00:30What's all this?
00:35Oh, are you writing your great novel?
00:37Not sure I've got one of those in me.
00:38It's for the data being a tippity player.
00:40Oh, Jim, if you're in need of the back end of a donkey,
00:43my brother's always available.
00:45Helen's supposed to be organising it, but she's full of the cold.
00:47I hope she's feeling better for Christmas Day.
00:49Look, she's under strict instructions to stay in bed.
00:52I don't want her worrying. I told her I can manage.
00:55That's my costume.
00:56And I play an angel who comes down from Hebden.
01:02From heaven?
01:04Jimmy, you haven't come from just down the road.
01:06Mrs Hall, there's a highly inventive recipe here for a murky.
01:09Doesn't look half bad.
01:12What's a murky?
01:13It's a mock turkey.
01:15It's stuffing, which I know you like, wrapped in bacon,
01:18and then we all pretend it's a roast.
01:21Are those parsnips?
01:22For legs?
01:23National shortage of the real bird, you see.
01:24I've still got a couple of leads.
01:26I've not given up on finding one yet.
01:28No, I think we must face facts.
01:29Anything with wings is long since sold.
01:31I have wings.
01:32And I can't wait to see them in action, Jimmy.
01:36Yes, the Magi weren't there at the birth, of course.
01:40And they weren't kings.
01:41Thank you, that's very helpful.
01:42And there's no mention in the Bible of animals in the stable.
01:44Well, I say stable.
01:45It's more like a family guest room.
01:47It's all down to a mistranslation of the Greek.
01:49Do you not like Christmas, Uncle Siegfried?
01:52Are you kidding?
01:53This is him loving Christmas.
01:54Quite right.
01:55And if you don't behave, I'll tell you how they celebrate in Austria.
01:59Krampus.
02:01I'm due at Stokes Farm.
02:03See you for lunch.
02:04I mean, parsnips.
02:07For legs.
02:07Mrs. Stokes.
02:23Mrs. Stokes.
02:31Mrs. Stokes, you'll catch your death out here.
02:33Oh, well, I thought you'd best see what this daft ape has been up to.
02:37Oh, are we in trouble again, Hilda?
02:39Well, she got out in the night.
02:41And then this morning, I caught her at the house opposite, chewing on this.
02:46Ah, it's a hazard of Christmas for goats.
02:49There's laurel in it.
02:51It can be harmful.
02:52Well, I know that.
02:53Do you think I walked down to the telephone box for the good of me health?
02:57Well, at least she doesn't seem to have eaten too much.
03:00Oh, there's no luck in it.
03:01Just me hobbling after her in the freezing cold.
03:05And I must have just got there in time.
03:06She'd have gabbled a lot.
03:08Give her half a chance.
03:09Let's take a look at you.
03:10Thank you, beggar.
03:13At least there's no sign of lethargy.
03:16There you go.
03:17Abdomen doesn't seem to be distended.
03:22All right.
03:24No excess salivation.
03:25I'm sure she's fine.
03:26Oh.
03:27Let's give her a drench just to be on the safe side.
03:29Oh, you're going to give her a drench, are you?
03:32It's entirely routine, Mrs Stokes.
03:34I think I can manage.
03:36Ah.
03:37Right, let's get you safely shut up in the barn, shall we?
03:42Come on.
03:43There we go.
03:44In you go.
03:44Come on.
03:45Come on.
03:46You duck, David.
03:48Yes, the old ways work sometimes.
03:51The tannins in the tea prevent absorption of the toxins, you see.
03:54Oh.
03:55Hey, but you'll need more than that, innit?
03:57I can tell her you don't mother tea so often.
04:02I might normally advise her ruminotomy.
04:05What?
04:05Cut her open?
04:07It's the only way of getting out what she's eaten.
04:10But given her age, I really wouldn't want to put her through that if we can avoid it.
04:14Oh, no.
04:14I don't like the sound of that.
04:18Stick some of that in.
04:20You can't give a brandy.
04:21A little nip.
04:23It works wonders.
04:24For you, perhaps.
04:25For her, no.
04:27By heck.
04:28I need it for you.
