"Christmas is about... Christmas is charity."

0:00:270:00:29

Martin, will you make a choice - either eat, drink or rehearse?

0:00:290:00:32

Look, Derek is coming to see how I'm doing later

0:00:320:00:35

and I still haven't nailed it, have I?

0:00:350:00:37

-Right, and I've got to go to work as well.

-Just come here. Come here.

0:00:370:00:41

HE EXHALES

0:00:420:00:45

Good. Right, go on, do it for me. Again.

0:00:450:00:48

"Christmas is about charity, kindness.

0:00:500:00:54

"It is a day when families open up to each other,

0:00:540:00:59

"fellow passengers to the grave."

0:00:590:01:01

Sharon. Sharon!

0:01:010:01:04

-He's really bad.

-Nonsense.

0:01:210:01:24

You've never really been a morning person, have you, love?

0:01:240:01:28

You know, your mum used to say when you were little,

0:01:290:01:32

you'd scream the house down when they woke you up.

0:01:320:01:36

Listen, Phil, why don't we start making some plans for Christmas, eh?

0:01:370:01:43

Make a list of all the stuff you really want to do.

0:01:430:01:46

What's the point?

0:01:460:01:48

Just got a message from Nancy. They're in Japan now.

0:01:570:02:00

Do you reckon those Christmas lights

0:02:000:02:02

are meant to be terminally depressing, or...

0:02:020:02:04

I e-mailed the council about it.

0:02:040:02:06

Didn't hear a word back so maybe they are.

0:02:060:02:09

It's appropriate somehow.

0:02:090:02:11

L, I'm gutted that Nancy ain't here as well.

0:02:110:02:14

Let's try and make it a special one, though, eh?

0:02:160:02:18

BABY CRIES

0:02:180:02:21

They must have given a reason.

0:02:250:02:27

No, just says, "I regret to inform you we're withdrawing the offer,"

0:02:270:02:30

blah, blah, blah, "We're sure you'll find another buyer."

0:02:300:02:33

-Oh!

-Ron, it happens when you're selling a house.

0:02:330:02:36

-It might happen again.

-No, the wedding band has just cancelled.

0:02:360:02:39

-They e-mailed last night.

-What?

0:02:390:02:42

Look, it's OK. We'll find another one.

0:02:420:02:44

I just wish we could press pause or something.

0:02:440:02:47

-Come on, not on our wedding.

-No, on Christmas.

0:02:470:02:50

Do you think people would mind putting it on hold for a month

0:02:500:02:53

-while we tie the knot?

-No harm in asking, is there?

0:02:530:02:55

BABY WHIMPERS

0:02:550:02:57

-I'll go.

-No, no, no, I'll get it.

0:02:570:02:59

DOOR SLAMS

0:03:080:03:10

-Ron?

-Yeah?

0:03:100:03:12

I saw your light on. I need caffeine.

0:03:120:03:15

Do you want me to turn the lights off as well?

0:03:150:03:18

I said I wanted caffeine, not sarcastic comments. Is Amy up yet?

0:03:180:03:21

No, she's not. I'm not going to wake her up early either,

0:03:210:03:24

cos she'll be a nightmare.

0:03:240:03:26

So why don't you just lie there and try not to be sick.

0:03:260:03:30

Then how about a movie marathon after dinner?

0:03:300:03:34

Lights off. All cosy.

0:03:340:03:36

We could watch all them Bourne movies. You like them.

0:03:360:03:38

There are about five of them now.

0:03:380:03:41

Give everyone a chance to digest the turkey, won't it?

0:03:410:03:44

Lou, just give us a sec, will you?

0:03:440:03:48

I'll say bye before school.

0:03:480:03:50

Sharon, this could be my last Christmas.

0:03:560:04:01

Why, you going to cancel next year?

0:04:010:04:04

You could get a call from the Royal Free any minute.

0:04:070:04:10

If you're serious about giving me a special day, then...

0:04:100:04:13

..I don't want all this.

0:04:140:04:16

It's not legally binding. It's just a list.

0:04:160:04:18

The best present you could get me is just,

0:04:180:04:22

just clear everyone out, please.

0:04:220:04:24

At Christmas?

0:04:240:04:27

Just go to Ian's or something.

0:04:270:04:28

Oh, I'd love to see your reaction if I suggested that to you!

