0:05:27 > 0:05:31Oh, but I do love our Christmas traditions.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Oh, especially our Christmas Eve party.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, the neighbours will be here soon.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Is Uncle Drosselmeyer coming?

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Of course. He comes every year.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46Oh, he's one of our favourite Christmas traditions.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49He always brings the best toys, doesn't he?

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Fred. That's MY jack-in-the-box.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Huh? What jack-in-the-box?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Uncle Drosselmeyer gave him to me last Christmas.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00He's my toy and you can't play with him.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02I wasn't playing with him.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05You stick to playing with your silly little mice.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07They're not silly.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I love them.- Oh, come on, you two.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Play nicely.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15You'd have so much more fun if you played together.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Oh!

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Shh!

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Shh!

0:06:45 > 0:06:46LAUGHTER

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Sugar plum?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Mm!

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Oh, my goodness me.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08We seem to have lost some of our sugar plums.

0:07:08 > 0:07:14Oh, yes. I wonder where they've got to.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20Clara, have you seen any of our missing sugar plums?

0:07:21 > 0:07:25And Fred, I don't suppose you've seen any of them, have you?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Well, if it wasn't Clara and it wasn't Fred,

0:07:31 > 0:07:34maybe one of the toys came to life and ate them up.

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Or it could be the Sugar Plum Fairy.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44The Sugar Plum who?

0:07:44 > 0:07:48She's the ruler of the Land of Sweets.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50There's no such thing.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21# I went to a land where you must be loud

0:11:21 > 0:11:25# I stood on a rock and yelled it about

0:11:25 > 0:11:26# And what did I shout?

0:11:26 > 0:11:28# I hear you enquire

0:11:28 > 0:11:32# I'm funky Uncle Drosselmeyer

0:11:32 > 0:11:35# I went to a land all covered in trees

0:11:35 > 0:11:39# I went to a land that was made of cheese

0:11:39 > 0:11:42# I went to a land where people have wings

0:11:42 > 0:11:44# And everyone sings

0:11:44 > 0:11:45# They sing in a choir

0:11:45 > 0:11:49# I'm funky Uncle Drosselmeyer

0:12:05 > 0:12:07# Every single word of it

0:12:08 > 0:12:12# I went to a land where berries abound

0:12:12 > 0:12:15# I went to a land that was upside down

0:12:15 > 0:12:17# You made it all up

0:12:17 > 0:12:19# I haven't at all

0:12:19 > 0:12:20# The giants were small

0:12:20 > 0:12:23# The children were higher

0:12:23 > 0:12:25# I'm funky Uncle Drosselmeyer

0:12:40 > 0:12:44# In every land, in every town

0:12:46 > 0:12:52# I looked for a mouse with a golden crown

0:12:52 > 0:12:55# He's ever so rare

0:12:55 > 0:12:57# As you can admire

0:12:59 > 0:13:02# Thank you, Uncle Drosselmeyer

0:13:17 > 0:13:22# A colourful toy in soldier attire

0:13:22 > 0:13:26# Thank you, Uncle Drosselmeyer

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Oh, oh.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Uncle Drosselmeyer, that was fantastic.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Do you know what? It is getting late.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53I think it's time to go.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Thank you so much for the party and the wonderful food.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Our pleasure.- It's one of our favourite Christmas traditions.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Happy Christmas! - Happy Christmas!

0:14:08 > 0:14:13# Funky Uncle Drosselmeyer... #

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Queen Mouse.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Where did you find a queen mouse? Where? Where?

0:14:21 > 0:14:26Well, the Queen Mouse lives in a land of cheese, of course.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27She's amazing.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30And she completes my collection.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Oh, thank you so much, Uncle D.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36This is such a beautiful toy, Uncle D.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think it's my best and favourite present ever. Thank you!

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Wow! His eyes move as well.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- What? - I just saw his eyes move.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54It's good to see you're still using your imagination, Clara.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57He can't move his eyes. He's just a wooden toy.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Aren't you?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02No, I just saw his eyes move.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05He looked over there. At Queen Mouse.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Fred, did you see?- No.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Mum, did you?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13No, Clara. You must be tired after all that's dancing.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16No, no. I saw him move his eyes.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19He's a magic nutcracker.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25But if you want to keep it a secret, Uncle D, I'll play along.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31Well, of course, all of my toys are magic in one way or another.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Well, I think my mouse queen is much better then your nutcracker.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Fred!- My nutcracker beats your silly mouse queen

0:15:38 > 0:15:41and all the rest of your toy mice collection.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Who wants to collect toy mice, anyway?

0:15:44 > 0:15:49Well, who wants a silly nutcracker? You... You don't even like nuts.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50Uh-uh-uh-uh!

0:15:50 > 0:15:52I want you to say sorry.

