:55Maybe she changed her mind and went somewhere else
10:58Well, obviously she went somewhere else
11:00The question is where, and she's disabled the tracker on her phone, so...
11:04Right
11:06Well, I'm nipping out for an hour
11:08What now?
11:10Well, I can't divulge too much, but even on Christmas Day, there's stuff I need to sort for Spain
11:15Crikey, you're in and out more times than her then, Carla
11:18Sorry
11:20Mm-hmm
11:23Sorry
11:24Hey, I just wanted to check you were cool with me and Ali have been here
11:39Maggie kinda press ganged us
11:41Yeah, she's good at that, it's fine, darling
11:43You okay?
11:45My letter
11:47Which letter? The letter?
11:48I think someone's taken it out of my bag
11:51Look, let me have a look in your bag, maybe a fresh pit of ice
12:09I've done nothing but check it, fill your boots
12:12I don't believe that it's just fallen out somewhere
12:17Well, if it has, someone's obviously chucked it, which is a good thing, no news is good news
12:21I feel sick, it's not there, is it?
12:23No
12:24Oh, do you know what? Maggie's been so off with me
12:26But then she's like that every day, isn't she?
12:28I'm sure if she'd found it, you'd know by now
12:29Yeah, that's true
12:31Look, calm down
12:32Deep breaths
12:34All right, babe
12:35Everything all right in here?
12:36Yeah, fine
12:38I bet so, erm
12:43Listen, babe, I've got no problem with your ex being here but holding hands
12:47I know, I'm sorry
12:48What happens the next time we walk in? He's unhooking your bra
12:50He was just giving me a pep talk
12:52With his fingers
12:53Babe, I was just getting wound up about Maggie, he was just calming me down
12:56Well, so come to me, not Bonnie Prince Charlie
12:58I know, I'm sorry
13:00Look, for what it's worth, I'm sorry about my ma
13:02Which bit?
13:03Ha, all of her
13:06Come on, babe, strengthen the numbers
13:23You all right?
13:30I'm sorry to hear about your mum
13:33It is what it is
13:35Happens to us all eventually, I guess
13:37You must miss her
13:38I'm being daft really, but...
13:39Yeah
13:40Nothing daft about it
13:42People are still around, you want to make the most of him
13:43It's what we need, isn't it?
13:44What?
13:45Human contact
13:46We haven't stolen girls' presents
13:48Yeah, but that looks like your doorstep
13:49Doesn't it?
13:50It's nothing like our doorstep, you plum
13:51Well, Mary said it was
13:52Well, has Mary got a degree in step recognising?
13:53Well, it might have been Brian
13:54Have you been shaming us on some sort of chat group?
13:55No, they...
13:56They...
13:57They...
13:58They...
13:59It's what we need, isn't it?
14:00What?
14:01Human contact
14:04We haven't stolen girls' presents
14:07Yeah, but that looks like your doorstep
14:09Doesn't it?
14:11It's nothing like our doorstep, you plum
14:14Well, Mary said it was
14:15Well, has Mary got a degree in step recognising?
14:18Well, it might have been Brian
14:20Have you been shaming us on some sort of chat group?
14:23No, they...
14:24They came round for Christmas drinks
14:25Ooh, since when were you, Pally, with Brian and Mary?
14:29I'm not
14:30You've never invited us round for Christmas drinks
14:32Look, I'm sure I would have noticed if one of our presents said
14:34Happy birthday, David, love, Mum
14:37Yeah
14:39Yeah, I suppose
14:40Well, you don't mind, I'm not bothered, anyway
14:41I didn't want to tell your face that
14:43Do you know what, Tim? Forget it!
14:48Mmm
14:50Nice ta
14:51Very fisted
14:54I made that
14:56Yeah
14:58Bit dry
15:00Well, now you've had your meds and some scram
15:03You're gonna leave a nice reassuring voice note for my lady wife
15:06No, I'm not
15:08I'm not doing it
15:11You know, when she realises I'm missing, she'll come looking for me
15:15Oh, right
15:17Do you really think so?
15:19You see, that's not the impression I got last night when she was...
