00:00It was Christmas Eve
00:25In the drunk tank
00:29I don't know
00:31I know man's setting
00:34Won't say another one
00:38On that only sang a song
00:43The rare old mountain tune
00:47I turned with my sway
00:51And dreamed about you
00:55Got on a lucky one
01:00Came in like 10 to 1
01:04I've got a feeling
01:07There's years for me
01:11So happy Christmas
01:17I love you baby
01:21I can see a better time
01:25Everyone needs to put a song
01:27Well, I love you
01:28It's going to be Christmas
01:30They got cars big as bars
01:44They got riveters of gold
01:46But the wind goes right through you
01:47It's no place for the old
01:49When you first took my hand
01:50On a cold Christmas Eve
01:52You promised me Broadway
01:53Was waiting for me
01:55You were handsome
01:56You were pretty queen
01:57I knew you were sitting
01:58When the band finished playing
01:59You know she's invited Adam and Alia, don't you?
02:03Oh, don't.
02:04I mean, she could have invited one of your axes
02:06Balance it out a bit.
02:08Who's she?
02:09The cat's mother?
02:11Do you like what I got Eva?
02:12It reminds me of that quote from the Bible
02:15Pearls before swine.
02:17Ma?
02:17What?
02:19Why is everyone so serious?
02:22Come on, it's Christmas
02:23Our first guest has arrived
02:25Merry Christmas
02:26Hi, my secret Santa contribution
02:29I hope I'm not too early
02:30Oh, of course not
02:31Nan's been on the eggnog since breakfast
02:33The mouth on that
02:35Let me get you one, Megan
02:37Wait till you taste it
02:38You'll die
02:39Mwah
02:41Don't let her get to you
02:43Rise above it
02:45Oh, I'm rising
02:46Practically transcendental
02:48Closed?
02:56Closed on Christmas Day?
02:57I mean, it's like the Ravens have left the tower
03:02They will be opening later, I believe
03:05Family meal?
03:07I mean, lucky for some, eh?
03:08It's a case of I'm all right, Jack
03:10If ever I've heard one
03:11Happy birthday, David
03:15Yeah, ta
03:16Oh, yes
03:17Happy, eh
03:18Merry Christmas
03:22You're a little late for last-minute shopping, aren't you?
03:25Oh, no, I wish
03:26No, I'm really late for work
03:27See ya
03:28Yes, fascinating
03:30I'm not surprised he
03:33He doesn't want to be at home at the moment
03:35Why?
03:38What's been happening at Lesbian Ranch?
03:46My donation for our secret Santa
03:49Oh, yeah, the table looks dead nice, Eva
03:53I hope you'll be handing out sunglasses
03:55Now, Ollie
03:57As wonderful as it is to see you bonding with little Frankie here
04:00Don't you think you should go check on the food?
04:03Of course
04:04Everything's under control, Nan
04:06He's making my favourite
04:10A bird within a bird within a bird
04:13You seen something you don't like, Maggie?
04:19Plenty
04:20Ta-da
04:25Oh, I hate leaving you on your own
04:30I'm gonna sit and mope and watch everything I've circled in the TV guide
04:34Well, at least you know I'll come back sober
04:37Yeah, Kev's enough to make anyone leave that
04:40Right, come on then, me and you, let's get off
04:43To see Jack and open some presents
04:46See you later
04:47Oh, some presents?
04:49Your presents
04:50It just feels weird being here
05:00Especially when I'm leaving Leanne to fend for herself at speed, darling
05:03Well, they invited us
05:04And all these men are being a great cook, so
05:06Come on, open it
05:08It's symbolic
05:11Of what?
05:13The key to your heart?
05:15Listen
05:15I love you
05:16And I think we should move in together
05:18In fact, we can pick up the keys for Kit's old flat at Red Bank whenever you want
05:24Are you serious?
05:25Yeah, I'm serious
05:26Ali and Nazir, will you make me the happiest man on earth?
05:30I'll move in with me
05:31I'd love to
05:33Kit, what did you think you were doing?
