WIND WHISTLES | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
Are you sure we're going the right way? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
How many times have you actually been to this house? | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Don't worry, I'm like a homing pigeon, me. I go somewhere once... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Eat everything you can find, spread disease | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
and leave the place covered in crap. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
I can't believe you're still annoyed with me. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Lee, I agreed to spend Christmas with you for one simple reason. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
So I could get away from my mum and dad. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
And what do you do? Invite them along too. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
They invited themselves. What could I say? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
You could've said, "No." You could've said, "Sorry, you aren't invited." | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
I could've said, "Geoffrey, could you get your hands off my throat and stop gripping my testicles?" | 0:00:56 | 0:01:01 | |
He wants to make sure I keep my hands off his grubby daughter. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
I might have said that wrong, but you know what I mean. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
No, he doesn't. He knows you're just the paying lodger. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Auntie Maureen's been asking me to visit again for years, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
but I've never been that keen on her so I kept putting her off, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
-but now I feel the time's finally right. -Why? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Because she's dead. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
The place has just been standing empty for years, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
and my cousin said it's the last chance to use it before it gets sold off, so I thought why not? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
-Well, I notice you didn't invite your dad. -I did, actually. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
But I think the way I pronounced "Yorkshire Dales" put him off joining us. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
How did you pronounce it? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
"Angola". | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Well, you know what he's like. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
If he knew we were coming, he'd turn up. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
The last thing we need is any more unwanted baggage. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
SHE YAWNS | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Are we close? | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
We'll be there soon. We just have to stop for provisions first. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Are you sure this shop will have everything we need? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Dad is very particular about his Christmas dinner. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Trust me. It's a proper, old-fashioned country store. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
All traditional stuff that your dad is going to love. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Just watch, Lucy. Christmas starts here. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
WIND WHISTLES | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
I think they've downsized since my last visit. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Which was when? | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
1976. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Cashier number one, please. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
What can I get you? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
Don't worry, love, we'll use the self-scanning facilities. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
Actually, I've brought a list. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
Bechamel sauce. Pancetta. Cinnamon. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
Grated nutmeg. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
Probably just skip to the bit where it says "potatoes". | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Preferably very misshapen ones with all the green roots sticking out. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Sorry to be so specific it's just that... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
Oh, you have got some. Fantastic. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
We only stock the essentials. This is a traditional country shop. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
What country, North Korea? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Well, there were a time I had a real shop. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
But you know how it goes. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
They built the bypass, Tesco Express opened 35 miles away | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
and I was buggered. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Well, they do say these things come in threes. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
SWING CREAKS | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |

WIND WHISTLES | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
CHAIR CREAKS | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Ta-da! | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
So, what do you think? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
I think I'm going back to that potato van, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
ask her if she's got any rooms to let. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Well, I think it's charming. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Charming? What kind of idiot would think this was charming? | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Oh, wow! This is charming! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
Look, that chair over there is rocking on its own. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
It's not doing it on its own. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
It's probably a gust of wind coming through the door. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
WIND CONTINUES | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
All right, through the window. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Well, I think it might be something a little more supernatural. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:26 | |
Yeah, course it is, Daisy. That's the thing about ghosts. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
They've got no earthly form, apart from massive arse cheeks. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:33 | |
I've been told I have a sixth sense. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:34 | |
Yeah, right. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
My grandma once appeared at the end of my bed. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
She told me I had a gift. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Was your grandma alive at the time? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Yes. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Was it your birthday? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
Whoa! This is freaky. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
CHAIR CREAKS | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
-It won't stop rocking, Lee. -I know. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