15:24Oh, no, I don't want to rub it in
15:27You can probably smell her perfume on me
15:29If I found the evidence that you're corrupt, it's only a matter of time before there's due to
15:38Oi, Miss World, shut your face
15:40Just need to reply to my lease
15:41Just need to reply to my lease
15:45Just need to reply to my lease
15:48Oh, she wants me
16:01Maybe I'm just better than you
16:05Oh, did I mention that we slept together last night?
16:09Again
16:11My bad, Naughty Becky
16:13That's what she said, actually
16:16He's acting like you used to a serious
16:28Oh, come on, it's not like I got him a present
16:31Or me
16:33Oh, really?
16:37Well, I feel a bit daft now
16:40We're up in it, then
16:42New earbuds
16:48Thanks
16:52There you are
16:54I feel I should be banging a gong
16:56Come in now, will you?
16:57Dinner is served
17:03Got a skirt on?
17:05It's a skirt
17:07Sound of music!
17:09My girl, my girl
17:10Hey!
17:12Oh!
17:13I love that film
17:15I played Maria on the ships
17:17Oh, here we go, here we go
17:18We did the whole thing in 40 minutes
17:20It was basically edited highlights
17:22It was me spinning around on the Alp
17:24And then it cut straight to that Rolf pulling a gun on those poor kiddies
17:27Good heavens
17:29They're the wrong side of thirds
17:31Still, the audience went nuts for it
17:33I've got loads of these fascinating anecdotes
17:34Are Glenda
17:35No, if you ever suffer from insomnia
17:36Phone her up and ask her about a 12-minute chitty-chitty banquet
17:39Right, here we go
17:40Okay, it's the song
17:42It's hard to tell with your acting
17:43Oh, shut up!
17:45Five words?
17:46Yes, please, love
17:48First word, first word
17:50You okay?
17:52They're not answering
17:53Do you have a video called The Kids?
17:56No!
17:58What are you doing?
18:02Always a little more tips than anything, sir
18:05I'll, um...
18:07No words
18:10Exactly
18:11But this is so much better than Tracy's nuts
18:14What is it exactly?
18:17It's a bird within a bird within a bird
18:20Ollie?
18:22It's a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey
18:25Do you like it?
18:26Yeah, it's fantastic, isn't it?
18:27Mmm, so are the roasties
18:29And this nut roast is definitely not crusty
18:31My grandson is a very special cook
18:33In fact, all my boys are special
18:37And they deserve to be surrounded by special things, Lauren
18:44How are the kids well?
18:46Yeah, fine
18:47You're not tempted to stay with them?
18:51My boys deserve only the best
18:54In life, in work, and especially in love
19:03Is it time for Secret Santa yet?
19:05Food first
19:07Fun later
19:11So, um...
19:13Do you like being a chef?
19:14I do, yeah
19:16Yeah, well I'm in rubbish company
19:17I bet you're not
19:18Nah, I am
19:19I could burn a salad
19:20We'll have to pouch you for speed, darling
19:22You'll need a big pan
19:24That wee lad's going nowhere
19:26Wee lad? I bet you like that, mate?
19:27I think I'll always be his wee lad
19:29A toast
19:30To my boys
19:31Merry Christmas
19:34Merry Christmas
19:35Merry Christmas
19:39Hey
19:40The polar express is on later
19:42I thought we could all hunker down and watch it together
19:46Don't confuse the boundaries, Kev
19:48We did this for the lads
19:50Confuse the boundaries?
19:52I'm not throwing my lips on you
19:53He's won, I've lost
19:54I'm over it
19:55Kev
19:56Look, he might be younger than me
19:57He might be better looking than me
19:58Don't, you know, I can't call with this
20:00I've got a text card
20:01Tell them we're going on
20:03Alfie!
20:05We need to go now, kiddo
20:06Can you hurry up?
20:07Mobile, answer call on speakerphone
20:08I've got a text card
20:09I've got a text card
20:10I've got a text card
20:11I've got a text card
20:12I've got a text card
20:18Could but I'll have a text forward
20:19schein åp REIN
20:34Mobile, answer call on speakerphone.
20:38Colin?
20:40Colin, are you there?
20:44They have a weird concept, isn't it?
20:47Secrets on tap.
20:48Well, it's a bit weird buying vouchers for spa weekends
20:51for people you hardly even know.