05:37Come on, babe, it's Christmas, one or two won't hurt
05:39As long as it's only one or two
05:42It's bird
05:43Within a bird
05:44Within a bird
05:45Sounds very
05:46Henry VIII
05:48Divorced, beheaded, died
05:51Divorced, beheaded
05:53Survived
05:54I always find that last one very disappointing
05:57Hey
05:59Merry Christmas
06:00Merry Christmas, Daniel
06:01Hello, young man
06:02Just wanted to give Megan a Christmas present
06:03Oh, and is this your little guy?
06:07Couldn't you just eat him?
06:09Come here to me
06:10Oh, you're gorgeous
06:13You must stay for dinner
06:15We'll set two more places
06:17We have more company
06:18Well, I'm sure Daniel's got all the places to be
06:21Hey, us barlows would do anything to avoid Tracy's crusty old nut roast
06:25Perfect
06:26We'll take the little lad upstairs to where the other kids are playing
06:30And would someone give Daniel here a drink from the bar?
06:34Thought we weren't doing gifts
06:35Well, aren't you going to work on it?
06:43A weekend away at the Dovedale Spa
06:48Oh, for two
06:49Oh, wow
06:50That's supposed to be amazing
06:52Thank you
06:53Will?
07:06Sorry about him
07:07He's missing his girlfriend
07:09Chloe and Hull
07:11Bless him
07:13So, Audrey's gone to Gales for Christmas, has she?
07:19Did she fly?
07:21Yeah, bless her
07:22Oh, I so miss air travel
07:24You know, the glamour of the trolley dollies
07:26In-flight entertainments
07:28And on one particularly memorable jaunt across the Grand Canyon
07:31The giddy thrills of the Mile High Club
07:34I hope you two don't want feeding
07:37David!
07:38Yeah, worry not
07:39We're not peripatetic noshers
07:41We just dropped by to wish you felicitations of the season
07:45And a happy birthday, of course
07:46Sorry, David's a bit stressed
07:49His birthday present from his mum's gone missing
07:51Well, I'm not bothered
07:53Do I look bothered?
07:54Yes, David, actually
07:55You look incredibly bothered
07:56Oh, the curse of the light-fingered postman strikes again
07:59Abidemi is not light-fingered
08:01Abidemi's quite fit, actually
08:03Oh, broad
08:04You know, Mother swore blind
08:06That she sent me Ben Shepard novelty coasters last Micklemas
08:10Did they arrive?
08:12Did they poncho?
08:13Gale sent a picture that the delivery driver took
08:16Whose doorstep does that look like to you?
08:18I mean, I had to make my own out of cork flooring, pastry cutter
08:22And a couple of taker breaks
08:23Well, it's classic Gale, isn't it?
08:25She's got a postcode to a house that she lived at for four million years
08:28Could that be Tim and Sally's?
08:31I don't want a stupid present, anyway
08:34Oh, now that is one hell of a moist breast
08:42Plumptious, that's what it is
08:45Oh, we taste buds think it's Christmas
08:47Oh, hang on a minute
08:48It is
08:48It is Christmas
08:49And compliments to the chef
08:51Thank you, Todd
08:52Cheers
08:53Cheers
08:54I'm the sous chef
08:56Did you get my email?
09:01Oh, I'm so sorry
09:02That's so rude of me
09:03Yes, thank you very much
09:05What email?
09:07Oh, Summer's got him the most amazing gift
09:09She was telling us before
09:10Lovely
09:11Oh, I
09:11I'm jealous
09:12I am, I am spitting feathers
09:14Right, so you know he really fancies Andrew Scott
09:17So I have got him tickets to an Andrew Scott retrospective at a film festival
09:22Including a Q&A with the man himself
09:24Oh, was Andrew Scott in Hettie Wainthrop?
09:27Oh, lucky Hettie
09:29I don't think so
09:31Didn't know you were such a fan of his canon of work
09:35I don't think it was that canon he was interested
09:38Oh, what did the kids get you for you?
09:41Was it socks and smellies?
09:42Oh, kids, honestly
09:44They can be so unimaginative, can't they?
09:47Do you know what Daisy got me one Christmas?
09:49What?
09:50A pencil sharpener
09:51Oh, no, they've not got me now yet
09:56But I'm sure that'll be rectified soon
09:57Yeah
09:57I, um, I've got to try the form
10:00Didn't I, love?