It's like the Status Quo of chairs. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
There you go, sorted. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-Right, I'm going upstairs. -Good idea. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
I'll straighten this place up ready for your mum and dad. You two go and freshen up. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Yeah, all you'll need is a duster, some soapy water | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
and a bulldozer and this old wreck might start to look half decent. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
Oh, don't be hard on yourself - just have a bath and put some make-up on. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
RECORD CRACKLES | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
MUSIC: "Last Christmas" by Wham! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Oh, wow! Good job. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Well, all this cottage needed was a bit of a clean and some George Michael. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
Blimey, I must be feeling festive - | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
I just said the words "cottage" and "George Michael" and didn't do the obvious gag. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
You mean the one about the dog with no nose? | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Well, I see somebody's been busy with the old spit and polish. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
Well, that's another version of the George Michael gag, I suppose. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:12 | |
This is for you, from Lucy. I wonder what it is? | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
-I hope it's what I think it is. I dropped enough hints. -What? | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-A PlayStation Portable. -Shouldn't you have outgrown that by now? | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
I would've done if she'd bought it me last year like I asked. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
-I got this for Lucy. -What is it? -Oh, just something small. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
You know what they say, "It's not the size of your package that counts, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
"it's how big your penis is." | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
-So, er, what is it? -Oh, isn't it obvious? | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
Well, you must have heard her dropping all those hints about how much she loves silk. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
And how her neck gets cold in bad weather. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Oh, great, we've got her the same thing! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
What, you got her a Spider-Man balaclava as well? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Blimey! Am I in a different house? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
Yes, we're on holiday remember? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
Oh, wow! This looks great. Well done! | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
Dad might not mind this place after all. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Right. Time to siphon the python. Anyone? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
Oh, no, no. Wrong phrase. That's not the cup of tea one, is it? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
So, erm, you've not been here since you were a little boy? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
No. Auntie Maureen was away for Christmas | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
so me and my dad came up here on our own. Just the two of us. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
Although I didn't see much of him. He left me to entertain myself in front of the box. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
I wouldn't have minded if we'd had a television, | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
but there's only so much entertainment you can get from 26 Shredded Wheat. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-I was glad when Ralph turned up. -Ralph? | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Yeah. He was the son of some woman my dad was seeing. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
We used to play down in that cellar over there. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Used to play a great game called coalface. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
Basically I used to throw loads of coal at his face. Happy days. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
Is that where you got the kindling for the fire? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
No, I can't open it. Door's locked. No key. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
So what did you use? | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
-I chopped up that old rocking chair and used that instead. -Lee! | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
What? It was freaking you out, and I needed the wood. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
That chair looked really old. You shouldn't have burnt it. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Lucy's right. Guess what I've just discovered? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:14 | |
How to count to 20 with your socks on? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
No. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:18 | |
The fridge light only comes on when you open the door. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
Does it?! | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
So, what have you discovered? | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
This - a photograph. A very old photograph | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
-Oh, my God, Lee. -What? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
If it's that one of me dressed as a Chinese boy, it's not racist. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
I was about to sneeze. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
It's a picture of a boy in a rocking chair. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
It says on the back "Christmas Eve, 1893". | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
I hate to tell you this, but I'm getting a strong feeling | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
that the child in that photograph... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
is dead. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
Maybe it was the ghost of this boy | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
that was making that chair rock earlier. Until you burnt it. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
Look, there's nothing spooky about this house. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
I've been here before remember? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
So, can you stop acting like terrified little children? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Don't hurt me! | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
It's just Dad. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:18 | |
I know. Why do you think I said, "Don't hurt me"? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
So, you got here all right then, Geoffrey? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
No, we died halfway here in a car accident. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
Ah... The plot thickens. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:29 | |
-So, what's in the box? -A turkey. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
There's also several bags of food and drink in the back of the car. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
Oh, brilliant! Thanks, Dad! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
That's very generous of you, Geoffrey. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
