00:27It was Christmas Eve, and the drunk tank, and all that satin, won't see another one, and then I sang a song, the rare old mountain tune, I turned my face away.
00:57And dreamed about you, got on a lucky one, came in and looked into one, I've got a thing, plus years remaining, so happy Christmas, I love you baby.
01:27I can see a better time, when all our dreams go true for Christmas.
01:35They got cars big as bars, they got rivers of gold, but the windows right through you, it's no place for the old.
01:54When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve, you promised me Broadway was waiting for me.
02:00You were handsome, you were pretty queen, I knew you were studying when the band first played.
02:04You know she's invited Adam and Alia, don't you?
02:08Oh, don't. I mean, she could have invited one of your exes, balance it out a bit.
02:13Who's she? The cat's mother?
02:16Do you like what I got Eva?
02:17It reminds me of that quote from the Bible, pearls before swine.
02:22Ma.
02:22What? Why is everyone so serious? Come on, it's Christmas.
02:29Our first guest has arrived.
02:30Merry Christmas.
02:32A secret Santa contribution.
02:34I hope I'm not too early.
02:36Oh, of course not. Nan's been on the eggnog since breakfast.
02:38The mouth on that.
02:40Let me get you one, Megan.
02:42Wait till you taste it, you'll die.
02:44Well, let her get to you.
02:49Rise above it.
02:50Oh, I'm rising. Practically transcendental.
02:59Closed?
03:01Closed on Christmas Day?
03:03I mean, it's like the ravens have left the tower.
03:08They will be opening later, I believe.
03:10Family meal?
03:12I mean, lucky for some, eh?
03:13In case of I'm all right, Jack, you've never heard one.
03:18Happy birthday, David.
03:20Yeah, ta.
03:22Oh, yes, happy, eh, you know.
03:26Merry Christmas.
03:28You're a little late for last-minute shopping, aren't you?
03:30Oh, no, I wish. No, wouldn't late for work.
03:33See?
03:34Yes, fascinating.
03:37Not surprised he doesn't want to be at home at the moment.
03:41Why?
03:41Oh!
03:42What's been happening at Lesbian Ranch?
03:52My donation for our secret Santa.
03:55Oh, yeah, the table looks dead nice, Eva.
03:58I hope you'll be handing out sunglasses.
04:01Now, Ollie, as wonderful as it is to see you bonding with little Frankie here,
04:05don't you think you should go check on the food?
04:07Of course.
04:10Everything's under control, Nan.
04:12Oh, God.
04:13He's making my favourite.
04:15A bird within a bird within a bird.
04:21You seen something you don't like, Maggie?
04:24Plenty.
04:30Ta-da!
04:30Oh, I hate leaving you on your own.
04:35I'm going to sit and mope and watch everything I've circled in the TV guide.
04:40Well, at least you know I'll come back sober.
04:43Yeah, Kev's enough to make anyone leave that.
04:46Right.
04:47Come on, then, me and you.
04:48Let's get off.
04:50I see Jack and open some presents.
04:52See you later.
04:52I want some presents?
04:54It just feels weird being here, especially when I'm leaving Leanne to fend for herself at speed, darling.
05:08Well, they invited us, and all these may be a great cook, so come on, open it.
05:16It's symbolic.
05:17Of what?
05:18The key to your heart?
05:19Listen, I love you, and I think we should move in together.
05:25In fact, we can pick up the keys for Kit's old flat at Red Bank whenever you want.
05:30Are you serious?
05:30Yeah, I'm serious.
05:32Ali and Azir, will you make me the happiest man on earth?
05:35I'll move in with them.
05:37I'd love to.
05:41Kurt, what did you think you were doing?
05:42Come on, babe, it's Christmas. One or two won't hurt.
05:45As long as it's only one or two.
05:47It's bird within a bird within a bird. Sounds very Henry VIII.
05:55Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded.
05:58Survived.
05:59I always find that last one very disappointing.
06:03Hey.
06:04Hey.