10:01Yeah
10:02It's gorgeous
10:03Oh, isn't it amazing
10:05We can get in the 50-piece shop
10:06Andrew Scott, though, eh?
10:09I don't think he is
10:10He thinks you fancy Terry Scott
10:12He's that hot priest
10:14In that thing where she went round being posh
10:15Talking to me
10:16Oh, yes, no, I know, I know
10:18Yeah, yeah
10:19Speaking of vicars
10:20Billy's taking his time, isn't he?
10:23Yeah, it's his busiest day of the year, isn't it?
10:24No
10:25Ah, all these hot priests everywhere, eh?
10:29What a lucky boy you are, Torey
10:30This is lovely
10:33Mm, mm, mm
10:34I'm gonna go
10:35You all right, Lisa Lou?
10:43Um, I've got a text from Rory
10:45He says you rang the hotel
10:46That car I booked on
10:47And she never checked in
10:48Oh, no biggie
10:49Maybe she changed her mind
10:51And went somewhere else
10:52Well, obviously she went somewhere else
10:54The question is where
10:56And she's disabled the tracker on her phone, so
10:58Right
10:59Well, I'm nipping out for an hour
11:03What, now?
11:05Well, I can't divulge too much
11:06But even on Christmas Day
11:07There's stuff I need to sort for Spain
11:09Crack you, in and out more times than anything, Carla
11:12Sorry
11:14Mm-hmm
11:15Sorry
11:18Hey
11:30I just wanted to check you were cool with me and Ali have been here
11:33Maggie kind of press ganged us
11:35Yeah, she's good at that
11:36It's fine, darling
11:37You OK?
11:39My letter
11:40Which letter?
11:42The letter
11:42I think someone's taken it out of my bag
11:46Look, let me have a look in your bag
12:03Maybe a fresh pit of ice
12:05I've done nothing but check it
12:06Fill your boots
12:06I don't believe that it's just fallen out somewhere
12:11Well, if it has, someone's obviously chucked it
12:13Which is a good thing
12:14No news is good news
12:15I feel sick
12:16It's not there, is it?
12:18No
12:18Oh, do you know what?
12:19Maggie's been so off with me
12:21But then she's like that every day, isn't she?
12:22I'm sure if she'd found it, you'd know by now
12:24Yeah, that's true
12:25Look, calm down
12:26Deep breaths
12:27All right, Beth
12:29Everything all right in here?
12:31Yeah, fine
12:32I'd better, um
12:33Listen, babe, I've got no problem with your ex being here
12:40About holding hands
12:41I know, I'm sorry
12:42What happens the next time we walk in?
12:44He's unhooking your bra
12:44He was just giving me a pep talk
12:46With his fingers
12:47Babe, I was just getting wound up about Maggie
12:49He was just calming me down
12:51So come to me, not Bonnie Prince Charlie
12:52I know, I'm sorry
12:54Look, for what it's worth, I'm sorry about my ma
12:56Which bit?
12:58Ha, all of her
12:59Come on, babe, strength to the numbers
13:02Oh, good day
13:04You all right?
13:25Sorry to hear about your mum
13:26It's what it is
13:29Happens to us all eventually, I guess
13:32You must miss her
13:38Being daft, really, but
13:40Yeah
13:41Nothing daft about it
13:43People are still around
13:45You want to make the most of him
13:47It's what we need, isn't it?
13:51What?
13:54Human contact
13:54You haven't stolen Gail's presents
14:00Yeah, but that looks like your doorstep
14:03Doesn't it?
14:05That's nothing like our doorstep, you plum
14:07Well, Mary said it was
14:09Well, has Mary got a degree in step recognising?
14:13Well, it might have been Brian
14:14Have you been shaming us on some sort of chat group?
14:18No, they came round for Christmas drinks
14:20Oh, since when were you Polly with Brian and Mary?
