# Here comes Santa Claus Here comes Santa Claus... #

0:00:400:00:43

'That's me, Paul Maddens, back in drama school.

0:00:430:00:46

'Yes, I look like an idiot.

0:00:460:00:48

'And there's my girlfriend, Jennifer.

0:00:480:00:52

'With our best mate, Gordon Shakespeare.

0:00:520:00:54

'We were the Three Amigos, with the world at our feet.'

0:00:540:00:59

# So jump in bed and cover your head

0:00:590:01:01

# Cos Santa Claus comes tonight. #

0:01:010:01:03

'Jennifer and her family always loved Christmas.

0:01:030:01:07

'And it was Jennifer who taught me to love it too.

0:01:070:01:10

'Gordon said he loved Christmas, but the only thing he truly loved

0:01:100:01:13

'was himself.'

0:01:130:01:15

I'm completely above this. It's pointless. Elf.

0:01:150:01:18

It's my last elf. I could be Father Christmas.

0:01:180:01:21

Why am I not Father Christmas?

0:01:210:01:23

I-I can't do this any more. It's ridiculous.

0:01:230:01:25

-You're good.

-There's no control being an actor.

0:01:250:01:28

You're doing what other people's ideas are.

0:01:280:01:30

I'd rather be in control, I don't know, like directing, producing.

0:01:300:01:35

-I think you should consider that.

-I will.

0:01:350:01:37

That's why I'm going to train as a primary school teacher.

0:01:370:01:39

LAUGHTER

0:01:390:01:41

-BOTH: Shush!

-Give it three years.

0:01:410:01:43

-If you're as bad as you are now, give up.

-At least try.

0:01:430:01:46

You know, those who can't act, teach.

0:01:460:01:48

BOTH: And those who can't teach, teach primary.

0:01:480:01:51

-Who says that?

-Nobody. It's a truism.

-It's... People say...

0:01:510:01:55

Five, six, seven, eight.

0:01:550:01:56

# Here comes Santa Claus Here comes Santa Claus... #

0:01:560:01:59

'And so that's what I did. I became a teacher.

0:01:590:02:02

'And Jennifer seemed really proud of me.

0:02:030:02:06

'As I was of her when she went to Hollywood and became a producer.

0:02:060:02:10

'As for Gordon,

0:02:100:02:12

'he became a teacher at the best private school in the city.

0:02:120:02:15

'His productions of the Nativity

0:02:150:02:17

'won the five-star review in the local paper.'

0:02:170:02:19

"Gordon Shakespeare's Three-Colour Trilogy

0:02:190:02:22

"has redefined Nativity, with its rainbow of talent

0:02:220:02:26

"that hangs over the city of Coventry

0:02:260:02:29

"like a blessed beacon.

0:02:290:02:31

"Five stars.

0:02:310:02:33

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph! What a performance!

0:02:330:02:36

"Paul Maddens' Nativity was abysmal.

0:02:360:02:40

"Minus two stars."

0:02:400:02:43

'And that's when I decided.

0:02:430:02:44

'I hated Christmas.'

0:02:440:02:46

MUSIC: "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by the Jackson 5

0:02:460:02:50

# Santa Claus is comin' to town

0:02:520:02:55

# Santa Claus is comin' to town You'd better watch out

0:02:550:02:59

# You'd better not cry... #

0:02:590:03:02

Sit down! Olly, that's you in detention for the week.

0:03:020:03:05

TJ, that's you in detention for the week.

0:03:050:03:09

And, also, TJ, that's your parents coming into school tomorrow.

0:03:090:03:13

Who's going to win the five-star review?

0:03:170:03:19

ALL CHANT: Us, us, us! Us, us, us! Us, us, us!

0:03:190:03:25

Us, us, us! Yeaaargh!

0:03:250:03:28

Who can spell "Bethlehem"? Go!

0:03:280:03:29

B-E-I-E...

0:03:290:03:31

No, next.

0:03:310:03:33

Olly.

0:03:330:03:34

B-E-L-T...

0:03:340:03:36

No! TJ.

0:03:360:03:38

-B-E-L-E...

-No!

0:03:380:03:40

Good morning, boys and girls.

0:03:430:03:45

ALL: Good morning, Mrs Bevan.

0:03:450:03:49

Here we are on the run-up to Christmas.

0:03:490:03:51

-CHILDREN: Yes!

-Isn't that exciting?

0:03:510:03:54

Now, last year, Mrs Spink did the Nativity play

0:03:540:03:57

and, if you remember,

0:03:570:03:59

she got upset and started shouting a lot and crying.

0:03:590:04:04

And some of you, I remember, were crying with her.

0:04:040:04:06

So, we are going to have to find a new person.

0:04:060:04:10

This year, to make the best Nativity play that has ever, ever been...

0:04:100:04:15

is Mr Maddens.

0:04:150:04:16

-APPLAUSE

-Yes.

0:04:160:04:18

# We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas

0:04:180:04:21

# We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy year

0:04:210:04:25

# We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas

0:04:250:04:29

# We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy year

0:04:290:04:32

CRESCENDO: # A happy new year

# A happy new year... #

0:04:420:04:46

THEY SING IN THE ROUND

0:04:460:04:49

You have the talent and training.

0:04:570:04:59

-I think it's a wonderful thing.

-I barely have the training.

0:04:590:05:02

I did three years of drama... SHE SIGHS

0:05:020:05:04

-I wasn't very good.

-Yes, I know.

0:05:040:05:06

-It...

-Now, let's move on.

0:05:060:05:08

When are you going to start the casting?

0:05:080:05:10

These children are literally useless.

0:05:100:05:13

I am literally useless. Please don't make me do this.

0:05:130:05:16

Think about Oakmoor. Think about how they always steal all the reviews.

0:05:160:05:20

We agreed four years ago that after my disastrous attempt

0:05:200:05:24

to direct the Nativity, I wouldn't do it again.

0:05:240:05:27

Make this a good one.

0:05:270:05:28

Make this a fabulous last Nativity play for me

0:05:280:05:31

and then I retire and you won't have to put up with me any more.

0:05:310:05:34

Oh, and you've got a classroom assistant starting today sometime.

0:05:340:05:37

HE SIGHS Thank you.

0:05:370:05:41

That will help with the wear and tear and stress.

0:05:410:05:44

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:05:570:05:58

'Tell us clearly and concisely'

0:06:000:06:03

what happened at Christmas, if you think you're so clever.

0:06:030:06:05

Joseph got together with Mary

0:06:050:06:07

and Mary went to Bethlehem to have a baby. Um...

0:06:070:06:10

She has a baby, Jesus. A couple of years later, about 30 years later,

0:06:100:06:14

-he dies on the cross and then...

-Go and sit down.

0:06:140:06:17

LAUGHTER Go and sit down.

0:06:170:06:19

That was almost blasphemy.

0:06:190:06:21

'Here's to a five-star review'

0:06:210:06:23

of the St Bernadette's Nativity, directed by Paul Maddens. Cheers.

0:06:230:06:26

ALL: Cheers!

0:06:260:06:28

CHILDREN: # When Suzy was a child

0:06:310:06:34

# A child Suzy was She said

0:06:340:06:36

# "Miss, miss, I can't get this!

0:06:430:06:44

-Mr Poppy.

-Yes, what are you doing here, Mr Poppy?

-Oh, I'm...

0:06:440:06:47

I'm your teaching assistant.

0:06:470:06:49

Remember, please keep it neat. Dan, are you having trouble there?

0:06:520:06:56

How are you getting on, Frazer?

0:06:560:06:58

You know you don't have to put your hand up to talk to me.

0:07:020:07:04

I thought we were supposed to be doing a play.

0:07:040:07:06

-We are.

-Everyone's just sitting around.

0:07:060:07:08

This isn't the rehearsal for the play.

0:07:080:07:11

This is a creative writing class. It's a different thing.

0:07:110:07:13

Who wants to do a play?

0:07:130:07:15

-ALL:

-Me!

-Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me!

0:07:150:07:18

-Move the tables to one side.

-No! Keep the tables where you are.

0:07:180:07:21

Alfie! Alfie, TJ, put the tables back.

0:07:210:07:25

The next person to move their table

0:07:250:07:28

will be in detention for the entire term.

MAKES ZAPPING AND WHOOSHING NOISES

0:08:080:08:12

I just wanted to check something.

0:08:130:08:15

Can I say, I really enjoyed today, thank you very much.

0:08:150:08:18

You're welcome. You haven't done this before, have you?

0:08:180:08:21

Er, I've done stuff like it.

0:08:210:08:23

Classroom assistant?

0:08:230:08:25

-Nope.

-No. I just wanted to check that.

0:08:250:08:27

Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow at 8.15?

0:08:270:08:29

-D'you want to come for a sausage sizzler?

-Sorry?

0:08:290:08:33

Young's, the newsagent, they do sausages with tomato ketchup

0:08:330:08:36

in a roll with a sausage. They're only £1.50.

0:08:360:08:39

D'you want to maybe share one and we could hang out at the park?

0:08:390:08:43

I'll introduce you to Tom, Stinky Tom. He's funny.

0:08:430:08:45

I'm a bit busy. I shan't be doing that tonight. Thank you.

0:08:450:08:48

# A merry, merry Christmas for all the girls and boys?

0:09:040:09:06

Come here. Hello!

0:09:060:09:08

Ooh, right on me kippers. Oh, Cracker!

0:09:080:09:11

Cracker. "You hardly know me!"

0:09:110:09:14

Cracker, Cracker.

0:09:140:09:16

Where you going, you mental dog?

0:09:160:09:18

HE HUMS A TUNE

THUD, SHRIEKING

0:09:520:09:53

Help me, Mr Maddens!

0:09:530:09:55

This man is an idiot. He's an actual village idiot.

0:09:570:09:59

If this was a village, he would be the idiot.

