08:29well it's classic Gail isn't it?
08:30she's got a postcode to house that she lived at for four million years

09:32oh a lucky Hettie
09:35I don't think so

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