06:04Merry Christmas.
06:05Merry Christmas, Daniel. Hello, young man.
06:07Just 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.
06:15Oh, you're gorgeous.
06:18You must stay for dinner.
06:20We'll set two more places.
06:22We have more company.
06:24Well, I'm sure Daniel's got all the places to be.
06:26Hey, us barlows would do anything to avoid Tracy's crusty old nut roast.
06:30Perfect.
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?
06:42A weekend away at the Dovedale Spa for two.
06:54Oh, wow.
06:55That's supposed to be amazing.
06:59Will!
07:00Sorry about him.
07:13He's missing his girlfriend.
07:15Chloe and Hull.
07:17Bless him.
07:18So, Audrey's gone to Gales for Christmas, has she?
07:24Did she fly?
07:26Yeah, bless her.
07:27Oh, I so miss air travel.
07:30You know, the glamour of the trolley dollies, in-flight entertainments, and on one particularly memorable jaunt across the Grand Canyon, the giddy thrills of the Mile High Club.
07:39Uh, I hope you two don't want feeding.
07:42David!
07:43Yeah, worry not.
07:44We're not peripatetic noshers.
07:46We just dropped 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.
07:58Do I look bothered?
07:59Yes, David, actually.
08:00You look incredibly bothered.
08:01Oh, the curse of the light-fingered postman strikes again.
08:04Abidemi is not light-fingered.
08:06Abidemi's quite fit, actually.
08:08Oh, broad.
08:10You know, Mother swore blind that she sent me Ben Shepard novelty coasters last Micklemas.
08:16Did they arrive?
08:17Did they poncho?
08:18Gail sent a picture that the delivery driver took.
08:21Whose 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.
08:29Well, it's classic Gail, 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?
08:36I don't want a stupid present, anyway.
08:41Oh.
08:43Now that is one hell of a moist breast.
08:48Plumptious, that's what it is.
08:50Oh, we taste buds think it's Christmas.
08:52Oh, hang on a minute.
08:53It is.
08:53It is Christmas.
08:54And compliments to the chef.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Thank you, Todd.
08:58Cheers.
08:58Cheers.
08:59Cheers.
09:00Well, I'm the sous chef.
09:01Mm.
09:02Mm.
09:03Did you get my email?
09:04Oh, I'm so sorry.
09:07That's so rude of me.
09:08Um, yes, thank you very much.
09:10Oh.
09:11What email?
09:12Oh.
09:12Summer's got him the most amazing gift.
09:15She was telling us before.
09:16Lovely.
09:16Oh, I.
09:17I'm jealous.
09:18I am.
09:18I am spitting feathers.
09:20Right, so you know he really fancies Andrew Scott.
09:23So I have got him tickets to an Andrew Scott retrospective at a film festival, including a Q&A with the man himself.
09:30Oh.
09:30Was Andrew Scott in Etty Wainthrop?
09:32Oh, lucky Etty.
09:35I don't think so.
09:36Didn't know you were such a fan of his canon of work.
09:40I don't think it was that canon he was interested in.
09:45Ah, what did the kids get you for you?
09:46Was it socks and smellies?
09:47Oh, kids, honestly.
09:50They can be so unimaginative, can't they?
09:52Do you know what Daisy got me one Christmas?
09:54What?
09:55A pencil sharpener.
09:59Ah, well, no, they've not got me now yet, but I'm sure that'll be rectified soon, yeah.
10:03I, um, I've got to try the form.
10:05Didn't I, love?
10:06Yeah.
10:07It's gorgeous.
10:09Oh, isn't it amazing we can get in the 50-piece shop these days?
10:12Andrew Scott, though, eh?
10:14I don't think who he is.
10:16He thinks you fancy Terry Scott.
10:17He's that hot priest in that thing where she went round being posh talking to him.
10:21Oh, yes.
10:22No, I know, I know.
10:23Yeah, yeah.
10:24Speaking of vicars, Billy's taking his time, isn't he?