0:09:590:10:03

He's not a classroom assistant, he's an absolute calamitous fool.

0:10:030:10:06

But he'll be a big help with the play.

0:10:060:10:08

The play that I don't care about?

0:10:080:10:11

The play that brings the children away from learning to read and write?

0:10:110:10:14

Great(!) Big whoopee(!) I've got an oaf helping my children to fail.

0:10:140:10:18

-Thanks(!)

-This is getting personal.

0:10:180:10:19

-Who's that?

-Who's what?

-What's that?

0:10:190:10:22

-That's a photograph of me and Mr Poppy.

-Why?

0:10:220:10:26

-He is my sister's son.

-Mm-hm.

0:10:260:10:28

CHILDREN SHOUT

0:10:330:10:35

Mr Poppy!

0:10:390:10:41

Mr Poppy! Sit...

0:10:410:10:43

Sit down.

0:10:430:10:45

Sit down. Be quiet!

0:10:450:10:46

Sit down, now!

0:10:460:10:48

Why is Mr Maddens such a grumpy grumps?

0:10:520:10:55

His girlfriend left him at Christmas time.

0:10:550:10:58

-Where's his girlfriend now?

-In America.

0:10:590:11:02

America! How cool is that?

0:11:020:11:04

It is cool, but it's a long way away from here.

0:11:040:11:08

Can we keep it down over there, please?

0:11:080:11:10

-Bagsy drive the van!

-You can't drive, I've got the...

0:11:130:11:16

-Nothing overrules the rules of bagsy.

-Mr Poppy.

0:11:160:11:19

-I'm insured to drive the van.

-Auntie Pat said I could drive.

0:11:190:11:23

-Can you drive?

-Yeah.

0:11:230:11:25

-Come on, jump in.

-TOOTS HORN

0:11:250:11:28

-What about Gabriel comes in on a death slide.

-What's a death slide?

0:11:280:11:32

One of those things... Zoom! You just go down on two hands.

0:11:320:11:35

I don't think health and safety for children

0:11:350:11:37

-will involve the death slide in a Nativity play.

-OK.

0:11:370:11:39

-What about no donkey?

-Please...

-What about a BMX with trick pegs?

0:11:390:11:42

This is a Roman Catholic school.

0:11:420:11:44

We're not going to replace a donkey with a trick-peg BMX.

0:11:440:11:48

-I don't even know that that is!

-We can do it.

0:11:480:11:51

-If we just work together.

-Sorry?

-Like Webber and Rice.

0:11:510:11:54

Posh and Becks. Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. You and me.

0:11:540:11:57

-I think maybe this one.

-No!

0:11:570:11:59

-The big one.

-It's not going to fit. And how are we going to carry it?

0:11:590:12:03

I don't believe it!

0:12:030:12:05

-Paul Maddens.

-Gordon Shakespeare.

0:12:050:12:07

How are you doing, my man?

0:12:070:12:10

-Great to see you.

-And you.

-Where've you been?

0:12:110:12:15

Just five years at St Bernadette's.

0:12:150:12:16

But you were going to be the star, the man.

0:12:160:12:20

-Was I?

-Yeah!

-I never thought that.

0:12:200:12:21

We all did and then it...all went.

0:12:210:12:24

Now you're down the road. How is it down there at St B's?

0:12:240:12:27

Goodness me, what a challenge.

0:12:270:12:28

Slowly, that dreadful school is dragging itself up.

0:12:280:12:33

How's Jennifer? Have you...?

0:12:330:12:35

-Do you speak to her?

-Still quite good friends with her.

0:12:350:12:38

-So, you still keep in touch with her?

-Yeah, yeah.

0:12:380:12:41

-Even though she's Hollywood side.

-Goodness me. Didn't she do well?

0:12:410:12:44

-She's now a producer.

-I know.

0:12:440:12:46

If you think I'm talented, well, she's just gone to another level.

0:12:460:12:50

-Way above me and-and... clearly, you.

-Clearly.

0:12:500:12:55

In fact, if you want to see how the other half lives

0:12:550:12:57

and see where it really happens in the right way,

0:12:570:13:01

just come along to our Christmas bazaar. We're doing a showcase.

0:13:010:13:03

-The talent.

-I'm sure.

-Amazing.

0:13:030:13:06

-It's worth a look. Take it, come along.

-Thank you.

0:13:060:13:08

-What are you doing?

-I'm doing the Nativity again.

0:13:080:13:11

-Perhaps I can come and see yours.

-Yes. You won't be alone.

0:13:110:13:13

Actually, Jennifer's coming.

0:13:130:13:16

-She's coming over to the UK?

-Yeah, she going to come and see the, er...

0:13:160:13:20

Why would she want to do that?

0:13:200:13:22

Because she's going to bring most of her agency with her.

0:13:220:13:25

Hollywood are coming to St Bernadette's?

0:13:250:13:28

-Yes.

-To see your show?

-Yes.

0:13:280:13:31

-To film your show?

-Yeah.

-Make a film out of it?

0:13:310:13:34

Yeah.

0:13:340:13:36

And a book.

0:13:360:13:37

HE SINGS

0:13:370:13:40

Come on, come on. Come close.

0:13:510:13:53

This is... Come in, come in, gather round.

0:13:530:13:57

I've got something to tell you.

0:13:570:13:59

I'm not supposed to tell you

0:13:590:14:01

but someone twisted my arm and I have to tell you.

0:14:010:14:04

I've just been to get the Christmas tree and I heard Mr Maddens say

a big Hollywood production film thing company are coming here

0:14:070:14:13

to see our Nativity.

0:14:130:14:15

But it's not a Nativity.

0:14:150:14:17

It's Nativity, the musical, in 3-D, with 5-D sound

0:14:170:14:21

-and we're all going to be famous.

-ALL SHOUT

0:14:210:14:23

Sh! Sh! Sh! This is big stuff, all right?

0:14:260:14:29

Zack, I mean, you could end up being Zac Efron.

0:14:290:14:33

-Yes!

-And you.

0:14:330:14:34

-You could be Shrek.

-LAUGHTER

0:14:340:14:37

-And you, Bob.

-What?

0:14:370:14:39

You're like a little Gollum, or something,

0:14:390:14:41

like a little creature in something.

0:14:410:14:43

We're going to be super-famous because Hollywood are coming!

0:14:430:14:46

CHEERING

0:14:510:14:55

Ooh!

Aargh!

0:14:570:14:59

With me now are the real stars of the film,

0:14:590:15:02

the pupils of St Bernadette's School.

0:15:020:15:04

You must be excited.

0:15:040:15:06

-Very excited, aren't we, children?

-ALL: Yes!

0:15:060:15:09

CRACKER WHINES Wait. Wait.

0:15:090:15:12

We only heard this morning that Hollywood are coming

0:15:120:15:15

to see our Nativity play. We can hardly believe it.

0:15:150:15:18

Sit down, please. Sit, Cracker.

0:15:180:15:21

I'm Mr Poppy and I am the co-director, co-writer, co-producer.

0:15:210:15:27

0:15:380:15:40

-Well done, Paul.

-PAUL WHISTLES

0:15:490:15:53

We don't want to be late for PE.

0:15:530:15:55

Well done, congratulations, Mr Maddens.

0:15:550:15:58

We can... There you are. Goodness, at last.

0:16:020:16:06

This is Darren from the local newspaper. Mr Maddens.

0:16:060:16:09

-Nice to meet you.

-Come on, this way.

-Sorry?

-Yeah. They've been waiting.

0:16:090:16:12

I've told Darren everything I know, but I don't know very much.

0:16:120:16:16

It's wonderful you're back in touch with her.

0:16:160:16:19

There you are. After you.

0:16:190:16:21

CHEERING AND CHANTING

0:16:210:16:23

Thank you. Good morning, boys and girls. Good morning, teachers.

0:16:290:16:34

Good morning. Good morning, gentlemen of the press.

0:16:340:16:38

And local news team.

0:16:380:16:41

As you can see, children, it's very exciting.

0:16:410:16:44

The whole of the town is buzzing with the news

0:16:440:16:47

that St Bernadette's is going to get a visitor from Hollywood.

0:16:470:16:53

Three cheers for Mr Maddens. Hip, hip.

0:16:530:16:55

ALL: Hurray!

0:16:550:16:57

-Hip, hip.

-Hurray!

-Hip, hip.

-Hurray!

0:16:570:17:01

Mrs Bevan. Boys and girls...

0:17:010:17:04

I'm sorry, cos there's obviously been some misunderstanding

0:17:070:17:10

because yesterday I said, in front of Mr Poppy,

0:17:100:17:15

that we were going to have a visit from Hollywood.

0:17:150:17:18

And I'm only sorry, cos it's not happening right now!

0:17:250:17:28

CHEERING

0:17:280:17:31

I didn't tell you, I told Gordon Shakespeare.

0:17:400:17:42

It wasn't even for your ears. D'you understand me?!

0:17:420:17:46

-You were eavesdropping.

-What does it matter...?

-Be quiet!

0:17:460:17:48

It's obviously a lie.

0:17:480:17:50

-Yeah, but...

-Hollywood coming to the school? How?

0:17:500:17:53

It's a lie! It's not true. I made it up.

0:17:530:17:56

You have messed up, right?

0:17:590:18:01

It's up to you to face your responsibility

0:18:010:18:03

and go out there and tell them it's a lie.

0:18:030:18:05

CHEERING

0:18:080:18:10

Yeah!

0:18:110:18:13

Call your girlfriend and get the Hollywood people across.

0:18:160:18:20

One problem. She's not my girlfriend.

0:18:200:18:23

I don't know her number. I don't know where she is.

0:18:230:18:26

-I was making all of that up...

-Family! Has she got any family?

0:18:260:18:30

She's got parents, yes.

0:18:300:18:33

-Do you have any pets?