But I did make it clear that I was arranging all the supplies this week. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Yes, you did. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:43 | |
That's why we brought a turkey and several bags of food and drink. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
But I can leave it all in the car if you don't need it. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
Do you need it? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-Yes. -Good. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
It's all in the boot, Lee. Car keys in the bowl. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Maybe we should unpack the car before we get on to the wife-swapping. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Sorry about Geoffrey. He does like things done in a certain way. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
All right, we'll do the wife-swapping first. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
Well, this all looks very...cosy. Not really what I was expecting. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
No. I must admit, I arrived here expecting a dump. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
No need to ask, Geoffrey, just go and have one. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
I'll... I'll go and get the rest of the food. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
By the way, who was that child we passed on the way in? | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
WIND WHISTLES | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
What child? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
There was a young boy standing at the gatepost as we drove in. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
Did he look like this? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
I couldn't really see. His face was shrouded with a hood. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
Did he look... | 0:10:54 | 0:10:55 | |
like this? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
I told you, Wendy, there was no boy. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
It must have been a sheep. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
There you go. A sheep. That explains everything. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-It wasn't a sheep. -It's quite possible to mistake a sheep for a young man on a dark night, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
especially when you're going at speed. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
..Your Honour. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:16 | |
So, now we have a rocking chair, a photograph | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
and a boy with the power to turn into a sheep. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Daisy thinks the house is haunted. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
How exciting! Who by? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Hard to say, but I think probably... | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
a ghost. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
A ghost that Lee has awoken from its slumber. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
It's been here for 120 years and it's very unhappy with him. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
I've only been here five minutes and I know how it feels. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
There's no such thing as ghosts, Daisy. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
There you go - a sensible voice at last. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
So, are you going to bring the rest of that food in then, Lee? | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
WIND WHISTLES | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Actually, I'll do it in the morning. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
Right! Who fancies a small glass of brandy to start the Christmas week? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
-Or a large glass? -I think I'll have a bath. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Oh, thirsty. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:13 | |
I know you're going to say I'm paranoid, but I don't think your dad likes me. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
Oh, don't be silly. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
Of course you're not paranoid. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
Trust me, I can tell he's happy by looking at his hands. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
-What about his hands? -They're not around your neck. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
Thanks again, Lee, for inviting us here, it's very kind of you, isn't it, Geoffrey? | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
-MUTTERING: -Yes, yes. Very good of you. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
I hope we're not spoiling any plans you might have had by joining you for Christmas, Lee. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:51 | |
No, no plans. Just a good old traditional Christmas, | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
staring at stockings, wondering what's inside them, | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
wanting to...rip them open. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
Your chestnuts...roasting on an open fire. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Hey, look what else I've found! | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
Some old sheet music for the penny whistle. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Just like the boy's playing in the photograph. Silent Night. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
Where do you keep finding this stuff? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Just lying around in the kitchen. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Almost as if someone wanted us to find it. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
-Maybe we're being sent a message. -Yeah, course we are, Daisy. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
"You burned my rocking chair, and despite the fact that I'm dead, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
"I'm going to seek revenge by turning into a sheep | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
"and leaving music of Christmas songs lying around." | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
All makes complete sense to me. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
Did this ghost used to write the clues on 3-2-1? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
GLASS SHATTERS | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-What was that? -MORE GLASS SHATTERS | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
It's coming from the cellar. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |
But it's locked. Who could have got down there? | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Who do you think? | 0:13:56 | 0:13:57 | |
Who knows this old house better than anyone? | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
Shakin' Stevens? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
I should have known. It's coming from behind a green door. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-CRASHING -Oh, God! | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
It's OK. There's nothing to be scared of. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
He's right, Lucy. It's probably just rats. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
Yeah, course it is. There's nothing to fear down there. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
But just to put her mind at rest, Lee, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
wrench that cellar door open and go down there and check. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
What? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