0:04:280:04:31

-I mean it, Sharon.

-No, I'm sorry, Phil!

0:04:310:04:33

I know you've had a bad night

0:04:330:04:35

but I'm not going to cancel Christmas cos of a bad shoulder!

0:04:350:04:38

You'd only regret it on the day.

0:04:380:04:40

Oh, thanks. Yeah, they're perfect.

0:04:470:04:50

I thought we had everything from the move but turns out every time

0:04:500:04:53

I try to make something, I ain't got it.

0:04:530:04:54

Should have seen Lee's face last night.

0:04:540:04:56

I had to tell him there was no cheese grater.

0:04:560:04:59

You didn't make him eat a baked potato without grated cheese?

0:04:590:05:02

What, and the Square's still standing?

0:05:020:05:04

-I mean that's Armageddon territory, that is.

-Hence the egg cups.

0:05:040:05:07

That's why I'm going to make him breakfast in bed.

0:05:070:05:09

He's been really stressed out with work lately.

0:05:090:05:11

Do you have to do that now?

0:05:110:05:14

-Just getting everyone in the mood, ain't I?

-Looks like how I feel.

0:05:140:05:18

It'll be all right once I give it a little once over

0:05:180:05:20

with the pilling brush, it'll be brand-new.

0:05:200:05:23

Yeah, so we're definitely doing the grotto this year, then?

0:05:230:05:26

Unless it really is the end of the world. You love it.

0:05:260:05:28

-It's tradition.

-Maybe we can find a tradition that don't involve kids

0:05:280:05:32

running amok in my pub.

0:05:320:05:34

Is Thursday all right for the open house?

0:05:360:05:38

-Yeah, just make sure it's not too early.

-Open house?

0:05:380:05:41

Yeah, the buyer pulled out so we're having another open house

0:05:410:05:43

to find a new buyer as quickly as possible.

0:05:430:05:45

When was I going to find out about this?

0:05:450:05:47

-We only found out an hour ago.

-I've been here 20 minutes.

-Roxy!

0:05:470:05:51

Do you know what the three most stressful things in life are?

0:05:510:05:53

Moving house, getting married and Christmas,

0:05:530:05:56

and we're doing all three of them at the same time.

0:05:560:05:58

-Are we going on holiday?

-No, love.

0:05:580:06:01

-Yes, we are, to Dorset.

-No, we're not going anywhere, sweetie.

0:06:010:06:04

-No?

-No.

0:06:040:06:06

So, sorry, why have I just found this where you've selected dates

0:06:060:06:10

-to go to Moonfleet Cottage next week?

-Hold on, I was literally...

0:06:100:06:13

What were you going to do? Take my daughter as well?

0:06:130:06:15

Send me a postcard - "Happy Christmas, we've all jumped ship

0:06:150:06:18

"and the sale of the house has fallen through. Ciao!"

0:06:180:06:21

-Don't come round here hanging from last night, picking fights.

-Jack.

0:06:210:06:25

Amy, give Mummy a kiss.

0:06:250:06:28

I'm going to work.

0:06:280:06:30

Rise and shine, babe.

0:06:370:06:40

Oi, look.

0:06:400:06:43

What's all this?

0:06:470:06:48

Well, I can't help with work but I can make the before bit better.

0:06:480:06:52

-Here you are.

-Ooh.

0:06:520:06:55

Remind me to get some more egg cups. I had to borrow these off your mum.

0:06:550:06:59

Mmm, nice coffee.

0:06:590:07:01

You know, she seemed a bit... I dunno.

0:07:010:07:05

I just think the burglary's really got to her.

0:07:050:07:07

Can't she just get over it?

0:07:070:07:08

I know it weren't nice, but no-one died, did they?

0:07:080:07:11

-Lee, I still get nightmares and it weren't even my place.

-I'm late.

0:07:110:07:16

What about your breakfast?

0:07:160:07:18

You're in early. Not after a breakfast G&T, I hope?

0:07:230:07:26

Don't tempt me.

0:07:260:07:28

I, erm...

0:07:290:07:30

I just walked Louise to the bus stop

0:07:300:07:32

and I can't quite face going home yet.

0:07:320:07:34

Hey, what's all this?

0:07:340:07:36

Phil had a bad night.