-I have a dog.

0:18:330:18:35

-Used to be hers.

-Brilliant!

0:18:350:18:37

Go round there and say,

0:18:370:18:38

"The dog's died, I need her number. I should tell her in person."

0:18:380:18:42

-The dog's died?

-Yeah.

-How's the dog died?

0:18:420:18:45

It blew up. The dog blew up.

0:18:450:18:48

They won't ask. You wouldn't ask. I wouldn't ask.

0:18:490:18:53

Ugh. They'd just think, "Oh," and get the number.

0:18:530:18:56

We need those five stars.

0:19:050:19:08

I need you all to be stars to get those stars.

0:19:080:19:10

We need something edgier, more dangerous, something darker.

0:19:100:19:14

Something the RSC do every year.

0:19:140:19:16

Tripping around and, bang, they hit you with something enormous.

0:19:160:19:19

That's what we should be doing. Something European, strange, exotic.

0:19:190:19:23

Something the Americans don't understand, but love!

0:19:230:19:25

That's it. I know, we could have Herod.

0:19:250:19:29

King... He's never done, is he?

0:19:290:19:30

Herod's never done.

0:19:300:19:32

Ever. That's it. Wonderful. We could have Herod.

0:19:320:19:35

He could be like an opera.

0:19:350:19:37

This dark shape brooding in the back, coming forward onto the stage.

0:19:370:19:41

Singing his heart out, his lungs.

0:19:410:19:43

Craving for their minds, and blood and body of children.

0:19:430:19:46

That's what we want. Who's going to be my Herod?

0:19:460:19:49

Thank you, lovely. Anything else you'd like to show us?

0:20:020:20:05

-SHE BURPS:

-A, B, C...

-That's good.

0:20:050:20:09

# You mean I've been dancing on the floor, darling

0:20:090:20:14

# And I feel like I need some more

0:20:140:20:17

# And I feel your body close to mine

0:20:170:20:20

# And I... # Oh.

0:20:200:20:23

# Cos I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby

0:20:230:20:29

# Listen to Iron Maiden, baby

0:20:290:20:32

# With me... #

0:20:320:20:34

# I was going on a hillside

0:20:340:20:37

# On a hillside

0:20:370:20:41

# I was going on a hillside

0:20:410:20:42

# On a hillside... #

0:20:420:20:45

# Oh, Danny boy

0:20:520:20:56

# The pipes The pipes are calling... #

0:20:560:21:02

What would you like to play?

0:21:070:21:08

I know you won't let me, but I really want to be Joseph.

0:21:080:21:11

OK, in your own time.

0:21:110:21:14

-Careful.

-Wow.

0:21:160:21:18

HE GRUNTS

0:21:250:21:27

-You're through to the next round!

-There's no next round.

0:21:270:21:31

-The Hollywood round!

-There's no Hollywood round.

0:21:310:21:33

Please can I go to Hollywood? Please, please, please.

0:21:330:21:35

Hollywood, Bob, are going to love it.

0:21:350:21:38

Yeah! Ooh!

0:21:380:21:41

I can't do it. Can we take five for a moment, please? I've got to...

0:21:410:21:44

Excuse me. HE SIGHS

0:21:440:21:48

Keep going, it's good. It's really good.

0:21:500:21:53

Paul.

0:21:550:21:56

-Paul.

-Hello, Father.

-Paul!

0:21:560:21:58

-Just popped in to congratulate you. Well done.

-Thank you!

0:21:580:22:01

-Oh, it's great news.

-Thank you much.

0:22:010:22:04

-Well done.

-Father, could I ask your advice?

0:22:040:22:07

I've just had a query from one of the children in the auditions.

0:22:070:22:13

I'm not sure how to advise them. They're worried about...lying.

0:22:130:22:16

I think one of them's told a lie.

0:22:160:22:18

We all know there's such a thing as a little white lie

0:22:180:22:21

and there's a black Protestant lie, which is more serious.

0:22:210:22:25

I don't think so. A lie is a lie is a lie.

0:22:250:22:29

Technically?

0:22:290:22:30

-What d'you mean, "technically"?

-Well...

0:22:300:22:32

You know. "Is that a nice meal?" "Yes, Mrs Johnson, lovely."

0:22:320:22:35

Even though you're feeling sick, you don't want to hurt her feelings.

0:22:350:22:38

-It's still a lie, isn't it?

-I'm not going to be punished for it.

0:22:380:22:42

Please, God, I'm not going to be punished.

0:22:420:22:44

But if you picked the woman up on her bad cooking,

0:22:440:22:47

the next time, you might get a decent meal.

0:22:470:22:49

Ee-aw, ee-aw! Ee-aw, ee-aw!

0:23:000:23:04

-Mrs Bevan.

-Ah.

-Thank you so much.

0:23:060:23:09

-Can I have a quick word?

-My phone is ringing off the hook.

0:23:090:23:11

-Can I grab you for a minute?

-Of course.

0:23:110:23:15

Word has got out about the Hollywood connection

0:23:150:23:17

-and parents are ringing.

-I...

-They want to know why, how, when.

0:23:170:23:20

-I can save time with that.

-Wait. This is the cherry on the cake.

0:23:200:23:24

The Lord Mayor's office has rung and they want you

0:23:240:23:26

-to go to a big reception for Coventry ambassadors.

-No!

0:23:260:23:30

-Yes, they do!

-No!

0:23:300:23:32

There'll be drinks.

0:23:320:23:34

I don't think I can go.

0:23:340:23:35

-I've accepted on your behalf.

-Have you?

-Yes, you've got to come.

0:23:350:23:38

-PHONE RINGS

-I've got to go. Phone!

-Mrs Bevan.

0:23:380:23:40

-Mrs...

-That'll be somebody else. See you soon, bye-bye.

0:23:400:23:43

DOORBELL RINGS

0:23:550:23:57

-PAUL MUTTERS

-You.

0:23:590:24:02

I wonder if I might come in.

0:24:030:24:06

-I think you should come in.

-Thank you.

-Come on.

0:24:060:24:09

You'd better sit down, Paul.

0:24:180:24:20

I've heard of some things in my life, Paul,

0:24:200:24:23

but to take a dog, called Cracker, and then to put explosives in it

0:24:230:24:27

and blow it apart like a cracker,

0:24:270:24:29

I think common parlance is "the pits".

0:24:290:24:32

Wait till Jennifer hears.

0:24:320:24:35

She'll probably be sitting there in her heart-shaped pool,

0:24:350:24:38

sipping her Cristal champagne, which Harrison has bought her.

0:24:380:24:41

That's her new boyfriend, by the way.

0:24:410:24:44

New boyfriend, you understand that?

0:24:440:24:46

Not the old boyfriend who blows dogs to smithereens.

0:24:460:24:49

BICYCLE BELL DINGS Excuse me.

0:24:530:24:55

-What did she say?

-I haven't spoken to her yet.

0:24:590:25:01

-When are you going to phone her?

-I'll phone her

0:25:010:25:03

when I've got time and when I've discovered, realised,

0:25:030:25:06

worked out what I'm going to say.

0:25:060:25:08

Phone her. Why don't you want to phone her?

0:25:080:25:10

A, because I'm working. These are books that I'm marking.

0:25:100:25:13

I understand. You were going out with her for a long time.

0:25:130:25:17

You loved her, she loved you. It went wrong.

0:25:170:25:20

You feel butterfly feelings in your tummy when you go to call.

0:25:200:25:23

I understand that. You need to take a big daddy breath,

0:25:230:25:27

pick up the phone, dial the number and say hello.

0:25:270:25:30

I don't know what you think is going on.

0:25:300:25:32

It baffles me that you think I'm hung up over a woman

0:25:320:25:35

I've not seen for five years. I'm not.

0:25:350:25:37

I see a man who's scared and frightened and angry.

0:25:370:25:41

I'm frightened of you, because I've never met one of you before.

0:25:410:25:44

I'm terrified because I don't know what you or I am going to do.

0:25:440:25:48

I can help you mend your heart, Mr Maddens.

0:25:480:25:50

DOOR SLAMS

0:25:510:25:53

Open the door.

0:25:530:25:56

-Did you just slam that door?

-No.

-Close it properly, please.

0:25:560:26:00

# Love will appear

0:26:390:26:43

Hello.

0:26:430:26:44

SIGHS WITH ANNOYANCE

0:26:440:26:47

# Maybe this Christmas... #

0:26:470:26:50

I was very impressed with the auditions.

0:26:560:26:59

Thank you very much.

0:26:590:27:00

I thought there was a wonderful array of talent on display.

0:27:000:27:03

So, you can all be proud of yourselves.

0:27:030:27:05

Because there is a wonderful array of talent on display,

0:27:050:27:08

I've no doubt you can handle this song, which is quite advanced. OK.

0:27:080:27:12

# Things are going well in Nazareth

0:27:120:27:16

# Our city is full of joy... #

0:27:160:27:19

Right, and that goes into... PIANO INTRO

0:27:190:27:22

Do you have to do that?

0:27:220:27:23

-So, fine.

-That sounds good, doesn't it?

0:27:230:27:26

Yes. So, right, so we've got...

0:27:260:27:29

-# Things are going well...

-Things are really cool

0:27:290:27:31

-# In Nazareth

-In Nazareth

0:27:310:27:34

# Our city is full of joy... # Shush.

0:27:340:27:36

BOTH SING: # Cos this is where girl meets boy

0:27:360:27:38

-# In Nazareth

-Our city is full of joy... #

0:27:380:27:42

-That's it.

-Try it.

-CHILDREN:

-# Things are really cool

0:27:420:27:46

# In Nazareth

0:27:460:27:49

# Our city is full of joy

0:27:490:27:53

# Cos this is where girl meets boy... #

0:27:530:27:55

Who thinks my song is better?

0:27:550:27:58

Anyone?