Stop Lucy's mind racing. And Daisy's. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
Although I suspect that's more of a three-legged race. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
-Hang on. Listen. -What? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
I think it's stopped. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
Are you sure? I can't hear anything. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
Geoffrey's right. Must be rats. But they've obviously gone away. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
I think we're all letting our imaginations run a little wild, don't you? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Maybe we should all just go to bed. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Good idea. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:04 | |
Geoffrey, Wendy, you're in the room just next to Daisy and Lucy, | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
and I'm right on the other side of the house, all on my little ownsome. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
Don't worry, Lee, the rats can't get you up there. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
Just the ghost of the disgruntled, dead child that you want to watch out for. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
DOOR CREAKS OPEN | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
FOOTSTEPS CREAK ON FLOORBOARDS | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
HE YELLS | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-What the hell are you doing?! -I heard a noise downstairs. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
Well, I'm not apologising for that, I was terrified. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
It sounded like a musical instrument being played. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Like the one that boy was holding in that picture. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
Oh, not this again. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
Ghosts don't exist, Lucy. There are no ghosts. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
I do not want to hear the word "ghosts" mentioned again. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
PENNY WHISTLE PLAYS SILENT NIGHT | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
Oh, Christ, it's a ghost! | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
Lucy, what are you doing? | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
If your dad comes in here, he'll have my bollocks as baubles. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
I mean it, Lucy. Get out! | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
No chance. There's a dead thing down there blowing a penny whistle. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
If your dad walks in here, he'll think you're blowing MY penny whistle! | 0:16:45 | 0:16:50 | |
PENNY WHISTLE CONTINUES | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
What do you think it wants? | 0:16:56 | 0:16:57 | |
I dunno. I only know about ghosts from that Patrick Swayze film. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
I don't know if he wants to kill me or sit at a potter's wheel and do me from behind. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
That's not what happened in that film. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
You didn't see the version I saw. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
It's stopped. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
Maybe he's gone away. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
DOOR BANGS OPEN | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
BOTH SCREAM | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
She's scared of ghosts. Nothing I'm doing. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-What the hell's going on? -Nothing. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Nothing? You're in bed with my daughter. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
How could you lower yourself like this? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Oh, don't be like that, she's not a bad-looking girl. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:40 | |
Honestly, Dad, there's nothing going on. I promise. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
I heard creepy noises and I was scared. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
Hmm, well, any strange noise in this house is probably | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
caused by Lee pretending to be a ghost. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
-I'm not doing anything. -Course you are. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
You're playing tricks on Lucy because you want to put the willies up her. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:55 | |
Can someone say something before my gum starts bleeding? | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
PENNY WHISTLE PLAYS SILENT NIGHT | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
Be careful, Dad. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
You be careful too, Lucy. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
BOTH SCREAM | 0:18:38 | 0:18:39 | |
What's going on? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
We are running away to join the circus, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
but we are short of a clown. Do you fancy making up the numbers? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
We heard someone playing the penny whistle | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
I can't hear anything. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Me neither. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
PENNY WHISTLE STARTS AGAIN | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
I don't know what it is exactly, but it's in the toilet. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
Sounds like you telling me off at home. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
Daisy? Daisy, is that you? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-Yes. Hello! -ALL YELP | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
So, the undead has finally awoken. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
What are you doing? | 0:19:24 | 0:19:25 | |
In films, it's always the one at the back that gets it first. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
Well, the ghost won't get you, he'll probably just ask you out. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
What is it? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
Well, there's only one way to find out. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
ALL YELP | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
PENNY WHISTLE STOPS ABRUPTLY | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
I'd give it five minutes if I were you. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
-Dad, what are you doing? -I've got a lizard that lives up me bum and it's dead thirsty. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
What do you think I'm doing? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
So, you're Frank. I'm Wendy, very nice to meet you. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
Um, I would offer to shake... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Oh, that's generous but I'll do that myself when I'm finished. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
I don't know what he's doing here, but at least that explains everything. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
Let's just brick up the doorway and forget this ever happened. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
I can hear you through this door, you know. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
So can we. Can you run a tap or something? | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
-That was quick. -Well, when Geoffrey came at me with that poker | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
