0:00:09 > 0:00:14# This old town don't smell too pretty and

0:00:14 > 0:00:22# I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

0:00:23 > 0:00:25# So what do you say?

0:00:25 > 0:00:30# You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway

0:00:30 > 0:00:34# Half the world away

0:00:39 > 0:00:42# Half the world away

0:00:42 > 0:00:46# I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down... #

0:00:50 > 0:00:52This bauble won't stay on.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Oh, bauble, my arse!

0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I'm not sure this tree's right for this room.- Of course it is!

0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Twiggy got it especially for us! - Yeah.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Ah...

0:01:12 > 0:01:15When are you going to kiss my baubles, Barb?

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Oh, Jim! And these lights aren't working again.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Are you sure you've got them plugged in right?

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Stick your tongue in the socket and find out.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Every year we have the same palaver with these lights.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28It's time we got some new ones.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33What? New ones? With this coa-bloody-lition going on? You want to have a word with yourself, Barb.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37They've cocked the country up and now they expect us to pay for it.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42- Jim!- I mean, people have started looking down on you if you claim benefit now.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46There's no pride in signing on any more.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49The way they're going on, they'll be no bugger signing on.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50DOORBELL RINGS

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Get that will you, Barbara? That'll be Cameron and Clegg now.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56HE MUMBLES ANGRILY

0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Hiya, Denise.- Hiya, Mam.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00HE MUMBLES ANGRILY

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Hiya, Barbara.- Hiya, Dave.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Ooh! I like that tree.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Is that off Twiggy?- Yeah.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Hiya, Dad.- Hiya, Jim.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- SARCASTICALLY: - "Hiya, Dave. Hiya, Denise. Sit down.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18"Have you had your tea?" "Yeah." "What did you have?"

0:02:18 > 0:02:23Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak, yak.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Is Jim annoyed, Barbara? - Yeah, Jim is annoyed.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Congratulations, Sherlock.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Have you done something to your toe, Dad?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36No, I haven't. Your mother has.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41She dropped a frozen turkey on it, didn't she? In the supermarket.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- I told you we should have double-bagged it.- Are you joking?

0:02:44 > 0:02:47At 5p a carrier bag! I'm not Lord Sugar, you know!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Anyway, it's not that.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- What's wrong with him, Mam? - You can ask me, I am in the room.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56You haven't got to talk to me through your mother.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Well, what's wrong, Dad? - Don't tell them, Barbara.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Oh!

0:03:01 > 0:03:05The "sold" sign went up this morning, next door.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Aw, it's not, has it?- Mmm.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10That means it's sold.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Oh, you are right on the ball, aren't you, today, Dave?

0:03:13 > 0:03:15I never thought they'd actually go through with it.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18This is going to hit me really hard.

0:03:18 > 0:03:24- Yeah.- He's going to want his lawn mower back, his drill back, his electric screwdriver back.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27How's Barbara going to mow the lawn or put any shelves up?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- I'm really upset.- So am I.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- So am I.- So am I.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I hope they don't move too far away.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Ooh, so do I.- So do I.- So do I.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45Who's going to look after the kids at weekends when Cheryl goes?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47I don't want to leave them with strangers.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49No.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Where are the kids, Denise?

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Erm...

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Where are they, Dave?

0:03:55 > 0:04:01Oh, they're with that old woman four doors down.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Oh, yeah.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05What is her name?

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Don't know. She's nice, though, once you get over the smell.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Oh, it's really funny, Mam.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16The kids put tissues up their nose before they go in.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's dead sweet, in't it, Dave?

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Yeah.- Well, what does she smell of?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Well, you know when you've just opened a tin of salmon?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Yeah.- Well, that.- Ooh.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30I think it's a bit more cheesy than fishy.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Will you two shut up?!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35You're making me feel hungry.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41I make them put their pyjamas on in Dave's van before they come home.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- You don't want them bringing the smell into your house.- No.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Kids don't like her, do they, Dave?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50No.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53I think it's lovely for them to go at Christmas

0:04:53 > 0:04:55because she's got like a little beard.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56A white one, Barbara.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Oh, how Christmassy!

0:05:01 > 0:05:04What's happening to the kids tomorrow, Denise?

0:05:04 > 0:05:09Well, I can't send them to her at Christmas. They need to be with family.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11So they're going to Dave's mum and dad's.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Oh.- They don't like it there either, Barbara.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16No.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20CRACKLING AND BUZZING

0:05:20 > 0:05:22ALL: Oh! Oh!

0:05:22 > 0:05:24CRACKLING Oh! Oh!

0:05:24 > 0:05:26CRACKLING

0:05:26 > 0:05:29THEY GROAN

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Have you had your teas? - BOTH: Yeah.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Ah, what did you have?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Toad-in-the-hole. - Ooh, toad-in-the-hole!