0:27:580:28:00

This is far more linear. It's very dirge-like.

0:28:000:28:03

Mine is actually...influenced more by Sondheim. But...

0:28:030:28:08

OK. Who prefers Mr Poppy's song?

0:28:080:28:11

Black. Imagine darkness. A black-out.

0:28:120:28:15

The audience thinks, "What's going to happen?"

0:28:150:28:18

And some of the children, maybe six or seven, come on here

0:28:180:28:22

on that, "de-de-de-de-de-de", toe-heel.

0:28:220:28:26

Over here, some more children. De-de-de. So you get this big cross.

0:28:260:28:29

At the back, as the cross opens up, we see the city of Nazareth.

0:28:290:28:33

The children turn round. They've got cut-outs of the city.

0:28:330:28:36

It comes together. There's windows and lights shining through

0:28:360:28:39

and people going, "Hello", through the little windows.

0:28:390:28:43

Mr Poppy. These children will never be able to do that.

0:28:430:28:46

-Yes, they will.

-We're useless.

0:28:460:28:48

-Everyone knows we're useless.

-You're not useless.

0:28:480:28:51

-That's what Mr Maddens calls us.

-No, I don't.

0:28:510:28:54

-GIRLS:

-Yes, you do.

-No, I don't.

0:28:540:28:56

-Shush.

-You told Mrs Bevan that we are.

0:28:560:28:59

-Who told you that?

-Sam, she heard you.

0:28:590:29:02

You did say we were useless.

0:29:020:29:05

I didn't mean useless. I didn't mean useless.

0:29:050:29:08

But they will never be able to do that.

0:29:080:29:11

Yeah, they will.

0:29:110:29:13

Anything we can do, Oakmoor can do ten times better.

0:29:130:29:17

Olly, Oakmoor, Shmoakmore.

0:29:170:29:19

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba.

0:29:190:29:22

The final scene of the play is a really, really important scene.

0:29:220:29:26

Do you know what happens at the end of the Nativity?

0:29:260:29:29

-Baby Jesus is born.

-Baby Jesus is born.

0:29:290:29:33

Right. Who fancies going on a little field trip

0:29:330:29:36

to actually see a real baby being born?

0:29:360:29:41

Here you are! I've been looking for you, my class. What are we all doing?

0:29:410:29:44

We're talking about going on a field trip to see a baby being born.

0:29:440:29:48

-What d'you mean?

-It'd be good to do a few field trips.

0:29:480:29:50

-Go to a farm and see animals.

-CHILDREN AGREE

0:29:500:29:53

It'd be cool for you to see the animals that come to the manger.

0:29:530:29:56

Thank you. Can we come in, please?

0:29:560:29:58

Enough silliness about babies being born. It's not going to happen.

0:29:580:30:02

How can they be convincing if they've not seen a baby being born?

0:30:020:30:05

It's called pretending. It's what every child

0:30:050:30:08

in every Nativity does every year.

0:30:080:30:09

You can't pretend something, unless you've experienced it.

0:30:090:30:12

I pretend to like you and I've yet to experience that.

0:30:120:30:15

Who wants to see a baby being born?

0:30:150:30:16

-ALL:

-Me!

0:30:160:30:20

SCREAMING

0:30:340:30:36

BABY CRIES

0:30:380:30:41

Piglets!

0:30:540:30:56

Hello, everybody, I'd like to welcome you

0:31:040:31:07

to our annual Christmas bazaar at Oakmoor School.

0:31:070:31:10

As you know, Christmas is a time for giving,

0:31:100:31:12

a time for charity

0:31:120:31:14

and valuing those people less fortunate than ourselves.

0:31:140:31:18

So, in that spirit, I'd like to welcome the students

0:31:180:31:21

from St Bernadette's School.

0:31:210:31:23

# Ding dong merrily on high

0:31:260:31:30

-# In heaven the bells are ringing

-Ding dong

0:31:300:31:34

-# Ding dong verily the sky

-Ooh ooh

0:31:340:31:37

# Is riven with angels singing... #

0:31:370:31:41

MULTIPLE HARMONIES

0:31:410:31:42

# Gloria

0:31:420:31:50

# Hosanna in excelsis. #

0:31:500:31:54

APPLAUSE

0:31:540:31:56

That was good.

0:31:560:31:57

-They look beautiful.

-I know. We're never going to beat them.

0:32:050:32:09

Ooh.

0:32:170:32:19

That one's good, isn't he?

0:32:210:32:23

HE SCOFFS

0:32:260:32:27

HE GIGGLES

0:32:310:32:34

APPLAUSE

0:32:350:32:37

How are we, are we all right? Are we ready to give it a go?

0:32:440:32:48

We know it a little bit.

0:32:480:32:50

Listen, this doesn't matter. It's not a test.

0:32:500:32:52

You don't have to get this right.

0:32:520:32:54

This is something we do cos we enjoy it. We enjoy singing.

0:32:540:32:57

Just to give us an idea of a Mary and Joseph.

0:32:570:33:00

OK? Mr Poppy, if you would, please.

0:33:000:33:02

Two, three.

0:33:020:33:04

# He's not my type

0:33:040:33:08

# She's not too bad

0:33:080:33:13

# Not the most gorgeous I've ever had

0:33:130:33:20

# And yet there's something

0:33:200:33:23

# Behind those eyes

0:33:230:33:27

# A fire that flickers... #

0:33:270:33:32

ALL SHOUT

0:33:320:33:33

CYMBALS CRASH

0:33:350:33:37

What's going on?

0:33:390:33:40

Olly and Alfie, did I see you fighting?

0:33:420:33:44

Why were you fighting?

0:33:460:33:49

He said I'd be rubbish at Joseph

0:33:490:33:51

and I'll never make it in the school play

0:33:510:33:53

and if I do, I would let the school down.

0:33:530:33:56

Alfie, who made you director?

0:33:560:33:58

No-one. But...but he hit me.

0:33:580:34:01

Alfie, it's not down to you who's going to be rubbish or good

0:34:010:34:06

or who'll let the school down.

0:34:060:34:07

You've just let the school down, and so have you, Olly.

0:34:070:34:11

You both want to try out for Joseph?

0:34:110:34:12

-Yes, Mr Maddens.

-Yeah? Neither of you are going to. Sit down.

0:34:120:34:17

I knew you'd never let me!

0:34:170:34:19

Jade. Do you want to try for Mary?

0:34:230:34:26

-Olly.

-Yes, Mr Maddens.

-Take your feet of the seat.

0:34:260:34:30

-Try for Joseph. Come on.

-Thank you, Mr Maddens.

0:34:350:34:38

# I'll grow to love her

0:34:400:34:42

# It might work out

0:34:420:34:46

# Too young to know

0:34:460:34:49

# What it's all about... #

0:34:490:34:53

This one I'm quite excited about, but it's a bit of a risk.

0:34:530:34:56

It could go either way. If you don't like it, you can just say.

0:34:560:35:00

Er... What...? Hang on. What's down here?

0:35:000:35:03

Oh, I think I've just found...

0:35:030:35:07

What's...? DOOR CLOSES

0:35:070:35:09

# Together, for ever

0:35:130:35:17

# And always home

0:35:170:35:22

-# Together... #

-Other hand.

0:35:220:35:23

# For ever and always

0:35:230:35:27

# Always home. #

0:35:270:35:31

And kiss.

0:35:310:35:33

-BOTH:

-And no.

-They don't have to kiss.

-Yes.

0:35:330:35:37

-No, Mr Poppy.

-What about a cuddle?

-Jade, Olly. Come here.

0:35:370:35:40

Sit here.

0:35:400:35:41

-That was excellent.

-Thank you.

0:35:440:35:45

-You've got a beautiful voice.

-Thank you.

0:35:450:35:47

And, Olly.

0:35:470:35:50

That was really good.

0:35:500:35:52

Thank you, Mr Maddens.

0:35:520:35:53

So, what was all that about earlier?

0:35:530:35:56

-Alfie got on my nerves.

-But do you see what I'm saying to you?

0:35:560:36:00

I don't care if someone's getting on your nerves, you don't fight.

0:36:000:36:02

People think you're a bad lad. Maybe you're not.

0:36:020:36:05

The more bad things you do,

0:36:050:36:07

people have you marked down as that.

0:36:070:36:09

You've got talent and you let yourself down by being silly.

0:36:090:36:13

There are only so many conversations I can have about that.

0:36:130:36:17

Only so many times I can tell you off. Do you understand?

0:36:170:36:20

You don't want to be told off by me. It's boring. I hate doing it.

0:36:200:36:23

It's really boring for me as well.

0:36:230:36:26

If you could show me more of what you've shown me there,

0:36:260:36:30

you could be great in this show.

0:36:300:36:32

-So, can I be Joseph, Mr Maddens?

-We don't know that yet.

0:36:320:36:35

Boy band, all right.

0:36:350:36:37

I'm thinking I can see my boy band here.

0:36:370:36:40

I'm thinking this is the boy band, but we've got to whittle it down.

0:36:400:36:44

-Without TJ.

-Buddy? No TJ.

0:36:440:36:46

-Why?

-I think he'd be a cool Gabriel.

-OK.

0:36:460:36:49

He's in my Gabriel pile.

0:36:490:36:51

How will we whittle it down?

0:36:510:36:53

We've got to lose two.

0:36:530:36:55

-Good dancer. Zack is a great dancer.

-He should definitely be in it.

0:36:550:36:59

-Matt?

-Spiky hair and a good dancer.

0:36:590:37:01

Right, spiky hair, he's a good dancer.

0:37:010:37:04

Plus, he's eye-candy for the girls.

0:37:040:37:05

I don't think we need to bother ourselves with that. He's 11.

0:37:050:37:08

Have you seen the looks he gets in the playground?

0:37:080:37:11

-I don't look for those.