10:28It's his busiest day of the year, isn't it?
10:29No.
10:30Ah, all these hot priests everywhere, eh?
10:33Ha, ha, ha.
10:34What a lucky boy you are, Todd, eh?
10:35Mm.
10:36Mm.
10:36Mm.
10:36Mm.
10:37Oh, this is lovely.
10:38Mm.
10:38Mm.
10:39Mm.
10:39Mm.
10:39Mm.
10:40Mm.
10:40Mm.
10:40Mm.
10:40Mm.
10:41Mm.
10:41Mm.
10:42Mm.
10:42Mm.
10:43Mm.
10:44Mm.
10:44Mm.
10:45Mm.
10:45Mm.
10:46Mm.
10:46Mm.
10:47Mm.
10:48Mm.
10:48Um, I've got a text from Roy.
10:50He says you rang the hotel that Carla 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.
11:09What 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 I've lived in, Carla.
11:19Sorry.
11:20Mm-hmm.
11:23Sorry.
11:35Hey.
11:36I just wanted to check you were cool with me and Ali have been here.
11:38Maggie kind of press-ganged us.
11:40Yeah, she's good at that.
11:41It's fine, darling.
11:43You OK?
11:44My letter.
11:46Which letter?
11:47The letter.
11:49I think someone's taken it out of my bag.
12:07Look, let me have a look in your bag.
12:09Maybe a fresh bit of ice.
12:10I've done nothing but check it.
12:11Fill your boots.
12:11I 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.
12:19No news is good news.
12:21I feel sick.
12:22It's not there, is it?
12:23No.
12:24Oh, do you know what?
12:24Maggie's been so off with me.
12:26But then she's like that every day, isn't she?
12:27I'm sure if she'd found it, you'd know by now.
12:29Yeah, that's true.
12:30Look, calm down.
12:32Deep breaths.
12:34All right, Ben.
12:35Everything all right in here?
12:36Yeah, fine.
12:38I bet so, Ben.
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?
12:49He's unhooking your bra.
12:50He was just giving me a pep talk.
12:51With his fingers.
12:53Babe, I was just getting wound up about Maggie.
12:55He 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 mat.
13:02Which bit?
13:02Huh, Oliver.
13:05Come on, babe, strengthen them, first.
13:26All right?
13:30Sorry to hear about your mum.
13:32It's what it is.
13:35Happens to us all eventually, I guess.
13:42You must miss her.
13:44I'm being daft, really, but...
13:46Yeah.
13:47Nothing daft about it.
13:50People are still around.
13:51You want to make the most of them.
13:54It's what we need, isn't it?
13:56What?
13:59Human contact.
14:02We haven't stolen Gail's presents.
14:06Yeah, but that looks like your doorstep, doesn't it?
14:10That's nothing like our doorstep, you plum.
14:13Well, 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 came round for Christmas drinks.
14:25Ooh, since when were you, Pally, with Brian and Mary?
14:29I'm not.
14:29You've never invited us round for Christmas drinks.
14:31Look, 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.
14:39Well, you don't mind.
14:40I'm not bothered, anyway.
14:41I didn't want to tell your face that.
14:43Do you know what, Tim?
14:44Forget it.
14:44Mm.
14:50Nice, ta.
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 for my lady wife.
15:05No, I'm not.
15:07I'm not doing it.
15:08You know, when she realises I'm missing,
15:13she'll come looking for me.
15:14Oh, right.
15:16Do you really think so?
15:19You see, that's not the impression I got last night when she was...
15:23Oh, no, I don't want to rub it in.
15:26You can probably smell her perfume on me.
15:32If I found the evidence that you're corrupt,
15:35it's only a matter of time before there's due to.
15:37Oi, Miss World, shut your face.
15:45Just need to reply to my lease.
16:00Oh, she wants me.
16:03Maybe I'm just better than you.
16:05Oh, did I mention that we slept together last night?
16:09Again.
16:10My bad.
16:11Naughty Becky.