20:53It's a family tradition.
20:55Do you know what? I actually do need socks.
20:57I said that this morning, didn't I, Adam?
20:58She did.
20:59Your pillow talk is outrageous.
21:04And the next one is for...
21:07Drumroll, please.
21:08Oh.
21:12Ben.
21:13Wee-hey.
21:17Is it a jigsaw?
21:19Oh, come on, what is it?
21:20Wouldn't you like to know?
21:25To my baby.
21:27Give it to me.
21:27Let him read it.
21:28Ben, give it to me, please, give it to me.
21:30I said, let him read it.
21:32You bitch.
21:34Let my son read the lovely gift I got him.
21:38What is it?
21:39Oh, just evidence of an affair.
21:41What?
21:42Between Eva and Adam.
21:44Why are you so intent on killing our relationship?
22:08Maybe I don't want my son to be with a two-timing tart.
22:13Read it out to the group.
22:14Ma.
22:15It's a letter to the baby she aborted when she and Ben were going through a rough patch.
22:21Rough patch?
22:22He probably gave her a few dirty looks.
22:25He went back to his wife?
22:26And you end running back to the groin of his lordship here.
22:30I'm sorry.
22:32Adam, my rock.
22:34This is true.
22:35Your words, not mine.
22:36There was no affair.
22:37I don't think that Adam's been...
22:38Babe, I can explain.
22:39Well, go ahead then.
22:40And Adam continued to be her rock when she aborted their child.
22:45Oh, you're not a very nice person, are you?
22:47Do you know the worst of it?
22:48It's still going on.
22:49Oh, please.
22:50No, I'm not having it.
22:51It's not because it wasn't in the first place, babe, I promise.
22:54Well, it's got enough all to do with you.
22:56Is this why you two were holding hands earlier?
22:57What?
22:58No.
22:59Are you happy now?
23:00Not by a long shot.
23:02Because you have broken my son's heart.
23:04But whether or not Eva had an abortion is, frankly, none of your business.
23:08Is it not, frankly?
23:09Well, isn't it a woman's right to choose?
23:11What she chose was infidelity.
23:13What kind of a mother are you?
23:15Daniel.
23:15To do this to your own family and on Christmas Day?
23:18You can take that smirk off your face and all.
23:20Mate, I'm not smirking.
23:21Nothing happened.
23:22Who do you think you're giving your dirty looks to?
23:24You're completely misreading the situation.
23:26Aye.
23:26Well, misread this.
23:27Ben!
23:27Oh!
23:27Oh!
23:28Oh!
23:28Oh!
23:28Oh!
23:28Oh!
23:28Oh!
23:34Yeah, don't worry, Betsy.
23:36I'm fine.
23:37I'm having a really lovely holiday.
23:41Only Roy rang that hotel and you're not staying there.
23:45No, I, uh, I had to move in the end.
23:49I'm staying at a new place now.
23:51It's, um, it's called Rhubarb Hill Hotel.
23:56Rhubarb Hill Hotel?
23:57Yeah, yeah.
23:58I'm in the busing suite.
24:00Ha!
24:01Well, I hope you're having a good time, man.
24:04I'm missing you.
24:17James, get dressed and get up.
24:19Abby's on her way back.
24:20What?
24:21Just hurry up.
24:22Be quiet, I'm calling her.
24:26Hiya, love.
24:27Uh, where are ya?
24:28I'm just outside the main door.
24:30Wicked.
24:31Uh, listen, would you do me a favour?
24:32Would you just go to the car and get me charger out of the glove box, please?
24:36Now, I haven't got the keys.
24:38Oh, but I, I thought you always had them.
24:40Oh, God, you lazy.
24:42Oh, no, hang on.
24:43Tell her I've got them here.
24:44Yeah, do you mind?
24:46Yeah, of course I can.
24:46I'm running out of juice.
24:47Yeah, of course I can.
24:48Just give us a sec.
24:51Right, look, come on.
24:52We need to go and get Carl's charger.
24:54Yeah.
24:55It's wicked.
24:55One more move like that and I'm phoning the police.
25:10Why do you hate me so much?
25:12Sit down.
25:13This could take some time.
25:14Oi.
25:15Have you got anything to say for yourself?