0:07:360:07:39

He wants us all to go away for Christmas,

0:07:390:07:41

leave him alone for a few days.

0:07:410:07:42

Oh, men are so stupid sometimes.

0:07:420:07:46

It's just if you're ill, well, you want your family around, no?

0:07:460:07:51

I'd want Phil around. Why doesn't he want me there?

0:07:510:07:53

He probably don't want to bring you all down.

0:07:530:07:55

I mean, I feel like that.

0:07:550:07:57

Like my miserable face is going to ruin Christmas for everyone.

0:07:570:08:00

He thinks I'm a burden.

0:08:000:08:02

-So what you going to do?

-You think I should do what he wants, don't you?

0:08:030:08:08

I do know a lovely pub in Epping Forest, the Fighting Rabbit.

0:08:080:08:11

Does a nice dinner. Could go for a walk afterwards.

0:08:110:08:14

Beautiful if it snows.

0:08:140:08:15

Eating someone else's turkey? Talking to strangers?

0:08:150:08:18

We've got mates who go every year and they love it.

0:08:180:08:20

-I could text you the details.

-What if something happens?

0:08:200:08:23

Ronnie can look in on him, make sure he's OK.

0:08:230:08:26

It's either that or you find a way to make Christmas easy for him.

0:08:260:08:30

The chair.

0:08:320:08:34

The Easy Lie, of course!

0:08:340:08:35

Oh, Linda, you are brilliant!

0:08:350:08:38

-Thank you. See you later.

-Bye.

0:08:380:08:41

I just need everyone to agree on a date. I'll do the rest.

0:08:430:08:47

We are all too busy and too skint.

0:08:470:08:49

Oh, come on, everyone loves an office Christmas party!

0:08:490:08:52

We ain't got an office.

0:08:520:08:55

OK, can everyone except Donna the Unhelpful

0:08:550:08:59

give me their dates for our Christmas get-together?

0:08:590:09:02

Kush?

0:09:060:09:08

Are you telling me there's another van-load?

0:09:080:09:11

-Yeah, I'd help if I could, but...

-No, it ain't that.

0:09:110:09:13

It's just that we have sold everyone around here a tree.

0:09:130:09:16

How are we supposed to shift any more?

0:09:160:09:18

How about you spend a little less time learning that script of yours

0:09:180:09:21

and a little more time extolling the virtues

0:09:210:09:23

of our WONDERFUL merchandise. How about that?

0:09:230:09:25

Oh, Stacey's been on at me to ask.

0:09:250:09:27

I need Friday afternoon off for Lily's nativity.

0:09:270:09:30

She's playing the innkeeper, bless her.

0:09:300:09:32

You should see her in her big apron, mate, she's so cute...

0:09:320:09:34

You can't have an afternoon off in December!

0:09:340:09:37

Some people!

0:09:370:09:39

-Hey.

-All right?

0:09:410:09:43

-Have you seen my sister?

-Yeah, painkiller shopping.

0:09:430:09:47

Is she OK? I think I upset her yesterday.

0:09:470:09:50

Yeah, she is a bit touchy. What did you say to her?

0:09:500:09:53

Oh, just some stupid idea I had. I should've kept my mouth shut.

0:09:530:09:57

-See you later.

-See you.

0:09:580:10:00

But can we afford it?

0:10:030:10:05

No, she'd love a tablet, Billy, you know she would.

0:10:050:10:08

-All her friends have got them.

-I've been looking for you.

0:10:080:10:11

Can you take both of these together?

0:10:110:10:13

Um, yeah, they're fine.

0:10:130:10:15

Good. I'll take them both.

0:10:150:10:17

-One sec, Billy.

-I wasn't booking a holiday.

-Cheers.

0:10:170:10:20

-Yeah, go on, Billy.

-Roxy, wait!

0:10:200:10:23

The wedding band's cancelled. The buyer's pulled out.

0:10:230:10:26

I was just looking online for one second.

0:10:260:10:28

Yeah? Just long enough to put in the exact dates you wanted.

0:10:280:10:30

I was just daydreaming! Christmas didn't even cross my mind.

0:10:300:10:34

What is it with you? Turning up early, picking fights.

0:10:340:10:38

Donna said she upset you yesterday. What did she say?

0:10:380:10:41

I need to get back to work.