-All these girls are like...

0:37:110:37:13

Good. OK, well...

0:37:130:37:14

-He doesn't walk around the playground, he struts.

-Erm...

0:37:140:37:18

-Bobby!

-Good morning, Mr Poppy.

0:37:180:37:21

I'm feeling a bit upset because I haven't got the part in the show.

0:37:210:37:26

How do you know that? We're just working it out.

0:37:260:37:29

-Bob, what do you want to be?

-I want to be king.

-Bob...

0:37:290:37:32

# She's the brightest star I've ever seen... #

0:37:320:37:35

-Throw some shapes.

-INDISTINCT SINGING

0:37:350:37:38

# ..She shines down the light

0:37:430:37:45

# And she's gonna be my girl and me her boy... #

0:37:450:37:50

Is there room for a little one?

0:37:500:37:52

-Hm. Yeah.

-You're through.

0:37:520:37:54

Get in there, baby, get in.

0:37:540:37:56

Thank you, Bob.

0:37:560:37:58

Chin up.

0:37:580:38:00

Things are moving apace a little bit with this Hollywood business.

0:38:010:38:06

If they go down the road before they come here, it'll be disastrous.

0:38:060:38:09

It's the end of everything. We'll be washed up by the age of ten.

0:38:090:38:13

We need to find Jennifer Law,

0:38:130:38:14

who's this executive producer - she works in one of the major studios.

0:38:140:38:19

I need somebody to go online to find out where she is.

0:38:190:38:22

I want her contacted.

0:38:220:38:24

We need to find out exactly what they're doing in their show.

0:38:240:38:27

-ALL: Yes, Mr Shakespeare.

-We can see what their show's like,

0:38:270:38:31

see what they've got going on, then we can top it.

0:38:310:38:33

We beat them. If their show's big, we make ours bigger.

0:38:330:38:36

SHOUTING

0:38:360:38:38

We're going to do a warm-up

0:38:440:38:45

because it's very important before we do strenuous rehearsals or activity,

0:38:450:38:50

that we are warm our bodies and our minds up.

0:38:500:38:53

Minds are equally important to warm up as our bodies.

0:38:530:38:56

-Hi, Mr Poppy.

-Hi.

0:38:560:38:57

We're going to do a gentle warm-up. You can join us, if you like.

0:38:570:39:00

I've got some music. I prepared a warm-up.

0:39:000:39:03

A little dance. We're going to limber up.

0:39:030:39:05

Copy what I do. And you, Mr Maddens.

0:39:050:39:08

MUSIC: "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5

0:39:080:39:11

-Ho, ho, ho.

# Ooh-hoo

# When I had you to myself I didn't want you around

-CHILDREN SHOUT

-Mr Maddens, it's the freak.

0:40:180:40:21

Cry God for Harry, England and St George!

0:40:230:40:30

-Come on.

-SHOUTING

0:40:300:40:33

-SHE LAUGHS

-Break time.

0:40:420:40:44

I wanted to say, you know, if you needed help

0:40:440:40:46

with the singing or dancing, or anything like that.

0:40:460:40:49

SHOUTING CONTINUES

0:40:490:40:51

-Step, step, change...

-Excuse me.

-Step, step...

0:40:550:40:58

Gordon!

0:41:040:41:06

Gordon!

0:41:070:41:09

-I don't know what's happening.

-What are you doing?

0:41:090:41:12

-Why've you come to the school?

-We came on a field trip and...

0:41:120:41:15

-Excuse me. Excuse me. No...

-Mr Maddens!

0:41:170:41:20

Bundle!

0:41:230:41:26

Some of the children have described being encouraged to have a rumble.

0:41:290:41:33

What on earth does that mean?

0:41:330:41:35

It was more of a bundle than a rumble.

0:41:350:41:37

Bundle or rumble, I do not care.

0:41:370:41:39

You've dragged this school and your trousers through the mire.

0:41:390:41:44

If it wasn't for this Hollywood thing,

0:41:440:41:46

you'd be off the premises without a job and without a reference.

0:41:460:41:48

Get out, back your classrooms.

0:41:480:41:50

-Tuck your shirt in.

-I'm really sorry.

0:41:500:41:54

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for coming.

0:41:540:41:56

I know a lot of you have heard about the Hollywood connection,

0:41:560:42:00

so I'll hand you over to Mr Maddens. Paul.

0:42:000:42:03

There was talk about relocating.

0:42:030:42:05

Is this... Is there any truth in this?

0:42:050:42:08

I don't want any of us to run away with ourselves

0:42:080:42:12

and dream about Hollywood mansions or swimming pools,

0:42:120:42:15

when we know that is plainly a fantasy.

0:42:150:42:17

Yeah, but if the people from Hollywood see something brilliant

0:42:170:42:21

in your child, they'll probably take them over there.

0:42:210:42:24

I'm worried about the religious aspect being lost.

0:42:240:42:26

It will be absolutely, 100%,

0:42:260:42:29

in line with the teaching of the Church, a normal Nativity.

0:42:290:42:32

Yeah, but also we've got the death slide.

0:42:320:42:34

How much are you paying?

0:42:340:42:36

There will be no financial benefit, as far as I know.

0:42:360:42:39

If you're making a film, there's got to be a fee.

0:42:390:42:41

Nobody does a film for nothing.

0:42:410:42:43

It's Hollywood, they've got the money.

0:42:430:42:45

And he's really good. He deserves to be paid.

0:42:450:42:48

About £1 million. I think, I've heard.

0:42:480:42:51

-We're going to have to get agents.

-Alfie can't have contacts.

0:42:510:42:54

Just don't cast him, then.

0:42:540:42:56

-My daughter is very beautiful.

-Will my daughter Becky be...?

0:42:560:42:59

-My daughter is going to be...

-She's a Mary, isn't she?

0:42:590:43:02

EVERYONE SPEAKS AT ONCE

0:43:020:43:04

OK... Hi, Jennifer, this is, er, Paul. Paul Maddens.

0:43:040:43:08

Er... Just wondering if you can possibly give me a call back.

0:43:080:43:11

I have something to ask you, if that's all right.

0:43:110:43:14

If you could give me a ri... Love you.

0:43:140:43:17

What are you...?! Don't say that.

0:43:170:43:20

Why did you tell me to say that?

0:43:200:43:22

-It's a nice ending.

-It's not a nice ending.

0:43:220:43:25

It's a totally inappropriate ending. What are you talking about?

0:43:250:43:28

-Why are you were my house?!

-I'm just trying to help, Mr Maddens.

0:43:280:43:32

It's not helping!

0:43:320:43:33

I haven't told her I loved her have a five years...

0:43:330:43:36

Get out. What are you doing?

0:43:360:43:38

He's doing it for the best,

0:43:380:43:39

because if it does happen, it'll be brilliant.

0:43:390:43:42

-It's not happening.

-But it might happen.

-How?

0:43:420:43:45

-Well...

-How's it going to happen?

0:43:450:43:47

-Maybe you could kind of help out.

-Desmond.

0:43:470:43:51

Are you going to be on break duty, today? Can you...?

0:43:510:43:54

-I was chatting with Miss Rye.

-You shouldn't be.

0:43:540:43:57

Can you get out, please?

0:43:570:43:58

-Paul.

-Yeah?

0:43:580:44:00

Why did you lie?

0:44:010:44:03

-About what?

-About America,

0:44:030:44:06

about Hollywood all being a complete load of rubbish.

0:44:060:44:09

-You've lied about all this.

-You DID lie.

0:44:090:44:11

I'm in shock. I'm in shock.

0:44:110:44:14

I'm really sorry. I was looking for the right time.

0:44:140:44:15

-What are you going to do?

-I don't know.

0:44:150:44:18

-You've got to do something.

-Maybe you've got an idea.

0:44:180:44:21

You've got to get Jennifer to return your calls

0:44:210:44:24

-or speak to you, whatever.

-Yes.

0:44:240:44:26

We're going to film what we've done.

0:44:260:44:28

-We'll film some of the rehearsals.

-A best bits.

0:44:280:44:31

-A best bit of these children?

-Yes.

-Four seconds. There are no best bits.

0:44:310:44:34

-Oh!

-Come on, Paul!

0:44:340:44:36

OK, just get something. Get what you can.

0:44:360:44:39

The best thing you can. On the DVD.

0:44:390:44:41

Film it for the DVD. Send the DVD.

0:44:410:44:43

Stop saying "DVD".

0:44:430:44:44

It's got to be worth a try.

0:44:440:44:46

Well, I'm not doing the DVD.

0:44:460:44:50

# She's the brightest star I've ever seen

0:44:500:44:53

# It's like we're living in some kind of dream

0:44:530:44:58

# Why do I feel love with her with hope and joy

0:44:580:45:01

0:45:080:45:10

THEY CHEER

0:45:210:45:23

OK. Er...

0:45:240:45:26

OK, nice and loud. In here, in here. Go!

HE SOBS

0:45:450:45:47

'Hello, you don't know me. I've heard a lot about you

0:45:530:45:57

'and the children have got something they want to tell you.

0:45:570:46:00

'Mr Maddens is having a hard time without you.

0:46:000:46:02

'Mr Maddens loves you so much, so can you please come back?

0:46:020:46:09

'Please, please come back and mend Mr Maddens' heart.

0:46:090:46:11

'Mr Maddens is heartbroken without you.

0:46:110:46:14

'Without you, Mr Maddens is lost.

0:46:160:46:18

'Mr Maddens is miserable without you, Jennifer.

0:46:180:46:23

'So, please, please come.

0:46:230:46:26

'Erm, and come and see the show while you're here.

0:46:260:46:29

'And everything will be good.'

0:46:290:46:31

The Lord Mayor welcomes Mrs Bevan and Mr Maddens!

0:46:440:46:48

APPLAUSE

0:46:480:46:51

-Paul Maddens.