16:15That's what she said, actually.
16:16He's acting like you're used to a serious.
16:28Oh, come on.
16:29It's not like I got him a present.
16:31Oh, me.
16:33Oh, really?
16:38Well, I feel a bit daft now.
16:41Put up in it, then.
16:42New earbuds.
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, oh.
17:06Sound of music.
17:07Yes, yes, yes.
17:08My girl, my girl.
17:11Oh, I love about a film.
17:14I played Maria on the ship.
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, put that off like kiddies.
17:28The wrong side of third.
17:30I don't know.
17:30Still, the audience went nuts for it.
17:32I've got loads of these fascinating anecdotes.
17:34I'll blend it.
17:35No, if you ever suffer from insomnia,
17:36phone her up and ask her about a 12-minute
17:37chitty-chitty banquet.
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.
17:45Oh, yes, please, love.
17:47Okay, first word, first word.
17:50You okay?
17:51They're not answering.
17:52Who?
17:54I'm trying to have video call the kids.
17:56No.
17:57What are you doing?
18:02Always a little more tips than anything, sir.
18:05I'll, um...
18:06Get a boy.
18:09No words.
18:10Exactly.
18:11This is so much better than Tracy's not.
18:14What is it exactly?
18:16Mm-hmm.
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 not roast is definitely not crusty.
18:30My 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.
18:44How are the kids?
18:45Well?
18:45Yeah, fine.
18:47You're not tempted to stay with them?
18:48My boys deserve only the best.
18:53In life, in work, and especially in love.
18:57Uh, is it time for secret Sunday 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.
19:23That wee lad's going nowhere.
19:25Wee lad?
19:26I bet you like that, mate.
19:27I think I'll always be as wee lad.
19:29A toast to my boys.
19:32Merry Christmas.
19:34Merry Christmas.
19:38Hey, the Poland 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.
19:54I've lost.
19:54I'm over it.
19:55Kev.
19:55Look, 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 what's going on.
20:03Alfie?
20:04We need to go now, kiddo.
20:06Can you hurry up?
20:07Come on.
20:25Mobile, answer call on speakerphone.
20:38Colin?
20:38Colin?
20:41Colin, are you there?
20:41You have a weird concept, isn't it?
20:46Secret Santa.
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, Adam?
20:58She did.
20:59Your pillow talk is outrageous.
21:04And the next one is for...
21:07Drum roll, please.
21:08Oh.
21:12Ben.
21:12Is 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?
21:41Between Eva and Adam.
22:05Why 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.
22:54And 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.
23:04Whether 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?
23:17You 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!
23:35Yeah, don't worry, Betsy.
23:36I'm fine.
23:37I'm having a really lovely holiday.
23:41Only Roy rang the hotel and you're not staying there.
23:45No, I...
23:46I had to move in the end.
23:49I'm staying at a new place now.
23:51It's, um...
23:52It's called...
23:53Rhubarb Hill Hotel.
23:56Rhubarb Hill Hotel?
23:57Yeah, yeah.
23:58I'm in the busing suite.
24:00Heh.
24:01Well, I hope you're having a good time.
24:03I'm...
24:04Missing you.
24:05Yeah.
24:05James, get dressed and get up.
24:19Abby's on her way back.
24:20What?
24:21Just hurry up.
24:22Be quiet.
24:22I'm calling her.
24:23Hiya, love.
24:27Uh, where are you?
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 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.
24:49Right, look, come on.
24:52We need to go and get Carl's charger.
24:55It's tricky.
25:07One 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 certain word she says?
25:27Well, I was supporting 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 had to 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, are you?
26:06You did not.
26:08You 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.
26:26You know, but if I were you, I wouldn't have left an incriminating burner phone just lying around linking me to a hit on Costello.
26:37Oh, you're so boring.
26:41Right.
26:43Well, I can't stand around here chewing the cud all day.
26:45People to see, wives to bed.
26:49So 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.
26:57Because Lisa said that sleeping with you was like going to bed with a corpse.
