00:00We've walked a long way, Julia, across fields, over hedges.
00:11The way you leapt that last hedge, by the way, I thought was very impressive.
00:16First to arrive at the barn, Gruffalo creator Julia Donaldson.
00:21It's the 13th Christmas her books have been turned into animations,
00:25and Rob Brydon has been a key voice in every one.
00:29Look at this.
00:30Look at this.
00:31Hello.
00:31Hello and welcome.
00:33Merry Christmas.
00:33Merry Christmas.
00:36We've walked a long way.
00:37Have you?
00:37Oh, yeah.
00:39Do you know what? It's such an honour to have you both here.
00:41We are huge fans of your books, and me having two children, we read all of them.
00:46Thanks so much.
00:48Now, this looks well-loved, shall we say.
00:51It was my granny's, and so this was what my sister Mary and I played with
00:58when we were little girls.
01:00Sometimes some of the farm animals would escape through a gap in the fields,
01:04and I think we had some zoo animals too, so sometimes we would play exciting adventures
01:09where one of the farm animals joined the zoo, or one of the zoo animals invaded the farm.
01:16Do you think that this helped encourage you to write those fantastic books?
01:19Yeah, I think it probably was at the root of some of my books.
01:23Books like what the Lady Bird had, which has set on a farm,
01:26and now this Christmas is the Scarecrow's wedding animation,
01:31which Rob has a real star role, and that all takes place on a farm.
01:35Now, I play Reginald Rake, the rather caddish Scarecrow that comes in.
01:42Total cad.
01:43Well, all right, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.
01:46He's an absolute cad who comes in and threatens the happiness of Betty and Harry.
01:52Mwah!
01:53The finest marshmallows, and make no mistake,
01:57no-one can toast them like Reginald Rake.
02:00I mean, the first one was the Gruffula, and, yeah, it has become a part of the Christmas tradition.
02:08Yeah, I've been in all of them.
02:09Rob's so loyal, you know, because even if he's just, what's the smallest role?
02:13Well, the cat in Room on the Broom.
02:16All I did was go, meow, and yet I still imbue it with the professionalism
02:22and the discipline that I bring to all my roles.
02:25Rob, what do you love about Julia's characters?
02:28There's a clarity to them.
02:30They connect with you straight away.
02:33The pictures, of course, are Axel's pictures.
02:34Oh, wow, yes, of course.
02:35Well, Axel Scheffler, who's done loads of Julia's illustrations,
02:40has such a distinctive style that pulls you into the story beautifully.
02:45But it all comes down to the imagination, and that sort of ties into this, really,
02:50you know, having a little farm and your zoo animals and things like that.
02:53How vibrant were the colours when you first received it when you were a child?
02:56The roof was this kind of maroon-y colour.
02:59It wasn't, like, scarlet or anything.
03:01I've had it on display, and I did get the roof quite crudely.
03:05Oh, I thought you just ripped that off.
03:06It does come off.
03:08Well, the door handles come off here.
03:10It all needs some paint.
03:13Now, Julia, if we can restore this for you, what's the plan for it?
03:16Well, I live quite near a children's hospice called Chestnut Tree House.
03:21I've quite often visited and done little acting out the stories with the children,
03:25and especially with the brothers and sisters of some of the old children.
03:29It's really nice for them to have something to play with.
03:32So I'd like to donate the restored farmhouse,
03:35and especially if there were some extra animals and fences as well.
03:39I think we can manage that.
03:40Well, you know what would be nice?
03:41You could have a little gruffalo, a snail, a whale, you could have a highway rat.
03:45It might be a bit difficult there to make them on the right scale, I suppose.
03:50There's nothing that these people, not him, but there's nothing these people can't do.
03:56It's been absolutely wonderful to meet you.
03:59Thanks very much. Bye-bye.
04:01Bye-bye.
04:02Right, back out into the cold.
04:06Aren't they lovely?
04:08And this is absolutely charming.
04:10But it's looking rather tired, isn't it?
04:12These doorknobs, probably not so safe for children to be playing with,
04:16so I might work out some way of opening up the doors.
04:18And maybe some shutters on the window there.
04:20I think I'm going to do a little bit of tidying up and retouching.
04:24Perfect.
04:27The barn's next visitor has already arrived,
04:31taking a much-needed break from his delivery duties.
04:35Wow, look at that.
04:36Reindeer at Christmas.
04:38It is.
04:38Wow.
04:39It's very realistic.
04:41There's a fire service badge on the back here.
04:44What is a reindeer doing with a fire service badge?
04:46I don't know.
04:47Well, I guess we'll find out.
04:50Bringing answers and a second helping of good cheer to the barn...
04:54Hello.
04:55Hello.
04:56...firefighters Gerry Ascombe and Darren Weston from Leicestershire.
05:00Hi, welcome, and Merry Christmas.
05:02Merry Christmas to you too.
05:04Hello.
05:04Hi.
05:05Please explain.
05:06So, this is Rudolph.
05:08Of course.
05:09Yeah, yeah.
05:10Rudolph belongs to Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service,
05:12and we use him every Christmas to raise money for local children's charities.
05:17We'll walk round with Rudolph, who's pulling Santa on a sleigh,
05:20supported by a fire engine or two, typically.
05:23And as we walk down the streets, the residents come out and give us a loose change and donations.
05:27Where does the money go that you raise?
05:29So, every year we raise about £10,000 for local children's charities, typically.
05:34£10,000?
05:35£10,000, yeah.
05:36Wow.
05:37Well done.
05:37That's incredible.
05:38Where did this all start?
05:39So, it started in 1949.
05:42They set up the Rudolph Fund, and that reindeer ran right up until 1978,
05:47when it started falling to pieces, and we got this one.
05:50And the then committee approached this firm that did stuff for film sets,
05:55and said, could you build us an animated reindeer to replace the one we've got?
05:59And they did.
06:00So, he moves?
06:01He moves, yeah.
06:01He doesn't walk, but he actually...
06:03No way!
06:04He nods his head, does this, blinks his eyes.
06:07People were just amazed, because back in the 70s, that was pretty spectacular.
06:10Now, it's a big part of the Christmas culture in Leicester, really.
06:14But the real problem we've got is Rudolph's looking really tired and old now.
06:17His mouth is supposed to chew, and a lot of them actions aren't working.
06:22His nose lights up as well, but it doesn't.
06:25Oh, really?
06:25Of course, Rudolph's got a red nose.