14:24I'm not
14:24You've never invited us round for Christmas drinks
14:26Look, I'm sure I would have noticed if one of our presents said
14:29Happy birthday, David, love mum
14:31Yeah
14:33Yeah, I suppose
14:34Well, you don't mind, I'm not bothered anyway
14:36I didn't want to tell your face that
14:37Do you know what, Tim? Forget it
14:39It's a nice tap, very festive
14:47I made that
14:49Yeah
14:51Bit dry
14:53Well, now you've had your meds and some scram
14:57You're going to leave a nice reassuring voice note for my lady wife
15:00No, I'm not
15:01No, I'm not
15:01I'm not doing it
15:04You know, when she realises I'm missing, she'll come looking for me
15:09Oh, right
15:10Do you really think so?
15:14You see, that's not the impression I got last night when she was...
15:17Oh, no, I don't want to rub it in
15:20You can probably smell her perfume on me
15:24If I found the evidence that you're corrupt
15:30It's only a matter of time before there's due to
15:32Oi, Miss World, shut your face
15:35Just need to reply to my lease
15:43Oh, she wants me
15:56Maybe I'm just better than you
16:00Oh, did I mention that we slept together last night?
16:04Again
16:04My bad
16:06Naughty Becky
16:07That's what she said, actually
16:11He's acting like you used to a serious
16:22Oh, come on
16:24It's not like I got him a present
16:25Oh, me
16:26Oh, really?
16:29Well, I feel a bit daft now
16:34Well, open it then
16:37A new earbuds, thanks
16:43There you are
16:48I feel I should be banging a gong
16:50Come in now, will you?
16:51Dinner is served
16:53Got a skirt on
16:59It's a skirt
16:59Oh, sound of music
17:02Yes, yes, yes
17:03My girl, my girl
17:05Oh, I love that film
17:09I played Maria on the ship
17:10Oh, here we go
17:11Oh, we did the whole thing in 40 minutes
17:13I was basically editing highlights
17:15It was me spinning around on the Alp
17:18And then it cut straight to that Rolf
17:19Pulling a gun on those poor kiddies
17:21Good heavens
17:21Oh, put that off their kiddies
17:23The wrong side of third
17:24And then dark still
17:26The audience went nuts for it
17:27I've got loads of these fascinating anecdotes
17:29I'll lend it
17:30No, if you ever suffer from insomnia
17:31Phone her up and ask her about a 12-minute chitty-chitty band
17:33Right, here we go
17:34Okay, it's the song
17:36Oh, the song
17:36It's hard to tell with your acting
17:38Oh, shut up
17:38Five words
17:40Yes, please, love
17:41First word, first word
17:43You okay?
17:46They're not answering
17:47Who?
17:49Do you know a video call, the kids?
17:51No
17:51What are you doing?
17:54There's more tips than anything, so
17:59I'll, um, get a bite
18:01Oh, no words
18:05Exactly
18:05But this is so much better than Tracy's nuts
18:08What is it exactly?
18:12It's a bird within a bird within a bird
18:15Ollie?
18:16It's a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey
18:18Do you like it?
18:20Yeah, it's fantastic, isn't it?
18:21Mmm, so are the roasties
18:22And this nut roast is definitely not crusty
18:25My grandson is a very special cook
18:28In fact, all my boys are special
18:31And they deserve to be surrounded by special things, Lauren
18:36How are the kids?
18:40Well, yeah, fine
18:41You're not tempted to stay with them
18:43My boys deserve only the best
18:48In life, in work
18:50And especially in love
18:52Uh, is it time for Secret Santa yet?
19:00Food first
19:01Fun later
19:03So, um, do you like being a chef?
19:09I do, yeah
19:09Yeah, well, I'm in rubbish company
19:11I bet you're not
19:12Nah, I am
19:13I could burn a salad
19:14We'll have to pouch you for speed, darling
19:16You'll need a big pan
19:17That wee lad's going nowhere
19:20Wee lad?
19:21I bet you like that, mate
19:21I think I'll always be his wee lad
19:23A toast
19:24To my boys
19:26Merry Christmas
19:28Merry Christmas
19:29Merry Christmas
19:30Hey
19:34The Poland Express is on later
19:37I thought we could all
19:38Hunker down and watch it together
19:40Don't confuse the boundaries, Kev
19:43We did this for the lads
19:44Confuse the boundaries
19:46I'm not throwing my lips on you
19:48He's won, I've lost
19:49I'm over it
19:50Kev
19:50Look, he might be younger than me
19:52He might be better looking than me
19:53Don't, you know what?