0:05:39 > 0:05:42But we didn't have any sausages left so we just had the hole.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Hmm, a hole.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I didn't like it really. - Didn't you, Dave?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51No. It didn't taste of anything.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Well, it was a hole, Dave.- Mmm.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- Where's Anthony and Saskia tonight? - Oh, they're dropping presents off.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I think they just needed a bit of time away from things.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- When's their new house going to be ready?- Middle of January.

0:06:12 > 0:06:17Oh, it's been lovely having my little boy at home again.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22Your little boy? He's six foot two and 30 years of age, you daft old bat!

0:06:22 > 0:06:26- And a merry Christmas to you and all, Jim(!) - HE MUMBLES GRUMPILY

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Hey, Mam.- Hmm?

0:06:28 > 0:06:33While they're out, why don't me and you go upstairs

0:06:33 > 0:06:36and have a little look at what Saskia's got hung up in her wardrobe?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- Oh, what a good idea. She won't mind.- No.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Well, it's quite flattering really, in't it?- Yeah.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50BARBARA GIGGLES

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Hey, Dave, it's doing my head in, having them two staying here.- Who?

0:06:57 > 0:07:02Saskia and Anthony, you bloody rattlehead! Barbara's on at me every five minutes.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I can't fart in front of Saskia,

0:07:04 > 0:07:07I can't scratch me nuts in front of Saskia,

0:07:07 > 0:07:10I can't lounge around in me Y-fronts in front of Saskia.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12All the joys in life have gone, Dave.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14You don't want that, do you, James?

0:07:14 > 0:07:20No. And when I go for my morning dump, I've got to hang around for ages to see if there's any floaters.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22I had a 20-minute battle with one this morning.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25It was like trying to sink the Ark Royal.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh, aye, yeah, and if I go for a wee and I miss,

0:07:27 > 0:07:31I've got to clean it up myself, in case Saskia comes in after me.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I can't just leave it for Barbara any more.

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Hey, and when she goes for a bath, there's candles and jock sticks.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's like bloody Glastonbury up there.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45And our Anthony's blocked the keyhole up with toilet roll.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48What sort of a man does he think I am, eh?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Took me nearly 20 minutes to unpick it.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55By the time I'd finished, she'd had her shower and she'd gone.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Oh, hey, Dave, if I do a fart tomorrow, will you own up to it for me?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Well, what if you don't do one?

0:08:06 > 0:08:10With a bellyful of Barbara's sprouts? It's an accident waiting to happen.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14- How will I know, though, when you've done one?- I'll give you a sign.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17If I clean me glasses, you know that I've set one free.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Is that all right with you, Dave?

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Check.- Thank you, David.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

0:08:25 > 0:08:27BARBARA GIGGLES

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Ooh, she's got lovely things.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Dave, smell that. Isn't it gorgeous?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Mmm, lovely.- Saskia's perfume.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47- Ooh, that's lovely!- I'm going to try and sneak up tomorrow and put some on for Christmas Day.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49What a good idea. I'll do that as well.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51BARBARA CHUCKLES

0:08:51 > 0:08:56- It's funny someone of her age keeping a diary, in't it, Mam?- Yeah.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59She doesn't think much of you, Dad.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Oh, I know, I've read it. Slovenly, my arse.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Why didn't she tell me to me face? Because she's sneaky, she is.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Did you put the little padlock back on?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Yeah.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Why she keeps that key in a separate drawer, I'll never know.

0:09:14 > 0:09:15No.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17CRACKLING

0:09:17 > 0:09:18ALL: Ooh.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22ALL: Oh! Ooh!

0:09:22 > 0:09:24THEY GROAN

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Do you want me to have a look at the tree lights for you, Barbara?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Oh, would you, Dave?- Yeah.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Dave is absolutely brilliant with electricity.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42It's usually the fuse bulb, the white one.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Here you are.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45CRACKLING ALL: Yay!

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Ah, well done, David! Well done!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Oh, thanks, Dave. Ooh...

0:09:49 > 0:09:50BANG!

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Dave, you gormless sod!- Dave! CLATTERING

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Argh! Me toe!

0:09:55 > 0:09:59# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

0:09:59 > 0:10:00# Everywhere you go... #

0:10:01 > 0:10:04BARBARA GASPS

0:10:04 > 0:10:06It's a Dyson!

0:10:06 > 0:10:10It's what I've always wanted!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Oh, I'm glad you like it, Mam. - Aw, Anthony!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Merry Christmas!- Oh, thank you. Oh!

0:10:16 > 0:10:21- Aw!- Thank you!- It's all right!

0:10:21 > 0:10:24I wish we'd got you a Dyson now, instead of that fridge magnet.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Oh, I like that just as much.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31I think it looks better on our fridge door than it did on yours, love.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32And, er,

0:10:32 > 0:10:34- this one's for you, Jim.- Ooh!