04:29Are you looking forward to Christmas, Mrs. Stokes?
04:36Yeah, well, it'll be a farmer's Christmas, same as any other day.
04:40But I might let the old girl in the kitchen for a few treats.
04:44If she behaves herself.
04:46That's a big if, knowing Hilda.
04:48Aye.
04:50What about you?
04:52Well, everybody's home this year.
04:54I'm rather looking forward to it.
04:55Oh, good.
04:57Why, you don't want to be rattling around that big house on your own again, do you?
05:00Not if I can help it, no.
05:04Now, well, you'll make the most of it.
05:06Because they won't be there forever, will they?
05:08None of them.
05:09Yes, perhaps we'll let it grow a little longer.
05:20Aye.
05:24So, if you hear of a turkey going spare, or a goose, or a pigeon, actually, would you just let me know?
05:31You're entering a team into the Christmas Eve darts, aren't you?
05:34Well, I'm not a bad shot, but...
05:35The prize is a turkey.
05:37What?
05:39Audrey might not have heard.
05:43How on earth did you find a turkey?
05:46There's a lot of drunken farmers in this pub agreeing to things that they later regret.
05:51Right, well, I'll tell Mrs. H.
05:53We've got Charlotte coming to us for Christmas.
05:55You can't serve murky to a Beauvoir.
05:58You bringing her on Christmas Eve?
06:00Or are we not fancy enough for you?
06:01You're spitting sawdusts of the highest quality, Maggie, but...
06:05Still.
06:06You're meant to be de-mob happy.
06:08Yeah, you can't not come.
06:10There'll be a lively one with so many back home.
06:16I'll be raising a glass to Arthur.
06:19We loved it, he did.
06:24Christmas.
06:26I had to drag him out of here last time.
06:28Still singing, all the way home.
06:30Well, that was Arthur.
06:32Which is why we're going to have the biggest tree with the brightest lights...
06:37And no-one telling us to cover the windows up.
06:41Quite so.
06:42When are you dropping the tree off, by the way?
06:44Sorry?
06:46You said you'd pick one up for me, didn't you?
06:49With me being run ragged between here and little Albert.
06:51You've not forgotten.
06:56I want a decent one.
07:00Maggie, I'm not one of your drunken farmers.
07:04How could I possibly have forgotten?
07:06Easy, Hilda.
07:13Easy.
07:14Easy.
07:15See, that's why I put the brandy in.
07:18She don't fight, then.
07:20Hilda.
07:21Hilda.
07:22Oh.
07:27Hilda!
07:28Don't just stand there.
07:30It's not this silly about this.
07:35Hilda!
07:39Come on.
07:42Yes, I know.
07:44I know he's making a palaver of it.
07:47Hilda!
07:49Don't you dare...
07:50Come back.
07:51Blimey.
07:53Hilda!
07:53Come back, Hilda!
08:00The war's not foreseen, I'm all right.
08:06You're not all right.
08:07You're burning up.
08:10Oh, James.
08:11I feel like a wrung-out dishcloth.
08:13I've not iced Jimmy's cake yet.
08:15It's crisp as wrapping, still, and a list of Esther, my dad being in London.
08:19Aye, aye.
08:20But I know what you'll do.
08:22You'll get back into that bed.
08:25Leave all this...
08:27to your very capable husband.
08:30What?
08:34Hoppet.
08:36Right, one last pin.
08:38Jimmy!
08:39Jimmy!
08:40Change of plan.
08:41You finish the Nativity crowns, I'll wrap these.
08:43Wilco.
08:44But, James,
08:45Mrs. Book referred.
08:47She's on her way in to see you.
08:48No, I...
08:50You know,
08:57what you should do
08:59is get yourself a nice young lady.
09:03Well, my thoughts always tend to romance at times like this.
09:06I mean,
09:07you've still got your looks.
09:09Probably for not much longer now.
09:11Thank you, Mrs. Stokes.
09:13Now, that'll do it.
09:14Okay.
09:15That should do it, as I say.
09:21Any change, just let me know.
09:22Ah, will do.
09:24Gather your rosebuds while you may, Mr. Farnon.
09:28Robert Herrick, yes.