19:54I can't call with this
19:55I've got a text card
19:56Tell him what's going on
19:57Alfie
19:59We need to go now, kiddo
20:01Can you hurry up?
20:14Mobile, answer call on speakerphone
20:31Colin?
20:33Colin?
20:34Colin, are you there?
20:36Are you there?
20:37Are you there?
20:38A bit of a weird concept, isn't it?
20:42Secret Santa
20:43Well, it's a bit weird buying vouchers for spa weekends for people you hardly even know
20:48It's a family tradition
20:50Do you know what?
20:51I actually do need socks
20:52I said that this morning, didn't I, Adam?
20:53She did
20:54Your pillow talk is outrageous
20:57And the next one is for
21:01Drum roll, please
21:03Oh
21:03Ben
21:07Wee-hee
21:09Is it a jigsaw?
21:14Oh, come on, what is it?
21:15Wouldn't you like to know?
21:20To my baby
21:21Give it to me
21:22Let him read
21:23Ben
21:23Give it to me, please, give it to me
21:25I said, let him read it
21:27You bitch
21:29Let my son read the lovely gift I got him
21:32What is it?
21:33Oh, just evidence of an affair
21:36What?
21:37Between Eva and Adam
21:55Why are you so intent on killing our relationship?
22:04Maybe I don't want my son to be with a two-timing tart
22:07Read it out to the group
22:09Ma
22:09It's a letter to the baby she aborted
22:12When she and Ben were going through a rough patch
22:16Rough patch?
22:17He probably gave her a few dirty looks
22:20He went back to his wife?
22:21And you went running back to the groin of his lordship here
22:25Oh, sorry
22:26Adam, my rock
22:28This is true
22:29Your words, not mine
22:31There was no affair
22:32I don't think that Adam's...
22:33Babe, I can explain
22:34Well, go ahead then
22:35And Adam continued to be her rock
22:38When she aborted their child
22:40Oh, you're not a very nice person, are you?
22:42Do you know the worst of it?
22:43It's still going on
22:44Oh, please
22:45No, I'm not having it
22:46It's not
22:46Because it wasn't in the first place, babe
22:48I promise
22:49And it's got enough all to do with you
22:51Is this why you two were holding hands earlier?
22:52What?
22:53No
22:53Are you happy now?
22:55Not by a long shot
22:56Because you have broken my son's heart
22:59Whether or not Eva had an abortion is frankly none of your business
23:02Is it not?
23:03Frankly
23:04Well, isn't it a woman's right to choose?
23:06What she chose was infidelity
23:08What kind of a mother are you?
23:10Daniel
23:10To do this to your own family
23:11And on Christmas Day
23:12You can take that smirk off your face and all
23:15Mate, I'm not smirking
23:16Nothing happened
23:17Who do you think you're giving your dirty looks to?
23:19You're completely misreading the situation
23:20Aye
23:21Well, misread
23:22Ben!
23:22Ben!
23:22Oh!
23:30Yeah, don't worry, Betsy
23:31I'm fine
23:32I'm having a really lovely holiday
23:35Only Roy rang the hotel and you're not staying there
23:39No, I, er
23:41I had to move in the end
23:44I'm staying at a new place now
23:46It's, erm
23:47It's called
23:48Rhubarb Hill Hotel
23:50Rhubarb Hill Hotel?
23:52Yeah, yeah
23:53I'm in the busing suite
23:55Ha!
23:57Well, I hope you're having a good time
23:58I'm
23:59Missing you
24:00James
24:12James
24:12Get dressed and get up
24:14Abby's on her way back
24:15What?
24:16Just hurry up
24:17Be quiet, I'm calling her
24:18Hiya, love
24:21Er, where are you?
24:23I'm just outside the main door
24:24Wicked
24:26Er, listen
24:26Would you do me a favour?
24:27Would you just go to the car
24:28And get me charger out of the glove box, please?
24:31I haven't got the keys
24:33Oh, but I, I, I thought you always had them
24:35Oh, God, you're lazy
24:36Oh, no, hang on
24:38Tell her I've got on here
24:39Yeah, do you mind?