06:27There's a ball in there, yeah.
06:28So, we need to do some major surgery.
06:31Yeah, but also, his fur's quite matted and dull-looking.
06:34The fur on his ears is different to the fur on his head.
06:37We've got the leatherwork round his neck.
06:39That would have been bright red and really shiny at one point.
06:41Ah, right, that's interesting.
06:43God, there is quite a list.
06:44There's quite a lot to do.
06:45I know, I know.
06:46It would be devastating to think it'd failed on your watch.
06:48It would, yeah, it would.
06:49I think that would be my biggest fear, is that he falls into such bad disrepair
06:53that he's no longer usable, and then, one, we lose the tradition.
06:56But, more importantly, all those children that benefited
06:58don't get that money coming into their charges.
07:00We can't let that happen.
07:01Not on your watch.
07:02Not on mine, quite literally.
07:03Well, we'll do the best we can.
07:04Thanks for taking him on.
07:05Yeah, see you soon.
07:08He looks like he's going to be trouble.
07:10I can see it in his eye.
07:11Look, this is going to be a job.
07:13I'm going to go and get some help.
07:14David, Brenton.
07:16Oh, here they are.
07:17Perfect.
07:17Wow.
07:17Can you give us a hand?
07:18Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Brenton, can you steer?
07:20Yeah, I'll try.
07:21Aim for over there somewhere.
07:22OK, brilliant.
07:23Here we go.
07:24I feel like Rudolph's going to go wherever he wants.
07:26I think so.
07:27Will is setting to work on Julia Donaldson's farmhouse, and the experts have a clear brief
07:38for the tiny characters who go with it.
07:41But with Rudolph, there are lots of unknowns.
07:45I'm kind of intrigued as to what we're going to find inside here.
07:48What do you think, Berth?
07:49I reckon it's full of mechanical wiggly bits.
07:51Oh, there we go.
07:54Oh, this is...
07:55That's actually illegal, isn't it?
07:57What does that do, though?
07:58Hang on.
07:58What, this one back and forwards?
08:00Oh, that turns it here.
08:01Am I moving?
08:02Oh, hey, look, I'm moving his head.
08:03That turns his head.
08:04There's some wires cut in here, so that's not a good sign.
08:08A lot of mechanical bits are just worn out.
08:11Let's see if I can get into the head.
08:13Good luck.
08:16Yeah, I don't need you moving around.
08:19It's all very funny.
08:21I've got a feeling I wouldn't be a very good apprentice for you, Steve.
08:24You drive me mad.
08:26Yeah, I know.
08:26Yes, I know.
08:28Well, there's a lot of mechanisms in here as well.
08:31There is a huge amount to get done, but I'm confident between us, we can all pull together.
08:35Okay.
08:36We'll get it ready for Christmas.
08:37Yeah?
08:38Absolutely.
08:38Brilliant.
08:38All right, let me just see if I can get to these bolts, then.
08:41There we go.
08:44That's it.
08:45Have you got it, Steve?
08:46Yes, I have.
08:50Will has made new doorknobs for the toy farmhouse.
08:54Oh, look at that.
08:55It looks like a little toadstool.
08:57And he's been mulling over some replacement shutters.
09:00I've got a couple of different designs I could go for.
09:03One would be a kind of modern, staggered, slattered shutter.
09:09But really, I mean, this is like a simple farmhouse for like a child.
09:12It's not overcomplicated.
09:14I'm quite sure I've seen some farmhouses, some really old ones, with this kind of design here.
09:19And I think that's kind of what I'm going to go for.
09:20I just hope that I've got enough space in that very small window frame to make this look absolutely spot on.
09:26Design ideas are also key to making 3D versions of the characters who populate the farm.
09:38I'm making a whale, and rather than making it out of silver, which is what I would normally do,
09:45I'm going to try some polymer clay.
09:48I'm challenging myself using a different material.
09:51Having looked at these lovely children's books,
09:54I can't wait till my grandson is old enough for me to be able to read these stories to him.
09:59Arriving at the barn with memories of adventures in a winter wonderland,
10:11Ian and Kate McKenzie and daughter April from Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland.
10:17Hello.
10:17Hi there.
10:18Hello, folks.
10:19Welcome.
10:19Oh, look at this.
10:21Very nice.
10:22Wow.
10:24Oh.
10:25This is incredible.
10:26It is.
10:27I've had it 60 years.
10:29But it was 40 years old when I got it, so the sleigh's almost 100 years old.
10:34Wow.
10:35It's called a flexible flower.
10:37This particular one was made in 1928, and they only made this version for one year,
10:42so it's quite a rare one.
10:43Where did you get it then?
10:451963.
10:46I was 9, 10.
10:48It was a gift from my brother, who got it from a family who no longer had a use for it.
10:54I was the envy of all the friends and kids in the street.
10:57I bet.
10:58Did you use it a lot then, that year when you were 9, 10 years old?
11:01Oh, that was the year of the big freeze.
11:04It snowed from just before Christmas right through January, February.
11:09Three months of snow?
11:10Three months.
11:11And the drifts were like six feet.
11:13Wow.
11:14I just spent every day on the sledge.
11:16You must have some great memories of those times.
11:18Oh, yeah.
11:19The actual main damage at the front, there was myself and two friends on it, and there was
11:25a big tuft of snow, which I thought was just a bit of sage grass covered in snow, and it
11:30turned out it was a large boulder.
11:31Oh, no.
11:33Oh, no.
11:34And the front of the sledge, this has been straightened out, but that was, as you can
11:38see, it was...
11:38This is all bent here, yeah.
11:39We've had lots of accidents.
11:41This one here, I was a great repair, as you can see.
11:45A friend, he was holding this, and it snapped.
11:48Is that your handiwork?
11:48That's my handiwork.
11:49Is it?
11:50You're all right.
11:50It's very good.
11:51Done a long time ago.
11:52Kate, what's your earliest memory of the sledge?
11:54We had been going out together for a while, and he said, would you like to have a go on
11:59a sledge?
11:59And I says, oh, yeah.
12:01And then there was a hill that was nearly vertical.
12:03Oh, no.
12:04I was so frightened.
12:05And this is whilst you were still getting to know each other?
12:07Yes.
12:08I love that.
12:09How long have you both been together for?
12:1050 years.
12:11How many children do you have?
12:13Nine.
12:14They all had their turn on it.
12:16I remember my second child was about three years of age.