it sort of speeded things up, if you know what I mean. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
No, we don't, Dad. Could you be a bit more graphic, please? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
I don't understand. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
I thought Lee invited you for Christmas but you couldn't make it. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
Invited me? Did he balls invite me. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
I had no idea anyone else was here till 30 seconds ago. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
So, what are you doing here, Frank? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
Well, this place has got some very happy memories for me. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
Remember '76, Lee? Decorating the tree, going to Carol's at midnight. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
I didn't know you were religious. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
We're not. And neither was Carol. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
That's the woman I was telling you about that Dad was seeing. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
I got here this afternoon. I've been out all day looking for provisions. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
All I could find in that drawer was a little music book and a penny whistle. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
That explains why everything was lying around. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
Well, it doesn't explain everything, though, does it? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
What about that noise in the cellar? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
I told you. Rats. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
All right but what about the boy at the gate? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
Well, Dad's quite small. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
You wouldn't mistake him for a little boy, though. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
No, but you might mistake him for a sheep. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
Especially that particular breed that's always drunk and after money. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
I'm not after anything. I just had nowhere to go this Christmas. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:52 | |
I'm sorry if I scared you and I certainly don't want to intrude | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
on your festivities, so I'll be on my way first thing in the morning. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
Don't be silly, Dad, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
it'll take you ages to get back home in this weather. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
Best you set off now and make a head start. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
Lee's joking of course. We wouldn't hear of you leaving. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
You must spend Christmas with us. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Well, erm, let's not be too hasty. Where would he sleep? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
I could share a bed with our Lee. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Actually, that's an excellent idea. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
After all, Lee, it is Christmas. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
Don't worry, Lee. You can still sneak Lucy into the bed. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
We can go top to tail and I'll keep my eyes closed. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
Please stop talking. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
Well, I don't know about everybody else, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
-but I feel a bit stupid this morning. -Don't worry. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
Things look very different in the middle of the night. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
You know, I think I'd prefer you were a ghost. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
They might carry their heads under their arms, | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
but at least they manage to tuck their balls in. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
Remind me again why I didn't invite him. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
You know, to be honest with you, Lucy, love, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
I'm quite surprised a sensible girl like you ever believed | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
the legend of the ghost in the first place. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
Except it's not a legend, is it? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
It's just a silly theory Daisy came up with. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
Yes, well, they laughed at Isaac Newton's theories. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
But if he hadn't have invented gravity, we'd all still be | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
floating around looking for heavy shoes. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
You mean you've not heard the legend of the ghost of the little boy? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
I think we've all heard enough talk about ghosts, thank you very much. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
Of course. And you're absolutely right, Geoffrey. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
My lips are sealed. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
No, come on Frank. What legend? | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
It was Christmas Eve, 1893. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
The little boy in the picture lived here then, just him and his dad. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
And every day the dad would go off to work, | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
while the little lad played. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
And every night he'd wait for his father to come home, | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
just sitting, waiting, in his rocking chair. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:10 | |
Every night, just rocking, back and forth. Back and forth. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:15 | |
All alone in this big house. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:17 | |
The lucky bastard. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
One Christmas Eve after they'd built a snowman together | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
the dad went off, promising to return with a special Christmas present. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
The little boy waited, excited. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
Rocking, back and forth, back and forth. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
But the snow came down, thick and cold. Like today. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
And, well, the dad...never came home. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
What happened to him? | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
No-one really knows. Some say he might have killed himself. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:50 | |
How could someone in such a beautiful place like this ever want to kill themselves? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
I buy it. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
All Christmas the boy waited for his father. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
Until eventually he died too, from a broken heart, they say. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
The legend is he still waits for his father to return with the presents. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