09:29Aye.
09:29And while you may,
09:31go marry,
09:32for having once but lost your prime.
09:34You may forever tarry.
09:36Quite.
09:37Any chance for a cup of tea before I go?
09:40Oh, give me Otter the goat.
09:47Merry bloody Christmas to you, too.
09:51Imagine if we won it.
09:53Proper Christmas.
09:55Proper turkey.
09:57It's teams of three, Mrs. H.
09:59You may need to whip the rest of us into shape.
10:02Right.
10:02The board's coming out.
10:03Let's get practising.
10:05Pass me that.
10:05Yeah, also,
10:07do you know the best place to buy a Christmas tree?
10:11Well, there could be a couple left on the square.
10:13Why?
10:14Oh, some drunken idiot was supposed to get one for the drovers,
10:18and he forgot.
10:21Oh.
10:22Tristan.
10:23What about darts?
10:25Look, I'll be as quick as I humanly can.
10:27If we lose,
10:29you're getting the pass, nipleg.
10:30Oh, my goodness.
10:39Hello, Audrey.
10:40Well, Anna.
10:41Come in, come in.
10:45It's so very disappointing.
10:49The last little Pekingese in Keithley was really rather sweet.
10:54They would have made such handsome puppies.
10:56Sorry you haven't had better news.
10:57Is there really nothing more you can do to boost his chances?
11:02He's long since had all his checks.
11:04Mr. Bolton said that he'd heard of some injections.
11:09Testosterone, yes.
11:10So why haven't we tried them?
11:12Because there can be side effects.
11:14Unpleasant ones.
11:18Tricky's given so much.
11:21He's had such a life.
11:23I can't abide the thought that one day he may be gone.
11:28We have nothing to show that he was ever here.
11:35I'd never forgive myself if we hadn't explored every available option.
11:41If it's what you want, Mrs. Pumphrey...
11:43I could be coming for tomorrow.
11:51Tricky and I can't thank you enough.
11:53The blasted goat's been at my tie.
12:06I didn't even know when that happened.
12:09Mrs. Stokes prattling on like I'm some misanthropic misfit
12:13who'd be lucky to strike up a dalliance with a bloody donkey.
12:18Dorothy.
12:20No sleep, Reed.
12:21You're not in Malta?
12:26Not as far as I can tell.
12:30I'm making tea.
12:31Do you want one?
12:32I made tea for the goat.
12:34An absolutely enormous cup.
12:36She was geriatric,
12:37otherwise I'd have preferred to have extracted the entire ruminal contents.
12:41That's what I missed about this place.
12:43The small talk.
12:46Anyway, I...
12:47Better get on.
12:50Dorothy.
12:51See you for a time.
12:59It's a donkey.
13:00Is it a donkey?
13:01I'll find a doggy one.
13:02Rosie.
13:03Come on, Rosie.
13:04Rosie.
13:06Should we put your costume on?
13:07Are you excited?
13:08I like it.
13:11Can't find the arm owls.
13:15Take the hat off and put your costume on.
13:19Can you do this, Susan?
13:29I can't do this.
13:30Okay.
13:31Anybody need any help?
13:33We need to sort that out.
13:35Get ready.
13:36Mr. Heriot will be here in a minute.
13:38Jimmy, where are your wings?
13:39All of these?
13:40Are you okay?
13:41All of these are in a bar.
13:42I still need to get mine.
13:42All right, everybody.
13:43Are you ready?
13:44You look great.
13:46Well done.
13:47Well done.
13:48Mrs. H is going to wonder where all our tea towels have gone.
13:51Now, this is a dress rehearsal, which means it's exactly the same as we do it in the square
13:56tomorrow.
13:57Mr. Heriot?
13:57Yes.
13:58Can I have a sword?
13:59Shepherds didn't really have swords.
14:01Um, but what about the wolves?
14:04Sure, you can have one.
14:06Yes.
14:06Um, all right, baby Jesus.
14:08Baby Jesus.
14:10Oh.
14:11Right, Bobby, can you put baby Jesus' head back on for me, please?
14:14Uh, Mabel, why has Mabel got a rabbit?