12:19She had a little Santa suit on, and pulling around the street, all the local kids chasing
12:24after us there, it could be Santa.
12:26Aw.
12:27One of my earliest memories would probably be going to school on it, and then more recent,
12:33my own children being on it.
12:34They love it, absolutely love it, and getting pulled along by their granda.
12:38And 14 grandchildren, did it?
12:4014 grandchildren.
12:42They all have to have this.
12:43So when did you stop using it then, yourself?
12:45Oh, 20 years ago.
12:46I was lying down on my belly.
12:48Ah!
12:49Ah!
12:49I had a great time, my time.
12:51Aw.
12:52If you could have anything you want, what would this look like?
12:56The way it was the day I got it.
12:58All this paint, paint it over, you know, make it good looking again.
13:03I can understand I'll never be the way it was, but it'd be nice to see it gleaming again
13:09and looking.
13:10How you remember.
13:11Yeah.
13:11As a nine-year-old kid.
13:14Yeah.
13:15We are going to have so much fun working on this.
13:17Thank you very much.
13:19We'll see you soon.
13:19Bye-bye.
13:20Bye-bye.
13:24I absolutely love this.
13:26It's amazing, isn't it?
13:27Yeah.
13:27He does want it looking a bit smarter than it currently does.
13:30Let me take this outside.
13:31I'll get it stripped down and bring the wood back into you.
13:34Lovely.
13:34Determined to get Rudolph back to full fitness, the barn team has set to work with Gustrel.
13:53While Dom strengthens the battered chassis that supports him, David's mechanical expertise
14:00is focused on how best to fix his inner workings.
14:05I'm now having a look at Rudolph's head and neck mechanism.
14:09This is really what gives him his character.
14:12You've got an electric motor and this drives a belt onto a big pulley.
14:18The pulley then drives a shaft which has got cam wheels on.
14:22So the cams, they're basically like little hills and valleys on a disc.
14:27And then you've got this lever.
14:30So as you get a hill comes along, that moves away.
14:32And then when the valley comes along, it moves back again.
14:35And then this particular one, this actually moves his head up and down.
14:40These cams are made out of a type of plastic and it looks like they're warped, basically.
14:47Where they run on this little lever, they could slip down the side
14:52and then that lever could then get jammed.
14:55That would then cause the motor to stall.
14:58So I think basically what I've got to do, take it all to pieces
15:02and then get all of that nice and sturdy, straightened out
15:06so that we can guarantee that he's going to run for many, many years to come.
15:11I'm making a new bridle with reins for Rudolph
15:23and chosen this really bright red colour
15:27so that once he's all dressed up, it's really going to stand out.
15:32So I've got a fair amount of sewing to do here
15:34but once the bridle and the reins are completed,
15:36I can turn my attention to the red collar here that needs some work as well.
15:41Next at the barn, acting royalty.
15:52Academy Award winner, Dame Helen Mow.
15:56She has a little-known story of resilience from wartime Germany
16:01to put centre stage.
16:03Oh, my goodness.
16:08This is beautiful.
16:09Oh, my God, it's exactly the same as it is on the TV.
16:14What an iconic place to find myself.
16:17Welcome to the bar.
16:19It's sort of a lot of people's dream to be here
16:21so thank you so much for having me.
16:23How lucky are we?
16:24I know, I know.
16:26But how can we help?
16:27Well, I've got a big challenge for you.
16:29What is it?
16:29Well, I work with a residential home called Denville Hall
16:34that specialises in people from the performing arts.
16:37So musicians, actors, directors, producers, people in front of the camera,
16:45people behind the camera.
16:46Brilliant.
16:47So you can imagine the stories that get told
16:49and that is what I bring to you today is one of those incredible stories.
16:54So one of the supporters of Denville Hall was a man called Martin Landau
16:58and he was a theatre producer.
17:00He worked in his whole life in the theatre.
17:02But Martin had the most incredible story.
17:05Martin was on a kindertransport at the age of 14.
17:09Children were put on these trains by their parents to escape the Nazis
17:13and they came to England.
17:15And obviously, little kid, you can't carry much with you.
17:19No.
17:19But the one thing he wanted to bring with him was his cello.
17:23He brought it with him.
17:23So he brought...
17:24It must have been as big as he was.
17:26Can you imagine this kid on this train with a little bag and this huge cello?
17:31It says how much it means to him, doesn't it?
17:32Absolutely.
17:33There's a movie in there, I think.
17:35I think, you know, the image of that young boy
17:38and the moment of having to say goodbye to his parents.
17:42At that point, not knowing that he would never see them again,
17:45but we know that he would never see them again.
17:47But before he got on the train,
17:49the Nazis who were, you know, bullying everyone getting on the trains
17:53broke the cello cruelly, deliberately, monstrously just broken.
17:59Nonetheless, he held on to his cello and loved it
18:02and he had it for the rest of his life.
18:04And when Martin died, he left it to Denville Hall
18:08and that is what I would love you to restore.
18:12So what's the plan, if we're able to get it repaired?
18:14Well, this beautiful instrument hasn't sung for 80 years.
18:18Wow.
18:19So we're really hoping that this Christmas it will be heard again.
18:22It will be singing to the residents of Denville Hall.
18:26There's no-one that doesn't enjoy a good old sing-song
18:29or just quietly sitting in the corner listening to some beautiful music.
18:33So where is it?
18:34Well, it was a little too big for me to carry.
18:37So if it's OK, I'll have it delivered to you.
18:39Would that be OK?
18:40That sounds perfect.
18:41Thank you so much.
18:43We're all incredibly excited.
18:45You're welcome.
18:46Thank you, everyone.
18:47Bye.
18:48Bye.
18:51Oh, it's snowing.
18:52No.
18:57Oh.
18:58Will is making quick work of reviving the wooden slats on the old sledge.
19:10But Dom is faced with a trickier task as he starts on the metalwork.
19:15It's not good news, unfortunately.
19:17These two bars that run to the front of the rails,
19:20they are both completely different shapes.
19:23And they're supposed to be the same.
19:24Anyway, I've clamped the two runners together.
19:28And even these are completely different shapes.
19:30The ends are way off.
19:32I think all these years of Ian being such a daredevil
19:35have taken their toll on this sledge.
19:38It's bent and twisted things.
19:40I need to straighten everything out and get it back where it should be
19:43because I've got lots of holes which need to line up.
19:45And at the moment, this one lines up quite nicely.
19:50But this side is just so far off.
