Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the BBC Four Christmas Special.

0:06:270:06:33

Thank you so much for braving the blizzard conditions outside

0:06:370:06:41

to be here tonight for our midwinter warm-up of minstrelsy and merriment.

0:06:410:06:48

At the back of the stage, a group who have braved it down from the frozen North to be with us tonight.

0:06:480:06:53

From the Arctic wastes of Tyneside, the Unthanks.

0:06:530:06:58

# In the bleak midwinter

0:07:230:07:29

# Frosty wind made moan

0:07:290:07:35

# Earth stood hard as iron

0:07:350:07:43

# Water like a stone

0:07:430:07:48

# Snow had fallen, snow on snow

0:07:500:07:57

# Snow on snow

0:07:570:08:04

# In the bleak midwinter

0:08:060:08:13

# Long ago

0:08:140:08:20

# In the bleak midwinter

0:08:560:09:03

# A stable-place sufficed

0:09:030:09:10

# The Lord God Almighty

0:09:100:09:18

# Jesus Christ

0:09:190:09:25

# Angels and archangels

0:09:260:09:33

# May have gathered there

0:09:330:09:40

# Cherubim and seraphim

0:09:400:09:48

# Thronged the air

0:09:480:09:54

# But His mother only

0:09:550:10:02

# In her maiden bliss

0:10:020:10:10

# Worshipped the beloved

0:10:100:10:17

# With a kiss

0:10:170:10:24

# Oh, what can I give Him

0:10:290:10:36

# Poor as I am?

0:10:360:10:42

# If I were a shepherd

0:10:420:10:49

# I would bring a lamb

0:10:490:10:56

# If I were a Wise Man

0:11:060:11:12

# I would do my part

0:11:120:11:21

# Yet what I can I give Him?

0:11:210:11:28

# Give my heart. #

0:11:280:11:38

APPLAUSE

0:12:040:12:06

The fabulous Unthanks.

0:12:100:12:13

CHEERING

0:12:130:12:15

And more of them later, we hope.

0:12:170:12:19

Now,

0:12:190:12:20

would you like to stand up and show everyone what you're wearing, or not wearing?

0:12:200:12:25

Have a look at this, everyone.

0:12:250:12:26

WOLF-WHISTLES

0:12:260:12:30

You can sit down now. I don't know - can you sit down?

0:12:330:12:36

Next, a young lady who was described

0:12:360:12:39

as one of the best singer-songwriters of the last ten years -

0:12:390:12:43

by her mum.

0:12:430:12:44

The great, gorgeous, galactic Thea Gilmore.

0:12:440:12:47

# Rain falling, not a chance of snow

0:13:100:13:14

# Jonah Louie on the radio

0:13:140:13:17

# French beer and mistletoe

0:13:170:13:19

# That'll be Christmas

0:13:190:13:22

# Cars queuing on the edge of town

0:13:220:13:25

# Afternoons with the blinds pulled down

0:13:250:13:28

# It's just the way the beer goes round

0:13:280:13:31

# That'll be Christmas

0:13:310:13:34

# Was going to head for high ground

0:13:340:13:37

# Just forget it all

0:13:370:13:40

# But the line's busy And I can't make that call

0:13:400:13:46

# Oh, no, no, oh

0:13:460:13:51

# So I'll join the others in the bar by ten

0:13:530:13:55

# Peace and goodwill to men

0:13:550:13:58

# Me missing you again

0:13:580:14:01

# That'll be Christmas

0:14:010:14:04

# A tired waiter in a stupid hat

0:14:280:14:31

# Muddy boots on the welcome mat

0:14:310:14:34

# You just can't say no to that

0:14:340:14:38

# Hot wine and a Christmas tree

0:14:400:14:43

# The Sound Of Music and the family

0:14:430:14:46

# Faith, hope and gluttony

0:14:460:14:49

# That'll be Christmas

0:14:490:14:52

# There's a choir of angels

0:14:520:14:55

# A choir of soaks

0:14:550:14:58

# And there's drunk relations telling dirty jokes

0:14:580:15:02

# Oh, no, no, oh

0:15:020:15:09

# So I'll join the others in the bar by ten

0:15:090:15:13

# Peace and goodwill to men

0:15:130:15:16

# Me missing you again

0:15:160:15:19

# That'll be Christmas

0:15:190:15:21

# It's going to be me missing you again

0:15:210:15:25

# That'll be Christmas

0:15:250:15:28

# That'll be Christmas

0:15:280:15:31

# That'll be Christmas. #

0:15:310:15:35

CHEERING

0:16:040:16:07

And next, from the four corners of England,

0:16:110:16:15

the mighty maelstrom, the brazen, brash, boisterous behemoth

0:16:150:16:20

that is Bellowhead.