14:18He's got a sore eye.
14:20Mum says she wants you to look at him.
14:22All right.
14:23All right.
14:24We all set?
14:26Uh, Bobby, can you give baby Jesus to your sister?
14:31Um, right, ready?
14:32Shh.
14:33I hope you're not coming down with that cold, Bobby.
14:35Are we all set?
14:36Yes.
14:37Yes.
14:38Jimmy.
14:39Go.
14:40Mary, I am the angel Gabriel, and I bring great tidings from Hebden.
14:46Heaven.
14:47Jimmy.
14:47Heaven.
14:48Mary, I am the angel Gabriel, and I bring great tidings from Heaven.
14:56Good God, man, how long is this likely to take?
15:02Lucy, Susan, hand out the scripts.
15:04There's still a bit of work to do.
15:10I am trying to concentrate in there.
15:12Well, you'll have to manage.
15:14Look, I'm ragged here.
15:15And I've got Mrs. Pumphrey on my back, asking for hormone injections for tricky.
15:19Well, you've warned her about possible side effects, I hope.
15:21Muscle problems, hair loss, aggressive behaviour.
15:23And there's no guarantee it will work.
15:26Do you know it's a last resort?
15:27But if we don't try, it amounts to giving up.
15:30The dog is old.
15:31Giving up is the only sensible approach.
15:32Aye, but you can imagine how she'll take that.
15:35Dad, the Virgin Mary needs the toilet.
15:38The pussy eye.
15:46I'll do the eye drops then, shall I?
15:48What?
15:50Right.
15:53Yes, I'm off to Sunderland after Christmas to see them all.
15:57Been the making of Edward, being a dad.
16:01What about your Harry?
16:03Is he all right?
16:04Oh, yes.
16:06De-mobbed a few months ago.
16:07He wanted to move back to Yorkshire.
16:10And it was probably time for me as well.
16:11I followed all the news from Melter.
16:14Well, they say it was the most heavily bombed place in the war for those two years.
16:17No way out, even if I wanted to go.
16:19I thought you might come back after it were liberated.
16:22It seemed like giving up.
16:25And there were still good times to be had.
16:27You knew where to look.
16:28Well, you always know where to look.
16:31Anyway, it's in the past now.
16:34Well, I'm glad you're here.
16:35And I'd say it's someone else's, you know.
16:40You think?
16:41He couldn't get away quick enough.
16:44He'll have to make some allowances.
16:46He's been on his own a lot the last few years.
16:48I can tell.
16:49He's learnt to make tea.
16:53There's a good heart in there somewhere.
16:55Tries his best to keep it hidden, is all.
16:57Come on.
17:01Shh, shh, shh.
17:04Come on.
17:05You're up for darts practice.
17:06I'm actually quite busy.
17:07Er, there's a turkey at stake.
17:10I'm only thinking of you.
17:11Miss Dorothy's still here.
17:12No, don't worry.
17:13You're not a mister.
17:14Has it perhaps slipped your mind how she and I parted?
17:17No.
17:19Nor has it slipped my mind how well you used to get on.
17:22I'm sure this little chap's good company.
17:28But still.
17:43Oh, must have a cuddle.
17:45What?
17:46He's lovely.
17:47Oh, um, be careful with the eye.
17:49There may be some pus.
17:50Ooh.
17:51Right.
17:52We're entering a team at the Drovers.
17:55The prize is a turkey.
17:59I might be a little rusty.
18:00It's been some time.
18:04Oh.
18:05You seem a bit tense.
18:06Not in the least tense.
18:09Look at you.
18:10You're knotted up like a sailor's hanky.
18:13Like this.
18:15Like that, sir.
18:15Right foot forward.
18:19Eye on the target.
18:21I'm not the target, am I?
18:23Don't think about it too much.
18:27Yes.
18:28Very impressive secret.
18:33I'll take the money to the shed.
18:35No, no, I'll do it.
18:38Excuse me.
18:40Right.
18:41Right.
18:45Here.
18:50Here.
19:08Audrey thought he might want this.
19:10Well, I was thoughtful of her.
19:18Do you mind me calling in?
19:21Why would I mind?