19:55So I've got some bending to do.
19:57So I'm using the rail that I know is good and is the right shape
20:00to draw around on the bench as a reference
20:04as I try and bend the other rail to match that line.
20:10So I need to clamp it in the vice, heat it up
20:12and try and bend this front section back round
20:16until it lines up with that white line.
20:19It's looking pretty good.
20:41Once I've got all these pieces straightened up,
20:43I can start thinking about stripping this paint.
20:49Work on Rudolph is also galloping along.
20:56While David coaxes his warped plastic cams back to perfect flatness,
21:01Amanda is starting an upgrade to his tatty old ears.
21:06So I've got two types of fur that I'm working with here.
21:09This piece of fur has come off of Rudolph,
21:12but I've also got this lovely new fur,
21:14which is also going to be a part of his ears.
21:16It's all got to blend through and look seamless
21:19like he has always had it.
21:21So the first thing I'm going to do is to decide which piece to use.
21:26This one is original,
21:27so there's a couple of little holes and things here,
21:29so I don't really want to go for those.
21:32I think it's going to come from over here.
21:35So I'm going to start drawing my template onto the back.
21:38I'm working on this part of the mechanism
21:45that does the chewing motion of the bottom jaw like that.
21:50Something like that anyway.
21:52There's a little cam on this shaft
21:55which runs onto a micro switch
21:58and just turns it off and on.
22:00And that's connected to a light
22:02and that makes Rudolph's nose glow red in the dark.
22:07So this hasn't been working.
22:09Not only were the wires not connected to the motor,
22:12but also this shaft was bent
22:14so that when this turned round,
22:17the jaw went up too high and would get locked.
22:20So what I've done is I've straightened that up.
22:23Right, I'm just going to pop the jaw on,
22:26see if it all works.
22:28I think that's a sort of chewy motion.
22:36I'm just going to put on the new micro switch
22:40and make sure that the light's going to work.
22:44When I was in the fire service,
22:46we would have the children's Christmas party
22:49and Father Christmas would come along,
22:52but not on a sleigh.
22:54He would come on an old vintage fire engine.
22:59Right, that's connected.
23:01I'm going to pop these connectors on
23:03and it should all work.
23:13That's working so well.
23:15That's brilliant.
23:18Will has turned his attention
23:20to the handrails of the old sledge.
23:23One is made out of pine
23:26and one's made out of ash.
23:27Originally, this would have all been ash.
23:29He's done a pretty good job at replacing it,
23:31but it kind of sticks out like a sore thumb.
23:34Now, I thought it would be really nice
23:35to replace that with ash
23:36because he really wants this to look
23:38much like it did when he first got it as a child.
23:41I've sourced a new piece of ash here.
23:43It's quite angular because it's just been cut.
23:46The original has this slightly rounded-off profile
23:49on the top
23:49and I think that kind of makes it a lot better
23:51to hold on to.
23:52I'm going to use my hand plane
23:53to try to recreate this lovely curved edge
23:56onto that new section there.
23:58I've got all of the metawork for the sledge
24:09stripped down,
24:11straightened,
24:12primed
24:12and ready for its first coat
24:14of this beautiful,
24:16shiny red
24:17and I've managed to find
24:18the original colour,
24:20the very first layer of paint
24:21on this metawork
24:22which I've matched.
24:23It's looking good.
24:24Renovation of Julia Donaldson's toy farmhouse
24:30has passed to Kirsten.
24:33I'm now just starting to fill
24:35any areas of loss.
24:38I'm using a wood filler here.
24:40In a way,
24:41the way that this has been made,
24:42it's quite rustic.
24:44That's quite helpful
24:45because some of the areas
24:47that have been damaged
24:48and broken
24:49I can fill
24:50and I can leave the filler
24:52with quite a rough finish.
25:02It's taken many talents
25:04rather than hay and carrots
25:05to revive Rudolf
25:07but now he's almost ready
25:09for festive duties.
25:11He's a bit of a lump.
25:12He is a bit of a lump.
25:14Oh, he's a bit of a lump.
25:16Oh, three guys.
25:18Look at them.
25:20Thanks for the help.
25:22He's made it through the blizzard.
25:23He has.
25:24And.
25:25Oh.
25:26Ta-da.
25:28That's his new neck piece.
25:29Oh, fantastic.
25:30And.
25:34Brilliant.
25:35Is that how they work all?
25:35Very, very good.
25:36You've been having
25:37too much fun in the barn,
25:38haven't you?
25:38I know, I know.
25:40How are you guys getting on?
25:41Actually, quite well.
25:42So we can leave you to it
25:43to put it together.
25:44It sounds like it.
25:45That's all yours then.
25:46Thank you very much.
25:47Bye.
25:49OK, shall we try
25:50and get him back on his face?
25:50Yeah, absolutely.
25:53After 46 years
25:55of fundraising
25:56and bringing Christmas magic
25:57to Leicestershire,
25:59Rudolf's joints
26:00were aching and immobile.
26:02His fur matted
26:03and his nose
26:04not even remotely shiny
26:06or red.
26:08He's huge, isn't he?
26:09Absolutely.
26:10Several generations
26:12from the county
26:12are relying on
26:13the barn team
26:14to recreate the magic
26:16and get Rudolf
26:18slaying again
26:19for good causes.
26:20Goodness me,
26:21there's loads of them.
26:23Hello.
26:24Darren, hi.
26:24You OK?
26:25Jerry, hi.
26:27Who have you got
26:27with us today?
26:28So these are some
26:29of the children
26:30that come from
26:32Wishes for Kids.
26:33These are the benefits
26:34from some of the charities
26:35that we link up with
26:35and we've brought them down
26:37to see Rudolf today.
26:38Are you all excited
26:39to see what we've been able
26:41to do?
26:41Really excited.
26:43Yeah.
26:43We're really excited.
26:45More excited.
26:46Yeah.
26:47So I saw him
26:47when he was brand new
26:48and if you've been able
26:50to get him anywhere close
26:51to what he looked like then,
26:52I think that would be fantastic.
26:54Which I will say
26:55is quite a big ask.
26:56I'm so hopeful
26:57that we can get him back
26:58and look in his best.
26:59OK, everyone,
27:00are you ready
27:01to see Rudolf?
27:02We're ready.
27:03We're ready.
27:03We're really ready.
27:04Let's do it.
27:04Yes.
27:05Yes.
27:07Oh, that's good.
