0:00:05 > 0:00:07'Lo! What do you want?

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Oh, innkeeper!

0:00:09 > 0:00:13My wife Mary is fat with child,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16so I've lugged her all the way from Bethlehem on this rocking donkey.

0:00:16 > 0:00:21Let us into your inn, oh, innkeeper?

0:00:21 > 0:00:26The only rooms we have left, sir, are our king-size Park View Suites.

0:00:26 > 0:00:30- They're eight grand a night. - Sire, I am but a lowly...

0:00:30 > 0:00:32- How much!?- Stop the rehearsal!

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Roger, I've told you already.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Stick to the script!- Come on!

0:00:36 > 0:00:40This material feels like it's 2,000 years old. It needs updating.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Yeah! Instead of a donkey, could I ride into Bethlehem on a speedboat?

0:00:44 > 0:00:47No! No! And whatever he's about to say, no!

0:00:47 > 0:00:50It's the Bible! It doesn't need updating!

0:00:50 > 0:00:53I know exactly what this play needs!

0:00:53 > 0:00:56It needs tradition, like the classic productions!

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Who can forget St Andrew's Primary School Nativity 1981?

0:01:00 > 0:01:04It was full of seminal moments like when the angel wandered off

0:01:04 > 0:01:06into the audience to find their mummy

0:01:06 > 0:01:08cos their halo was too itchy.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13I want moments like that throughout this show.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15HORN

0:01:15 > 0:01:18I, Little Howard, have come up with another

0:01:18 > 0:01:19of my big questions!

0:01:19 > 0:01:23How can I get Father Christmas to star in our Nativity play?

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Come on, people! No-one's supposed to put their head through

0:01:27 > 0:01:29the stable door until act two!

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Read your scripts!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36# I love monkeys, I love monkeys

0:01:36 > 0:01:40# All those happy, little chirpy, little monkeys

0:01:40 > 0:01:42# With their tails and their bananas

0:01:42 > 0:01:44# I think that if we all were monkeys

0:01:44 > 0:01:46# We'd have happier mananas

0:01:46 > 0:01:49# Give me monkeys lots of monkeys

0:01:49 > 0:01:52# For you know that it's the monkeys I adore

0:01:52 > 0:01:56# If my love said that she did not love those monkeys

0:01:56 > 0:02:00# I wouldn't love her any more! # Thank you very much!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05We might have overdone it with the sleigh bells.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10It's a Christmas special! It's not possible to overdo the sleigh bells.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Suppose so.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15That wasn't the sleigh bells,

0:02:15 > 0:02:17he's eaten too many mince pies.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20There are mince pies? Ho-ho-ho!

0:02:20 > 0:02:24Don't get me wrong, I like the ending where we all sing

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Away In A Manger and the star falls on the shepherd's head.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31But imagine how much more impact it would have if,

0:02:31 > 0:02:32while we were singing it,

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Father Christmas smashed through the wall, shouted,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38"Ho! Ho! Ho!" and wished us all a very merry Christmas!

0:02:38 > 0:02:42That's not what happens in a traditional Nativity play!

0:02:42 > 0:02:44And where's the true meaning of Christmas? Hmm?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Exactly! Where's the true meaning of Christmas?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Getting loads of presents.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Precisely! Getting loads...

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Getting presents isn't the meaning of Christmas.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Getting loads and loads of gift vouchers?

0:02:57 > 0:03:01The true meaning of Christmas is Jesus's message that we should

0:03:01 > 0:03:05all be nice to each other and...

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Er, overeating.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Right, it's a done deal.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12I've just ordered 1,000 posters and got every TV executive

0:03:12 > 0:03:15and theatre booker in town to come to what I...

0:03:15 > 0:03:17I mean we, are now calling

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Santa Goes To Bethlehem: The Nativity II - Redux.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24What does redux mean?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26No-one knows, it just sounds good.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28If we get Santa on board,

0:03:28 > 0:03:34we can transfer to any theatre in the West End and get a TV deal.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Directed by Bog Howard? - What do you expect?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41- I got it designed, set and printed in two minutes!- Brilliant!