0:16:200:16:23

# The mistletoe hung in the old castle hall

0:16:410:16:46

# The holly branch shone on the old oak wall

0:16:460:16:51

# The Baron's retainers were blithe and gay

0:16:510:16:56

# Keeping the Christmas holiday

0:16:560:17:00

# The Baron beheld with a father's pride

0:17:000:17:05

# His beautiful child, young Lovell's bride

0:17:050:17:10

# And she, with her bright eyes seemed to be

0:17:100:17:14

# The star of that goodly company

0:17:140:17:19

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:17:200:17:25

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:17:270:17:33

# "I'm weary of dancing, now," she cried

0:17:330:17:37

# "Here, tarry a moment, I'll hide, I'll hide

0:17:370:17:41

# "And, Lovell, be sure you're the first to trace

0:17:410:17:45

# "The clue to my secret hiding place"

0:17:450:17:49

# Away she ran and her friends began

0:17:490:17:53

# Each tower to search, each nook to scan

0:17:530:17:57

# And Lovell he cried, "Where dost thou hide

0:17:570:18:00

# "I'm lonely without you, my own dear bride"

0:18:000:18:06

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:18:060:18:11

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:18:130:18:19

# They searched that night, they searched the next day

0:18:190:18:23

# They searched all around till a week went away

0:18:230:18:29

# In the highest, the lowest, the lonesomest spot

0:18:290:18:33

# Young Lovell sought wildly, but found her not

0:18:330:18:37

# And as years went by their grief at last

0:18:370:18:41

# Was told as a sorrowful tale long past

0:18:410:18:46

# When Lovell appeared, all the children cried

0:18:460:18:50

# "See the old man weep for his fairy bride"

0:18:500:18:57

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:18:570:19:04

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:19:040:19:10

# At length, an old chest that had long lain hid

0:19:170:19:22

# Was found in the attic

0:19:230:19:26

# They raised the lid

0:19:260:19:30

# A skeleton form lay mouldering there

0:19:300:19:37

# In the bridal wreath of a lady so fair

0:19:370:19:44

# Oh, sad was her fate in sport and jest

0:19:440:19:49

# She hid from her love in an old oak chest

0:19:490:19:54

# It closed with a spring and the bridal bloom

0:19:540:20:00

# Lay with her in there in a living tomb

0:20:000:20:07

# Oh, the mistletoe bough

0:20:070:20:13

# Oh, the mistletoe bough. #

0:20:140:20:21

CHEERING

0:20:250:20:29

At this point in the evening

0:20:430:20:45

there was a plan for myself and Mr John Spiers down here to sing you a song.

0:20:450:20:50

Now, unfortunately,

0:20:500:20:52

John was attacked by a peacock on the way here, as you can see.

0:20:520:20:58

It has resulted in him losing his voice. I think he swallowed some feathers.

0:21:000:21:04

Fortunately, to step into the breach, we have Mr Sam Lee over here

0:21:040:21:10

who is going to come and give us a song.

0:21:100:21:13

CHEERING

0:21:130:21:16

This is called On Christmas Day It Happened So.

0:21:270:21:30

# On Christmas Day it happened so

0:21:300:21:37

# Down in those meadows for to plough

0:21:370:21:42

# As we were ploughing on so fast

0:21:420:21:49

# Up come sweet Jesus himself at last

0:21:490:21:57

# "Oh, man, oh, man, why must you plough

0:21:570:22:03

# "So hard upon the Lord's birthday?"

0:22:030:22:09

# The farmer he answered him with great speed

0:22:090:22:17

# "For to plough this day we have great need"

0:22:170:22:26

# His arms did quaver to and fro

0:22:260:22:33

# His arms did quaver, he could not plough

0:22:330:22:40

# The ground it did open and let him in

0:22:400:22:47

# Before that he could repent of sin

0:22:470:22:56

# His wife and children, they are out of place

0:22:560:23:04

# His beasts and cattle, they died away

0:23:040:23:10

# His beasts and cattle, they died away

0:23:100:23:18

# For the breaking of our Lord's birthday. #

0:23:180:23:31

CHEERING

0:23:330:23:34

And now a local lass made good.