27:23Oh, that's amazing.
27:24Yeah, that's good.
27:25Look at that.
27:26That's taking me
27:27right back to 1979.
27:29I had no idea
27:30it was going to look
27:30so realistic again.
27:33The fur looks great,
27:34doesn't it?
27:35Please feel free.
27:36Come in and have a look.
27:36Can we have a...
27:37Yeah, come round this side.
27:38Let's have a look.
27:39Oh, they've done
27:39on the harness as well.
27:40Yeah, I've never seen
27:41them bells shine like that.
27:43So we've repaired
27:44the ears as well.
27:45New ears.
27:46Yes.
27:47Look at those.
27:47Look at the ears.
27:48Really appreciate it.
27:48It looks great.
27:50Amazing job.
27:51Amazing.
27:52This really has been
27:53a huge team effort.
27:55Well, do you know what?
27:56In the fire service,
27:57we're really used to
27:57working as a team.
27:58So to see that teamwork
27:59replicated with the care
28:01that he's put into Rudolf
28:02is great.
28:03And that will really resonate
28:03through the service, I think.
28:05Well, you haven't seen
28:05everything yet.
28:06I want to see the red nose.
28:08Shall we dim the lights
28:09so you can have a proper look?
28:10Oh, yes.
28:11Whoa.
28:20That's so cool.
28:23Oh, wow.
28:23Oh, yes.
28:26This is just what he used to do.
28:28I mean, it takes your world
28:29to take it all in, doesn't it?
28:30Yeah.
28:31We just want to say thank you.
28:32It means a huge amount to us.
28:33Well, it's yours to take away.
28:35Are we OK to drive it?
28:36Absolutely.
28:36Let's give it a go.
28:39We should get the doors.
28:40Yeah.
28:40OK.
28:40Well, that's a first for us,
29:03isn't it?
29:04Yeah.
29:05I'm not sure the next time
29:07we're going to fix Rudolph.
29:08No, no.
29:09Hold on.
29:10Who knows what's coming next?
29:21Rudolph's back in action,
29:22but the Christmas creations
29:24for Julia are still
29:25a work in progress.
29:27Well, I'm carving the Gruffalo,
29:28which is one of the most
29:29well-known characters
29:30from Julia's books.
29:32I think he looks quite charming.
29:38And the vandalised cello,
29:40which Dame Helen Mirren
29:41hopes can be played again,
29:43has been delivered.
29:45It's a task for stringed
29:46instrument restorer
29:47Becky Horton.
29:49This is such a gorgeous instrument.
29:51I feel so sad
29:53that it's been brutalised
29:54in this fashion.
29:56It just breaks my heart.
29:58And the fact that Martin
29:59kept it all these years,
30:01it must have been
30:01so special to him
30:03because who keeps a cello
30:04that's in two parts like this?
30:07Already I can hear
30:08the sound post is loose.
30:10There's cracks all over the place.
30:12This is a particularly nasty
30:13one in the ribs.
30:15The most obvious area of damage
30:16is the fact that the neck
30:18is out of the body
30:19of the instrument.
30:19This is never good.
30:21And it's in a real mess.
30:22So I have to work out
30:24a way of putting
30:26everything back where it belongs,
30:27fitting the neck back in
30:28and getting this cello
30:30playable again.
30:31The first thing
30:31I'm going to have to do though
30:32is remove the front
30:34so I can see
30:34what's going on inside.
30:37What I don't want to do
30:38is splinter out
30:39any more of this
30:40very dry old front.
30:44Usually you do not want
30:45to hear cracking noises
30:46but when it's glue
30:47it's a different sort of noise
30:49and that's what I'm after.
30:52I can just feel this seam
30:54starting to give now.
30:56So far so good.
31:03Hailing from Sheffield
31:05Andrew and his wife Emily
31:07with a challenge
31:08for Chris Shaw's
31:09bookbinding skills.
31:11Merry Christmas.
31:13Merry Christmas.
31:14What have you brought?
31:16That looks rather well loved.
31:18Certainly is.
31:19That's well used.
31:21It is.
31:21It's a carol book
31:22that's been used
31:23by our family
31:24for over 40 years now.
31:26Wow.
31:27Yeah.
31:27So this book
31:28was originally my granddad's.
31:30He only lived a street away
31:31from where I grew up as well
31:33so we were very close.
31:36He passed this on for me
31:37when I was really learning
31:38how to play my first organ.
31:42Probably to accompany him singing
31:44but he loved it.
31:46It's full of local Christmas carols
31:50that we play in pubs
31:52in and around the north of Sheffield
31:54all through the Christmas period.
31:57North Sheffield has a 200-year-old tradition
32:00of carols that are unique to the area
32:02being sung by locals in their pubs.
32:06The gatherings are known as sings.
32:09Why are they sung in pubs?
32:10That comes back from the Victorian area
32:13where the carols were sent
32:14to be too extravagant
32:15to be sung in churches
32:17and people still wanted
32:18somewhere to sing
32:19so they brought their songs
32:21and their carols
32:22into the local pubs.
32:23Wow.
32:23That's where it's evolved?
32:25Yes.
32:25Into a real tradition.
32:27It's a feeling of community
32:28and family
32:29and belonging
32:30and I wouldn't be anywhere else
32:32on a Sunday in December.
32:33A lot of the Christmas songs
32:35are probably recognised words
32:38but all the villagers
32:40will have adapted
32:41their own tunes to the songs
32:43and this book
32:44is the book that I've used
32:46for every sing
32:47that I've played for
32:48for 28 years now.
32:50I'm having to run in
32:51from one pub to the next
32:53and it's folded up
32:54in my back pocket
32:55and it's...
32:55You can tell.
32:58It's got knocked off the organ
32:59while I'm playing
33:00and yeah,
33:01it's had a life
33:02of all of its own.
33:03I thought,
33:03this is disintegrating
33:04in our hands
33:05and is there any way
33:08that we can restore it
33:10to stop it getting any worse?
33:12Not to be a museum item
33:13and not to collect dust
33:14to be used this Christmas
33:16and the next 20, 30, 40 years as well.
33:19I'll give it my best shot.
33:21That would be brilliant.
33:21Thank you so much.
33:23Bye-bye.
33:27Well, Chris,
33:28this is fantastic, is it not?
33:30It's amazing.
33:31Let me know when it's ready
33:32and I'll come along
33:33for a sing-along.
33:33That's a date.
33:40Brenton, that's amazing.