27:14Happy Christmas, Ducky.
27:25Oh.
27:26Oh.
27:27Oh.
27:28Somewhere.
27:28Oh.
27:30Oh, now that is what I call a beautiful set of conflinks, aren't they?
27:34Aren't you lucky?
27:36You.
27:36Yeah.
27:38It was a good service, Billy.
27:40It was.
27:40It was lovely.
27:41Was it all Christmas?
27:42It was.
27:43It was.
27:43We had carols around the crib and mince pies afterwards.
27:47Oh, mince pies.
27:48You should have gone, George.
27:49Oh.
27:50Was there, um, mulled wine?
27:53It's a family service, love.
27:55Not happy hour at the legs of man.
27:56You all right over there, Theo?
27:59You're looking a bit...
28:00Oh, sorry.
28:01Oh.
28:01Oh.
28:02Are we out staying our welcome?
28:03Oh, no, no, no, no.
28:04Oh, 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.
28:11I do take offence at that.
28:13No, no, honestly, of course not.
28:14You're fine.
28:15You're a worse actor than she is.
28:17I feel like that's bullying, that.
28:22I'm going to touch on my union.
28:23National union of brazen bar mates.
28:27Speaking of which, shall we, um, shall we adjourn to the Rovers?
28:31Yes.
28:31Oh, no, no, no.
28:31Don't leave on my account.
28:33Although I think old Torrington's ready for 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.
28:46I have to get myself a dog collar.
28:48Show us what's under your castle.
28:51All right, well, um...
28:52Yeah, well, um...
28:54Nice to see you both.
28:55I'll be here briefly.
28:56Come here.
28:57Yeah, sorry about that.
29:00You get your bag and I'll get you a coat.
29:02Come here.
29:04Very good.
29:05And thanks heavy so much.
29:09Bye, love.
29:09Bye, Summer.
29:11Yeah, get that.
29:12All right.
29:14Bye.
29:15You know full well when 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 is 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, we 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 to bring a baby and Susie up on my own.
29:49Now, if I'd have thought for one second that we were going to get back together, I 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.
30:00He 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, your pub is open.
30:13Oh.
30:13Oh, it's my pub when it suits you.
30:16Well, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to 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 like this.
30:29It's very nice.
30:30Quite palatial.
30:33Mind you, you must be earning a bob or two now, aren't you?
30:35Yeah.
30:36So you've actually spoken to Carla?
30:39Not me, Betts.
30:41Oh.
30:42So, er, how is she?
30:45What does she say?
30:46Erm, she 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, doesn't it just confirm what you've been worrying about all along, that she's ignoring
31:00you blatantly?
31:02See.
31:03I'll make a very good barrister, I will, because I've got a very incisive mind, and also I'll
31:08look great in the wig and the...
31:11Oh, I see.
31:13My glass appears to be almost entirely empty.
31:16It's a box.
31:18It's warm, though, isn't it, in here?
31:19It's probably evaporated.
31:23Hi, Bonnie, I'm home.
31:26Oh.
31:26We have company.
31:28Merry Christmas, stranger.
31:30Is that the sister?
31:32Hello.
31:33This is Roy's friend, Evelyn.
31:35Hi, I'm Kim.
31:37Hiya, I spoke to Carla.
31:39Brilliant, finally.
31:41Er, how was she?
31:42It's hard to tell, really.
31:44Erm, what are you doing?
31:47I'm ringing her.
31:48Oh, please.
31:50What?
31:51Like, she's going to answer?
31:55Don't you think you should just face facts, love?
31:58And what's that?
31:59You know, maybe.
32:02Maybe?
32:03Maybe?
32:03Maybe.
32:05She's just not cut out to be a lesbian.
32:08No, a lot of people aren't.
32:11No, I wasn't.
32:15Sorry to send you on a wild goose chase.
32:17I honestly thought my charger was in the car.
32:20Forget me only if it wasn't screwed on.