0:03:41 > 0:03:45All we need to do is find Father Christmas and convince him to sign.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Hello, my good elf. We need to see Father Christmas.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oh, you do, do you?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, you'll have to join the queue like everyone else.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58But there isn't a queue.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01There's no-one at the front, everyone's at the back.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's about a mile in that direction.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07I just want to see if he'd be in our Nativity play tomorrow night.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Tomorrow night!?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10That's Christmas Eve!

0:04:10 > 0:04:14Or E-Day, as we call it in the Chrimbo biz. He's got to deliver

0:04:14 > 0:04:15all the presents in the world!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Any idea how long that takes?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19And Blitzen's got 'ooping cough.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21I just want to ask him...

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Well, he's not here!

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Eight kids have been sick in his beard this morning,

0:04:25 > 0:04:27he's had to take his hat to the cleaners.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- But if we could just...- No!

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Go on, get out of it! Scram! Hop it!

0:04:31 > 0:04:33You flippin' kids.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Oh, and merry Christmas!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Come on, focus, focus, focus.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Eyes on me.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49It turns out, surprise, surprise, that Father Christmas is too busy

0:04:49 > 0:04:52to be in our Nativity play on Christmas Eve.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55So we're going back to my traditional version of the tale.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58I'd like to go from the top of scene four.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01Positions, please!

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Right. If Father Christmas won't sign,

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'll have to find a way to persuade him.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09No more Mr Nice Pigeon!

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Who's Mr Nice Pigeon?

0:05:11 > 0:05:14How am I going to get Father Christmas to star

0:05:14 > 0:05:15in our Nativity play?

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, I'm conducting a letter writing campaign to him

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- and you could write, too. - What are you asking him for?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I'm asking for a lot of dollies this Christmas.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26And ponies, and pink shoes with twinkles on,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28and book of sumo wrestling moves.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- What?- I'm putting it all in writing,

0:05:30 > 0:05:33so Father Christmas doesn't forget anything.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Not one single thing! Look.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Um... That's...

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Lovely.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Focus, focus! Where's our Joseph

0:05:43 > 0:05:47and why's that innkeeper got a screen and a projector?!

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Shut it, flappy. I'm going to

0:05:49 > 0:05:53blackmail the big FC so this show makes sackloads of Christmas wonga.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Unless the whiskery wobble-bottom does the play,

0:05:56 > 0:06:01I will present this live expose of his dark and murky past.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05Has Father Christmas got a dark and murky past?

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Probably not, but he does go under a lot of aliases

0:06:09 > 0:06:13so he must be hiding something. Have a look at this.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18The first sightings of the man we know as Father Christmas

0:06:18 > 0:06:22was in Turkey 1,700 years ago.

0:06:22 > 0:06:29He was a bishop called Saint Nicolas who spent his time putting coins

0:06:29 > 0:06:30in people's shoes.

0:06:30 > 0:06:35The great big weirdo. In Holland he went under the name of Sinter Klause.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38In America, he told them his name was Santa Claus.

0:06:38 > 0:06:44And in Britain he's had several names, Sir Christmas, Lord Christmas

0:06:44 > 0:06:46and, finally, Father Christmas.

0:06:46 > 0:06:52Don't go trying to tell me there's nothing dodgy about... Ow! Ah!

0:06:52 > 0:06:54You leave Father Christmas alone!

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Take that you 'orrible pigeon!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00He brings me dollies!

0:07:02 > 0:07:07If you've all finished I'd like to run through Joseph's crucial

0:07:07 > 0:07:08final speech to Mary,

0:07:08 > 0:07:12during which one of the angels tries to do a handstand,

0:07:12 > 0:07:16everyone sees her knickers and she knocks over half the set.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Little Howard, where are you going?!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21I've got to write a letter to Father Christmas asking him

0:07:21 > 0:07:23very nicely to be in our play!

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ending a Nativity play with Father Christmas

0:07:25 > 0:07:27is a terrible idea, you ask anyone!

0:07:27 > 0:07:31Ending a Nativity play with Father Christmas is a fabulous idea!

0:07:31 > 0:07:34Give us a kiss.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37No. Big Howard says it's not traditional.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, at least he's not coming on and having a poo.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Well, there is that... What?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Nativity scenes in the Catalan region

0:07:44 > 0:07:46of Spain have a Caganer in the corner.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Ca-what-er?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51I... What? I...

