Welcome to Sparkhill, Birmingham, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
the capital of British Pakistan. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:08 | |
Community leader. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
They all know me... You like my suit? | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Number one - Citizen Khan. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Merry Christmas, neighbour. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:35 | |
What do you think? | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Why does everyone cover their bloomin' houses in lights | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
every Christmas? You people not heard of global warming? | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Oh, careful, Mr Khan, sounds a bit bah-humbug. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
Good. Now, bah-humbugger off! | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Hang on, is that my ladder? | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Mrs Khan said it'd be OK. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
Bloomin' cheek. My ladder. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Well, maybe if you're a good boy, Father Christmas will bring you one of your own. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
What was that? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
Whoa! | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
Aaargh! | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
Oi! | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
-Not working! -It's a problem with the dish. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-SPEAKS URDU -...lazy bugger! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Shazia, why do you let her sit in my chair? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
You know she leaves hairs all over it. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
She's highlighting all the telly she wants to watch over Christmas. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Why don't we ever do Christmas properly, Dad? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Because we're Pakistani. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Bing Crosby isn't dreaming of a brown Christmas, is he? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Couldn't we at least put up some tinsel? It's Christmas Eve. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Other people have real trees and they have lights on their houses | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
and wreaths on their doors, like Matt and Debbie. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Oh, not Matt and Debbaay! | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
No-one likes all that stuff. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
They only do it because they have to. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
We're Muslim, we've got excuse. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
You just don't want to spend any money. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
That's not true, I'm very generous. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-Look. -What's that? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
It's for the mosque charity collection. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
Biggest donor gets named in the newsletter as Muslim of the Month. Good, eh? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
But these are all MY things. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Which you have generously donated. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
These are my shoes. They're brand new. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
It's for charity, Shazia. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
-Which charity? -That's not important. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
The important thing is, we give them a really big box of stuff and I win. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:38 | |
Well, shouldn't we be giving away old things we don't want any more? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Don't tempt me. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Papaji, you can take these. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
-Thank you, Alia. -Hopefully | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
they can help someone who can't afford to buy make-up. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
Such a good girl! | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Can I have some money to go out? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
Yes, of course. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |
Now, come on, help me find some other stuff to give away. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
No! Not my signed photo of Miss Clare Balding! | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
Vah! What a woman! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Why do you like her so much? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
We Pakistanis love her. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
She loves her sport, she's very healthy | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
and she's friends with Mo Farah. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Now, I'm going to give Miss Balding her pride of place. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
Just move you out of the way. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Mum doesn't like people moving her things, Papaji. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
She won't know, beti. Who's going to tell her - him? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
ASIAN MUSIC PLAYS | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Oh, God! Agh! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Shush! | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-SPEAKS URDU -...idiot! | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
SPEAKS URDU ...get out of my bloody chair! | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-SPEAKS URDU -...fix bloody telly? | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
I'm doing it. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
You see, Shazia, that's all we need for our Christmas. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Two weeks in front of the telly with a plate of chicken biryani. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
How much more Christmas can you get? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
Please, Dad. What about a bit of tinsel? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Chup! How many times? We're not doing Christmas and that's final! Baas! | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
Your father has spoken. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
We're doing Christmas! | 0:04:12 | 0:04:13 | |
-What? -That was Auntie Fatma. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
They're all coming over, so I've decided we're doing Christmas! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
Exciting, isn't it? | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
But, sweetie... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
For one day, my whole family will be together in one place. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
So I want to do a traditional Christmas before it's too late. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
What are you talking about? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Think about it. Shazia's always wanted us to do Christmas. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
This will be our last chance before she marries Amjad and leaves us. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
And soon Alia will be off to university. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
And what about my mother? She won't be here for ever. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
I wouldn't bet on it. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
It's now or never. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:48 | |
Mum's right. We should all do Christmas together. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
Why, thank you, Alia. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
-So, can I go out? -No! | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Right, now, we just need a few things. A Christmas tree, | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
some decorations, a turkey... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
And some crackers! And some mince pies. And some Christmas lights! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
It's too late. It's Christmas Eve! | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Come on, where's your Christmas spirit? Don't you remember | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
the first Christmas we had in this country? | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
-Remember how cold it felt after Pakistan? -Yes. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
We spent the whole day huddled in front of that single-bar heater | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
in the flat in Ladywood. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
Yes. We were so close to it, we both singed our moustaches. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Oi! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
So can we do Christmas then? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-No! -Yes! -Yay! | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
Right, I'll get the food and you get the tree and all the decorations. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
But I've got to get my charity donations to the mosque. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
Oh, yes, and don't forget to fix the satellite dish for Naani. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Oh, God! | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
Come on! | 0:05:48 | 0:05:49 | |

