00:00Shorty West, shorty-wrench
00:04There's a girl's hunting away
00:08Oh, so bad, and that came from
00:12Shorty-wrench, shorty-wrench
00:17Shorty-wrench, shorty-wrench
00:20Shorty-wrench, shorty-wrench
00:24Shorty-wrench, shorty-wrench

00:35The luxury liner Galaxy is a few days into her inaugural Christmas cruise to the Caribbean
00:42And on board, 2,000 passengers and 1,000 crew to service their every need
00:48Yorkshire-born singer Jane MacDonald is on her first job as a solo headliner
00:52And although plagued by chronic stage fright
00:54I could be sick right now, I'll be honest with you, I could just throw up
00:58The audience love her
01:01Her Danish boyfriend Henrik is about to join her in Mexico
01:06But social hostess Amanda Reid, the first lady of the ship, has no time for a private life
01:11She's far too busy with the passengers' needs
01:15People like Kate and her boyfriend Jim on their 68th cruise
01:19Living life to the full and loving every minute of it
01:22And then there's Granville Bailey from Jamaica
01:24On a 15% commission for every cocktail sold, he roams the ship constantly with a familiar battle cry
01:31Strawberry ducky, we have phoenix lauder, strawberry ducky
01:36Christmas is coming
01:37Christmas is coming, and it's a long way from home
01:49I'm so excited because my mum's arriving today and it's Christmas Eve and I'm just off to phone the mum
01:54And I don't feel like ever so Christmassy at all
01:58This is the only thing when you're abroad
02:00Because it's not cold and there's no fireplace
02:02And I expect the smell of my mother's baking
02:07And traditional Christmas things happening and it's just not happening
02:12Bar service
02:13Bar service
02:18Bar service
02:22That's the thing with working on a ship
02:24Every time you set foot
02:25It's half past seven
02:26So EastEnders should be starting any minute
02:29And it could be the Christmas one
02:31So hey, things could be hotting up for Grant Mitchell
02:33You know, so
02:35It's great really because she gives me all the info on the soaps as well
02:38And she sends me out the magazines and things
02:41So it's quite nice that
02:42I actually keep up on all the TV soaps
02:45Bar service
02:46That's the thing with working on a ship
02:48Every time you set foot outside your cabin door
02:51You are basically on duty
02:53And if I have got time off and I go ashore
02:55You know, and I'll be wearing my own clothes or whatever
02:58Passengers always recognise me and stop me in the street
03:01And want to know this and want to know that
03:03At no time could I turn around and say
03:05I'm sorry, I'm in a rush, I can't stop now
03:08You've always got to give them time
03:09You've always got to be polite
03:11Yeah, always polite
03:12Even when you feel they don't want to be?
03:14Yes
03:15My acting can't be very well
03:18Sometimes
03:20I told him, if he ever got fat
03:22He was out the door
03:25And you're feeding him off
03:26Excuse me
03:27I can't believe you're going to eat more, Jim
03:29You're going to eat food
03:33Hello?
03:34Hello?
03:35Hello, dear
03:36Oh, hello, Merry Christmas
03:38Oh, Merry Christmas, how are you?
03:41I'm fine, how are you? What are you doing?
03:43What am I doing?
03:45I've just been watching Amadeus
03:47I thought you might have been doing that
03:49Are you weeping buckets?
03:51Are you weeping buckets?
03:53What's happened?
03:53Oh, David has died in a fire
03:55Oh, no!
03:57Prober, look at that food
03:59Looks just like the ones I fix at home
04:01Crisp that bacon is
04:02Crisp that bacon is
04:03I do so
04:04You put those two egg benedicts and they look like two boobies
04:07You're on camera
04:10Chris got that on film
04:14We're going to have to wash her mouth out with soap
04:17I started off as a dancer
04:19Years ago
04:20On the QE2 for a long time
04:23And then I became a social hostess full time
04:26In 92
04:28And I've really enjoyed it
04:30I was so dedicated to the dancing there
04:32It was the hardest decision I ever had to make
04:34To stop
04:35To give up
04:37Too many injuries
04:38You know, just pain from injuries
04:42And pains and aches
04:44It's all part of getting old, I suppose
04:48Henrik will arrive then?