-Nice to meet you.

0:46:550:46:57

-How d'you do?

-Nice to see you again.

-Lovely to be here.

0:46:570:47:00

You look marvellous, by the way.

0:47:000:47:02

This old thing comes out at Christmas time.

0:47:020:47:04

You look like a Christmas cracker!

0:47:040:47:06

Thank you very much.

0:47:060:47:07

Let's hope you get pulled before the end of the night!

0:47:070:47:10

Can I take you for a drink, Mrs Bevan?

0:47:100:47:14

I'm sure you'd like another glass of champagne.

0:47:140:47:15

I'd love another one. It's very nice, very cooling.

0:47:150:47:18

-Patrick Burns.

-Hello.

0:47:180:47:20

-Coventry Evening Telegraph.

-I know who you are, yeah.

0:47:200:47:23

-Excited?

-About?

0:47:230:47:26

Hollywood?

0:47:260:47:27

Oh, yeah, that old thing.

0:47:270:47:29

I've got contacts there. Had them for years.

0:47:290:47:31

Pulling in a favour.

0:47:310:47:33

Yeah. From a young lady. Jennifer, isn't it?

0:47:330:47:36

-Er, yeah.

-Yeah...

0:47:360:47:38

Sorry, I know how this works. No. You're a reporter and it's...

0:47:380:47:41

No, I'm off duty. I'm off duty.

0:47:410:47:44

-I hear there's no such thing.

-Please.

0:47:440:47:47

Gordon was saying how you had a few problems in the beginning

0:47:470:47:51

and then he said to her, "You go, girl. You go to LA."

0:47:510:47:54

I just wondered your take on it all.

0:47:540:47:58

-I'm sensing a lot of anger.

-Are you? Why would that be, I wonder?

0:48:000:48:05

Could it be because you are the man who, five years ago,

0:48:050:48:08

roundly trashed my one honest attempt at putting on a Nativity.

0:48:080:48:12

It doesn't ring a bell. Sure it was me?

0:48:120:48:15

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" was the headline. Now, with a chance...

0:48:150:48:18

Oh, come on. It was appalling.

0:48:180:48:20

So, you do remember it?

0:48:200:48:21

I did that review to make you tough.

0:48:210:48:24

Look at you now. You're mixing with Hollywood.

0:48:240:48:27

You're no-one if you haven't had a bad review off Patrick Burns.

0:48:270:48:30

That's why they call them Burns' victims.

0:48:300:48:32

Ladies and gentlemen,

0:48:350:48:36

can I thank you for your attendance and your support

0:48:360:48:38

because I would like to publicly congratulate

0:48:380:48:41

Mr Maddens and St Bernadette's School

0:48:410:48:44

for the incredible opportunity they are affording our wonderful city.

0:48:440:48:48

APPLAUSE

0:48:480:48:50

In honour of this occasion, and much against the council's wishes,

0:48:500:48:53

the mayor's parlour has overruled the council

0:48:530:48:56

and we would like to offer the cathedral ruins

0:48:560:48:59

as a venue for your show.

0:48:590:49:01

HE LAUGHS

0:49:010:49:03

APPLAUSE

0:49:030:49:04

Mr Maddens.

0:49:150:49:17

This is brilliant. This is going to blow your mind.

0:49:170:49:20

Prepare to be amazed.

0:49:200:49:23

We're doing it at the cathedral.

0:49:230:49:25

What?

0:49:250:49:27

-We're doing the show in the ruins of the cathedral.

-Yes!

0:49:270:49:33

The cathedral's got a spire.

0:49:330:49:35

-It's got a really high spire.

-You don't seem to understand

0:49:350:49:38

that the bigger this gets...

0:49:380:49:39

It's now constituting fraud.

0:49:390:49:41

He's getting corporate sponsors involved to give money

0:49:410:49:45

-and to give their services for free.

-We need money.

0:49:450:49:47

-We need lights. We need a little smoke machine.

-Please.

0:49:470:49:50

We need someone to help do the hanging. I can't.

0:49:500:49:53

-I tried with the rope, but it keeps snapping...

-Mr Poppy.

0:49:530:49:55

Stop it, please. Seriously.

0:49:550:49:57

-What are you doing?

-I think I'm having a heart...

0:49:570:50:00

-Mr Maddens.

-Don't touch me.

0:50:000:50:02

-You're upset, aren't you?

-HIGH-PITCHED: Oh!

0:50:020:50:05

I can give you a cuddle. Cuddles make it all go away.

0:50:050:50:09

I promise. Feel this.

0:50:090:50:12

(You're hurting me.)

0:50:120:50:15

We can do this, Mr Maddens, can't we?

0:50:150:50:16

"Yes, we can."

0:50:160:50:18

-No, we can't.

-We can, we can. Look...

0:50:180:50:21

I'll leave you here, all right?

0:50:210:50:23

You can listen to the music and just chill out and relax.

0:50:230:50:26

I'll take care of the children.

0:50:260:50:28

MUSIC PLAYS ON LAPTOP

# I've had a little make-over and I'm all dressed up tonight... #

# A cheeky drink A naughty wink... #

0:50:380:50:42

Yes.

-Good.

-# Cos there's no star like mine! #

0:50:510:50:54

Yes.

0:50:540:50:56

ALL: # Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh... #

0:50:560:50:58

See, that's... Can you cut the music, please? Cut the music.

0:50:580:51:01

That has got to come in absolutely after the...

0:51:010:51:04

# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh. #

0:51:040:51:06

Bosh! # Sparkle and shine! #

0:51:060:51:09

It has to have that ferocity to it.

0:51:090:51:11

It's a cathedral we're trying to fill, not just this hall.

0:51:110:51:14

You're not hitting me when I'm here.

0:51:140:51:16

OK, let's go again, please.

0:51:160:51:18

# I've had a little make-over and I'm all dressed up tonight

HE HOLDS NOTE

0:52:010:52:03

Very good. Very good. Well done.

0:52:070:52:10

CHILDREN SHOUT Mr Poppy! Mr...

0:52:130:52:17

Right, carefully, please. Carefully, Lucy.

0:52:170:52:20

Hello, Sadie. That was great. Well done.

0:52:200:52:25

-I don't really want to do it.

-You don't want to do what?

0:52:250:52:28

The singing and dancing.

0:52:280:52:30

Come here. Sit down. Sit down.

0:52:300:52:32

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:52:360:52:38

Sadie, that was absolutely brilliant.

0:52:380:52:39

Everyone's going to laugh at me.

0:52:390:52:41

No, everyone's going to laugh with you.

0:52:410:52:44

Anyone who tells you that anyone's going to laugh at you must be a fool,

0:52:440:52:48

because you were great up there -

0:52:480:52:50

you sparkled and you shone like the brightest star.

0:52:500:52:52

You were really good.

0:52:520:52:54

Please don't drop out now.

0:52:540:52:55

HE SIGHS Truth be known, I need you.

0:52:570:53:01

I need all of you in it, OK?

0:53:010:53:03

If you don't do it for yourself, please, look at me -

0:53:030:53:06

I'm a man literally on the edge of something, I don't know what.

0:53:060:53:10

But if you go now, it will really, genuinely...

0:53:100:53:16

hurt me.

0:53:160:53:17

You were great up there.

0:53:180:53:21

-Do I have to wear a stupid costume?

-Yes.

0:53:210:53:24

It's the Nativity. You can't look cool.

0:53:240:53:26

Go on, have your lunch.

0:53:260:53:28

Oh, you're joking!

0:53:380:53:40

"Dear Father Christmas,

0:54:000:54:02

"I'm so scared of not doing the play properly,

0:54:020:54:05

0:54:050:54:08

"and make Hollywood love us in the play?

0:54:080:54:10

"PS, make me be Mary. Love, Saffron."

0:54:100:54:14

"Dear Santa, please send me loads of stuff and surprises.

0:54:160:54:20

"I want to be happy and see more of my mum,

0:54:200:54:23

"cos she never spends any time with me.

0:54:230:54:25

"And please let me be Joseph.

0:54:250:54:27

"She's never seen me do a school play before.

0:54:270:54:30

"Thank you very much, from Olly."

0:54:300:54:32

"Dear Santa, please, please let my Christmas wish come true.

0:54:370:54:41

"I'd really love for everyone in the world to be happy, even Mr Maddens.

0:54:410:54:45

"Please help Mr Maddens get his girlfriend back

0:54:450:54:48

"when she comes to see us.

0:54:480:54:49

"Thank you very much, from Charlotte."

0:54:490:54:52

"Dear Father Christmas,

0:54:590:55:01

"please make my teacher happy, cos he seems really sad.

0:55:010:55:04

"He doesn't even like Christmas.

0:55:040:55:07

"So, please help him find his smile. Love from Lizzie."

0:55:070:55:11

HE GULPS

0:55:110:55:13

Right. Who wants to go on a death slide?

0:55:230:55:27

-ALL:

-Me!

-Yes!

0:55:270:55:29

-What's going on?

-I'm going.

0:55:310:55:33

-What d'you mean, you're going?

-I'm going to Hollywood.

-You...

0:55:330:55:36

-Are you being serious?

-Yes, I am.

0:55:360:55:38

-Ah!

-HE LAUGHS

0:55:380:55:40

I want to kiss you. And me too.

0:55:400:55:43

No, no. You've got to be here, look after the play.

0:55:430:55:46

-You're my wingman.

-Yes, Mr Maddens!

0:55:460:55:50

-I will do.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-Mr Maddens.

0:56:030:56:06

-Hello.

-Room for two little ones?

0:56:060:56:07

-Sorry?

-William and Saffron are coming with you.

0:56:070:56:10

-They can't come on the plane with me.

-I've got consent forms.

0:56:100:56:13

-I've got the passports.

-Passports?

-Tickets.