19:23I've taken a little place in Broughton, you see.
19:25I thought I might be round from time to time.
19:28Oh, of course.
19:31Mrs Hall would be delighted.
19:32She was quite concerned for a while.
19:36When there was no news.
19:39Yes.
19:40I'm sorry about that.
19:41I'm surprised you came back.
19:43There was never really much here for you.
19:46Don't know if that's true.
19:48Why didn't you come back in for a cuppa?
19:54We've got so much to catch up on.
19:56I can't, I'm afraid.
19:58I have to mend the barn door for Mrs Stokes.
20:02Right.
20:05I should get going myself, really.
20:12Perhaps you could drop me off?
20:13Oh, well, I need to be up at the farm before it starts to get dark.
20:19We could go there first, if you like.
20:22It's very muddy.
20:24I'm not sure your shoes would...
20:25Siegfried.
20:26I've had bombs dropped on me.
20:28I'm not worried about a bit of mud.
20:29I'm not worried about a bit of mud.
20:43Hello, Mrs Stokes.
21:00It's only me.
21:02Oh, you're not back again, are you?
21:03I thought I'd take a look at this door for you.
21:06We don't want any more escapes, do we?
21:08Oh, no.
21:09Hey, as long as it's not going on my bill.
21:11Oh, yeah, especially if it takes two, have you?
21:15Oh, no, this is my...
21:16This is Dorothy.
21:18Hello, Mrs Stokes.
21:19I'm just tagging along.
21:21Oh, isn't she beautiful?
21:22Hey, don't let her fool you.
21:25She's a right temper on her and she's stubborn as out.
21:28How is she since the drench?
21:30Well, she's still off her foot.
21:33Well, that's to be expected.
21:34Keep a close eye on her.
21:36How much closer do you want me to get?
21:38Hey, let's me and you go for a brew and a chat.
21:42Wally, you're some puffs.
21:44Yes, please.
21:45I thought there was no more tea.
21:51And you can keep your opinions to yourself, too.
21:53Sorry, sorry.
22:06I was held up.
22:07Not to worry.
22:09I was just admiring your baubles.
22:10Oh, thank you.
22:12You know, I think it's going to be raucous in the drovers.
22:14If you'd prefer we just had a quiet drink in the manor, I'd understand.
22:18They're calling this the happiest Christmas ever and you want to spend it with Philbrick and me?
22:22Your horse, yes.
22:23I don't mind what you do.
22:25Mrs Hall's told me about the darts and she signed you up for the team.
22:28Ah, yes.
22:29Horse.
22:30I've never known you reluctant to go to the drovers before.
22:34I was supposed to get a treat.
22:36The one everyone's meant to be looking at when they turn the Christmas lights on.
22:39Right.
22:40There's not a decent one left in Darabee.
22:42I've been all over.
22:43It is December the 23rd.
22:45My name is going to be Mud.
22:47Have you thought about the Christmas tree farm?
22:50Just a guess, but I think they might have Christmas trees.
22:53You see, this is what having an expensive education does for you.
22:57So you'll be able to show your face on Christmas Eve after all.
23:07Leeds City Varieties, that one.
23:10Beloved me.
23:11I can tell that's you.
23:12You didn't say you were visiting a star.
23:15Were you on the stage?
23:16Lavinia Lavinshire.
23:19Yeah, Lavinshire.
23:20That one me made me.
23:22See, Rick, how long you been coming here?
23:23You only just found out.
23:25These are marvellous.
23:26You must have had a right all the time.
23:27Oh, aye.
23:28All over the country.
23:30All the great halls.
23:32I used to do a few bawdy ones.
23:35Well, they loved me.
23:36They did.
23:37I knew you weren't a born farmer.
23:40Ah, well.
23:42I met him, didn't I?
23:44Swept off me feet by Victor Stokes.
23:48I mean, he weren't fancy, but by God, you were handsome.
23:53I would have followed him to the hands of the earth.
23:56Well, I did, didn't I?
23:58That's sweet.
24:00But you stopped singing.
24:02Yeah, well, me heart never stops singing.
24:09All done out there?
24:11Should keep Hilda safe for a while.