0:07:51 > 0:07:57Yes. They have the usual manger, shepherds and three wise men.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00But they also have a small statue squatting down having a poo.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03But... Don't people complain?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06On the contrary, it's hugely popular.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08When the official Nativity scene

0:08:08 > 0:08:13in Barcelona missed the Caganer out, locals kicked up a colossal stink...

0:08:13 > 0:08:14so to speak.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17The next year he was back, at a respectful distance from

0:08:17 > 0:08:21the baby Jesus, happily parking his paella.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22That is amazing!

0:08:22 > 0:08:25But Big Howard isn't too keen on letting

0:08:25 > 0:08:26Father Christmas be in our Nativity.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30I don't think he's going to go for a pooing gnome.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Santa has only...

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Hey, what are you... Hey! No! Get off!

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Help!

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Is there something wrong with your face?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55No. Why are you dressed like that?

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Father Christmas won't see me at

0:08:56 > 0:09:00his grotto and he hasn't answered my letter yet.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03And I did sent it 15 minutes ago!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06So, I'm going to the North Pole to see him myself!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Oh, well, there might not be any need for that because erm...

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- DOORBELL RINGS - I wonder who that can be!

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Look! It's Father Christmas!

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Ho! Ho!

0:09:22 > 0:09:24HE COUGHS

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Er, ho!

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Oh, yeah. Three hos, isn't it? Sorry.

0:09:29 > 0:09:30Hello, Father Christmas.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35You look a bit more skinny and ratty than usual.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Turns out I'm mince pie intolerant.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I only have to have a single mince pie and I'm on the loo all afternoon.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Charming(!)

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- And why's your beard made out of paper?- Paper beard?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Oh, they're all the rage in Laptop-land.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- (Lapland.)- Lapland!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55OK, "Father Christmas".

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Answer these three questions.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01What did I ask for for Christmas?

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Uh... Erm...

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Fleas?- What?!

0:10:08 > 0:10:12Sorry, no, I was mixing you up with that other

0:10:12 > 0:10:14boy that... wanted the fleas for Christmas.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Oh! You want a banana!

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- COUGHS: Monkey! - Ah! You want a cough!

0:10:20 > 0:10:24He wants a monkey for Christmas! For goodness sakes.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Right. You're not doing brilliantly well. Question two.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30What colour is Rudolf's nose.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Er...

0:10:31 > 0:10:36- Rudolf?- Rudolf, your reindeer.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Ah! Brown.- No.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Beige?- No!

0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Fawn?- He does have a lot of reindeer, to be fair.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50It's red! He's called Rudolf The Red Nosed Reindeer!

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- He's your reindeer.- He does spend a lot of time facing the other way.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I know what colour his bottom is. That is brown.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Well, taupe.- Get out.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Who was he?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07He's in my tae kwon do class.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09Right twonko, more like.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10PHONE RINGS

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Just trying to put a bit of magic in Christmas, it's fine...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Hello? Big Howard, Little Howard house,

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Little Howard of the house speaking.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Hello my titchy little chipolata!

0:11:21 > 0:11:24You know Christmas is a time for family?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yes.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30Well, go to Father Christmas's grotto in ten minutes, and you might

0:11:30 > 0:11:34just bump into a kind of half member of your family, sort of.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36Suffering Santa Clauses,

0:11:36 > 0:11:40isn't that Little Albert, Little Howard's evil half-brother, sort of?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43What's going to happen now? And what am I going to get for Christmas?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46I wanted a Wii. And luckily I've got time to have one.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's the commercial break.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Do you have a special playmate this Christmas?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55If not, why not pester your parents or grandparents,

0:11:55 > 0:11:58or anyone you know with the cash to buy you My Little Dolly Doll?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's a little dolly with a big heart, and even bigger head.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Look at the size of that head, it's massive!- Dollies!

0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Oh, no! She's back! - Give me the dollies!

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Call the police!

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Dollies!

0:12:13 > 0:12:16We seem to be having technical difficulties with this ad break.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Here's the other half of the programme you were watching.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Little Albert! What are you doing here?

0:12:26 > 0:12:28I saw your poster and thought I

0:12:28 > 0:12:33- could help you track down Father Christmas.- That's very nice of you.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Well, it is Christmas.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37And it is part of a dastardly evil plan.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, good... Pardon?