I don't! | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Oh! | 0:05:59 | 0:06:00 | |

Shut up! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |

Honestly! | 0:06:45 | 0:06:46 | |
Merry Christmas. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
Ah! Salaam aleikum, Merry Christmas... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
Salaam aleikum, Merry Christmas. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
Ah, Salaam aleikum, Mr Khan. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-It's me. -Oh. Hello, Dave. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
What the hell is going on? | 0:07:01 | 0:07:02 | |
The local church is using the community centre for their Christmas Fayre. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
And what's next? Kumbaya instead of the call to prayer? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
We can still celebrate Christmas. After all, Jesus is a Muslim prophet too. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
Yes, but he's not the best one. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
I think it's a great opportunity to bring the whole community together. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
And what about my charity donations? | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Aha, what have we here? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
Oi! Hands off, Dibley. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
This is Reverend Green, Mr Khan. The charity donations are all for him. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
No bloody way! | 0:07:29 | 0:07:30 | |
It's all right, you still get to be Muslim of the Month. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
Oh, right. Well, in that case, please accept my generous donation... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-your holiness. -Thank you. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
-So, what you going to do with them? -Well, we'll sort through it all, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
put some stuff with the bric-a-brac. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
Anything really good will be wrapped for Santa's grotto. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
No need to sort it. This is all top quality. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
You want to stick it straight up your grotto. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
It's very generous of you. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
You're welcome, Revy. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
You know, charity is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
You can convert if you want. We'll take anyone. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Look at Dave. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:01 | |
Thank you, but I could never abandon my flock. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
-You've got a flock? -Yes, I am their shepherd. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
And I've grown very close to some of them over the years. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Crikey! And I thought we had problems. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
What do you think, Mum? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:21 | |
-Hm? -For Amjad? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
We said we weren't going to buy each other presents, | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
because we're saving up for the deposit on the flat, but I couldn't resist it. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
It's very nice. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
It's hard though, isn't it, choosing presents? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
It's got to be what they want, | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
but without them realising it's what they want. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Ah, like the time I got your father a new razor for his back hair. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
Exactly! | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
What's the best present you've ever had? | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-A Dancing Arab. -A what? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
A Dancing Arab. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
It's just a little thing. It's on the sideboard in the living room. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
That? But that's... | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
I know. Cheap and nasty. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
But, you see, beti, when I was a little girl, | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
my father always favoured your Auntie Fatma. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Then, one year, he gave me a present. The Dancing Arab. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
He said he'd seen it in the bazaar and he thought I'd like it. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
I've always kept it because it meant that my Papaji loved me. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
I hope Amjad's got me something nice. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
I thought you said you weren't getting each other presents. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
I know, but he knows I didn't mean it. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
How's the turkey? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
Fine. I got the last one in the whole supermarket! | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
It's huge! Do you know how long to cook it for? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
Of course. It's just a big chicken. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Is it Halal? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Oh, my God! Oh, my God! | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
It's OK, it's fine. It says it here. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Oh, praise be to ASDA! | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Enjoying the Fayre, Mr Khan? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
Not really. Have you seen the price of this stuff? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
As far as I'm concerned, Christmas is just an excuse to get money out of people. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
I do wish you'd enter into the spirit of it, Mr Khan. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
You might find that Christmas can be a very enjoyable and uplifting experience. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
Really? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
You know, I might take you more seriously if you weren't dressed as... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
What are you dressed as? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:18 | |
Can't you guess? It's a Christmas Fayre. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
A gingerbread man? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
-No. -Because you're a ginger. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
I'll give you a clue - I've got a very shiny nose. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Sir Alex Ferguson? | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
I'm Rudolph. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
The red-nosed reindeer? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
Seriously, Dave, where's your pride? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
Where's your dignity? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
I've never seen anyone looking so ridiculous in all my life. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
Maybe I have. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
-Salaam aleikum, Mr Khan. -Salaam aleikum. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Waleikum assalam. What are you doing here? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
-We're here to help out. -I like the Christmas. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
In Somalia, everybody celebrates Christmas Day. We have a big party. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
It goes on all night long and everybody sings and dances | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
and fires their guns in the air. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
What, and then you have a big lie-in on Boxing Day? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
No, Boxing Day is very sad time | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
when we bury those killed by the falling bullets. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
You two should be ashamed of yourselves - dressed like that! | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
We're representing our community here. It's not bloody pantomime! | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-BOTH: -Sorry. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
-Where's Amjad? BOTH: -He's behind you. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
Hello, sir. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
Hello, Amjad. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
You see? No silly costumes. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:31 | |
I'm the Christmas fairy. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
Oh, God! | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
Are you doing some last-minute present shopping? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
No, Shazia and me agreed we weren't going to get each other presents. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
Right. But you got her one anyway. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
No. She told me not to. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
I'm not sure she really means that, Amjad. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
What? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:51 | |
The women say that, but it is a test to see if you really love them. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:56 | |
But I do really love her. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
Oh, no! | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
How are we all getting on? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
We're getting ripped off, that's how we're getting on. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
This stuff costs a bloody fortune! | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
But it's all for a good cause. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
So, tell me, your Fathership, how much discount do you get? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
I'm not sure I know what you mean. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
Come on, Viccy, it's the church Christmas Fayre. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
You must get trade price. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
-Don't tell me you pay retail! -Really, Mr Khan... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
Supposing someone wants to get some tinsel, | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
some crackers, some shiny little balls, maybe a tree.... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
-We haven't got any trees. -You must do. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Sorry. But you have left it a bit late. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
You should have got your tree early, Mr Khan. That's what I always do. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
You know what, Dave? This is the worst Christmas Fayre this mosque has ever had! | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |

Ah! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Right. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:52 | |
-Oh, Merry Christmas, mate! -Salaam aleikum. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
How can I help you? | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
I'm looking for Christmas tree. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:58 | |
Ah, it's your lucky day, I've got one left. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
-How much? -50 quid. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
£50? Is it a famous tree? | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
I don't think so. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
I don't want the actual tree Baby Jesus was born in. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
I want the ordinary one. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
That's all I've got, mate. Look, we do wrap it up | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
and deliver it to your car for you. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:14 | |
For £50 I expect you to bring it home, | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
put it up and stick a bloody fairy on top. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
That's just how much it costs. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
Can't you do a deal for Muslims? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
We don't believe in Christmas, it should be cheaper for us. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Hey, what are you doing? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:27 | |
-I'm getting a Christmas tree. -That's mine. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
-You haven't bought it, have you? -Well, I was going to. -It's too late. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
Aah! Ohh! | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
But he hasn't got any others. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:36 | |
Why don't you try somewhere else? | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
I suppose. But my daughter will be very disappointed. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
It's her first Christmas, you see. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:46 | |
And I promised I'd bring back a proper tree. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
And she may not get another one. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
I find it hard to manage alone. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
I mean, her mother's around, but she doesn't help much. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
And after the accident... | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Fair enough, mate. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Thank you. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
Thank you. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:08 | |
Come on, come on. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
Come on! | 0:14:11 | 0:14:12 | |

Oh, hello, sweetie darling. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
Yes, I've got the tree and I'm on my way home. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
What thing? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Sweetie, calm down, I don't know what you're talking about. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
What, that stupid Arab thing? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
That's what I said, that stupid Arab important family heirloom thing. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
Yes, of course I've got it! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Yes, I know how important it is to you. Why would I lose it? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
OK, bye, sweetie. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Oh, twaddi! | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
-Oi! -Ah! | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
It's a Christmas miracle! | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Oh, God! | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
-Er, excuse me, there's a queue. -What are you doing? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-To the back, we've been here for ages. -All right! | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
We've spent ages waiting. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |

-Where is it, where is it? -Mr Khan? | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
Hai! | 0:17:49 | 0:17:50 | |
Salaam aleikum and a Merry Christmas. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
I was just making sure you had a full sack. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
Oh, no worries there. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
I'd better get suited up and start giving this lot out. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
No, you can't do that! | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
Well, I am Santa. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Yes. I know. But, er...why don't you let me do it? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
I thought you didn't do Christmas? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:08 | |
I know, but I was thinking, | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
we Muslims should get more involved in this whole Christmassy thing. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
-It's so much fun, isn't it? -Well, yes... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
Deer old Rudolf, piggy pudding | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
and the Cliff Richard Christmas Carol Vordermans. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
Yes, but the thing is... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:22 | |
And imagine how great it would be for community relations | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
for you to have a brown Santa, hm? | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
But I do it every year. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:28 | |
Are you saying you can't have a brown Santa? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
No, of course not, no. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
Santa should be Pakistani - he's got big bushy beard, | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
he flies halfway round the world to get here and he works on Christmas Day. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:38 | |
I suppose I could nip out for a cup of tea and a mince pie. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
Off you go, then. I'll take it from here. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Why do they wrap them up? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
Santa, you have to help me! | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
I need to get a present for my fiancee. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:02 | |
She said we weren't doing presents, | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
so I thought she didn't want me to get one. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
But it turns out she meant she did want me to get one. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
So I have to get one! | 0:19:09 | 0:19:10 | |
Ho-ho-ho! | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
It's not funny! | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
Amjad! It's me! Mr Khan. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
You're Father Christmas? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
But if...? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Then how...? | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
When? | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
Right, I haven't got time for this. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
But, sir, I need to get a present for Shazia. I've looked everywhere. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
You see, this is what happens | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
when we Pakistanis get involved with other people's traditions. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
I bet you don't find other men running around | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
looking for last-minute Christmas presents for their fiancees! | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
What am I going to do? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
I'm like the worst fiance in the world. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
Here. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
Thanks, Mr Khan Santa! | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
You're welcome. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:56 | |
Oh, twaddi! | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
Hello, Father Christmas. This is Bradley. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
Oh, God! | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
Sit down. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:06 | |
What do I do? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
You give him a present. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:11 | |
Oh, twaddi! | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
Salaam aleikum. There you go. Merry Christmas. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:17 | |
Can't I choose my present? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
No! It's Santa's Grotto, it's not flipping Argos! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
But how do you know I'll like it? | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
It's a foot spa. You'll love it. Now come on, off you go. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
-I'll have it. -You're not really Father Christmas! | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
Well done, Sherlock. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
Hey, what do you think you're doing? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Cool. -No! You can't have that. Put it back! | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
No way! | 0:20:40 | 0:20:41 | |
-I'll swap you the whole sack for it. -No. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
Give it here! | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
Bradley! What's going on in there? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Santa's stealing my present! | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
You! Now, look... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:53 | |
First the Christmas tree, now... | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |

'Sweetie, I had a bit of trouble with the car, but I'm on my way.' | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
What trouble? How are you getting here? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
I found alternative transportation. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
Oh, God, what are you doing? Not through the Muslim area! | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Salaam aleikum! | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
There's one there. Where are you going? | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Not through there! | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
HE GROANS | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Oh, twaddi! Please, no! | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
Merry Christmas! | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
Come on, Amjad. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:14 | |
I don't think I like Christmas any more. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
So kind of you to invite me to your...family Christmas. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
Well, once Amjad and Shazia are married, you will be part of our family. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
How nice. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
And thank you so much for the presents. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
Oh, please, it was nothing. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
And of course I knew you wouldn't be buying any. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
-WHISPERS: -Mum. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:45 | |
I don't think the turkey's cooked. It looks dead pasty. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
OK, turn it up to max. Give it all we've got! | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
I'm really tired, sir. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:58 | |
Amjad, shut up. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
I'm the one doing the work now! | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
CHILDREN SHOUT | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
Ohhh! | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
The kids are getting closer, sir! | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
Aghhh! | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Oh, it's going to be wonderful, a perfect Christmas! | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
And when the tree's up and all the decorations are up, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
it's going to be lovely, lovely, lovely! | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |

Ho-ho-ho! | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Hello, sweetie. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
I got your thing. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
What happened? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
The kids caught up with us on the Stratford Road. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
They took everything. It was horrible. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
So...the tinsel? | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
The decorations? | 0:23:51 | 0:23:52 | |
The crackers? | 0:23:53 | 0:23:54 | |
What about the tree? | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
You've ruined everything! | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
I got your stupid thing back. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
And I've got you a tree. What more can I do? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-SPEAKS URDU: -...or fix bloody telly! | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
Oh, Christmas! Merry Christmas! | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
This is nice. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:38 | |
Interesting choice, having a pigeon instead of a turkey. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
I wanted this all to be so nice. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
And now it's ruined. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Come on, Mum. At least you'll get to see your sister. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
Oh, I forgot to say, Auntie Fatma called. She's not coming. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
But we've still got the tree, and the presents, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
and Dad's fixing the telly for Naani and you've got Grandad back safe and sound. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:07 | |

You idiot! What have you done? | 0:25:45 | 0:25:46 | |
It's not my bloody fault! | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
This is the problem with Christmas, it never goes right! | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
I tried telling you all, but did anyone listen to me? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
Oh, no! | 0:25:56 | 0:25:57 | |
Maybe you're right. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
What was I thinking? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
Christmas isn't for us. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
I should never even have tried. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
Come on, get up. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:09 | |

Up, everyone. Come on, up, up. And you, come on. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
Come on. Bloody Christmas! | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