24:13Oh, well, if not, I should be holding you responsible.
24:15I wouldn't have it any other way.
24:18We'd better be off.
24:20Lovely meeting you.
24:21Oh, yeah.
24:24Hey.
24:25That's a good'un.
24:27You keep holding.
24:28After you.
24:42Mm-hmm.
24:51You know, it was kind of you to do that for Mrs. Stokes.
24:53Pure self-interest.
24:55Saves me having to traipse up here
24:57every time the goat gets a belly full of something she shouldn't.
25:00It's like Audrey says.
25:02You got a good heart in there.
25:04She said that?
25:08It's incredible, you know.
25:10I came from a place that was changed beyond all recognition.
25:15This place,
25:17everything's the same as when I left.
25:19Some things have changed.
25:20Perhaps.
25:22Perhaps not things one can easily see.
25:24It seems rather quiet.
25:54Closed, due to illness.
25:57It is inconvenient.
25:59It's Christmas Eve.
26:01Come on, then.
26:19Your dedication is impressive, Mrs. Hall.
26:21Well, this is our first Christmas back together in a long while.
26:26This is what it takes to do it right.
26:31I shall make sure I put some practice in before tonight.
26:34Is Dorothy coming down?
26:37Well, I shouldn't think so.
26:38You did invite her, though.
26:40Out a ball.
26:41Not sure I can match that.
26:43Which is why I thought it would come in handy if she were there.
26:47She seemed to have a good idea of where you were going wrong.
26:50I'm quite sure I shall be able to manage by myself.
26:52Well, you might just stab yourself straight in the food.
26:57What?
26:58I just think she's much better suited to you than some of the other ladies.
27:03Frankly...
27:03The type that throws shoes at me.
27:05Once?
27:06That happened once?
27:06And I can't see why you're not cock-a-hoop.
27:08It's possibly because I like Plato's idea.
27:16Oh, of course it is.
27:17Well, I say Plato.
27:18He credits it to Aristophanes.
27:20Yes.
27:21Never mind that now.
27:23He believed that we all have our souls split into two.
27:32And we spend our lives trying to find our other half.
27:35Even if one half dies, we go off trying to find another that matches.
27:45And he says that once we've found our other half, we don't want to be separated again.
27:53Not even for a moment.
27:58I suppose I want that.
28:02Don't want much, do you?
28:05Yeah, I don't know about you, Plato.
28:11Sorry, Aristophanes.
28:14What if you spend your whole life looking for something that doesn't exist?
28:21And miss what's right under your nose?
28:28I'll get that.
28:29Daryby 2297.
28:42Oh, it's a flag.
28:43Mrs Stokes?
28:44Miss Hilda, she's worsened.
28:46Worsened how?
28:47Oh, she's just got a candle.
28:49I'll be right there.
28:53I knew I had one in the boot.
28:55Phone saw.
28:56Looks like it's seen better days.
28:57Oh.
28:58When I tell you the things this has sawn through.
29:00I'd rather not know, thank you.
29:02Okay.
29:02It's really rather lovely with no one around.
29:06Yes.
29:07I must come and carry out the legal activity every year.
29:12Right.
29:12On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me a night in police custody.
29:22Well, leave money for the tree is only a little bit illegal.
29:28It looks quite hard.
29:29It's like Christmas.
29:31It's something you have to get through.
29:33Thank goodness it's the one time of the year where it's socially acceptable to start drinking at breakfast.
29:45Oh, there.
29:46It's at least a hundredth of an inch.
29:49Right.
29:49There we go.
29:55Jimmy.
29:57That belongs to the Three Kings.
29:59I was just showing your mum.
30:01Bobby, anything's mum said to give you this?
30:04Right.
30:05Thanks, Jimmy.
30:06They're all poorly, Dad.
30:09Rosie, you're in the Three Kings.
30:11You'll need a crowd.
30:20Sorry, Mrs. Pumphrey.
30:22Helen's not well.
30:22I've got my hands full.
30:24I heard from Mrs. Argyle that you were doing the nativity this year.
30:28Aye.
30:29But I'm going to have to cancel it.
30:31The Ainsley kids are all down with the bug.