04:49No, Henrik will be here in about an hour
04:51So, er
04:52I'm getting quite excited about that now
04:54At least I'll, you know
04:55I'll have someone with me
04:56On Christmas morning and things, you know
04:59Oh, so romantic
05:00It is
05:01Ah, but lovely
05:02It is actually, isn't it, you know
05:04But, er
05:04As I said
05:05It's great being in the Caribbean
05:07On a wonderful cruise ship
05:08But, like
05:08You know
05:09Home is where I really want to be
05:11At Christmas
05:11Ah, I think everybody thinks that way, don't they?
05:15You know
05:15To the family time, isn't it?
05:17Yeah
05:17And my mum
05:18She misses me, actually
05:20She really does
05:21Especially now she's on her own
05:24Erm
05:26But I have two wonderful brothers
05:28And they look after her as much as possible
05:31And I phone twice a week
05:32But I have been very worried about her
05:34Since I've been away this time
05:37Well, listen, you have a wonderful Christmas
05:39And I miss you loads
05:41OK?
05:43Yes, I would like that
05:44Be good
05:45I will, love
05:46See you soon
05:47OK
05:48Bye
05:48Bye
05:49Bye-bye, love
05:50Bye
05:50Bye
05:52Oh, I'm sorry
05:57I just miss them so much
06:05Yeah, man, how are we doing?
06:08Everything is alright
06:09Yay!
06:14This is Henrik
06:15Who I've been talking about
06:16All week
06:17Constantly, I might ask
06:18Oh, really?
06:19On camera, yeah
06:20I'm sorry
06:21But this is it
06:23The love of my life
06:24Is finally here
06:25So your Christmas can begin?
06:27Absolutely
06:28I'm extremely happy now
06:29That my other half is here
06:32So, er
06:33You know
06:34Things are looking good
06:36It can only get better now
06:37HE LAUGHS
07:11I've been frozen 17 years now
07:15It's rough, but you know
07:16It's a rough life
07:17But you have to sacrifice yourself for family
07:20Sometimes I get depressed
07:22When I
07:23When you think about your family
07:24You know
07:25When you have to leave
07:26Your wife, your kids, and everybody
07:27So, sometimes
07:28I was feeling so bad
07:41Around a month ago
07:43My son and his nephew
07:46Meeting an accident
07:47And
07:48My son was critical, you know
07:49And his nephew died
07:51So, that day
07:52I was feeling so bad
07:53My pressure go high up
07:55So, er
07:56But after a while
07:57I, you know
07:58Calm down
07:59I get medicine
08:00Calming down
08:09Boxing day, of course
08:10You'll be in Jamaica
08:11Yeah, Thursday
08:12Yes
08:12I will see him Thursday
08:14I try to see him Thursday
08:15Well
08:16It will be
08:17Make my day
08:18You know
08:18Better
08:19You know
08:19When I see him, you know
08:21It's around four months
08:22Since I don't see them, you know
08:23So
08:23It will be nice
08:38Seasons
08:39Greetings and ho, ho, ho to all
08:41From the navigational bridge
08:43Our navigational officer tells us
08:45That they have spotted it
08:46The jolly old elf himself
08:49The jolly old elf himself
08:49Santa Claus
08:49And he's going to be making his way
08:51To the beautiful galaxy
08:52He'll be arriving on deck number six
08:56Via lifeboat today
08:57Not sleigh and reindeer
08:58Seasons greetings to you all
09:02Hey, oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
09:10Look at me
09:12Days like these
09:13Everybody feels that he should have been home
09:15And it helps a lot the morale of the people to go down
09:18And recognize the holy day and make them feel at home
09:24Merry Christmas.
09:27Merry Christmas.
09:29Merry Christmas.
09:30Merry Christmas.
09:32It's not so merry for you, though, is it?
09:34You're cold.