0:23:480:23:50

All the way from London, the linnet-like larynx of the lovely Lisa Knapp.

0:23:500:23:57

APPLAUSE

0:30:400:30:43

We've got an enormous feast in store now. I've got to say,

0:30:500:30:54

personally speaking, that this is one of my favourite duos of all time.

0:30:540:30:59

They're stunningly good-looking,

0:30:590:31:02

virile, attractive to all of the different sectors,

0:31:020:31:06

amazing musicians -

0:31:060:31:09

they are Belshazzar's Feast!

0:31:090:31:11

Hello.

0:31:160:31:18

I tell you what, I don't think much of that compere. What do you think?

0:31:200:31:25

I think he's rather good-looking.

0:31:250:31:27

Sorry. Um, we're going to do a West Country carol.

0:31:270:31:31

It comes from Cornwall.

0:31:310:31:34

APPLAUSE

0:31:340:31:36

I think that is a first, actually. I've never been applauded for saying, "Cornwall."

0:31:390:31:43

Cornwall.

0:31:430:31:44

We'll follow that with a tune from Oswestry.

0:31:440:31:47

MUTED CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:470:31:50

It was written in 1714,

0:31:500:31:53

which I can tell you is quite a difficult time signature.

0:31:530:31:57

LAUGHTER

0:31:570:31:58

So, um, fingers crossed.

0:31:580:32:01

Although, I've found that's not the best method for playing accordion.

0:32:010:32:05

Anyway, so Softly, Good Thomas, written in 1714.

0:32:050:32:09

Of course, in 1714, when Ss were written as Fs,

0:32:090:32:12

this would have been pronounced Foftly, Good Thomaf. LAUGHTER

0:32:120:32:16

Thank goodness Paul Sartin wasn't around then.

0:32:160:32:19

MILD LAUGHTER

0:32:190:32:20

OK.

0:32:220:32:24

You know the chorus to the first one, so please join in.

0:32:240:32:28

# Now the holly bears a berry

0:32:300:32:33

# As white as the milk

0:32:330:32:35

# And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk

0:32:350:32:41

# And Mary bore Jesus, our Saviour for to be

0:32:410:32:48

0:32:550:33:01

APPLAUSE

0:36:590:37:02

Well, one half of them's good, anyway.

0:37:020:37:04

Now, I'm going to come and talk to these raffish characters over here.

0:37:040:37:08

You look as thick as thieves, actually.

0:37:080:37:11

Are you all actually criminals?

0:37:110:37:14

-Yes.

-What have you been sent down for?

0:37:140:37:17

Oh...horrible, nasty doings.

0:37:170:37:20

You really do like quite thuggish. What are you going to do tonight after the show?

0:37:200:37:24

-Are you going to go on the rampage in London?

-We probably will, yes.

-Doing what?

0:37:240:37:29

We might have a little Thai curry, or something.

0:37:290:37:31

-LAUGHTER

-You can tell you're in North London, can't you?

0:37:310:37:34

Bleeding heart liberals.

0:37:340:37:37

Don't get up to too much mischief!

0:37:370:37:39

So, um, now, will you welcome onto the stage,

0:37:390:37:43

the unbelievable, the unsurpassable

0:37:430:37:46

Unthanks!

0:37:460:37:47

Are you all right?

0:37:560:37:58

-AUDIENCE:

-Yes!

0:37:580:38:00

Well, we're going to sing you a song all the way from Northumberland,

0:38:000:38:03

and this is about a New Year's Eve tradition

0:38:030:38:06

where, in Allendale, a place up on the hills,

0:38:060:38:09

the men of the village, they get dressed up in lots of different kinds of fancy dress

0:38:090:38:15

and they put a barrel on their head and in that is tar and paraffin and other highly flammable things

0:38:150:38:22

and they set them on fire and they go off on a parade around the village.