0:10:430:10:45

It was 50 quid cheaper in the pawn shop so I just,

0:10:480:10:51

you know, I went for it.

0:10:510:10:53

I'll be getting my bonus soon anyway so that'll cover it, won't it?

0:10:530:10:57

All right, yeah, I'll bring it over later.

0:10:570:11:00

Yes.

0:11:010:11:03

I love you too.

0:11:030:11:04

Jay, what you reckon? For Janet.

0:11:060:11:09

You're going to be popular when this box gets opened, ain't you?

0:11:090:11:12

It's the right model, isn't it? I don't know about all that stuff.

0:11:120:11:15

Yeah, it's the cutting edge, or it is for the next two months at least.

0:11:150:11:18

Billy, could I borrow Jay for a bit?

0:11:180:11:20

Sorry, you can't, cos his shift's going to start in three minutes.

0:11:200:11:24

Billy, given as you're his boss, I'm sure you can give him the time off?

0:11:240:11:28

-Thank you. C'mon, Jay.

-Sharon, have you seen this?

0:11:280:11:32

You see, I have been invited to the council's evening

0:11:320:11:34

for entrepreneurs and businessmen.

0:11:340:11:36

"By way of a thank you to the essential members

0:11:360:11:39

"of the vibrant business community."

0:11:390:11:41

-Well done, Billy. C'mon Jay.

-No, no, Sharon.

0:11:410:11:44

I don't think you understand.

0:11:440:11:46

You see, this means that I am important now,

0:11:460:11:49

that I am to be respected.

0:11:490:11:50

So you can't tell me what to do any more.

0:11:500:11:53

You have skived off most of your life

0:11:530:11:56

and Jay can't have an hour to help Phil have a decent Christmas?

0:11:560:11:59

Now, let's start again, shall we?

0:12:000:12:03

"Yes, Sharon, take him for as long as you want."

0:12:030:12:05

Or shall I get Honey in here in front of everyone

0:12:050:12:07

and make you do it anyway, hmm?

0:12:070:12:10

Yes, Sharon.

0:12:120:12:13

Hmm?

0:12:130:12:16

You can have him for as long as you want.

0:12:160:12:18

Jay.

0:12:180:12:21

With just one you can't see it from both ends of the bar.

0:12:290:12:32

I'd rather not have one at all this year.

0:12:320:12:34

Linda, please, help me out. I've got to get rid of these things.

0:12:340:12:37

Steven! We don't want another tree!

0:12:370:12:40

-Have you seen Ian?

-Yes, mate.

0:12:400:12:43

He's gone home cos of his back, so it's just you and me shifting trees.

0:12:430:12:46

You do know that he's not letting me have the afternoon off

0:12:460:12:49

to go to Lily's nativity?

0:12:490:12:51

-None of us are getting time off.

-It's bigger than that.

0:12:510:12:53

I need to be there. Will you just talk to him?

0:12:530:12:56

You are joking?

0:12:560:12:59

Imagine how gutted you'd have felt if he'd missed yours.

0:12:590:13:01

He did miss ours.

0:13:010:13:04

Martin, Luke said you were here. Can I borrow you?

0:13:040:13:07

-No, he's not allowed off his stall.

-Huh?

0:13:070:13:09

Sorry, I'm just following orders.

0:13:090:13:11

He'll be back outside when he's given me a hand.

0:13:110:13:13

Are you going to tell Ian or something? No? Good.

0:13:130:13:16

-It's not far, but we'll need the van, OK.

-All right.

-Cheers.

0:13:160:13:20

I tried to bell you, but you've been permanently engaged.

0:13:260:13:29

Yeah, well, I'm trying to find a new buyer pronto,

0:13:290:13:32

-so I ain't got long.

-OK, well, I won't keep you.

0:13:320:13:35

What it is, I got Linda a lovely anniversary present.

0:13:350:13:39

I'm just struggling for Christmas present ideas, you know, so...

0:13:390:13:43

-Really?

-All right, what did you get Ronnie?

0:13:430:13:45

What, apart from a new house, my hand in marriage and a honeymoon?

0:13:450:13:49

I've done all that, ain't I?

0:13:490:13:51

All right, well...

0:13:510:13:53

silk scarves.

0:13:530:13:54

They love a silk scarf.

0:13:540:13:55

No matter how many they've got, each one is like the first.