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Nothing! I think you'll find the big plum pudding's in here.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Why's the Elf tied up?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49He's training to become a bauble.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53Right, let's go and see Santa.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55ELF MUMBLES

0:12:55 > 0:12:56Hello?

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Father Christmas?

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Ah, Little Howard! Now, I've read your letters and...

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Oh... You two.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Little Albert! Roger! What are you doing?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Oh, now steady on, you two.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Aagh, oh, ah...

0:13:15 > 0:13:20Oh, dear. I'm never going to get a monkey for Christmas now.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Hello, Father Christmas.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'm a big fan, by the way. Love your work.

0:13:32 > 0:13:38Little Howard. There's a fine line between a "big fan" and "kidnapper"

0:13:38 > 0:13:40and you have just crossed it.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43I didn't want to tie you up, I just wanted you to give our

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Nativity play a bit more zing.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Oh, well, that's fine then.- Really?

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Of course not!

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- I have nothing to do with the Nativity!- Oh, please be in it!

0:13:54 > 0:13:59I just want you to deliver a message of goodwill to the audience.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02And to hold you to ransom for all the presents in the world!

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Yes, and to hold you to ransom... What?!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07The Pigeon and I have been talking.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12It seems a shame to just put you in a play, when we could

0:14:12 > 0:14:17keep you prisoner until I am given all the presents on the planet!

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:14:19 > 0:14:22And some cash. I'd like some cash too.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26This is Father Christmas! Have some respect!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I didn't think you'd play along, Little Howard.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Walnut Whip!

0:14:31 > 0:14:35You see, Little Howard, I've never had a single Christmas present

0:14:35 > 0:14:37in all my wretched life.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40To be fair, you have been consistently very

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- naughty for as long as I can... - Silence, Christmas!

0:14:44 > 0:14:48Pigeon, get the electronic video graphic camera recording device.

0:14:48 > 0:14:49I'll just use my phone.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Your telephone?- My mobile.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Have you been living under a rock for the last ten years?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57For part of the time, yes!

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Don't knock it till you've tried it, fatso!

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm not fat! I've just got big feathers.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07That's the problem with naughty people, they never get on.

0:15:11 > 0:15:16- More mince pies anyone?- No, thanks, Mother, these are revolting.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Oh! I meant to tell you, there's something

0:15:19 > 0:15:21been posted online that you might like to see.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Greetings people of Earth!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I, Little Albert,

0:15:29 > 0:15:31have captured Father Christmas,

0:15:31 > 0:15:35and a minor CBBC personality.

0:15:35 > 0:15:40To see them returned safely, I want all the Christmas presents

0:15:40 > 0:15:42in the world!

0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Ah-ha-ha-ha!- And some cash.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48You must all put whatever Christmas presents are under your

0:15:48 > 0:15:53tree outside, to be collected by the squirrels of the world!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55And leave out some cash.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Come on, dig deep. It is Christmas.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00If I don't receive your co-operation,

0:16:00 > 0:16:03I will be forced to...erm.

0:16:03 > 0:16:08Shave Father Christmas's beard off and reveal his secret identity!

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I don't have a secret identity.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- I'm Father Christmas.- Shut up!

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Just...send me your presents, or else!- And some...

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Will you shut up about the cash!

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Right.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23More tea, anyone?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Presents, power and prisoners!

0:16:29 > 0:16:32This must be the best Christmas ever!

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Aw, isn't he sweet?!

0:16:36 > 0:16:38# Christmas comes but once a year

0:16:38 > 0:16:40# Unless you've got what I've got in here

0:16:40 > 0:16:42# Wrestle Santa to the ground

0:16:42 > 0:16:45# And you can have Christmas all year round

0:16:45 > 0:16:48# Knocking Rudolf from the skies

0:16:48 > 0:16:50# He'll have one red nose and two black eyes

0:16:50 > 0:16:55# If you see us two about Good King Wenceslas, look out!