24:41Yeah
24:41I'm running out of juice
24:42Yeah, of course I can
24:43Just give us a sec
24:44Right, well, come on
24:47We need to go and get Carl's charger
24:49One more move like that and I'm phoning the police
25:04Why do you hate me so much?
25:07Sit down
25:07This could take some time
25:09Oi
25:09Have you got anything to say for yourself?
25:12Oh, I've got plenty
25:13And don't you oi me
25:14Lies
25:15All lies
25:16I never had an affair with Adam
25:18The letter says different
25:19He supported me while
25:21How can you trust a certain word she says?
25:23Well, I was supporting our baby
25:24What?
25:31The baby was ours
25:32What was with that stupid hotel name?
25:41Well, I don't know, do I?
25:43I didn't think on my feet
25:44You had a, you had a knife pointed at me
25:46I don't know why I said rhubarb or whatever
25:49You're giving me a headache
25:50Do you talk like this with Lise?
25:53No wonder she's gone off you
25:54Biggest regret of my life, she said
25:57Meeting Carla
25:58The biggest regret of my life
26:00Is following you, Ian
26:01You did not
26:03Because I'd have known
26:05Don't lie
26:08Okay
26:11All right
26:13Costello
26:14Tell me the address
26:15The rest you do know
26:17What rest do I know?
26:19That I broke in here
26:20That you caught me
26:21Red-handed
26:22You know, but if I were you
26:25I wouldn't have left
26:28An incriminating burner phone
26:29Just lying around
26:30Linking me to
26:31Hit on Costello
26:33You're so boring
26:34Right
26:37Well, I can't stand around here
26:39Chewing the cud all day
26:40People to see
26:41Wives to bed
26:43So she's not your wife, is she?
26:47Because you're officially dead
26:48So that makes her your widow
26:50Funny you mention dead
26:52Because Lisa
26:55Said that sleeping with you
26:58Was like going to bed
27:01With a corpse
27:03Happy Christmas, Ducky
27:10Oh
27:21Oh
27:22Oh
27:22Somewhere
27:23Oh
27:24Oh, now that is what I call a beautiful set of conflicts
27:29Aren't they look
27:29Aren't you lucky
27:31You
27:31Yeah
27:32It was a good service, Billy
27:34It was
27:35It was lovely
27:36Was it all Christmas?
27:37It was
27:38It was
27:38We had carols around the crib
27:40And mince pies afterwards
27:42Oh, mince pies
27:42You should have gone, George
27:44Oh
27:45Was there, erm
27:46Mulled wine?
27:48It's a family service, love
27:49Not happy hour at the legs of man
27:51You all right over there, Theo?
27:54You're looking a bit
27:55Oh, sorry
27:55Oh
27:56Oh
27:57Are we outstaying our welcome?
27:58Oh, no, no, no, no
27:59Oh, wait, tell us
28:00Well, no, you can tell me
28:02I mean, I'm
28:02I'm very hard to offend
28:04Unless it's racism
28:06I do take offence at that
28:08No, no, honestly, of course not
28:09You're fine
28:10You're a worse actor than she is
28:12That's bullying, that
28:16I'm going to torture my union
28:18National Union of Brace and Barmates
28:20Speaking of which, shall we, erm
28:23Shall we adjourn to the Rovers?
28:26Oh, no, no, no
28:26Don't leave on my account
28:28Although I think old Torrington's ready for a lie down, aren't you?
28:31Yeah, you are looking a bit quiet over there, mate
28:33I think he's had one over the eight
28:34I'm fine
28:36That's what they all say
28:37I'll tell you what, Billy, he'll miss you
28:39Found out today he's got a thing for old priests
28:41Have to get myself a dog collar
28:42Joe, what's what's under your castle?
28:46All right, well, erm
28:47Yeah, well
28:48Nice to see you both
28:50I'll be briefly
28:51Come here
28:52Yeah, sorry about that
28:53You get your bag and I'll get your coat
28:57Oh, come here
28:58Oh, very good
29:00Thanks ever so much
29:01Bye, love, bye, Summer
29:05Yeah, get that down there
29:07All right
29:07Bye
29:09You know full well when we were going through a rough patch
29:12And you know full well why we were
29:14Don't put that on me
29:15So this abortion's on me, is it?