0:15:52 > 0:15:53Both of you.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56- Fine.- Sorry.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Really sorry.- Really, really sorry.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Well done.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Now, children, to bed.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09- It's late.- Say goodnight.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Goodnight.- Goodnight.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Goodnight.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15ALL: Merry Christmas!

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Sweet dreams.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29I love going dancing on Christmas Eve.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31I had so much fun.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I didn't want to leave.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37Outside in the dark, the snow was falling deep.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41Fred and Clara didn't think they could sleep.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52They were both so excited about their new toys.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55I'm not speaking to you.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57No? Well, me neither.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04Night-night.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Night-night.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10But soon, they started yawning.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Then made no more noise.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Midnight.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22When Christmas Eve becomes Christmas Day,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24magical toys come out to play.

0:17:24 > 0:17:29MUSIC: Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky

0:17:33 > 0:17:36When everyone else was asleep in their beds,

0:17:36 > 0:17:41their best-loved toys started moving their heads.

0:17:43 > 0:17:48They opened their eyes and stared all around.

0:17:50 > 0:17:55Then started to lift right up from the ground.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Fred and Clara kept sleeping right on,

0:18:01 > 0:18:05never sensing that anything could be wrong.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Their home lit up bright like a Christmas tree.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Their favourite toys were now breaking free.

0:18:19 > 0:18:24Clara's treasured nutcracker and Fred's prized queen mouse

0:18:24 > 0:18:26vanished incredibly...

0:18:28 > 0:18:29..out of the house.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Then just as quick, all was quiet once more.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42You could even hear their dad's gentle snore.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44SNORING

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Fred!

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Fred! Stop pretending to sleep.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01What?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Did you take my nutcracker?

0:19:03 > 0:19:04No.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07No.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Mouse Queen's gone.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Clara, have you taken her?

0:19:10 > 0:19:12TINKLING

0:19:17 > 0:19:19I've got goose bumps.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21I feel all electric.

0:19:21 > 0:19:22SWOOSHING AND TINKLING

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Uncle D?

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Is that you?

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Keep on practising, you'll be fine.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44You're awake.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48That is... You're not asleep.

0:19:49 > 0:19:55- What are you two doing up? - Are you doing actual magic, Uncle D?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Maybe.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Have you seen my nutcracker?

0:20:02 > 0:20:06I placed him at the end of my bed carefully before I went to sleep.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09And now he's gone. I'm really worried about him.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12And my mouse queen, she's gone, too. I want to find her.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15They've both gone to the Land of Sweets.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Really?- That doesn't sound like a real place.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Oh, it is, Clara. It's very real.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25Full of toys and presents and...

0:20:26 > 0:20:27And what?

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well, I'm not really supposed to tell you.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32BOTH: What?

0:20:32 > 0:20:35I can say, Clara, that your nutcracker

0:20:35 > 0:20:37and your queen mouse, Fred,

0:20:37 > 0:20:40are very important in this extraordinary land

0:20:40 > 0:20:43and they have a great challenge ahead of them.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well, we need to go and find them, then.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49You're not scared to visit another world?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Not to find our special toys.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54By all that is adventurous,

0:20:54 > 0:20:58I think you two are exactly what the Land of Sweets needs right now.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06# Fairytale hour before Christmas Day

0:21:06 > 0:21:12# Magical wonders occur they say

0:21:18 > 0:21:20# With a wave of my hand

0:21:22 > 0:21:25# I'll take you to a mystical land... #

0:21:28 > 0:21:30My mice!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33But they've all come to life.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36And all my toys, too. Hello!

0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Hello.- Wow.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44How did you do that?

0:21:46 > 0:21:54# I'm Uncle Drosselmeyer. #

0:21:58 > 0:22:01To the Land of Sweets!

0:22:16 > 0:22:18ALL: Wow!

0:22:18 > 0:22:20The Land of Sweets.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22It's an amazing place.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26Straight away, it puts a smile on your face.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30It's covered in drifts of sugary snow

0:22:30 > 0:22:33where chocolate trees and jelly flowers grow.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39The children were stunned and full of such joy

0:22:39 > 0:22:45they almost forgot to look for their toys.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49They had no idea what lay ahead

0:22:49 > 0:22:54but they were ever so brave, our Clara and Fred.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Wow! I've never seen so much...

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Snow!

0:23:06 > 0:23:07Is it snow?

0:23:08 > 0:23:10It tastes like sugar.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Sugar snow!

0:23:12 > 0:23:16- But there's no such thing.- We're in the Land of Sweets now, Fred.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20The Sugar Plum Fairy makes sure that everything tastes amazing.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Bsst ba-boom bsst ba-boom!

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Bong-a-bong bong!

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Jack in the box!