0:13:550:13:59

-Silk scarf?

-Yeah.

0:13:590:14:02

Think it's going to take a little bit more than that to get my L

0:14:020:14:04

in the festive spirit.

0:14:040:14:06

Anyway, that's my agg, don't you worry about it.

0:14:060:14:08

No, no, no, no, no, come on. Let's talk it out.

0:14:080:14:11

-Why's she not in the mood?

-Where do I start?

0:14:110:14:14

Nancy ain't going to be home.

0:14:140:14:17

The robbery. Ollie.

0:14:170:14:20

The last couple of years have just been... They've been hard.

0:14:200:14:23

I mean, she's amazing, don't get me wrong.

0:14:230:14:26

Her strength's unbelievable.

0:14:260:14:28

There's a part of me that's thinking maybe I should just let her

0:14:280:14:30

deal with it in her own way

0:14:300:14:32

but I want to put a bit of fire back in her belly, you know what I mean?

0:14:320:14:35

Well, I wouldn't get Ron a present to sort her out.

0:14:350:14:39

Nah, no matter how down she is, you got to give them a sense of cause,

0:14:390:14:42

a sense of injustice, then just sit back and watch.

0:14:420:14:45

Boom! It's like show time.

0:14:450:14:47

-Yeah, so, something that's going to get her back up.

-Exactly.

0:14:480:14:52

Something that gets all treacles' backs up.

0:14:520:14:56

Like...a stag do.

0:14:560:14:59

No, mate, no. Absolutely no way.

0:14:590:15:01

Yeah. Hold up? You've got to have a stag do!

0:15:010:15:03

I've been there, ain't I? Didn't end well.

0:15:030:15:06

-Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Listen, we ain't gotta go mad.

-No!

0:15:060:15:09

Listen, as much as I want to help you out with Linda,

0:15:090:15:12

the answer is a big fat not on your life, mate.

0:15:120:15:15

-All right.

-Yeah.

0:15:170:15:19

-Here, Jay, swing that back round here.

-Mind the door.

0:15:190:15:22

-Mind the paintwork.

-That wasn't me. That wasn't me.

0:15:220:15:24

Phil, what you doing up?

0:15:240:15:27

You all right, Phil.

0:15:270:15:29

Martin and Jay have just delivered your Christmas present.

0:15:290:15:33

Come on. Have a look.

0:15:330:15:35

What's this?

0:15:490:15:50

It's your Christmas present.

0:15:500:15:52

I thought after our little chat this morning I'd get it in early.

0:15:520:15:56

Lucky they had it waiting for delivery. Now, watch this, OK?

0:15:560:15:59

You don't have to move all day, right?

0:16:010:16:04

We're going to bring you presents and food.

0:16:040:16:07

There's even a hole for your TV remote.

0:16:070:16:09

I'd kill for a chair like that. Horizontal. 24/7.

0:16:090:16:12

-What about toilet breaks?

-Does it not double up as a commode?

0:16:120:16:14

Martin! See, Christmas will be a cinch.

0:16:140:16:18

Does it stop Louise crying in the morning?

0:16:210:16:25

-What?

-Does it, eh?

0:16:250:16:28

Which button does that?

0:16:280:16:29

What about the one that starts Ben talking again?

0:16:290:16:32

-Is it that one?

-Phil!

-Eh?

0:16:320:16:34

Or what about the one that stops my pain 24/7?

0:16:340:16:37

-Is it that one?

-I didn't mean anything by it.

0:16:370:16:39

Sharon, I'm dying, all right?

0:16:390:16:41

You just bring people round here

0:16:430:16:45

-like I'm some sort of freak to gawp at me.

-No!

0:16:450:16:48

It's just for friends and family.

0:16:480:16:51

-Come on, Martin.

-Yes.

0:16:510:16:53

Phil.

0:16:570:16:59

Phil, once you get your transplant, you'll feel brand-new.

0:17:000:17:04

That call is going to come any day now, I know it.

0:17:040:17:07

That's what you want this Christmas, is it?

0:17:090:17:12

Some other Sharon finds her Phil's dead

0:17:120:17:16

so you can enjoy your turkey roast?

0:17:160:17:18

Is that what you want?

0:17:180:17:20

Come on, everyone's struggling this year.