25:17Oh, I've got plenty.
25:18And don't you oi me.
25:20Lies.
25:20All lies.
25:21I never had an affair with Adam.
25:23The letter says different.
25:24He supported me while...
25:26How can you trust a silly word she says?
25:27Well, I was aborting our baby.
25:32What?
25:36The baby was ours.
25:43What was with that stupid hotel name?
25:46Well, I don't know, do I?
25:48I didn't think on my feet.
25:49You had a knife pointing at me.
25:52I don't know why I said rhubarb or whatever.
25:54You're giving me a headache.
25:56Do you talk like this with Lise?
25:58No wonder she's gone off you.
26:00Biggest regret of my life, she said.
26:02Meeting Carla.
26:03The biggest regret of my life is following you here.
26:07You did not.
26:09Because I'd have known.
26:12Don't lie.
26:15Okay.
26:17All right.
26:18Costello told me the address.
26:21The rest you do know.
26:22What rest do I know?
26:24That I broke in here.
26:25That you caught me red-handed.
26:29You know, but if I were you,
26:31I wouldn't have left an incriminating burner phone
26:34just lying around linking me to a hit on Costello.
26:38You're so boring.
26:41Right.
26:43Well, I can't stand around here chewing the cud all day.
26:45People to see.
26:47Wives to bed.
26:48So she's not your wife, is she?
26:52Because you're officially dead.
26:54So that makes her your widow.
26:56Funny you mention dead.
26:59Because Lisa said that sleeping with you
27:03was like going to bed
27:06with a corpse.
27:08Happy Christmas, Ducky.
27:25Oh.
27:27Oh.
27:28Somewhere.
27:28Oh.
27:30Oh, now that is what I call
27:32a beautiful set of conflicts.
27:34Aren't you lucky?
27:36Oh, you.
27:36Yeah.
27:38It was a good service, Billy.
27:40It was.
27:40It was lovely.
27:41Was it all Christmasy?
27:42It was.
27:43It was.
27:43We had carols around the crib
27:45and mince pies afterwards.
27:47Oh, mince pies.
27:48You should have gone, George.
27:49Oh.
27:50Was there, um,
27:52mulled wine?
27:53It's a family service, love.
27:55Not happy hour at the legs of man.
27:57You all right over there, Theo?
27:59You looking a bit...
28:00Oh, oh, are we outstaying our welcome?
28:03Oh, no, no, no, no.
28:04Oh, wait, you can tell us.
28:06Well, no, you can tell me.
28:07I mean, I'm very hard to offend.
28:10Unless it's racism,
28:11I do take offence at that.
28:13No, no, honestly,
28:14of course not, you're fine.
28:15You're a worse actor than she is.
28:16Ha!
28:19I feel like that's bullying, that.
28:22I'm going to torture my union.
28:23National Union of Brace and Barmaids.
28:25Speaking of which,
28:28shall we adjourn to the Rovers?
28:31Oh, no, no, no,
28:31don't leave on my account.
28:33Although I think old Torrington's ready
28:35for a lie down, isn't you?
28:36Yeah, you are looking a bit quiet over there, mate.
28:38I think he's had one over the eight.
28:40I'm fine.
28:41That's what they all say.
28:42I'll tell you what, Billy, he'll miss you.
28:44Found out today he's got a thing for old priests.
28:46Have to get myself a dog collar.
28:48Show us what's under your castle.
28:49Ha!
28:51All right, well, um...
28:52Yeah, well,
28:53Nice to see you both,
28:55I'll be it briefly.
28:56Come here.
28:57Yeah, sorry about that.
29:00You get your bag and I'll get you covered.
29:02Come here.
29:04Oh, my goodness.
29:05Thanks ever so much.
29:09Bye, love.
29:09Bye, Summer.
29:11Yeah, get that down.
29:12All right.
29:14Bye.
29:14You know full well
29:16when we were going through a rough patch
29:17and you know full well why we were.
29:19Don't put that on me.
29:20So this abortion's on me, is it?
29:21The only thing that I regret about that termination
29:24is not telling you.
29:26But, babe, how could I?
29:27How could I bring a baby into that?
29:29You weren't even taking my calls.
29:30You were living back with the dragon.
29:32Don't call her that.