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Er, crash the cymbals really loudly?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02No! Don't crash the cymbals.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Oh. Right, sorry.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Right, come on, let's do the next bit.- OK.- Here we go.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10- What are you doing? - We're practising.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Today's the day of the Great Sweetie Dance-off.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14And what's that?

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Well, every Christmas, we... - The toys.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21..the toys have a big dance competition against them.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22- The mice.- The mice.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25And the Sugar Plum Fairy...

0:24:25 > 0:24:26I love her!

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Yeah.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29He really does.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31..decides who's the winner.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34This year, we are so going to win.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Monkey!- Oh, right, no cymbals.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- Got you.- We are going to lift that beautiful,

0:24:39 > 0:24:44sparkling Sugar Plum Trophy high above our heads.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yeah, we are.

0:24:45 > 0:24:50Especially after Jack in the box here lifts me high above his head.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Yeah. What?

0:24:52 > 0:24:53Let's do a lift.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.- Come on. - I do not think that's a good idea.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00- How difficult can it be? - Seriously, you look quite heavy.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04I'm lighter than I look. Come on. Everyone wants it.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Let's do a lift. Come on. - No, no, no, no.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Don't encourage him. - I'm coming for you.

0:25:09 > 0:25:15- You're not go to wind me up. - Here I come.- No, no, no.- Here I...

0:25:15 > 0:25:18Yeah, that was never going to work.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Well, do you often win?

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Not exactly, no.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25We win as often as the mice do.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30- Yeah, which is never. - Never.- So nobody ever wins?

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Not the toys or the mice?

0:25:32 > 0:25:33- No.- No.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35How can that be?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, it always does go truly wrong.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah, oh, every year it's a right muddle.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42Yeah, yeah. So this year,

0:25:42 > 0:25:46the Sugar Plum Fairy says if we can't make it work,

0:25:46 > 0:25:48she's going to cancel it!

0:25:48 > 0:25:51No more Great Sweetie Dance-off!

0:25:51 > 0:25:55We could lose our most favourite Christmas tradition

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- for ever.- Ever!- Ever!- Ever!- Ever!

0:25:59 > 0:26:00E-ver!

0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Which is why we're practising. - Extra hard.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Oh, here she is, our ruler! The president of the Land of the Sweets.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13The Sugar Plum Fairy!

0:26:13 > 0:26:19And her husband, the first gentleman, Christmas Cracker.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Oh, my dearest Sugar Plum.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Hello.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27MUSIC STOPS

0:26:27 > 0:26:29- LAUGHTER - Right, that's awkward.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33- A little help?- Oh, my, is that you, Drosselmeyer?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Oh, welcome back, old friend.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's been far too long.

0:26:37 > 0:26:42And welcome, young strangers, to my delicious domain.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47Ma'am, may I present to you my nephew, Fred, and my niece, Clara.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Now, tell me, what dance do you do?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'm sorry, Your Highness?

0:26:52 > 0:26:53Sorry? Why?

0:26:53 > 0:26:57What have you done? We don't want any more trouble or muddle.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Not on the day of the Great Sweetie Dance-off.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04I'm going, I'm going, I'm going... I've gone. Oh.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Right, cracker down, we have a cracker down.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Would someone...? Thank you.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13We don't want to make any muddle or trouble, sir.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17We just want to find our special and best loved toy - my nutcracker.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20Oh, a fantastic dancer.

0:27:20 > 0:27:24- Really?- Oh, yes, the nutcracker is very impressive.

0:27:24 > 0:27:25He's the leader.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Yeah, of us toys.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29And what about my queen mouse?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well, she is the leader of the mice, of course.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34She's an awesome dancer, too.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Yeah, seriously, she is really good.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Now, as you all know,

0:27:39 > 0:27:42after the total and utter shambles that was last year...

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Shambles.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48..I passed a law in the House of Sweets which states...

0:27:49 > 0:27:51HE SPEAKS NONSENSE

0:27:58 > 0:28:00LAUGHTER

0:28:01 > 0:28:06"If the dancers cannot finish their dances without everyone falling over

0:28:06 > 0:28:11"and hurting themselves, then the Sugar Plum Fairy...

0:28:15 > 0:28:19"..will be forced to cancel the Great Sweetie Dance-off for ever."

0:28:19 > 0:28:23I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going...

0:28:23 > 0:28:27- I'm all right, I'm all right. - Your Great and Royal Highnesses,

0:28:27 > 0:28:31I have brought Clara and Fred here because I believe they can help.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Really?- Us?

0:28:33 > 0:28:38- What can we do?- Uncle D, we don't know anything about dancing.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42Oh, it is time for the Great Sweetie Dance-off to begin.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Right, let's see what you children can do.

0:28:45 > 0:28:46Oh!

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Shambles.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Clara and Fred were both so excited,

0:28:50 > 0:28:54so soon with their toys to be reunited.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57But they can't imagine what they can do.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58How can they help?