0:56:130:56:16

Miss Rye and I thought it would be a good idea if they come with you,

0:56:160:56:20

cos they can sing and dance and do the opening numbers and Nazareth.

0:56:200:56:23

The gate's closing. She's got allergies.

0:56:230:56:25

-What are your allergies?

-Ponies, horses, donkeys and cats.

0:56:250:56:28

-I don't have time for this.

-It's a good idea.

0:56:280:56:31

-Desmond, this is all very sweet.

-They can help you.

0:56:460:56:49

-Mr Maddens! Look what we've found!

-What is it?

0:57:030:57:05

So, we're in the right area.

0:57:050:57:07

We're closer to her than we were at the beach. Good.

0:57:070:57:10

We should be getting very near Beverly Hills now.

0:57:100:57:14

Saffron!

0:57:140:57:16

If we come across anyone, let me do the talking. You keep schtum, OK?

0:57:180:57:22

Now, just follow me.

0:57:220:57:23

-Excuse me.

-Hi.

-Hey, you guys have an appointment?

0:57:230:57:26

Er, yes, that's right. I have an appointment with Jennifer Law.

0:57:260:57:29

-My name is Paul Maddens.

-Can I see some ID, please?

0:57:290:57:33

-Sorry?

-I need to see a piece of ID.

0:57:330:57:36

I'm so sorry. Totally my fault. I haven't got it with me.

0:57:360:57:40

You're not on the list. I wouldn't let you on if you had it.

0:57:400:57:44

Is it possible to check somewhere else?

0:57:440:57:47

I've come all the way with these two.

0:57:470:57:49

-I'll check.

-If you would.

0:57:490:57:50

Follow me.

Quick.

0:57:590:58:00

OK. OK. Come here. Hold on tight. Hold on tight.

0:58:060:58:10

Stop!

0:58:100:58:12

Stop! Wait!

0:58:130:58:15

Good morning, Independent United Pictures. Hi, Angie!

0:59:080:59:11

I know!

0:59:110:59:13

Putting you through.

0:59:150:59:17

-How can I help you, sir?

-My name is Paul Maddens...

0:59:170:59:19

Good afternoon, Independent United Pictures. Uh-huh.

0:59:190:59:22

That's for Sean Michelle? Putting you through.

0:59:220:59:24

-I'm sorry, sir.

-Hi. Paul Maddens to see Jennifer Law at ten o'clock.

0:59:240:59:29

I don't have that appointment, sir.

0:59:380:59:40

-Sorry, is...

-If you'd move away from the desk.

0:59:400:59:42

THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:59:420:59:44

-Tony, we have children in reception!

-So, what's the problem?

0:59:440:59:46

-Tony, we have children in reception!

-What's the problem?

-Kevin...

0:59:460:59:50

I'm so sorry, Jennifer, there's this crazy guy.

0:59:500:59:53

-Yeah, it's fine.

-He's been ask...

-It's OK. I...

0:59:530:59:56

You look amazing.

1:00:011:00:03

Why are you here?

1:00:031:00:05

You know why I'm here. You didn't give me much of a choice.

1:00:051:00:08

You didn't return my calls.

1:00:081:00:09

-Paul.

-What?

-I don't understand what I'm meant to do.

1:00:091:00:12

Look, you shouldn't be involved in it, but, somehow,

1:00:121:00:16

we've got to a situation where the whole town thinks

1:00:161:00:19

that Hollywood are coming.

1:00:191:00:20

Why do feel like I'm suddenly ten years ago?

1:00:201:00:23

I tried to maintain contact with you. You were having none of it.

1:00:231:00:26

-You did not want anything...

-Excuse me.

1:00:261:00:28

-Sorry. Jen, this is that letter of agreement.

-OK.

1:00:281:00:31

-You can take time off.

-I can't take time off.

1:00:311:00:35

-I know you're busy.

-I don't understand why...

1:00:351:00:37

An executive producer can't just take time off?

1:00:371:00:40

I'm not an executive producer.

1:00:401:00:42

What do you mean? What are you, then?

1:00:421:00:44

I file, I answer phone calls. I speak to people,

1:00:441:00:47

I put people in meetings,

1:00:471:00:49

-I take people out of meetings.

-A secretary?

1:00:491:00:51

-Yep.

-You can't be a secretary. You can't be a secretary.

1:00:511:00:55

She does a heck of a lot more than that, pal,

1:00:551:00:58

-and you should respect her time.

-I am pretty much a secretary.

1:00:581:01:01

Yeah. Yeah.

1:01:011:01:03

I'm sorry. Look, I know this is mad.

1:01:031:01:06

I know this is absolutely insane and it's my fault.

1:01:061:01:09

I'm asking you for one more favour and then I'll be out of your life.

1:01:091:01:12

-I can't do anything.

-If you can't, who can? Harrison, are you up for it?

1:01:121:01:17

I believe the answer is no. Sorry you came all this way...

1:01:171:01:20

-A trip to England?

-I'm sorry you have come over here.

1:01:201:01:24

-Who could help me out, then?

-If you got an appointment...

1:01:241:01:27

I am not leaving here with these two without something to take home, OK?

1:01:271:01:32

Come here!

1:01:321:01:33

-Kevin, get security.

-Security, please!

1:01:341:01:37

This way, this way.

1:01:371:01:39

Have you heard of the Nativity?

1:01:391:01:43

HE SIGHS You have, I can tell you have.

1:01:431:01:46

So, we're doing our Nativity show.

1:01:461:01:48

-Mary meets Joseph. They...

-I know the story.

-OK.

1:01:481:01:53

All I need to tell you is it's being performed by 24 children.

1:01:531:01:55

It happens every year in every school around the world

1:01:551:01:59

where Christians are.

1:01:591:02:01

So, what's so special about yours?

1:02:011:02:03

A good question. Here's an even better answer.

1:02:031:02:06

One, two, three, four.

1:02:061:02:09

BOTH: # Things are really cool... # (Sing it out.)

1:02:091:02:12

# In Nazareth

1:02:121:02:14

# Our city is full of joy

1:02:141:02:18

# Cos this is where girl meets boy... #

1:02:181:02:21

Yes, that's a Sean Burridge. Putting you through.

1:02:211:02:25

Last chance.

1:02:251:02:26

Bye, Paul. Thanks for dropping by.

1:02:291:02:31

-Oh, shut up, Harrison!

-Hey.

1:02:311:02:33

They're not coming, are they?

1:02:411:02:42

No, they're not.

1:02:451:02:47

-Is it our fault?

-No.

1:02:471:02:50

No, it's not your fault. Come on.

1:02:501:02:54

Although, you could have sung a bit better.

1:02:551:02:58

They're expecting Hollywood to come and see their show.

1:03:031:03:08

-Mr Parker, we can make that happen.

-I've got 50 states.

1:03:081:03:14

I've got hundreds of towns in each one of those states

1:03:141:03:18

that are putting on a Nativity play I can go see.

1:03:181:03:21

I don't need to travel 6,000 miles.

1:03:211:03:24

Mr Parker, I need you to do this for me.

1:03:241:03:28

I have worked here for three years, and...

1:03:281:03:31

every morning, at ten to eight, I take your coat, I hang it up.

1:03:311:03:37

At nine o'clock, I get you your coffee, I put it on your table.

1:03:371:03:42

I take away the letters. I put them into the outbox.

1:03:421:03:44

I take the other letters, put them in the inbox. I file, fax, smile.

1:03:441:03:49

Jennifer...

1:03:491:03:50

..that's what you're paid to do.

1:03:521:03:54

I know.

1:03:551:03:56

-Yeah.

-Yes.

1:03:581:04:00

Hello.

1:04:051:04:07

Well?

1:04:071:04:08

No joy.

1:04:101:04:11

To take two children out of here without my permission,

1:04:151:04:18

I can't believe you did it.

1:04:181:04:19

Mrs Bevan, I have consent.

1:04:191:04:21

-Thank goodness.

-Well...

-Thank goodness for that.

1:04:211:04:24

It's the first thing Mr Poppy gave me.

1:04:241:04:26

Otherwise, it's abduction and the school would close. You realise?

1:04:261:04:29

Of course. I wouldn't have got on the plane without these.

1:04:291:04:32

You realise the school can get in severe trouble over this?

1:04:321:04:35

What is this?

1:04:391:04:41

I don't know what that is.

1:04:421:04:44

What is that? Did you do that?

1:04:441:04:46

Desmond, I trusted you.

1:04:491:04:50

I trusted you with children. Small lives.

1:04:501:04:54

I thought it was something you could rise to,

1:04:541:04:55

but you have been a disaster.

1:04:551:04:57

I'm sorry, Auntie Pat.

1:04:571:04:58

-Did you know about this?!

-I didn't know about that.

1:04:581:05:01

But I did know about...

1:05:011:05:03

-No.

-What did you kn...?

1:05:031:05:04

-What did you know? Shush!

-We've got to tell her.

-Speak to me, Miss Rye.

1:05:041:05:08

-What did you know?

-Um...

1:05:081:05:09

Actually, Hollywood, they're not coming.

1:05:091:05:12

Um, Paul, Mr Maddens, panicked, I think, and...

1:05:121:05:18

lied.

1:05:181:05:19

Why did I ever, ever think this school

1:05:191:05:22

would ever have anything good happen to it and out of the ordinary

1:05:221:05:27

and successful and-and helpful to me and the children?

1:05:271:05:32

Why did I ever think that would happen?

1:05:321:05:35

-Mrs Bevan...

-You'd better start looking for another job.

1:05:351:05:37

-Sorry?

-And you. You're out.

1:05:371:05:40

You're irresponsible. You're not focused.

1:05:441:05:46

You are, I think, possibly educationally subnormal.

1:05:461:05:49

You have an attitude of wanting to be a friend to the children,

1:05:491:05:53

rather than a professional adult,

1:05:531:05:55

which, by the way, any fool can do that.