0:17:240:17:26

Cash, ill health, you know what I mean. We need a right rustle.

0:17:260:17:29

Well, you have a party, then.

0:17:290:17:31

You know well as I do, our missuses ain't going to let us have a party

0:17:310:17:34

out of charity, all right, so we need an excuse.

0:17:340:17:37

So all I'm asking is me and you go out, get out of our nut,

0:17:370:17:40

cheer ourselves up and, for PR purposes, we call it Jack's stag.

0:17:400:17:45

-Jack's stag?

-Eh?

0:17:450:17:47

-Yeah.

-Hmm.

0:17:470:17:50

The costumes look great. Kathy's done a marvellous job.

0:17:510:17:55

-Yeah, she has.

-Ah, Martin.

0:17:550:17:56

Are you ready to blow me away with your stellar performance?

0:17:560:18:00

-He's been rehearsing loads, haven't you?

-Yeah.

0:18:000:18:02

If Ian catches me off the stall again I'm toast,

0:18:020:18:04

so I'm going to have to take a raincheck, sorry.

0:18:040:18:06

Oh, come on, it's Christmas.

0:18:060:18:08

He can't begrudge you a little rehearsal time for a community play.

0:18:080:18:11

You have met Ebenezer Beale, right?

0:18:110:18:13

Oh, so he's Scrooge to your Cratchit, is he?

0:18:130:18:16

Never mind. It'll be very good for your motivation.

0:18:160:18:19

I wish he was Scrooge.

0:18:190:18:20

Then some ghost would turn up

0:18:200:18:22

and scare him into buying us a massive turkey.

0:18:220:18:25

Actually, he is pretty Scroogey, Stace.

0:18:250:18:28

He won't give me the time off for Lily's nativity.

0:18:290:18:32

I can't go.

0:18:340:18:36

Yeah, it's an open house all day, so come whenever.

0:18:370:18:41

No, we don't just want Elton John covers.

0:18:410:18:44

I know you're a tribute but you must know some other songs.

0:18:440:18:48

Well, maybe that's why you're not booked up!

0:18:480:18:51

Oi, relax.

0:18:520:18:54

We're never going to get another wedding band this late in the day.

0:18:560:18:58

So, we'll just get a DJ. It'll still be as good.

0:18:580:19:01

Come on, what's the matter? Tell me.

0:19:010:19:04

My sister. She thinks the worst of us all the time.

0:19:040:19:08

I look at a holiday website for a minute when things get on top of me,

0:19:080:19:11

I feel like Judas.

0:19:110:19:13

So if you're struggling and Roxy feels frozen out,

0:19:130:19:17

just get her to help with the wedding.

0:19:170:19:19

She'll love it and it'll just get her off our backs.

0:19:190:19:21

But don't give her anything important to do, all right,

0:19:210:19:23

cos she'll only muck it up.

0:19:230:19:25

PHONE RINGS

0:19:250:19:28

That's four. And five.

0:19:280:19:31

Er, I say I don't want to do a grotto so you double down on it?!

0:19:330:19:36

-Let's do ten grottos! Let's do 100!

-Just calm down, all right?

0:19:360:19:40

This is nothing to do with our tradition of bringing joy

0:19:400:19:42

to the children of East London.

0:19:420:19:44

-Emotional blackmail won't work.

-It's for Jack's stag.

0:19:440:19:47

-Jack's having a stag?

-As is customary, yes.

0:19:470:19:50

You're really going to throw a party when no-one here is in the mood?

0:19:500:19:53

-Especially cos no-one's in the mood.

-Fine! Fine! Enjoy!

0:19:530:19:56

I will. I will.

0:19:560:19:58

You're still supposed to be polite about Christmas presents.

0:19:580:20:02

You know, if this is your last Christmas, at least you'll be dead.

0:20:070:20:10

Spare a thought for the rest of us.

0:20:120:20:14

You could do with a break, couldn't you?

0:20:160:20:18

We'll be the ones left thinking of you alone in here, dying.

0:20:180:20:21

Us in a pub, pretending to have fun.

0:20:210:20:24

Christmas won't be the same again.

0:20:260:20:28

I've spent my whole life grafting for this family.

0:20:300:20:34

Now, after all these years of hard labour,

0:20:350:20:37

you want me to graft to the bitter end.