29:33And whenever we did talk to each other,
29:34we were just taking shots.
29:36And yet you still got pregnant by me.
29:39Allegedly.
29:41Don't you dare.
29:43Sorry.
29:43I was in no fit state
29:46to bring a baby and Susie up on my own.
29:49Now, if I'd have thought for one second
29:51that we were going to get back together,
29:52I would have told you.
29:55So where does Adam fit into all of this?
29:56He doesn't.
29:57Not really,
29:58except the fact that he was a supportive friend.
30:01He was meeting a client in Hull.
30:02I bumped into him at the Paragon Interchange.
30:04He was getting the train.
30:05I was getting the bus.
30:06Kismet.
30:07Just to let you know,
30:11your pub is open.
30:13Oh.
30:13Oh, it's my pub when it suits you.
30:16Well, sure it wouldn't hurt you
30:17to put a shift in, Maggie.
30:18Get your hands as dirty as your tongue.
30:20Are you going to let her speak to me like that?
30:26Very exciting to be summoned here.
30:29Like this.
30:29It's very nice.
30:30Quite palatial.
30:33Mind you,
30:33you must be earning a bob or two now,
30:35aren't you?
30:35So you've actually spoken to Carla?
30:39Not me.
30:40Betts.
30:41Oh.
30:42So,
30:43how is she?
30:45What does she say?
30:46Erm,
30:47she said she was at a hotel.
30:48Can't believe Betts actually spoke to her.
30:50It's reassuring, though.
30:52Is it?
30:53I want to be.
30:54Well,
30:55doesn't it just confirm
30:56what you've been worrying about all along,
30:59that she's ignoring you
31:00blatantly?
31:02See?
31:02I'll make a very good barrister,
31:05I will,
31:06because I've got a very incisive mind
31:07and also I'll look great
31:09in the wig
31:10and the...
31:11Oh, I see.
31:13My glass appears to be
31:14almost entirely empty.
31:16It's a box.
31:18Hmm.
31:18It's warm, though, isn't it, in here?
31:19It's probably evaporating.
31:21Hi, Bonnie,
31:24I'm home.
31:26Oh.
31:26We have company.
31:28Merry Christmas,
31:29stranger.
31:30Is that the sister?
31:32Hello.
31:33This is Roy's friend,
31:35Evelyn.
31:35Hi, I'm Kim.
31:37I, er,
31:37I spoke to Carla.
31:39Brilliant,
31:40finally.
31:41Er,
31:41how was she?
31:42It's hard to tell,
31:43really.
31:44Erm,
31:45what are you doing?
31:47I'm ringing her.
31:48Oh, please.
31:50What?
31:51Like,
31:52she's going to answer.
31:55Don't you think
31:55you should just face facts, love?
31:58And what's that?
31:59You know,
32:00maybe.
32:02Maybe?
32:03Maybe
32:04she's just not cut out
32:06to be a lesbian.
32:08No,
32:09a lot of people aren't.
32:10No,
32:11I wasn't.
32:15Sorry to send you
32:16on a wild goose chase.
32:17I honestly thought
32:18my charge was in the car.
32:20Forget my own head
32:20if it wasn't screwed on.
32:21So,
32:22what have you been up to
32:22then while me and Kev
32:23have been pretending
32:24to play up with families?
32:25Oh,
32:26just
32:26watching paint dry.
32:28Hmm,
32:29well,
32:29sounds like me and you
32:30have had very similar days.
32:33Shall we,
32:33erm,
32:35shall we make up
32:36for it now?
32:37What exactly
32:38were you thinking of?
32:39Well,
32:40come to the bedroom
32:41and I'll show you.
32:44Dad!
32:46Dad!
32:47What's that aftershave
32:50you're wearing?
32:50It smells different.
32:51Must be that
32:52old shower gel
32:53I used earlier.
32:54What's this?
32:57It's nice,
32:58isn't it?
32:58I found it down
32:59the side of the couch.
33:01Must be the
33:01previous tenants.
33:05Now,
33:05where were we?
33:07En route to the bedroom.
33:09On a one-way ticket
33:10it's a paradise.
33:19I often wonder
33:20if you're a statue
33:20because you've got
33:22one hell of a brass neck
33:23on you.