1:05:551:05:58

Any fool can say, "Hands up, who wants to meet a pig?

1:05:581:06:00

"Hands up, who wants to go to a hospital?"

1:06:001:06:02

Any fool can do that and it transpires you are that any fool.

1:06:021:06:06

I really had high hopes for you.

1:06:061:06:08

For five minutes, I thought you were something else. No.

1:06:081:06:11

It transpires you are actually just an idiot.

1:06:111:06:14

SHE SOBS

1:06:141:06:17

As you know, I've been away for a couple of days.

1:06:191:06:23

And in that time, something has changed regarding our Nativity.

1:06:231:06:28

I'm afraid I let you believe that Hollywood were coming

1:06:281:06:31

and they're not coming.

1:06:311:06:34

But worse than that,

1:06:341:06:35

we are not being allowed to do the show in the first place.

1:06:351:06:38

There will be no Nativity.

1:06:381:06:40

Can't we do the show, anyway? We don't care about Hollywood.

1:06:401:06:44

Unfortunately not. Mrs Bevan is not going to let us to the show.

1:06:441:06:47

-Er...

-Please, please, please, Mr Maddens.

1:06:471:06:49

Can we still do the Nativity? Please!

1:06:491:06:53

I told a lie.

1:06:531:06:55

And I let that lie grow and multiply

1:06:551:06:58

and turn into lots of other little lies.

1:06:581:07:01

And, as I've told you all, probably, on may occasions,

1:07:011:07:05

a lie always, always causes more problems than it solves,

1:07:051:07:10

which is why I shan't be here next term.

1:07:101:07:13

This will be my last term here. I won't be coming back.

1:07:141:07:17

And worse than losing my job,

1:07:171:07:19

my position, my security, much worse than that,

1:07:191:07:22

is that I'm not going to see any of you again.

1:07:221:07:25

And...

1:07:251:07:26

..that's a very hurtful thing for me.

1:07:301:07:32

Come on. Back to your class, please.

1:07:321:07:35

# Have yourself a merry little Christmas

1:07:351:07:43

# Let your heart be light

1:07:451:07:50

# Next year, all our troubles

1:07:531:07:57

# Will be out of sight... #

1:07:571:08:01

-There's a wee joke in it, no?

-Is there?

-Yeah.

1:08:031:08:05

Yeah! Ah!

1:08:051:08:07

Just that little bit.

1:08:101:08:12

-It's good.

-It's great, isn't it?

1:08:121:08:15

-Jennifer, how are you?

-I'm all right.

1:08:151:08:18

INDISTINCT SPEECH

1:08:181:08:21

# Until then we'll have to muddle through

1:08:261:08:32

# Somehow

1:08:321:08:37

# So have yourself a merry little Christmas... #

1:08:401:08:48

Who are you and where do you come from?

1:08:481:08:52

ALL: We are the three kings and we've come to find the baby Jesus.

1:08:521:08:58

He is the new King of the Jews.

1:08:581:09:01

Kill every boy child in this land.

1:09:011:09:03

-Where's my baby, where's my baby?

-Where's my baby, where's my baby?

1:09:031:09:07

Where's my baby? Where's my baby?

1:09:071:09:09

-Where's my baby, where's my baby?

-Where's my baby, where's my baby?

1:09:091:09:13

ALL SHOUT

1:09:131:09:15

SCREAMING THROUGHOUT

1:09:171:09:21

I am the king!

1:09:321:09:34

APPLAUSE

1:09:341:09:35

# So have yourself

1:09:381:09:41

# A merry little

# Christmas now. #

1:09:461:09:51

Nouns are used to name a person, animal, place, thing or idea.

1:09:511:09:57

We've got a football, pineapple, iguana, a guitar.

1:09:571:10:01

Nouns can be replaced by these - pronouns.

1:10:011:10:04

They can replace nouns or other pronouns.

1:10:041:10:07

So, "ours", "she", "one", "he", "it", "this", "you", "none".

1:10:071:10:11

-Are you all right, Cleo?

-No, not very.

1:10:131:10:15

What's the problem?

1:10:151:10:17

Nothing.

1:10:171:10:18

TJ?

1:10:181:10:20

-I miss Mr Poppy.

-Everyone misses Mr Poppy.

1:10:201:10:24

We'd be doing the play if Mr Poppy was still here.

1:10:241:10:28

ALL CHANT: Poppy! Poppy! Poppy!

1:10:471:10:50

What am I doing?

1:10:521:10:54

Meet me in the hall in ten minutes. We're doing the play.

1:10:541:10:57

-ALL:

-Yes!

-ALL CHEER

1:10:571:11:01

All right?

1:11:101:11:11

BLEATING

1:11:111:11:12

Desmond...I've come to apologise.

1:11:141:11:17

I said some things to you that were unforgivable

1:11:171:11:21

and that weren't true and that were mean.

1:11:211:11:23

I want you to do the play with me,

1:11:231:11:25

because I told the children we're going to do it

1:11:251:11:27

and I can't do it without you.

1:11:271:11:28

I messed everything up.

1:11:301:11:33

I know I put it on you. I know I did.

1:11:331:11:36

You were right all along.

1:11:361:11:38

And for ad undas, you've been right on the money.

1:11:381:11:42

You said I was scared, I denied it. You were absolutely right.

1:11:421:11:44

You said I was still in love with Jennifer.

1:11:441:11:47

I denied it and you were absolutely right.

1:11:471:11:50

Well, let's do it. What are you waiting for? We'd better get going.

1:11:571:12:00

-Come on.

-You're going to do it?

-Yeah, let's do it.

1:12:001:12:03

-Let's do it.

-Right, thank you. You're not going to regret it.

1:12:031:12:06

Oh, my gosh!

1:12:141:12:16

It looks amazing!

1:12:161:12:17

You'll remember where to press the button. Nazareth...

1:12:171:12:20

-I'm nervous.

-Don't be nervous.

1:12:201:12:22

-You're a Nazarene.

-Mr Maddens?

1:12:221:12:24

-Yes?

-I don't want to be a building. I want to get a proper part.

1:12:241:12:28

You're playing part of Nazareth in a song called Nazareth.

1:12:281:12:31

-Please, everyone, just calm down!

-Fingers crossed.

1:12:311:12:34

I've forgotten it. I don't want to do it.

1:12:341:12:37

I'm nervous and I don't want to do it.

1:12:371:12:38

It's you and me. We'll beat them all.

1:12:381:12:41

-Come on, Mr Maddens.

-Hey...

-We've got to get going.

1:12:441:12:47

We haven't got much time. This is fine.

1:12:471:12:49

It's what everyone in Nazareth wore, even the women.

1:12:491:12:52

Not on the women. No.

1:12:521:12:53

Buddy, it's exciting. Look. The audience are filling up.

1:12:571:13:02

OK. Everybody listen up, all right?

1:13:021:13:05

Big bit of advice, and I had to learn this the hard way.

1:13:051:13:08

Can everybody make sure you've done a poo and a wee

1:13:081:13:11

because there won't be a chance when we get the show going.

1:13:111:13:14

You can use my caravan. Just get in there, do a poo and a wee.

1:13:141:13:16

Come back. There's no show. There will be no show.

1:13:161:13:19

I've just had a call telling me this was happening.

1:13:191:13:21

-I cannot believe... What is all this?

-Mrs Bevan.

1:13:211:13:25

I cancelled this performance. I cancelled the show. You are sacked.

1:13:251:13:29

-You know you are sacked.

-I'm already sacked.

1:13:291:13:31

-What else can you do?

-Desmond!

1:13:311:13:33

Thank you. Thank you. This is absolutely marvellous.

1:13:331:13:36

-Well done, young man.

-Thank you.

1:13:361:13:38

Break a leg, kids.

1:13:381:13:40

-Break a leg.

-I need to have the microphone.

-I'm going to do it.

1:13:401:13:45

Can you watch on that wing. APPLAUSE

1:13:451:13:47

Come on, this'll be sensational. The town will be so proud of you.

1:13:471:13:50

Ladies and gentlemen, mums and dads.

1:13:561:13:58

I just want to thank you for the effort

1:13:581:14:01

and the time you've put into the show.

1:14:011:14:03

Ladies and gentlemen, if I had to single any one person out

1:14:031:14:07

for their effort, time, their diligence and their enthusiasm,

1:14:071:14:11

it would have to be Mrs B, better known to you as Mrs Bevan.

1:14:111:14:16

Come and take a bow. Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs Bevan.

1:14:161:14:20

-Come on.

-CHEERING

1:14:201:14:22

Erm, hello. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

1:14:261:14:29

It's very kind of you.

1:14:291:14:31

This will be my last Nativity play, so it's a bit special. Really.

1:14:311:14:37

We're used to the school hall. We don't have all this beauty around,

1:14:371:14:40

normally, for the play.

1:14:401:14:42

And the mums and dads who've been before to see our Nativity play

1:14:421:14:45

know that things can go a little bit wrong with the little ones.

1:14:451:14:48

LAUGHTER

1:14:481:14:50

Don't ex... I was going to say don't expect too much.

1:14:501:14:53

But, er, I shouldn't have said that. Smack.

1:14:531:14:58

Nobody ever expects enough of the children at St Bernadette's.

1:14:581:15:02

Everyone expects them to go down the drain.

1:15:021:15:06

And I'm going to change that.

1:15:061:15:08

That's what I said 17 years ago,

1:15:101:15:12

and tonight, it stands a chance of coming true.

1:15:121:15:15

I've not seen it. I don't know what's going to happen.

1:15:151:15:20

All I know is that each and every one of these children is amazing

1:15:201:15:24

-and wonderful and a little pocket of stardust.

-Hear, hear.

1:15:241:15:30

-I hope you enjoy it.