0:38:220:38:25

Then, just before midnight, they come back and throw it on the bonfire

0:38:250:38:29

and it's a really spectacular, beautiful thing.

0:38:290:38:33

One year, when we were there, it snowed as well.

0:38:330:38:35

So my dad, George, was inspired to write this song.

0:38:350:38:39

# Tar barrel in dale

0:38:420:38:48

# Fire in snow

0:38:480:38:55

# Bid farewell to the old

0:39:000:39:08

# The old year out, the new year in

0:39:080:39:16

# Please won't you let the lucky bird in

0:39:160:39:22

# With bottle in hand and a piece of black coal

0:39:220:39:31

# A stranger's a friend when first-footing you go

# At midnight's approach, the band you can hear

0:40:040:40:14

# The fiery procession of guisers draws near

0:40:140:40:22

# With friends and good company, with voices so clear,

0:40:220:40:32

# Bid farewell to the old

0:41:000:41:07

# Off the heads of the guisers, the blazing barrels are hurled

0:41:070:41:15

# On to the bonfire, smoke, sparks and flames swell

0:41:150:41:24

# Amidst cheers and rejoicing, the rites of Old Father Time,

0:41:240:41:33

# We'll link arms together, sing Auld Lang Syne

0:41:330:41:46

# Tar barrel in dale

0:41:460:41:52

# Fire in snow

0:41:520:41:58

# Toast the new year

0:41:580:42:03

# Bid farewell to the old

0:42:030:42:10

# Throughout the year when we sing this song

0:42:100:42:17

# With old friends and new friends sing along

0:42:170:42:26

# May good fortune be with you, from all sorrows refrain

0:42:260:42:37

# Till that happy time when we all meet again

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:350:43:39

# Oh, my name is Betsy Bell, in the Gallowgate I dwell.

0:43:560:44:00

# No doubt you'll wonder what I'm doing here

0:44:000:44:04

# But if you wait a while,

0:44:040:44:06

# Sure, my tale I'll tell to thee

0:44:060:44:08

# It's a tale no doubt you'll think is very queer

0:44:080:44:11

# For I'm looking for a lad, he may be good or bad

0:44:110:44:16

# I'm going to take the best one that I see

0:44:160:44:19

# He may be young or old, curly-headed, fringed or bald

0:44:190:44:23

# Yes, anything that wears the breeks for me

0:44:230:44:26

# For of lads I've had my share, sure, I've had a score or more,

0:44:260:44:30

# But how they threw me off I didn't know

0:44:300:44:34

# For I'm neither prude nor shy, that the lads should pass me by

0:44:340:44:38

# Oh, I wonder what's to do with all the men

0:44:380:44:42

# Now, as I went out last night, sure I met old Sandy Wright

0:44:420:44:46

# And he hauled me in as I was passing by

0:44:460:44:50

# He asked me if I'd wed and this is what I said

0:44:500:44:53

# If you are quite agreeable, so am I

0:44:530:44:57

# Oh, I lost so much of a chance, sure, he'd try and make me dance

0:44:570:45:01

# The marriage was to be right there and then

0:45:010:45:05

# But when I got my marriage frock, he said it was all a joke

0:45:050:45:09

# Oh, I wonder what's to do with all the men

0:45:090:45:12

# Of lads, I've had my share, sure, I've had a score or more

0:45:120:45:17

# But how they threw me off, I didn't know

0:45:170:45:20

# For I'm neither prude nor shy that the lads should pass me by

# Oh, I wonder what's to do with all the men

0:45:240:45:27

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:46:120:46:14

# But if there's any laddie here

0:46:210:46:28

# Who would like a little dear

0:46:280:46:35

# Oh, a doer or a bachelor though he be

0:46:350:46:43

# If of marriage he is bent

0:46:430:46:48

# Then I'd give him my consent

0:46:480:46:54

# It's not every day you get a chance like me

0:46:540:46:59

# For I can weave and I can work, I can sew and mend a sock

0:46:590:47:04

# I'm as thrifty as any lass I know

0:47:040:47:10

# For on the nail I'll hang, but if I get leave to sing

0:47:100:47:22

# Oh, I'll wonder what's to do with all the men

0:47:220:47:26

# Oh, of lads I've had my share, sure, I've had a score or more

0:47:260:47:30