32:21So, what have you been up to then
32:23while me and Kev have been pretending to play up with families?
32:25Oh, just watching paint dry.
32:28Well, sounds like me and you have had very similar days.
32:32Shall we, erm...
32:34Shall we make up for it now?
32:37What exactly were you thinking of?
32:39Well, come to the bedroom and I'll show you.
32:49What's that aftershave you're wearing?
32:50It smells different.
32:51Must be that old shower gel I used earlier.
32:54What's this?
32:57It's nice, isn't it?
32:58Erm, I found it down the side of the couch.
33:01Must be the previous tenants.
33:03Now, where were we?
33:07En route to the bedroom.
33:09On a one-way ticket to paradise.
33:11I often wonder if you're a statue.
33:21Because you've got one hell of a brass neck on you.
33:24That secret Santa stunt was evil.
33:27I am a grandchild down because of you.
33:30Are you not going to defend me here, Ben?
33:32Why should I?
33:32She's right, it was evil.
33:35I'm not bothered.
33:37Huh.
33:38Put that drink down, ma.
33:41And get her to my house now.
33:43I beg your pardon.
33:44I want you gone.
33:45Are you going to side with that little tart over me?
33:51Right first time.
33:52His poor, beautiful face.
34:10What did you hit him?
34:12It wasn't me.
34:13When a man gets hit like that, usually over a woman.
34:17No.
34:17Maybe someone's got the hots for Elliot.
34:20Who doesn't have the hots for Elliot?
34:22Did I just say that out loud?
34:25Yes, George.
34:27Keep it down.
34:28People might think we're swingers.
34:29Oh, like these two.
34:31Be it myself, Mary's, if we're swingers.
34:33I'll know what you're doing later.
34:37I'm going to have a nice shiner, 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 reacted the way I did.
34:47I've just spoken with the weaver.
34:48She's explained everything.
34:49Um, accept my apology.
34:55Well, this won't be a Christmas that we forget any time, see?
34:58You've got a lot to save yourself.
35:01Hey.
35:02Sorry.
35:04And I'll hear you've got to believe, Adam, none of it's true.
35:07Oh, I never believed a word.
35:08But you want to have a word with your mother.
35:10Has she calmed down?
35:11She's packing her bags.
35:14Vastard to leave.
35:15What?
35:17Any sign of Megan?
35:18She's gone home.
35:20She don't feel well.
35:22She wanted me to tell you, but whoops.
35:24I forgot.
35:25All right.
35:28Listen.
35:30I know that you've got the hots for your teacher, you little git.
35:33But how about you leave her for the grown-ups, eh?
35:34There's a good life.
35:35Right.
35:36Thanks very much for a memorable day.
35:40Shall we go next door?
35:45Hey.
35:46I always wondered why you were so weird.
35:48But now that I've seen what your granny's capable of,
35:51it's all slipping into place.
35:52David!
36:07David!
36:11Where have you been?
36:13Er, Manor's, Will.
36:15Been helping Lauren with Frankie so she could work.
36:18Daniel's already gone, he said to say to her and that.
36:20Er, you need to be careful.
36:23Do I?
36:24Yes, Will, you do.
36:26You were so vile to Daniel today.
36:28Classic.
36:29I defend him, why don't you?
36:31You're gonna give the game away at this rate.
36:33And the state of him.
36:35You know, he had his hands all over my woman.
36:38You're drunk.
36:40What's he gonna be like on your little weekend away?
36:44Oh, do you know what?
36:46I can't be doing with you when you're like this.
36:47I can't be doing with you when you're like this.
36:53Ha! Weird.
36:56I'm sorry, what is that?
36:57It's a stimulator.
36:58Your own mother has got you a...
36:59It's a vagus nerve stimulator.
37:02David, not in front of Lily.
37:03No, no, it's totally sleep.
37:05Shanna!
37:05No, that's what it is.
37:07It's an actual sleep aid.
37:08What?
37:09Granny Gail's texted.
37:10She said she sent us all a video.