0:16:55 > 0:16:58# Catch and cage Father Christmas

0:16:58 > 0:17:00# Tie him with your stockings to the wall

0:17:00 > 0:17:03# Catch and cage Father Christmas

0:17:03 > 0:17:06# Deck him first then deck the halls

0:17:15 > 0:17:17# Most kids won't need telling twice

0:17:17 > 0:17:20# Caging Father Christmas isn't very nice

0:17:20 > 0:17:25# It's not exactly mistletoe Let my Father Christmas go

0:17:25 > 0:17:27- # Catch and cage Father Christmas - I knew it

0:17:27 > 0:17:30- # Tie him with your stockings to the wall- Don't do it

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- # Catch and cage Father Christmas - He'll be missed

0:17:32 > 0:17:35# This is going to put you on his naughty list

0:17:39 > 0:17:42# You're not showing reverence

0:17:42 > 0:17:45# He's probably good at self-defence

0:17:45 > 0:17:49# It's a time to give not take Don't you make this big mistake

0:17:51 > 0:17:54- # Catch and cage Father Christmas - He won't let you

0:17:54 > 0:17:56- # Tie him with your stockings to the wall- I'll bet you

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- # Catch and cage Father Christmas - He'll get you

0:17:59 > 0:18:02# Deck him first then deck the halls... #

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Look here, let me out of here!

0:18:05 > 0:18:09I've got several billion chimneys to get down!

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I thought he was supposed to be jolly?

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Gum ya beak up, beardface.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18I know, if we cover his cage up he might go to sleep.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm not a bloomin' budgerigar! What's this...?

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Put that... Oh... HE SNORES

0:18:26 > 0:18:28LOUD SMASH

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- Big Howard!- Give me back my dollies!

0:18:34 > 0:18:38Blimey! And I thought I was feral!

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Wallop him, Big Howard! Crush his beak!

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Push his stubby little nose back!

0:18:46 > 0:18:52I'll spank his bottom with your face!

0:18:56 > 0:19:00Oh, no, Howard...no!

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Stop it, ow!

0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Ow!- How did you know where we were?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Mother remembered where you were last time she had

0:19:07 > 0:19:09to rescue you from Little Albert.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Oh! Father Christmas is in the cage.

0:19:11 > 0:19:16Let him out quick so he can deliver all the presents!

0:19:16 > 0:19:19- He's escaped! The hairy swine! - How did he do that?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22He's Father Christmas, you twonk! He's magic!

0:19:22 > 0:19:28Haven't you three got a nativity play to be in about...three minutes ago?

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Arrgh!

0:19:30 > 0:19:33But who can play the Innkeeper as well as Roger?

0:19:33 > 0:19:37Pretty much anyone. Mother, you'll do, come on, quick!

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Dollies! Do-do-do-do-do...

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Hello, my name's Arabella.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Hello, my name's Miranda.- Come on.

0:19:47 > 0:19:55# The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. #

0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Bravo! Excellent! - Father Christmas!

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Hello, everyone!

0:20:13 > 0:20:14What a marvellous show!

0:20:14 > 0:20:17I particularly liked the joke

0:20:17 > 0:20:22where the wise man brought Frankenstein instead of frankincense.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24ALL LAUGH

0:20:24 > 0:20:25Who's Frankincense?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Oh, dear.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Anyway, I just popped by on my travels to say,

0:20:32 > 0:20:38thank you all for saving me, and also to remind you of

0:20:38 > 0:20:41the Christmas message of goodwill to all.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45A time for being with loved ones.

0:20:45 > 0:20:51It is not, and I repeat not, about coming to my grotto,

0:20:51 > 0:20:59bundling me into a sack, and holding me to ransom for cash.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02And also, Merry Christmas!

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Am I forgiven?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13- I think so.- Do I get Dollies?

0:21:13 > 0:21:17You get dollies and some counselling.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18You have issues.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21What's going to happen to Little Albert and Roger?

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Don't worry, I've sorted out those two.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28Oh, and one more thing. Ho Ho Ho!

0:21:28 > 0:21:33# Well, I wish it could be Christmas every day

0:21:35 > 0:21:40# When the kids start singing and the band begins to play... #

0:21:42 > 0:21:45How many of these have we got to do?

0:21:45 > 0:21:4880 million. And that's just for Little Susan.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50I want 'em done by the end of November,

0:21:50 > 0:21:51or we'll cram you full of chestnuts.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54I always wondered how he did it.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Are you still technically an elf at that size?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Shut up and get stitching.