30:33I've lost an angel, two kings and a shepherd already.
30:38Do you mean Rosie would be so disappointed?
30:40Do the show here.
30:43Children will be happy as long as their families see it.
30:46That's a good idea.
30:49Thank you, Mrs. Pumphrey.
30:51It'll be more than good because you're a wonderful father.
30:54I only hope Tricky will follow your lead when it comes to his turn.
30:59Now, this won't sting too much.
31:06I don't want him being in a sulk with me over Christmas.
31:09He can be a terrible sulk.
31:13Actually, Mrs. Pumphrey, I don't think it's a good idea.
31:16I don't want to give Tricky the injections.
31:17The side effects that can be drastic, and not just physically.
31:30It could change his personality completely.
31:33At his age, there's probably nothing that will make a difference.
31:37So surely it's better to enjoy the time he's got.
31:39I'm sorry.
31:42I know how much you were hoping.
31:53Not at all.
31:54You've been entirely professional.
31:58And you said what you believe to be true.
32:01I can't ask for more.
32:08Good man.
32:09Almost there.
32:11Almost.
32:14Oh, don't you dare.
32:16And what happened?
32:17It's stuck.
32:19God, it won't bloody move.
32:28We'll just have to explain to Maggie.
32:32I don't even know why I got involved.
32:35I don't want to go to the bloody pub tonight.
32:38Come on.
32:38I knew something was wrong.
32:40What?
32:41I'm fine.
32:43Of course you are.
32:44It's Christmas.
32:46Everyone's happy at Christmas, except all of those who aren't.
32:48I haven't had a happy Christmas since the year we celebrated in November.
32:54Why November?
32:56We didn't think Mother would see December.
33:02Charlotte.
33:03I'm very good at not showing it.
33:05I don't suppose I'm the only one.
33:06I don't suppose I'm the only one.
33:07I don't suppose I'm the only one.
33:09What is it?
33:09This is supposed to be the happiest Christmas ever.
33:18So we're meant to just forget that Arthur never came home from a Japanese prisoner of war camp or the men we lost.
33:27We're meant to just forget the things I saw.
33:30We won't go tonight.
33:31Not if you don't want to.
33:32It's not just about tonight.
33:34I know.
33:35I know so well.
33:36But it'll be over in a few days and then we don't have to think about it for another year.
33:40But these are things I think about all the time.
33:43I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stop.
34:10Mr. Farnham.
34:11I brought her in to keep warm.
34:15She's been vomiting and all.
34:17She can't seem to stand up.
34:22She's shivering.
34:26Laboured breathing.
34:28This is toxicosis.
34:30You said the drench would get rid.
34:33It should have done, yes.
34:34It's possible she may have eaten more than we thought.
34:36I'll have to do the ruminotomy after all.
34:38You said with her being so old.
34:40We may still be in time.
34:42We'll know as soon as we've seen the content.
34:43I have to get some things from the car.
34:46She'll be fine.
34:48Oh, Nilda.
34:49Come here.
35:05Come on.
35:08Leave it.
35:09Come on.
35:10Let's go.
35:40I'm so sorry.
35:52It seems Hilda has eaten more than I thought.
35:57A great deal more.
36:00Well, never.
36:01I saw the wreath myself.
36:03The offcuts.
36:05She's been into the sack.
36:06Who knows how much she got through before you caught up with her.
36:13There's no point going ahead with the surgery.
36:17What are you on about?
36:19In those quantities, the laurel will be absorbed into the blood by now.
36:26I'm afraid it's too late.
36:31What will you do?
36:32There's no sense in putting her through any more suffering than necessary.
36:36And I'm afraid she is suffering.
36:39She can't stand up.
36:41She has tremors.
36:41She must be in considerable pain.
36:45You can help her, though, Miss Savannah.
36:47You can help her get better.
36:51Please believe me, if there was anything I could do for her, I would.
37:00The kindest thing now is to let her go.
37:03Oh, you don't need to dash off.
37:23Could I get you some tea?
37:25Dad, can I have a sword like the shepherds?
37:27Oh, Jimmy, I'm just talking right now.
37:29Can we go to the square soon?