Rocking back and forth, back and forth in his rocking chair. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:15 | |
Until Lee chucked it on the fire. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
Well, like I say, it's probably a load of bollocks. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Talking of which, the Mitchell Brothers have popped out again. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
Right, I'm off to that caravan shop. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
I've got a sudden urge for a couple of King Edwards. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
Yes, well, we must make a move too before this snow gets any worse. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
-Where are you going? -Our traditional Christmas Eve family walk. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
Good idea. I like a nice long stroll. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
How does 300 miles one way grab you? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
Give us a minute, Geoffrey, we'll just get dressed. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
Well, I don't wish to be rude, but these walks are a family tradition. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
Wendy and I use them to catch up with Lucy. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
Fast walker is she? | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
MUSIC: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
You know, this reminds me of 1976. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
You, as a little boy, hanging your stocking up, | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
waiting for your presents. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Yeah. You telling me leave a glass of whisky out for Santa. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
Not forgetting Rudolph. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
One for him, too. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
And for Donner, and Dancer and Blitzen. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
And the others. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:37 | |
I never even knew there was a reindeer called Steve. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
Talking of presents, what have you done with them? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
-How do you mean? -The presents, from under the tree. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
-I haven't touched them. -Well, they were there when everyone left for that walk, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
and there's been no-one here except me and you. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
DOOR CREAKS | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
How come haunted houses never have any WD-40? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
When did you unlock that cellar door? | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
I didn't. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for all this. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
Yes, of course there is. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
Although it would fit the legend, wouldn't it? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
How do you mean? | 0:27:30 | 0:27:31 | |
That Christmas when the dad didn't come home, | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
the little boy didn't get his presents. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
Maybe he's making up for it now. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Well, he's going to be disappointed when he opens a fondue set and a biography of Tom Hanks. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:43 | |
BANG | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
We'd better check down there. So, off you go. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
HE CLICKS LIGHT | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
The bulb's gone. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
Don't worry, your Auntie Maureen always kept a box of spares. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
Good. Where are they? | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
Right down there at the back of the cellar. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
Hello? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
Is there anyone in here? | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
Hello? | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
By the way, can I just say I felt the film The Exorcist | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
painted you lot in a very bad light. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
BANGING | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
WARDROBE DOOR RATTLES | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
Well, it's either a lion or a witch, | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
but either way, it's not looking good. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
RATTLING CONTINUES | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
HISSING | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
LEE SCREAMS | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
What are you doing down here, you mangy little git? | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
HE YELPS | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
What are you doing down here, you mangy little git? | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
-I heard you scream. -It's just the cat from the caravan. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
There must be an open window and he's got trapped down here or something. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
Well, at least that explains the noises from down here. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:21 | |
But it doesn't explain the cellar door being open, does it? Or the missing presents. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:25 | |
No. But maybe that does. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
Maybe it doesn't mean us. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
Well, that's all right, | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
cos we are leaving. In a day or two. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
Oh, yeah? Or else what? | 0:29:46 | 0:29:48 | |
None of this makes sense. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:57 | |
If there is a ghost in this house, which there isn't, | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
how come I didn't see it when I was down here with Ralph? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
Who? | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
Ralph. That kid I used to play with. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
What kid? | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
The son of Carol, the woman you were knocking off. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
Ralph. Sort of miserable, pale-looking. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
What? | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
Lee, she didn't have a son. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
You used to play down here on your own. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
Well, who was that boy? | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
Oh, the little bastard! He could have told me he was a ghost! | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
No wonder he never agreed to an arm wrestle. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
You're telling me you've seen this ghost before? | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
Seen it? I used to throw coal at his face. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
No wonder he doesn't like you. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