29:16The only thing that I regret about that termination
29:19Is not telling you
29:20But babe, how could I?
29:22How could I bring the baby into that?
29:24You weren't even taking my calls
29:25You were living back with the dragon
29:27Don't call her that
29:28And whenever we did talk to each other
29:29We were just taking shots
29:31And yet you still got pregnant by me
29:33Allegedly
29:34Don't you dare
29:37Sorry
29:38I was in no fit state
29:41To bring the baby and Susie up on my own
29:44Now if I'd have thought for one second
29:46That we were going to get back together
29:47I would have told you
29:48So where does Adam fit into all of this?
29:51He doesn't
29:52Not really
29:53Except the fact that he was a supportive friend
29:55He was meeting a client in Hull
29:57I bumped into him at the Paragon Interchange
29:59He was getting the train
30:00I was getting the bus
30:01Kismet
30:02Just to let you know
30:06Your pub is open
30:07Oh
30:08Oh it's my pub when it suits you
30:10Well I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to put a shift in Maggie
30:13Get your hands as dirty as your tongue
30:15Are you going to let her speak to me like that?
30:18Very exciting to be summoned here
30:23Like this
30:24It's very nice
30:25Quite palatial
30:27Mind you you must be earning a bob or two now aren't you?
30:31So you've actually spoken to Carla?
30:34Not me
30:35Bets
30:35Oh
30:37So
30:38How is she?
30:40What did she say?
30:41Erm
30:42She said she was at a hotel
30:43Can't believe Bets actually spoke to her
30:45It's reassuring though
30:46Is it?
30:48I want to be
30:49Well
30:50Doesn't it just confirm
30:51What you've been worrying about all along
30:54That she's ignoring you
30:55Blatantly
30:56See
30:57I'll make a very good barrister I will
31:00Because I've got a very incisive mind
31:02And also I'll look great in the wig
31:05And the
31:06Oh I see
31:07My glass appears to be
31:09Almost entirely empty
31:11Double
31:12It's warm though isn't it in here
31:14It's probably evaporating
31:16Hi Bonnie
31:19I'm home
31:20Oh
31:21We have company
31:23Merry Christmas
31:24Stranger
31:25Is that the sister?
31:27Hello
31:27This is Roy's friend
31:30Hi I'm Kim
31:31I spoke to Carla
31:33Brilliant finally
31:35How was she?
31:37It's hard to tell really
31:39Erm
31:40What are you doing?
31:42I'm ringing her
31:43Oh please
31:44What?
31:46Like she's going to answer
31:48Don't you think you should just face facts love?
31:53And what's that?
31:53You know
31:55Maybe
31:56Maybe
31:58Maybe
31:58Maybe
31:59She's just not cut out to be a lesbian
32:02No a lot of people aren't
32:05No I wasn't
32:07Sorry to send you on a wild goose chase
32:12I honestly thought my charger was in the car
32:14Forget me only
32:15If it wasn't screwed on
32:16So what have you been up to then
32:18While me and Kev have been pretending to play up your families?
32:20Oh just
32:21Watching paint dry
32:23Hmm
32:23Well
32:24Sounds like me and you have had very similar days
32:27Shall we erm
32:28Shall we make up for it now?
32:32What exactly were you thinking of?
32:34Well
32:35Come to the bedroom and I'll show you
32:37What's that aftershave you're wearing?
32:45It smells different
32:46Must be that old shower gel I used earlier
32:49What's this?
32:52It's nice innit?
32:53Erm
32:53I found it down the side of the couch
32:55Must be the previous tenants
32:58Now
33:00Where were we?
33:02En route to the bedroom
33:03On a one way ticket to paradise
33:06I often wonder if you're a statue
33:15Because you've got one hell of a brass neck on you
33:18That secret Santa stunt was evil
33:21I am a grandchild down because of you
33:24Are you not going to defend me here Ben?
33:27Why should I?
33:28She's right it was evil
33:30I'm not bothered
33:31Put that drink down ma
33:35And get her out of my house now
33:38I beg your pardon
33:39I want you gone
33:40Are you going to side with that little tart over me?