0:28:58 > 0:29:01They don't have a clue.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Look, Fred, there's my nutcracker.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Wow, doesn't he look amazing?

0:29:15 > 0:29:17- Woo!- Yeah!- Woo!

0:29:21 > 0:29:24Your nutcracker says he's dancing for you, Clara.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Oh! Good luck, Nutcracker.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Clara, Queen Mouse.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33And Queen Mouse is dancing for you, Fred.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05And please do take care.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Right, are the first-aiders standing by?

0:30:16 > 0:30:20The mice won't need any first aid, don't you worry.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27That's right. We've been practising all night, every night,

0:30:27 > 0:30:29while the children sleep.

0:30:29 > 0:30:35We will float like butterflies and sting your pride like bees.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39And noble Nutcracker, are you ready, too?

0:30:42 > 0:30:43Yeah!

0:30:43 > 0:30:47And the phattest beats.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53- leave their bedrooms.- Yeah?

0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Oh, yeah?- Yes.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Enough.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04Very good. I think we're ready, then.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58# You give me elation, a fine celebration

0:37:58 > 0:38:01# The love of the nation whoever you meet

0:38:01 > 0:38:04# Now that we've started we'll never be parted

0:38:04 > 0:38:07# You are the harmony, we are the beat

0:38:07 > 0:38:10# Forever

0:38:10 > 0:38:14# Forever going to play together

0:38:17 > 0:38:20# Forever

0:38:21 > 0:38:25# Forever going to play together. #

0:38:33 > 0:38:37That was so beautiful!

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Well done, well done!

0:38:41 > 0:38:44But, sweetie, I mean Madam President,

0:38:44 > 0:38:48you need to decide who has won.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50The toys or the mice?

0:38:50 > 0:38:54But they were both so good I can't choose a winner.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57Fred and Clara, who do you think were the best?

0:38:57 > 0:39:02Well, I can't tell but the toys were much better dancing with the mice

0:39:02 > 0:39:04than they were by themselves.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08The mice were better with the toys. You can't divide them for a prize.

0:39:08 > 0:39:13In that case I decree from now on and henceforth from this special day

0:39:13 > 0:39:17the toys and mice shall share dance moves.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20It will no longer be the Great Sweetie Dance-off,

0:39:20 > 0:39:24but instead the Great Sweetie Dance Together.

0:39:24 > 0:39:25Hurray!

0:39:25 > 0:39:26BELL RINGS

0:39:29 > 0:39:32The currant bun sun is rising, my friends.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34It's Christmas morning.

0:39:34 > 0:39:39Oh, no, if you don't get home soon, you could be stuck here forever.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Well, I like it here.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44Perhaps we can come back next Christmas?

0:39:44 > 0:39:46You are all very welcome every year.

0:39:46 > 0:39:50Your visits can become our new Christmas tradition.

0:39:50 > 0:39:55Oh, thank you, ma'am, and thank you everyone, and Merry Christmas.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57ALL: Merry Christmas!

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Oh, bye, Nutcracker.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Bye.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07Clara, come on, we must get home.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18The children ran back through the Christmas tree door and found

0:40:18 > 0:40:22their special toys back on the floor.

0:40:22 > 0:40:28Nutcracker and Queen Mouse were standing together

0:40:28 > 0:40:33as if they had been happily dancing for ever.

0:40:34 > 0:40:39Christmas morning and not a single peep.

0:40:40 > 0:40:45Were Fred and Clara still sound asleep?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Clara!

0:40:51 > 0:40:55Fred! It's Christmas morning.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Oh, Fred, I think we slept in.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02You've normally got up and opened your presents by now.

0:41:02 > 0:41:06We went to the Land Of Sweets with Uncle Drosselmeyer last night.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08My nutcracker.

0:41:08 > 0:41:13Oh, yes, and we saw an amazing dance competition between Queen Mouse

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- and the Nutcracker.- Did you?

0:41:16 > 0:41:17Are you sure it wasn't a dream?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, they can't have had the same dream.

0:41:20 > 0:41:24Oh, it looks like Fred and Clara are playing together.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Is this true?

0:41:26 > 0:41:30Did you take my children to the Land of Sweets last night?

0:41:30 > 0:41:33Oh, well, I thought since it was Christmas Eve,

0:41:33 > 0:41:35an extra bit of magic wouldn't hurt.

0:41:35 > 0:41:39I thought I'd introduce them to the Sugar Plum Fairy.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42Well, I suppose as long as you were there

0:41:42 > 0:41:44to look after my little darlings.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48And that is the end of our Christmas show.

0:41:48 > 0:41:52But one more thing to say before we go.

0:41:52 > 0:41:57Clara and Fred now love to play together.

0:41:57 > 0:42:03They're going to have fun for ever and ever!

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Come on, everyone, sing along.