33:42You've got two snails there.
33:43Yeah, I'm just working on the tail.
33:45OK.
33:45The tail of the whale.
33:47To scale?
33:48Not quite.
33:48I've got this little tiny snail
33:52and we've got the big one there
33:54so you can see
33:54what it's meant to look like.
33:55I absolutely love it.
33:57You're so clever.
33:59Andrew has really used this book
34:08almost to death.
34:10It's at a point where the front covers
34:12are at a stage where they could totally collapse.
34:16The amazing thing, and hats off to Andrew,
34:19he's kept all the bits.
34:21But it is in a bit of a sorry state.
34:25Pages need to be ironed,
34:27it needs to be flattened,
34:29and I've got to think of a cover for the outside.
34:32But the first thing I need to do
34:34is remove the staples.
34:36They sort of corrode,
34:38and eventually that will eat through the paper.
34:40Now I can dismantle the book
34:43and iron these pages flat.
34:55Fiky.
34:56Do you recognise any of these?
34:58There are a few,
34:59but on the whole,
35:01it's a mystery to me.
35:02Oh, I know Deck the Halls.
35:03How does that go?
35:04Oh, oh.
35:06Deck.
35:06I'm not going to start singing.
35:08They've got such a lovely voice, Will.
35:09Well, it's usually after a few mulled wines,
35:11that's when I really kind of get into the swing of things.
35:13Do you have a favourite carol?
35:15I do, Will.
35:16I don't know what it's called,
35:17but it goes a bit like this,
35:19and feel free to join in if you want.
35:21Now she has access to the interior of the cello,
35:44Becky can begin repairing the many cracks in its body.
35:49I've heated up my bending iron and the water bubbling on the top tells me it's really hot.
35:54I'm going to use it to bend this little bit of wood that I'm going to use as a stud
35:59for this big area of cracking on the rib of the cello.
36:02I'm going to get it really wet and I'm going to steam bend this lovely thin bit of maple.
36:11I am feeling pretty anxious about this because it's so important this doesn't come undone again.
36:17So that's why everything has to be absolutely right.
36:21I'm going to start gluing now.
36:23I'm going to have to throw a whole load of clamps at this crack and this stud
36:34to make sure it all adheres perfectly
36:36because I need to make sure that all of this stud is properly stuck to the rib.
36:43It looks a bit random and haphazard
36:45but I hope I've got just enough pressure to hold that crack shut while it dries.
36:54Hopefully this should all line up.
36:55With the paintwork perfected and the runners rejuvenated,
36:59Dom and Will have joined forces...
37:02I love the steam work.
37:03This is why it's handy having an extra pair of hands.
37:05...to reassemble the old sledge.
37:07I think that's the main sort of chassis part of it, on, and all looking good.
37:14We can tackle the wood now.
37:15Yes!
37:16Screws down the middle.
37:18This is my favourite screwdriver.
37:21How long have you had my screwdriver for?
37:24Weeks!
37:25Have you?
37:25And you haven't even noticed.
37:26Well, I have. I've been blaming Steve.
37:29What have you got that for?
37:30It's just quite nice. It's quite a good one.
37:31It is nice, because it's mine.
37:35OK, middle bit in.
37:37Looking really good.
37:37That adrenaline just steaming down a hill.
37:40I'm feeling it.
37:41Yeah, I'm there, I'm there.
37:43Right, what's left to do?
37:44We've really just got the steering.
37:46The steering. Oh, gosh, I forgot about the steering.
37:48Not yet, not yet. We're not quite there.
37:49And the all-important rope, and then we're done.
37:51It's ready to go back to Ian.
37:55The sledge was given to Ian just before the big freeze of 1963.
38:00But years of downhill adventuring
38:03had left it dangerously dilapidated.
38:07Right, pop that on there.
38:08Let's get it covered up.
38:11Ian and family, including granddaughters Leah and Bethany,
38:15have high hopes of snowy fun for many more years.
38:20Hi, everyone.
38:21Hello.
38:21Hi, folks. Hi, Ian.
38:22Welcome back.
38:24Hello.
38:24Hello.
38:25How have you all been feeling?
38:26You've been excited about today?
38:27I have been very excited.
38:29Looking forward to all of them, actually.
38:31It's been part of my life for so long.
38:33My kids, my grandkids,
38:35and I like to see it going on and on.
38:37I'm hoping that we can take you back
38:38to being that nine-year-old kid again.
38:40Are you ready to take a look?
38:41More than ready.
38:42How about you two?
38:43Are you excited?
38:45OK, here we go.
38:47Ready.
38:47That's the way I was.
39:04After three years.
39:06Oh, brilliant.
39:08I'm over the moon.
39:09Just wish I was a kid again.
39:11Yeah.
39:12This is great.
39:15Better job than I've done.
39:18It's beautiful.
39:19I don't know what I was expecting,
39:20but it's beyond what I expected.
39:22I've never seen it like that.
39:23The writing and all, it's lovely.
39:25The fact that they just didn't do it clearly,
39:28you know, the eraser,
39:31it's brilliant.
39:32I'm so pleased.
39:33It just looks beautiful.
39:34But there's no time like the present.
39:35Shall we take it outside?
39:36Take it out.
39:36Are you getting on, Gus?
39:44You're not getting too jealous, are you, Ian?
39:47You're on the back, Ian.
39:48One, two, three.
39:52It works.
39:53That's really good.
39:56Marvelous.
39:57It looks right at home out here, doesn't it?
39:59Yeah.
40:00Perfect.
40:00It belongs.
40:06I'm making Betty the scarecrow,
40:18and she's coming along really well.
40:20But it's time now I started putting
40:21some little clothes on her.
40:25Reattaching the neck of the cello
40:27is a demanding process.
40:30Becky's drafting in Will
40:31to play more than just second fiddle.
40:35You're going to have the most important job
40:36of operating the clamp.
40:38So I'm going to take it all out,
40:40glue it,
40:41and then you're going to clamp it.
40:42But it might slide around.
40:44All sorts of horrible things can happen.
40:46So if I start being cross with you,
40:47just, sorry.
40:49I'll just take it.
40:49I'll get it.
40:49All right?
40:50If I've got this even half a millimetre out,
40:52the player will feel it,
40:54and it will have a bearing on the sound.
40:56Even a millimetre?
40:57Oh, even half a millimetre.
40:58Even quarter of a millimetre.
40:59Really?
40:59Yeah, yeah.