37:31A change of plan?
37:32I was thinking we might do the show here instead.
37:35Just us!
37:36That's even better.
37:37Then all the animals can be in it.
37:40Hello, Mrs. Pumphrey.
37:42Hello.
37:42I'm an angel from Hepton.
37:46Where all angels come from.
37:50Did I hear you were in charge one year?
37:52It's 1936.
37:55Legendary.
37:56All over in ten minutes.
37:57Record time.
37:59I'm sorry to ask, but I need to run around all the other parents and...
38:03Oh, you'd be doing me a huge favour.
38:05I couldn't.
38:06Not this time.
38:07It's a family occasion.
38:08I'm Tricky's uncle.
38:10That means these are his cousins.
38:12Dad, can we get ready now?
38:18Look at your hair.
38:20You can't go on stage with your hair looking like that.
38:25Rosie, hello, darling.
38:27Oh, look, you're going to trip over your dress.
38:30Come on, let's get you sorted out.
38:33Thank you, Mrs. Pumphrey.
38:34You know how it is.
38:35Yes, the show must go on.
38:53It'll not hurt her, will it?
38:55She won't feel a thing.
38:58It'll only take a few moments once I give her the dose.
39:00You've been a good girl.
39:08You've been the very best girl.
39:20I'll admit it, Hilda.
39:23You always got the better of me.
39:24Some lovers like the summertime when they can stroll about.
39:41Spooning in the meadow may seem fine without a doubt.
39:47But give to me the wintertime for the girl that I made mine was captured when the snow lay on the ground.
40:01I traced her little footmarks in the snow.
40:08I traced her little footmarks in the snow.
40:15I traced her little footmarks in the snow.
40:34You know why we have Christmas trees?
40:39you know why we have Christmas trees don't you something to do with Prince Albert yes but
41:07before him long before when the Druids are walking the hills around here I'm a bit behind on my Druid history
41:13to be honest it's because the pine and the fir are evergreen so a reminder that even the longest
41:23hardest winter will end and spring will come

50:45I'm so glad you came.
50:46I'm glad you asked.
50:47I wasn't thinking yesterday.
50:48I meant to say I missed you.
50:49I missed you.
50:50I missed you rather a lot.
50:5619, yes!
50:57Do you remember what you told me?
50:58No.
50:59I missed you rather a lot.
51:0019, yes!
51:01Do you remember what you told me?
51:02No.
51:03It was a parasite.
51:04Oh, God.
51:05Suffocates the life out of other plants.
51:06Oh, I didn't, did I?
51:07Oh, I didn't, did I?

51:13The problem is...
51:14I don't think you can have.
51:15I meant to say I missed you.
51:16You missed me rather a lot.
51:1919, yes!
51:20Do you remember what you told me?
51:25No.
51:26It was a parasite.
51:27Oh, God.
51:28Suffocates the life out of other plants.
51:30Oh, I didn't, did I?

51:38Bull to win, Mrs. H.
51:39The problem is, you never know when to stop talking.
51:56Yeah!
52:00Danny, she's talking about Danny!
52:09That's it!
52:19Where's the bar?
52:23Excuse me, I'm coming through.
52:27Team Skeldale are the winners!
52:31Congratulations, you get the winning prize!
52:39Is he odd? Really? I'm going to call him Rudolph!
52:44No, don't give him a name.
52:46Hi Rudolph, I'll look after you from now on.
52:49Maggie, he's still breathing.
52:52Best way of keeping it fresh.
52:56Come on, through here!
52:59Everybody in!
53:00You've probably noticed this fine tree here.
53:09As we know, because of the blackout,
53:13many of us haven't bothered with Christmas lights for a while.
53:17But all of that...
53:21that's all over.
53:24And it's come at a price.
53:30I'm sure you'll all join me in raising your glasses to those we lost.
53:35Let's hope their sacrifice wasn't in vain.
53:38Let's hope that it means the world doesn't go down this dark road again.
53:43And let's hope the year ahead brings us all the things we truly need.
53:47Good tidings, comfort, and joy.
53:52Yeah, yeah.
53:54Yeah, yeah.