09:35Yeah, a bit stuffed up, a bit of a throat, yes.
09:38Never mind.
09:39Battle on regardless.
09:41It never seems like Christmas in your way.
09:44Another working day, really.
09:45But you try to get in the festive spirit and get everybody going.
09:49Even when you are all blocked up.
09:51Yeah.
09:52Merry Christmas, Robert.
09:54What time did you have children?
09:55Look at that water.
09:56Oh, look at that water.
09:59Merry Christmas, Robert.
10:00Merry Christmas.
10:04Can you believe that water?
10:06Look at that.
10:07Look at those waves over there.
10:09Holy Toledo.
10:11Look at the stare at me this morning.
10:15Just a bit too much to drink last night.
10:17Oh, Tony.
10:18You've had a nice continental breakfast delivered this morning.
10:21I've had a coffee in a Danish.
10:22Bit of a headache, right?
10:23I've had a coffee in a Danish.
10:26My own professional Danish.
10:28Let's call that drink.
10:34Feliz Navidad, senor.
10:36Feliz Navidad.
10:41Feliz Navidad, Captain.
10:42Merry Christmas.
10:52Oh, I love it like this.
10:55I love it when the boat rocks.
10:57I love the wind.
11:00All right, this is just heavenly.
11:02Just beautiful out here.
11:05It's abnormally windy.
11:08Hello, Mum.
11:09Happy Christmas.
11:11Oh, hello, darling.
11:12How are you?
11:13Oh, not too good.
11:15Really?
11:15It's too painful to fly flat.
11:18Oh, I am sorry.
11:21Feliz Navidad, of course.
11:22Yeah.
11:23Feliz Navidad.
11:24We're going to open our prezzies now.
11:26Can't wait, actually.
11:27It's a little box.
11:29So I'm dying to know what's in that little box.
11:32Well, I know it won't be what I think it is.
11:34Because we said, didn't we?
11:38What's that?
11:38Look, we're not going to get engaged or anything drastic.
11:43Not yet.
11:44By the time.
11:45Yeah.
11:46By this time.
11:48I think everybody expects that at Christmas and things like that.
11:51But we're a bit more down to earth, Henrik and I.
11:55So a bit more realistic.
11:58Aren't we, love?
11:59Sure.
12:01I've got your present here.
12:03I'm going to save it for later and open it tonight in my cabin
12:08when I've got some time.
12:09My husband.
12:10Yeah.
12:11God bless.
12:12God bless.
12:12OK, love you, Lex.
12:13Bye-bye.
12:14Love you a lot.
12:15Bye.
12:15Bye.
12:19How is she?
12:21Not too good.
12:26She's got bad problems.
12:32Oh, gosh.
12:34Oh, Henrik.
12:36You like him?
12:37Oh, they're absolutely beautiful.
12:39Diamond cut gold earrings.
12:41Ah!
12:45Thank you so much.
12:47Oh, I can wear these today now.
12:49I'm such a lucky lady.
12:51I was married for 37 years, and then my husband died unexpectedly, and of course I was devastated.
12:59It took me about a year to recover.
13:01And then one day I met Jim.
13:03I knew Jim.
13:04And one day he called me on the phone, and he says, I would like to take you out to
13:08dinner.
13:08And I said, that would be very nice.
13:11And that started this.
13:13Yeah, it was almost two years ago.
13:15And, you know, she keeps me alive and young and awake.
13:18I never know what's coming out of Kate's mouth next.
13:21You have to be prepared, not let anything embarrass you, and be prepared for anything.
13:26The only thing I have ever really taken seriously was when Ralston died.
13:30And I thought then my world had come to an end, but it really didn't.
13:34So I've come to the conclusion that the world doesn't come to an end when things happen.
13:39I'm going to say, eh.
13:56003.
13:57003.
13:59003.
14:00000.
14:02003.
14:03003.
14:03003.
14:06003.
14:09I'm feeling all right.
14:11It just doesn't sound very good.
14:13Everybody's been getting sick, and I've managed to avoid it.