And now you've burnt his rocking chair. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
Ralph, Ralph, whatever Lee did to you, it was nothing to do with me. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:44 | |
So if you're looking for revenge, please remember that! | 0:30:44 | 0:30:48 | |
I'm getting out of here. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:49 | |
Oh, God, he's locked us in! | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
He's going to throw coal in my face then kill me! HELP! | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
Try pushing. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
You shouldn't have burnt his chair. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
It's not my fault the kid's got an unhealthy interest in antique pine. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
When I was his age I used to be into normal childhood things like KerPlunk and shoplifting. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:15 | |
Look, try not to be too scared. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
Scared? I'm not scared. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
There's nothing a ghost can do to hurt me. I'm not afraid. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
HE YELPS | 0:31:22 | 0:31:23 | |
I wish people would stop doing that. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Hail, fellows, well met! | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
The weary travellers are returned to the warm hearth! | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
Oh, God, Geoffrey's been possessed. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
Festive spirit, Lee, that's the only thing that's possessing me. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
Once Geoffrey has had his Christmas Eve walk, he's a new man. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
What would you say to a spirit, Lee? | 0:31:40 | 0:31:43 | |
"Please don't kill me." | 0:31:43 | 0:31:44 | |
I wouldn't bother taking your coats off. We are not staying. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Why? What's happened? | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 | |
I saw the ghost of the child. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
-Oh, my God! -Oh, for pity's sake. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
-It was in the '70s. -I thought you said it was a child. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
The 1970s. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
-It was my old mate Ralph. -What are you talking about? | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
-Well, you know friends aren't supposed to keep secrets? -Yeah. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
Yes, well, he'd inadvertently forgot to tell me something quite important. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
Like he'd been dead for the last seven decades. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
Well, it's an easy mistake to make. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
I once forgot to tell my best friend I'd snogged her brother. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
Anyway, he's back. And he's taken the presents. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:22 | |
And what's worse is he's written a note on the wall threatening to kill me. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:26 | |
Oh, my God! That's what my friend did, too! | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
Well, on a park bench. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
Did the ghost call you a slag as well? | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
Right! That's it, we're leaving right now! | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
For God's sake, Lee! | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life? Show some bloody backbone, man! | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
You're right. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
Up yours, Geoffrey, we're bloody leaving! | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
Well, I don't think we should leave either. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:52 | |
A sensible voice at last. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
If there's one thing life has taught me, | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
it's to always try and communicate with the dead. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
Well, that didn't last long. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:02 | |
That way Lee can apologise for all the things that he's done. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
Well, how do we talk to a ghost? | 0:33:08 | 0:33:09 | |
Three words - Ouija board. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:12 | |
First we must all place our fingers on the glass. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
Which finger? | 0:33:28 | 0:33:29 | |
Oh, I don't know. Er, middle finger? | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
You can't give the middle finger to a ghost. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:34 | |
He's already annoyed at us. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
Use your index finger. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
Next we must empty our minds of all thoughts. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
How come you always get a head start? | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
Is anybody there? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
Is anybody there? | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
-BRUSQUE: -Is anybody there?! | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
This is a complete waste of time. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
Geoffrey's right. Maybe we should stop. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
-What happened? -Lee pushed it. -I did not, I swear. -Frank? | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
He's never pushed a whisky glass away in his life. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
Ralph? Is that you, or someone else? | 0:34:17 | 0:34:22 | |
Sorry, was that yes, it is you, or yes, it's someone else? | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
No, it is someone else, or no, it isn't? | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
Can someone else be Michael Parkinson, please? | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
Lucy, you do it. Ask him what he wants. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
What do you want, Ralph? | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
You want to know what happened to your dad? | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
You already know what happened to your dad? | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
Was it an accident? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:17 | |
Was he killed? | 0:35:22 | 0:35:23 | |
Who by? | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
So now we know. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:39 | |
His father died of ME. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
Ralph, do you mean to cause us harm? | 0:35:54 | 0:35:59 | |
All of us? | 0:36:05 | 0:36:06 | |
Then who? | 0:36:10 | 0:36:11 | |
L. Not looking good for you, Lucy. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:22 | |
Ask him if he's got a problem with the golfer Lee Trevino. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:35 | |
C-U. What does that mean? | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
C-U. Don't you get it? He's a kid. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
That's how they talk. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:50 | |
SEE YOU. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
Oh, right. So now you're telling us the ghost of a Victorian orphan... | 0:36:53 | 0:36:58 | |
..is texting us? | 0:37:00 | 0:37:01 | |