0:20:370:20:41

You know, I can't ever think of a time I wouldn't want you there,

0:20:420:20:47

to send you off.

0:20:470:20:49

I feel banished.

0:20:500:20:53

It's not... It's not you. I just...

0:20:530:20:56

I just want rest.

0:20:570:20:59

That's why I got you the chair.

0:20:590:21:01

A proper one.

0:21:020:21:05

No-one home. No graft. Just...

0:21:050:21:07

Just peace.

0:21:090:21:12

Please, Sharon.

0:21:140:21:16

We need to tell you something.

0:21:190:21:22

Yeah, look, Lil, you know I'm so proud of you

0:21:220:21:25

for being in this school nativity

0:21:250:21:27

and I know that you are going to be the best.

0:21:270:21:30

But the thing is, Martin has to work so he can't come.

0:21:300:21:36

But your mum, she's going to film the whole thing on her phone

0:21:360:21:39

and I can watch it later.

0:21:390:21:41

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:21:450:21:46

She'll be all right.

0:21:460:21:48

It's not just her I'm worried about.

0:21:480:21:51

Steven.

0:21:530:21:55

Look, Dad's had a vision and apparently it can't wait.

0:21:550:21:58

A pop-up Christmas tree shop.

0:21:580:22:00

You drive round, playing jingles, sort of like an ice cream van.

0:22:000:22:05

-What time is it?

-I don't know, seven. Just after.

0:22:050:22:08

What time does Martin finish work?

0:22:080:22:10

-Stace...

-Six.

0:22:100:22:13

So what are you actually doing here?

0:22:130:22:15

I've just had to break my little girl's heart cos of Ian.

0:22:150:22:17

As if he hasn't ruined our night enough, he's sent you round here

0:22:170:22:20

with some lame idea about shifting thousands of trees

0:22:200:22:23

that he bought out of sheer stupidity.

0:22:230:22:26

Stacey, I'm just passing on a message.

0:22:260:22:27

That is classic Ian, that is.

0:22:270:22:29

Over-reaching just to earn that little bit extra,

0:22:290:22:31

completely messing up,

0:22:310:22:32

then expecting everyone else to bail him out!

0:22:320:22:34

-You don't want me to tell him that.

-Tell him what you like.

0:22:340:22:36

I'm going to check on Lily!

0:22:360:22:39

-(Wow!)

-Right.

0:22:400:22:42

Hey.

0:22:490:22:50

Ben said you were here.

0:22:500:22:53

He seemed a bit off.

0:22:530:22:55

Yeah, well, that's life in the house of misery and pain.

0:22:550:22:58

Phil wants everyone out for Christmas

0:22:580:23:00

so he can sit at home and die on his own.

0:23:000:23:03

Sharon won't have that.

0:23:030:23:05

No doubt, but that place is bleak right now

0:23:050:23:08

and there's not even wine in the fridge to compensate.

0:23:080:23:11

You can always stay round ours a night if you need a break.

0:23:110:23:15

No, thanks.

0:23:150:23:17

Well, the offer still stands.

0:23:170:23:19

In the meantime, can you pick up the bridesmaid dresses tomorrow

0:23:190:23:22

and call the hotel, go over the lunch selections,

0:23:220:23:26

and make sure they've got the numbers right?

0:23:260:23:29

Yeah, OK.

0:23:290:23:30

-On Friday we're going to decorate the church for the nativity.

-Are we?

0:23:300:23:33

Mmm, unless you're too busy finishing Amy's costume?

0:23:330:23:36

-No, I'll have that done in no time.

-Good.

0:23:360:23:39

Right, I'm off to hunt down a DJ,

0:23:390:23:40

and, listen, don't let the hotel fob you off.

0:23:400:23:43

-Just assume they've got it all wrong.

-OK.

0:23:430:23:47

Mornings are always bad when you're ill.

0:23:510:23:54

He just said it in the heat of the moment. He didn't mean it.

0:23:540:23:56

He's not sitting in his present, though, is he? You are.

0:23:560:23:59

Anyway, we're supposed to be rehearsing.

0:23:590:24:01

Well, I've got my part nailed.

0:24:010:24:02

So, really, YOU should be rehearsing.

0:24:020:24:04

-Oh, right, yeah?

-Oh, yeah, that's it. Lay me down.