33:46Right first time
33:47His poor beautiful face
34:04What did you hit him?
34:07Wasn't me
34:08When a man gets hit like that
34:10Usually over a woman
34:11No
34:12Maybe someone's got the hots for Elliot
34:14Who doesn't have the hots for Elliot?
34:17Did I just say that out loud?
34:20Yes
34:20George
34:21Keep it down
34:22People might think we're swingers
34:24Oh
34:24Like these two
34:25Behave yourself Mary's
34:27If we're swingers
34:27I'll know what you're doing later
34:29I'm going to have a nice shiner
34:33Thanks to you
34:33You had no right
34:34Oh shut up
34:35No he's right
34:37Adam I'm sorry
34:39I shouldn't have reacted the way I did
34:42I've just spoken with the weaver
34:43She's explained everything
34:44Um
34:46Accept my apology
34:48Well this won't be a Christmas that we forget any time soon
34:53You've got a lot to save yourself
34:55Hey
34:56Sorry
34:57And I'll hear
34:59You've got to believe Adam
35:01None of it's true
35:01Oh I never believed a word
35:03But you want to have a word with your mother
35:05Has she calmed down?
35:06She's packing her bags
35:09Vastard to leave
35:10What?
35:12Any sign of Megan?
35:13She's gone home
35:14She don't feel well
35:16She wanted me to tell you but
35:18Whoops
35:18I forgot
35:19Listen
35:24I know that you've got the hots for your teacher
35:26You little git
35:27But how about you leave her for the grown-ups

36:19Yes Will
36:20You do
36:21You were so vile to Daniel today
36:23Classic
36:24I defend him why don't you?
36:26You're going to give the game away at this rate
36:28And the state of him
36:29You know he had his hands all over my woman
36:31You're drunk
36:34What's he going to be like on your little weekend away?
36:39Oh do you know what?
36:41I can't be doing with you when you're like this

39:01Tonight
39:02I wish you all
39:07A very happy Christmas
39:10Happy Christmas
39:13Aw, that was nice
39:15I just want to say thank you
39:24What for?
39:27How are you for?
39:30And just being so nice and patient today
39:34That was our first Christmas, innit?
39:38Wanting to be special
39:40In that case, thank you too
39:43For what?
39:46For being you
39:47Your authentic self
39:50Can't be easy
39:53You know, with your
39:55Various issues
39:56I'm
39:59Unless you were being sarcastic
40:01I wasn't
40:03Stand up
40:06Are you sure you weren't being sarcastic?
40:10Yeah
40:10Are you sure?
40:17Merry Christmas, daughter
40:24Merry Christmas
40:54Oh, I say, what a beautiful coat. I love that colour.
41:08Merry Christmas, Maggie. I don't know if you've met my dear friend, Evelyn Plummer.
41:14Merry Christmas to you, and may 2026 bring you everything you wish yourself and more.
41:21Are you off travelling?
41:22Are you all right, Maggie?
41:26No. Any idiot can see she's not all right. She's in pieces.
41:29Oh, let's just say I've fallen out with Ben.
41:34Oh, dear. Who's Ben?
41:37My son.
41:37Well, maybe it's just bad karma, you know, because you shut the pub on Christmas Day.
41:45We were having a family meal, but everything went awry.
41:51Well, if there's anything I could do.
41:55Do you know any decent hotels around here?
41:57Well, I could drive you over to Chariot Square, if you like.
42:03Good thinking, Batman.
42:05And could you call ahead when we're en route?
42:09My phone is running out of juice.
42:11Just tell them one night, one person with breakfast, and try and get a free upgrade to a suite.
42:18Oh, I'm rather sorry we came over in the best place.
42:30And relax.
42:37My lady?
42:39Quite good, sir.
42:41I'm sorry.
42:46Isn't that my line?
42:48I should have been there for you.
42:51We got there eventually, didn't we?
42:54I'll never let you down again.
43:11I've dreamed about you.
43:16Got on the lucky one.
43:20Come in and let's into one.
43:24I've got a...
43:26I've got a...
43:41I've got a...