-Oh, my God! -SHE SCREAMS | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
What the hell's going on? Who are you? | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
Don't you come any closer, young man. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
You don't frighten me. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
I was in the Third Battalion, the Welsh Guards. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:25 | |
Oh, yeah, not so brave now, are we?! | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
Go on, Dad, show him how it's done. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |

Where's Frank? | 0:38:04 | 0:38:05 | |
How do you know Frank? | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
He invited us to spend Christmas with him. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
Us? Me and my nana. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
He said he'd ring when it was safe to come round, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:15 | |
but it's getting late. We haven't heard from him yet. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:18 | |

Just playing my favourite tune. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
-What's going on? -Hiya, Frank. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:41 | |
Hiya, love. Everybody, this is Molly. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:45 | |
She lives with her grandma, down at that place you bought those spuds. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:49 | |
What? You mean the old biddy in the caravan? | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
-You've met her before actually, Lee. She's called Carol. -Carol? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
You mean that bit of strumpet you were knocking off in the '70s? | 0:38:54 | 0:38:58 | |
-Oi, that's my nan! -Sorry. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
Nana Strumpet. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:01 | |
We've kept in touch over the years. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
I was hoping to rekindle a bit of the old romance. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
I mean, her exterior's a bit rusty | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
but I bet her goods are as ripe as ever. | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
I feel sick. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:14 | |
You feel sick? | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
It wasn't just carnal desire. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
I mean, I felt sorry for them stuck in that old caravan at Christmas, | 0:39:20 | 0:39:24 | |
so I invited the two of them to stay here. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
And then you lot turned up, and I had to go for Plan B | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
Oh, is he coming, as well? | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
And when I heard you were all scared of ghosts, | 0:39:34 | 0:39:37 | |
I sort of played up to it a bit, hoping it would make you leave. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:41 | |
So that story that you told at breakfast was all a lie? | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
Well, no, there was some truth to it. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:46 | |
There was a boy, who lived here many, many years ago. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:51 | |
Yeah? | 0:39:54 | 0:39:55 | |
That's about it. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:56 | |
What about the glass moving, the cellar door opening, | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
the writing on the wall? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
That were all me. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:05 | |
-I wish this was the end bit of Scooby Doo. -Why? | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
Cos then I'd get to rip your face off. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
So, that kid Ralph in the '70s wasn't a ghost? | 0:40:14 | 0:40:19 | |
Carol really did have a son? | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
Yeah. He grew up to be the father of Molly. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
But he soon buggered off. Apparently he had psychological issues. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:29 | |
When he were a kid someone locked him in a cellar | 0:40:29 | 0:40:32 | |
and threw coal in his face. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:33 | |
-Can I go and get Nana now? -I'm afraid not, Molly. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
We're going to have to spend Christmas in that cold caravan. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:42 | |
I'll tell you what, because it's Christmas tomorrow, | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
as a special treat for our dinner we'll have some beans with our potatoes. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:50 | |
Hot beans? | 0:40:50 | 0:40:51 | |
Don't be ridiculous. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:53 | |

Lovely spread, ladies. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:03 | |
Wendy and Carol have certainly made that turkey go a long way. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
On the other hand, no-one's seen that cat since yesterday. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:09 | |
Molly's having fun. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:11 | |
That was very nice of you to give her your present. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
It was very nice of you to give her yours. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Who's the extra chair for, Lee? | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
Well, I know we've finally proved there's no ghost, | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
but I still felt bad about burning that boy's rocking chair. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
So I made a new one. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
Oh, that's sweet. Where did you get the wood? | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
I chopped up an old crucifix I found hanging upside down in the attic. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:36 | |
What? | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
Do you know what? | 0:41:50 | 0:41:51 | |
This hasn't been such a bad Christmas after all. Well done! | 0:41:51 | 0:41:55 | |
Perhaps I deserve another Christmas present. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
-Like what? -Where's the mistletoe? | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
I'll see you at the car. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
Well, it looks like this old place will be sold off very soon. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
Probably the last chance we'll get to see it. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
Bit of me will always be here. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
That chain still not flushing, then? | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
One thing I don't get, Dad. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:25 | |
I know all these ghostly goings on were you, | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
but we were together almost all Christmas Eve. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
When did you get chance to build that snowman? | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
I didn't, you daft bugger. It was Molly that built that. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
-Isn't that right Molly, love? -What? | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
You built that scary snowman with the creepy face. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
I didn't build any snowman. | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
Well then, who did? | 0:42:46 | 0:42:47 | |