0:24:040:24:06

Stop messing with the chair. It's going back.

0:24:060:24:08

-After all the lugging about we did?!

-Dad doesn't want it?

-Ben!

0:24:080:24:12

Ben, can you come down here? I need to talk to you all.

0:24:120:24:15

All right, Rox. You not having a drink?

0:24:180:24:21

No, I've got to get home. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah.

0:24:210:24:24

Given you're all so busy before Christmas, I've booked us

0:24:260:24:29

a table at a very affordable restaurant on the 29th.

0:24:290:24:32

What, in the no-man's land between Christmas and New Year

0:24:320:24:35

when no-one ever does anything ever?

0:24:350:24:39

Good, well, I'm glad my exertions are appreciated.

0:24:390:24:42

Spread the word.

0:24:420:24:46

Dad, Whit said Mum don't want to do the grotto this year.

0:24:460:24:48

You all right, boy? Good day at the office?

0:24:480:24:50

Is that cos of the burglary?

0:24:500:24:52

Whatever it is, she's made her mind up.

0:24:520:24:54

It don't matter, cos we've got Jack's stag to look forward to

0:24:540:24:57

and that's going to be a right good old jolly-up, don't you worry.

0:24:570:25:00

It won't work. I know what you're doing and it won't work.

0:25:000:25:02

Erm, I have no idea what you're talking about.

0:25:020:25:05

You think all this talk of you boys getting drunk and lairy

0:25:050:25:07

is going to make me all fired up over Christmas,

0:25:070:25:09

but it won't work, right?

0:25:090:25:11

-I ain't in the mood.

-Gutted.

0:25:110:25:13

I'm gutted that you would think that of me.

0:25:130:25:16

(Idiot.)

0:25:160:25:18

I'll have her arranging grottos left, right and centre

0:25:180:25:21

by the end of the week.

0:25:210:25:23

So that's five for midday.

0:25:250:25:28

Yeah, that's right.

0:25:280:25:30

Great. Yeah. See you then.

0:25:300:25:33

-What's all this about a family meeting?

-Where's Ben?

0:25:330:25:36

-Ben!

-Yep. Just finishing my dinner.

0:25:360:25:39

Take a seat, Roxy.

0:25:390:25:42

Right, well, as you all know,

0:25:460:25:49

Phil's not that keen on Christmas this year,

0:25:490:25:52

so I've decided to respect this.

0:25:520:25:54

-So you're going to cancel it?

-No way?!

0:25:540:25:57

I found us a nice pub. Linda recommended it, actually.

0:25:570:26:01

-That was them on the phone. We're booked for midday.

-At a pub?

0:26:010:26:04

It's in Epping Forest.

0:26:040:26:06

I thought we could all go for a nice walk after in the snow.

0:26:060:26:09

-It's meant to be...

-I don't want to go to some pub!

0:26:090:26:12

I want to be with my dad. How can you do this?

0:26:120:26:15

-She don't want to go, does she?

-You never know, it might be nice.

0:26:150:26:18

-And that's it, end of discussion?

-Maybe he needs a breather, OK?

0:26:180:26:20

-There's always next year.

-That's the point, though.

0:26:200:26:23

We don't know that, do we?

0:26:230:26:26

That's why we should do what he wants. He's exhausted, Lou.

0:26:270:26:31

But he might get a transplant.

0:26:310:26:33

He doesn't want to sit around waiting for someone to die.

0:26:330:26:35

I need a shower.

0:26:350:26:37

What's the alternative, then, huh?

0:26:390:26:42

I mean, if we're not waiting for the phone to ring, what are we doing?

0:26:420:26:46

I've decided to accept the fact that your dad knows his mind

0:26:470:26:51

and he knows his body and that he might be right.

0:26:510:26:54

About it being his last Christmas?

0:26:540:26:56

It will be easier for your dad if we accept his situation.

0:26:560:26:58

No, no way!

0:26:580:27:00

You know, it would be good for us too, maybe.

0:27:000:27:03

Face up to the fact that he might not get a donor.

0:27:030:27:06

-Stop pretending.

-Stop talking like this!

0:27:060:27:09

You've given up on him and you've got no right.

0:27:100:27:13

-It's not your decision!

-No, it's not!

0:27:130:27:16

It's his and he's made it.

0:27:160:27:19