33:24That secret Santa stunt
33:25was evil.
33:27I am a grandchild
33:28down because of you.
33:30Are you not going
33:31to defend me here, Ben?
33:32Why should I?
33:33She's right,
33:34it was evil.
33:35I'm not bothered.
33:37Huh.
33:37Put that drink
33:39down, ma.
33:41And get her
33:42out of my house
33:42now.
33:43I beg your pardon.
33:44I want you gone.
33:45Are you going
33:46to side with
33:47that little tart
33:48over me?
33:51Right first time.
33:52His poor
34:08beautiful face.
34:10What do you
34:11hit him?
34:12It wasn't me.
34:13When a man
34:14gets hit like that,
34:15usually over a woman.
34:17No.
34:17Maybe someone's
34:18got the hots for Elliot.
34:19Who doesn't have
34:20the hots for Elliot?
34:21Did I just say
34:24that out loud?
34:25Yes, George.
34:27Keep it down.
34:28People might think
34:28we're swingers.
34:29Oh, like these two.
34:31Be of yourself
34:31Mary's if we're swingers.
34:33I'll know
34:33what you're doing
34:33later.
34:37Gonna have a nice
34:37shiner, thanks to you.
34:38You had no right.
34:39Oh, shut up.
34:41No, he's right.
34:43Adam, I'm sorry.
34:46I shouldn't have
34:47reacted the way I did.
34:47I've just spoken
34:48with the weaver.
34:48She's explained
34:49everything.
34:49Um, accept
34:52my apology.
34:55Well, this won't
34:56be a Christmas
34:56that we forget
34:57any time, see?
34:58You've got a lot
35:00to save yourself.
35:01Hey.
35:02Sorry.
35:04And I'll hear,
35:05you've got to believe
35:06Adam, none of it's
35:06true.
35:07Oh, I never
35:07believed a word.
35:08But you want to
35:09have a word with
35:10your mother.
35:10Has she calmed
35:11down?
35:13She's packing
35:13her bags.
35:14Vaster to leave.
35:15What?
35:17Any sign of
35:17Megan, she's
35:19gone home.
35:20She don't feel
35:21well.
35:21She wanted me
35:22to tell you
35:23but, whoops,
35:24I forgot.
35:24All right.
35:28Listen, I know
35:30that you've got
35:30the hots for your
35:31teacher, you little
35:32git, but how
35:33about you leave
35:34her for the
35:34grown-ups, eh?
35:34There's a good
35:35life.
35:35Right.
35:36Thanks very much
35:37for a memorable
35:39day.
35:40Shall we go next
35:41door?
35:41Hey, I always
35:46wondered why
35:47you were so
35:47weird, but now
35:49that I've seen
35:49what your
35:49granny's capable
35:50of, it's all
35:51slipping into
35:52place.
36:05David!
36:07David!
36:07David!
36:11Where have
36:12you been?
36:13Er, Manners,
36:14Will.
36:15Been helping
36:15Lauren with
36:16Frankie so she
36:16could work.
36:18Daniel's already
36:18gone, he said
36:19to say to
36:20Aaron that.
36:20Er, you need
36:22to be careful.
36:23Do I?
36:24Yes, Will, you
36:25do.
36:26You were so
36:27vile to Daniel
36:28today.
36:28Classic.
36:29I defend him,
36:30why don't you?
36:31You're gonna give
36:32the game away at
36:32this rate.
36:33And the state
36:34of him.
36:35You know, he had
36:35his hands all
36:36over my woman.
36:36You're drunk.
36:40What's she
36:40gonna be like
36:40on your little
36:41weekend away?
36:44Oh, do you
36:44know what?
36:45I can't be
36:46doing with you
36:47when you're
36:47like this.
36:54Weird.
36:56I'm sorry,
36:56what is that?
36:57It's a stimulator.
36:58Your own
36:59mother has got
36:59you a...
36:59It's a
37:00vagus nerve
37:01stimulator.
37:02David, not in
37:03front of Lily.
37:03No, no, it's
37:04totally asleep.
37:05No, that's
37:06what it is.
37:07It's an actual
37:07sleep aid.
37:08What?
37:09Granny Gail's
37:09texted.
37:10She said she's