41:00You grab the clamp and the cork.
41:02Are you ready to do this?
41:03Because this is a one hit only.
41:04We've got one chance to get this perfect.
41:06Okay.
41:07Up for it?
41:07Yeah.
41:08Right.
41:08Okay.
41:08We ready?
41:09We're ready.
41:11Time is absolutely of the essence
41:13because this glue is gelling
41:15all the time I'm using it,
41:17and I don't want to take any chances
41:18of this coming out ever again.
41:21I've never seen you work so quickly.
41:23Oh, you've not seen anything yet.
41:25Okay.
41:26Okay.
41:26All right.
41:27I'm going to...
41:27No, not yet.
41:29I've got to push this in.
41:30Nope.
41:30Nope.
41:31I'll tell you.
41:32Okay, clamp.
41:33Ready?
41:34Yep.
41:34Get that wedge the right way around.
41:39Yep.
41:39Tighten a bit?
41:40Yep.
41:41That's brilliant.
41:41That's a brilliant angle.
41:42There?
41:43Yep.
41:43Bit more, bit more, bit more.
41:44Stop.
41:46Right.
41:47Okay.
41:47We're not done yet.
41:48No?
41:49No.
41:50Right?
41:50No.
41:50I've got to check.
41:51Go on.
41:52Right.
41:52I just need you to move it a little bit.
41:54Unnip it.
41:54Okay.
41:55Okay.
41:58And down again.
41:59Tighten?
42:00Yep.
42:00Tighten.
42:02Okay.
42:03Let me just double check that.
42:05Oh, God.
42:05I'm shaking.
42:06You're doing really well.
42:07Oh!
42:08I'm checking the angle of the neck here.
42:10There's a certain measurement that I'm after, which is 80 mil.
42:12It's slightly higher.
42:15I just don't want to take any chances of this cello having any more problems, because it's
42:19been through enough.
42:21I would like that a bit lower, but I don't think I want to move it.
42:25So, to go lower, would this have to move back out?
42:27No, we can't take it out now.
42:29Can you?
42:30What do you want?
42:38Unnip it and just move it slightly towards me.
42:40Yeah, just slightly.
42:41Yep.
42:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:43There?
42:43Now nip it down.
42:46There?
42:47Yep.
42:48Yep.
42:48Okay.
42:49Tension.
42:53Yes.
42:54Yes, yes, yes, yes.
42:55Yes?
42:55Better?
42:56Yes.
42:56Yes, I'm happy.
42:58You okay?
42:59I don't know.
43:00Well done.
43:04Walk away.
43:06Let's walk away.
43:07Literally.
43:08Literally just walk away.
43:13The pages of the Carol book have been flattened, and Chrissie's next task is a spot of invisible
43:19mending.
43:20This cover is at the point of complete collapse.
43:24I'm going to remount these onto some blue paper, but obviously because of all the years of Andrew
43:31handling it, it's got grubby.
43:33So I've made an initial attempt of grubbing it up, and because it's in pieces, it's a bit like fitting the jigsaw puzzle together.
43:42By remounting this, it's going to stabilise it, and at the same time add strength.
43:48It's going to make it still very flexible.
43:50I'm just lining up the puzzle, just lining up the puzzle, and it fits over very, very nice.
43:56And now I'm going to get it into the press, and then allow it to dry.
44:00Muscle, muscle.
44:09Is this the toy you're making, Steve?
44:10It is.
44:11This is Tiddler.
44:12This is the character out of the book.
44:14I can see that.
44:15I'm making a mechanism that when I put the tail inside, and you move the tail from side to side, it's going to open and shut the mouth.
44:24Lovely.
44:29There we go.
44:30Now it's Christmas.
44:32OK, maybe I've overdone this a little bit.
44:34With the most stressful part of the cello repair behind her, Becky's work is nearly done.
44:46The neck is solid, and the cello's actually sounding really resonant.
44:50I couldn't be happier.
44:51I've never been so nervous in my life with an instrument, because it was important to Martin, and it's going to be played in the retirement home.
45:00I think it's going to be beautiful for them, and I hope they love it as much as I do now,
45:04because I've fallen in love with this instrument.
45:06So all I need to do now is put the last two strings on, and then I get to hear it.
45:13This cello was brutally smashed as its 14-year-old owner, Martin, fled Hitler's Germany, and it had remained unplayable ever since.
45:24OK, let's get it covered.
45:25Yeah.
45:26Now Dame Helen Mirren hopes it can be the centrepiece of Christmas celebrations at the retirement home, to which Martin donated it.
45:42Hello.
45:43Hello.
45:43Hi.
45:44Welcome back.
45:47I presume this is the baby.
45:49It is indeed.
45:50Yes.
45:50Let me introduce you to Becky.
45:52Becky.
45:52Was it a challenge?
45:54It was a challenge, yes.
45:55Yes.
45:56It has tested me.
45:57The love that this instrument carried with it, I hope, communicated to you.
46:02Very much so.
46:02Because it carried the history of family, of love, of dreams.
46:06Definitely.
46:07Definitely.
46:08You can feel it inward.
46:09You can, really.
46:10Yes.
46:10Well, are you ready to take a look?
46:11I am.
46:12I'm so excited.
46:13I can't tell you.
46:14I'm so excited to see it.
46:17Can I peek up under the skirt?
46:19No peeking.
46:19No peeking.
46:22Go on then, Becky.
46:22OK.
46:23Yes.
46:23Are you ready?
46:24I am.
46:24I am.
46:36Hello.
46:38Martin sent his love.
46:41Becky, that's fantastic.
46:44Many, many, many congratulations.
46:48Wondrous.
46:48Absolutely wondrous.
46:50Wow.
46:52I wish I could play.
46:53Would you like to hear it play?
46:55Well, of course I would.
46:56Is that possible?
46:57It is.
46:57We've got a special guest.
46:58Really?
46:59Yes.
47:00Very much so.
47:01We have Raphael Warfish in the barn.
47:04Raphael, would you please come and join us?
47:07Raphael, how very, very nice to meet you.
47:10Great pleasure.
47:10Thank you so much for coming for us.
47:13You be careful with that.
47:15Yeah.
47:45Bravo! Bravo, Becky!
47:59Well done, Becky. Thank you.
48:01How incredible to hear that.
48:03Yes. Thank you so much, Raphael. That was beautiful.
48:06Great pleasure. Becky, thank you.
48:08Bye-bye. Bye. Bye.