37:11Oh, get it up, get it up on sablet, go on.
37:13Should we know where for Andy, Sarah and Uncle?
37:14Well, she's put it on plot chart, hasn't it?
37:16She can see it on there.
37:17Aw, I can't believe she sent a video.
37:19It's me.
37:22I speak to you today on what is, of course,
37:27our first wedding anniversary.
37:29One of the longest marriages, this.
37:31Shh.
37:31Thank you, David, for my extra-large jar of olives.
37:38Very funny.
37:40I hope you've all been having the most wonderful day.
37:44And, of course, David, happy birthday.
37:51How can it be 35 years since I first held you in my arms?
37:56I hope by now you've unwrapped your sleep aid.
38:03I just wanted to say that, though I may be far away,
38:11you're all very much in my thoughts.
38:15And David and Shona, you and your baby are utmost in my heart.
38:23Life is never easy.
38:29Life is never straightforward.
38:33But we're a strong, resilient family.
38:38And we can weather any storm.
38:42I love you all very much.
38:45So, till the next time we speak,
38:51as the famous carol says,
38:54the hopes and fears of all the years
39:03are met in thee tonight.
39:07I wish you all a very happy Christmas.
39:17Happy Christmas.
39:19Aw, that was nice.
39:21Yeah, it was a lovely happy Christmas.
39:23I just want to say thank you.
39:29What for?
39:33How are you for?
39:35And just being so nice and patient today.
39:41It's our first Christmas, innit?
39:43Wanting to be special.
39:47In that case, thank you, too.
39:49For what?
39:51For being you.
39:52You're authentic self.
39:57Can't be easy.
39:59You know, with your various issues.
40:03I'm...
40:04Unless you were being sarcastic.
40:06I wasn't.
40:10Stand up.
40:13You sure you weren't being sarcastic?
40:15Yeah.
40:15Yeah.
40:22You sure?
40:28Merry Christmas, daughter.
40:29Isn't that, um, Ujimaflip?
40:59Maggie, yes.
40:59From the pub?
41:00Correct, yes.
41:01Well, introduce me.
41:02I've never met her.
41:03And, you know, if we pal up, I'm thinking free drinks.
41:06Oh.
41:06Hello.
41:07Hello.
41:09Oh, I say, what a beautiful coat.
41:11I love that colour.
41:13Merry Christmas, Maggie.
41:14I don't know if you met my dear friend, Evelyn Plummer.
41:19Merry Christmas to you.
41:21And may 2026 bring you everything you wish yourself and more.
41:26Are you off travelling?
41:29Are you all right, Maggie?
41:31No.
41:31Any idiot can see she's not all right.
41:33She's in pieces.
41:34Oh.
41:35Let's just say, I've fallen out with Ben.
41:39Oh, dear.
41:40Who's Ben?
41:42My son.
41:43Well, maybe it's just bad karma, you know, because you shut the pub on Christmas Day.
41:49We were having a family meal, but everything went awry.
41:56Well, if there's anything I could do.
41:59Do you know any decent hotels around here?
42:02Well, I could drive you over to Chariot Square, if you like.
42:08Good thinking, Batman.
42:10And could you call ahead when we're en route?
42:14My phone is running out of juice.
42:16Just tell them, one night, one person with breakfast, and try and get a free upgrade to a suite.
42:23Oh, I'm rather sorry we came over in the chest plate.
42:35And relax.
42:36My lady.
42:44Quite good, sir.
42:49I'm sorry.
42:51Isn't that my line?
42:53I should have been there for you.
42:55We got there eventually, didn't we?
42:59I'll never let you down again.
43:06I'll never let you down again.
43:36I'll never let you down again.
44:06I'll never let you down again.
44:07I'll never let you down again.
44:08I'll never let you down again.
44:09I'll never let you down again.
44:10I'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.
44:16I'll never let you down again.
44:17I'll never let you down again.
44:18I'll never let you down again.
44:19I'll never let you down again.