14:23On behalf of our restaurant manager, we wish peace on earth, goodwill towards men, and bon appétit.
14:33What do you fancy?
14:36Fish and chips, bangers and mousse.
14:38It's not on here, really, is it?
14:40I'm going to have the whole lot.
14:41What about a dessert?
14:42Oh, we've got to have a mincemeat tartlet.
14:49Well, hello.
14:51How are you?
14:52Merry Christmas to you?
14:54Merry Christmas to you, my darling.
14:55Merry Christmas.
14:56How are you doing?
14:56Oh, we're having a one night.
14:57Yes?
14:58I can't talk very loud.
15:02It might be a good thing.
15:06Who knows?
15:07Have a lovely evening.
15:08Enjoy yourselves.
15:09And happy Christmas.
15:10Happy Christmas to you.
15:11I'll say two.
15:12Here's good.
15:13Here's good.
15:13Thirty-two.
15:15Oh, and a cocktail.
15:18My service.
15:21She's got her two bucks she's ready to blow here.
15:23A big gambler over here.
15:26I mean, you get a whole bunch.
15:28Look, I've got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
15:31Whoa, ten.
15:33I am in the...
15:34I'm on a roll now.
15:39Is it something one should take last thing at night?
15:41Two every six hours.
15:43Right.
15:44Oh, right.
15:45Thank you very, very much.
15:46You can take them now.
15:47Thank you so much.
15:48But they do work.
15:49Honestly.
15:50You're welcome.
15:51Look at there.
15:52What?
15:52How many did I get?
15:54Oh, wow.
15:54Look.
15:55One, two.
15:56Have you ever tried these machines?
15:58Gangle?
15:59No.
16:03They can afford it, my friend.
16:06I can't afford it at all, man.
16:08The money I work is for my kids, man.
16:12It's so embarrassing.
16:13You start coughing in front of everybody.
16:17Do you think you've got the temperature?
16:20Yes.
16:20I feel a bit hot, actually.
16:23I just had a passenger run out and get me some tablets.
16:25That's terrible.
16:26So embarrassing.
16:28We're going to the stratosphere.
16:30Goodbye.
16:30We'll see you, Kate.
16:31It's our time.
16:32Y'all don't leave me.
16:33I'm coming.
16:34I'm out.
16:37I lost all my money.
16:41Nicola.
16:41Nicola.
16:42Okay, Nicola.
16:42Oh, okay.
16:43Bon appetit.
16:44Enjoy dinner.
16:45Hi.
16:47Merry Christmas.
16:52Where are you going, Kate?
16:53I'm going up to the stratosphere lounge.
16:56I'm going up to Boogie for a while.
16:59He likes to Boogie.
17:01Love to Boogie.
17:04So now I'm going to go down to my cabin and open my Christmas present from Mum.
17:12No smoothing on the top deck.
17:15Why not?
17:16Pass the roll.
17:25Has this felt wonderful?
17:30Oh, my cards are falling down.
17:33Come in.
17:43Hey!
17:46Hey!
17:48Hey.
17:48Take a minute.
17:53Oh!
17:58Okay.
18:02Shall I do it, then?
18:04Oh, goodness me. Lovely box. Oh, my God. Those are beautiful. Look at that. Those are really,
18:20really gorgeous. Now, do I have a mother that spoils me or what? I'm thrilled. My God,
18:28they're beautiful. I'm going to put them on. That's it. They're coming on right now. They're so pretty.
18:34Sorry, I'm going to have to move to the mirror here.
18:45Ta-da. Aren't those lovely? Oh, those are beautiful. That's really lovely.
18:58Nobody here, just you and me.
19:07Your righteous Heavenly Father, we thank you once more again for sparing our life.
19:16I'm asking dear Lord to bless my son, Martin, who's meeting a serious accident, O God.
19:22I'm asking to guide him, keep him. I'm asking dear Lord to own, heal all his wounded born.
19:30I'll never forget the way you look tonight, the way you look tonight.
19:43I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
20:07I'll never forget the way you look tonight.