48:09Bye. Bye.
48:10Brilliant. Brilliant. Well done.
48:17I'm just so pleased. Yeah.
48:29New covers have made the carol book more durable,
48:33but Chrissie's repairs also need to look harmonious.
48:37The final thing I need to do to the covers
48:39are to just sort of blend in
48:41and just take the eye away from these creases.
48:44So I'm using a watercolour pencil,
48:46and it's a blue sort of turquoise-y.
48:49But coming around here to where Andrew's handled it,
48:52I'm going to have to mix in a bit of green.
48:56Kirsten has painted the exterior of the toy farmhouse,
49:00but for interior decor, she's turning to paper and paste.
49:04The only wallpapering I've done is in my own house,
49:08so that's quite a number of years ago.
49:11But I do think this will transform the inside of the farmhouse.
49:17If I can just get that in there.
49:19There, that's gone on really nicely.
49:22Now, I'm going to carry on putting the paper on the other walls,
49:26and then it's going to be ready to go back to Julia,
49:29and I hope that this will give the children at the hospice
49:33many hours of play.
49:38Julia's toy farm was faded and fragile,
49:42and its animals long since lost.
49:46Now she plans for a new generation of children at the hospice
49:49to be delighted and inspired by the farm,
49:53and a farmyard full of fantastical creatures.
49:57Hi, Julia.
49:59Hello.
49:59Oh, my goodness.
50:01This is the biggest Christmas present ever.
50:05Well, I think it's really lovely
50:07that this is going to go to Chestnut Treehouse.
50:10Yes.
50:11It's such a wonderful place.
50:13We'd like to take a look.
50:14I'd love to take a look, yeah.
50:15Yes.
50:19Oh, so beautiful.
50:26It looks just perfect, because it doesn't look over the top.
50:30It just looks like I remembered.
50:33Animals.
50:34I remember these little sitting-down calves.
50:38Who's outside in the garden?
50:41Oh, gosh.
50:43Oh, look, we've got the guffalo, of course.
50:46Made by Will.
50:47So clever.
50:48Oh, I think that's brilliant,
50:50because you've got two types of toy.
50:53You know, you've got the farm,
50:54but they could have adventures
50:55with all these characters outside their world.
50:59It really has been a team effort, hasn't it?
51:01So, Steve made Tiddler.
51:03Thank you, Steve.
51:04You're very welcome.
51:05Yeah, Tiddler's gorgeous.
51:06I think when you move the tail,
51:07the mouth opens and closes.
51:09Oh, can I have a go?
51:10Oh, that's wonderful.
51:12That's really good.
51:13Hello, Tiddler.
51:15Hello.
51:15Oh, look, he's a baddie.
51:19That's Rob Brydon.
51:20It's Reginald Rape.
51:22Which is made by Kishtons.
51:23He sort of tries to lure Betty away from her true love, Mary.
51:29And they're going to get married, aren't you?
51:31Yes.
51:32Oh, lovely.
51:36I think children would enjoy, you know,
51:37they could act that story out, couldn't they?
51:39Yeah, definitely.
51:40You have brought so much joy and imagination
51:43to so many children's lives,
51:44so it's quite nice for us to give something back to you.
51:46Oh, thank you so much.
51:48And thank you all.
51:50You're so welcome.
51:52Bye.
51:53Bye.
51:56She is lovely, isn't she?
51:58This is the magic of children's farm animals and toys
52:02and things like that.
52:02Imagination.
52:03Yeah, exactly.
52:03You can go anywhere.
52:04Well done, everyone.
52:05Good job.
52:06Chris's skills have got the carol book almost back on song.
52:19So the moment's come of joining the pages to the cover.
52:24I'm using a linen thread and sewing it as opposed to stapling it
52:28because Andrew's going to use this an awful lot
52:30and I want to be able to provide the book
52:33with as much strength and longevity as possible.
52:37So the final knot that seals and joins the pages together
52:42ends my absolutely joyous repair of the joy of Christmas.
52:51This carol book was given to Andrew by his grandfather,
52:55but decades of use at Sheffield's Carol Sings
52:58had left it in tatters.
53:00Andrew and Emily are hoping the book can continue playing its part
53:06in keeping a remarkable tradition alive.
53:10Hello, hello.
53:11Hello there.
53:12Hi.
53:12Absolutely fantastic to see you.
53:14How are you both feeling?
53:16Really excited.
53:17Are you?
53:18Yeah.
53:18It's more than the book.
53:19It's the tradition and certainly now not having my grandad
53:23there in the pub with me, his book's always there.
53:27That's really lovely.
53:28Yeah.
53:28Well, are you ready to see what I've managed to do?
53:32Certainly are.
53:40Oh!
53:41Wow.
53:54Look at the back.
53:55That's fantastic.
53:59Wow.
54:01That's a Christmas breath.
54:02Yeah.
54:02Thank you so much.
54:04That's brilliant.
54:05Look.
54:07I can't believe it.
54:10I can't.
54:11And there was whole...
54:13I can't believe it, Grace.
54:15The joy of Christmas.
54:17I know.
54:17Yeah, it is.
54:18It's fantastic.
54:19It's such a beautiful thing.
54:21It'll certainly feel special to stand it on the piano
54:24or the organ for the first time.
54:25It'll feel really nice.
54:27Andrew, how would you feel about doing a sing for us now?
54:31Yeah.
54:32Come on, everybody.
54:35Outside.
54:37Pond at your finest, please, landlord.
54:39Oh, coming right up, sir.
54:42Paid in chocolate coins.
54:44Perfect.
54:44Here they come.
54:48Wow.
54:49It's a pub.
54:50Look at that.
54:51Oh, look.
54:51There's a choir.
54:52Oh, is that a bar?
54:54Hello, everyone.
54:55Welcome to the Hammer and Spanner.
54:56Cheers.
54:58What can I get you?
54:59There you go.
55:00Oh, you pour a decent pint.
55:02The usual.
55:03Oh, yes.
55:04We singers make bold out in days of old
55:11To celebrate Christmas and bring you good cheer
55:17Glad tidings we bring of Messiah, our King
55:24So we wish you a Merry Christmas
55:29We wish you a Merry Christmas
55:33And a Happy New Year
55:38Merry Christmas
55:41Hello, everyone.
55:48Hello.
55:49I've got a surprise for you.
55:50Merry Christmas
56:08Merry Christmas
56:10Merry Christmas