20:15One six zero. One six zero.
21:18He's leaving on Sunday, so I'm not looking forward to him leaving.
21:22He's like, keep calming me down all the time.
21:25He's really good.
21:28So I'll just have to bank on you.
21:30Hello, Mr. Molinari.
21:33Hi, this is Amanda, the social hostess.
21:35I was just ringing up about the invitation for you and your wife.
21:38Oh, you did?
21:39OK.
21:40It's an invitation to dine at the staff captain's table this evening, which is the captain's
21:44table.
21:44Well, just special people, you see.
21:47My son Martin break his shoulder, his jawbone, I think his foot.
21:54A lot of breaking.
21:55He's a lucky God save his life.
21:58How old is he?
21:59He's 20.
22:00Oh.
22:00April God, he's 20.
22:02Yeah.
22:07Such a lady.
22:08First time I see you without sequence, Jay.
22:10I know.
22:11It's amazing, isn't it?
22:12I think I prefer my sequence, really.
22:14I'm only doing it because he likes it.
22:40The day I wake up in the morning and dread getting up and dread work is the day I have.
22:46to stop because, you know, to me, life is too short.
22:51You don't go through life doing a job that you hate.
22:54And I feel sorry for people that really have to.
22:56I think it's a great shame.
22:58So I feel very lucky, really.
23:00So I don't really have a goal as such.
23:02I want to carry on doing this, really, as long as I can, as long as they like me.
23:07I'll just carry on.
23:20What about settling down?
23:23Oh, that.
23:28I'd like to, really, but I think the opportunity's passed me by.
23:33Getting old now.
23:35You don't really think that, do you, about that?
23:38Um, I do a bit, yeah.
23:40Yeah.
23:43I'd like to, really, but this is not the right environment to meet anyone.
23:48Why, you say that?
23:49Well, you know, passengers are only on for seven days.
23:51You don't really get to know the passengers, and there aren't any single men that travel anyway.
23:56And the people who work here usually go after the younger girls.
24:00So I'm at that sort of in-between age, really, when nobody's particularly interested.
24:09Hey, help me!
24:13That's my heart.
24:22I want to love you.
24:26And treat you right.
24:28I want to love you.
24:31My dinner in the...
24:32Oh, my neck.
24:33I want to love you.
24:34And every night, we'll be together.
24:40With the roof right over her head, we'll share the shadows up.
24:49For my single day, we'll share the same room, yeah.
25:03My father is home now, so I'm very happy.
25:05Yeah, man.
25:06Me and my father move very close, you know.
25:08Now he's at home.
25:09I feel very glad to see him.
25:10I feel like I'm better.
25:11I feel like I feel like I'm feeling.
25:20I want to know, I want to know, I know, I know now.
25:39If you're having a great time enjoying this tropical breeze, an almost moonlit night, let me hear everyone go, yes!
25:47This is your vacation, folks.
25:49One, two, three, yes!
26:08Yes, sir!
26:10This is the moment you've been waiting for.
26:12And the first time around, she gave us a wonderful show, direct from England.
26:16Ladies and gentlemen, won't you please welcome Miss Jane MacDonald!
26:25When I was a little girl, I had a raggle, only doll I've ever owned.
26:46Now I'm going to link you to a few secrets now, because I've been on my own.
26:50Well, for many, many years, ladies and gentlemen, no boyfriend.
26:52But now, ladies and gentlemen, I've found myself a man!
26:58Is he here?
26:59Well, actually, yes, he is here.
27:01This next song is going out to my beloved, ladies and gentlemen.
27:06Isn't it romantic, being on a ship?
27:09Can we have the lights?
27:10Can we just point him out?
27:12Oh, there he is.
27:14This one's going out to you, my love.
27:16I've got a feeling the wedding's off now.
27:18Don't you?
27:20Oh, sir, in the morning
27:26Our lovers sleep in time
27:33Oh, rolling by like thunder now
27:39As I look in your eyes
27:47I hold on to your eyes
27:50I hold on to your eyes