0:10:34 > 0:10:38- For me? - HE LAUGHS

0:10:40 > 0:10:43What can it be? Let's have a look. Lucky old me...

0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Sky HD! - HE LAUGHS

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Nice one, Lurcio! That's bloody great!

0:10:50 > 0:10:55Come here you. Give old Jim a little kiss, come on, come on.

0:10:55 > 0:10:56Do you know what, queen?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58You're a bloody diamond. Go on.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02Go on and sit down. Do you know where I'm going to put this?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I'm going to put this next to that fun-size bar of Toblerone

0:11:05 > 0:11:09that Dave, Denise and the two kids bought me for Christmas.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- MUTTERS:- You tight-arse... - Are you ready?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15He'll be in my way when I bring the stuff out.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Don't put him there! I don't want him next to me.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Well, why don't you put me in the bloody garden and be done with it!

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Merry Christmas, everybody. - Merry Christmas, Joe.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09I brought Mary with me cos I didn't like to leave her on her own.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13- No, nobody should be on their own at Christmas.- Here you are, Joe.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- You're sitting here next to me. - Well, what should I do with Mary?

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Oh, give her to me. I'll put her on the telly with Nana.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23They always got on well together.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26It's a pity we've scattered me mam's ashes, Barb.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- We could have set a table for all of them in there!- Jim!

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Hey, Merry Christmas, Joe. Have you met Saskia?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Oh, you're Shaskia?- Hiya.- I'm Joe.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Lovely to meet you.- You too.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41I wish you could've met my wife Mary but she's dead at the moment.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43That's her on top of the telly, there.

0:13:44 > 0:13:49My grandma died recently. She's still in the urn. We haven't got round to scattering her yet.

0:13:49 > 0:13:54You should have brought her up with you, Saskia. We could have put her up there in the line-up

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- of the living dead on the television.- Jim!

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Well, bloody hell, Barbara, what time's Vincent Price going to show up?

0:14:00 > 0:14:01LAUGHTER

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Would you like any help in the kitchen, Barbara?

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Oh, no, you're all right, love. You stay there.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12Dave, come on! You know I'm bloody helpless with the toes. That's it.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Come on, son.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16No, thanks, not for me.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- When's the baby due, Saskia? - The middle of January.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24- Have you had any cravings? - I've been having really strong cravings for Maltesers.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Oh, Maltesers?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29I had cravings with my two, didn't I, Dave?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Yeah.- What were they again?

0:14:31 > 0:14:32Vodka and Red Bull.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, yeah! Yeah.

0:14:35 > 0:14:41- Saskia, if you ever need a baby-sitter, just ask us. - Oh, thanks, Denise.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45There's this old woman four doors down from us and she has ours any time.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Erm, excuse me, everybody.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52I'm going on the toilet.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Thanks, Dave.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59CHERYL SIGHS

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Wasn't it awful?

0:15:01 > 0:15:07Did you see in the Metro? Somebody stole the Christmas tree from the front of the old people's home.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Never mind that about that,

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Cheryl, love, you're bringing the atmosphere down.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Oh, here's the turkey! Let's have three cheers for the turkey!

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- The old turkey. Here we go. - Pigs in blankets.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- You what, Joe?- Them! Pigs in blankets. Mary loved 'em.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31- Oh, she did, didn't she, Joe?- Yeah.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah, I'm sorry, Joe. How have you been coping?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Well, I can't say I haven't missed her.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40Oh, we all do, Joe. Help yourself to the margarine, love.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45Do you know, she had all her own teeth until the day she died, Shaski.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Oh, did she?- Except for the top set.

0:15:49 > 0:15:55- And another six at the bottom.- Ah. - I keep her dentures on the bedside table.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00And do you know, every morning I get up, there she is, smiling at me.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Ah, that's lovely, Joe.

0:16:02 > 0:16:07And when I'm really missing her, I pop her glasses on the top.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12Well, why don't you get an old mop head, Joe, and complete the bloody picture?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Oh, isn't this lovely?- Yeah.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Tell me, who wouldn't look forward to Christmas Day?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Well, the turkey for one!

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Mary would've laughed at that if she wasn't dead, Anthony.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31I tell you what, Barb, this lot looks bloody lovely, kid.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Oh, Jim.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35GLASS TINKLES

0:16:38 > 0:16:39I hope you don't mind,

0:16:39 > 0:16:45but as a mark of respect, I think we ought to have a minute's silence for Mary before we eat.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Oh, there's no need for that, Joe. You're all right.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49ANTHONY: A minute's silence?!

0:16:49 > 0:16:52A minute from... Look, Cheryl, will you time it for me?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- A minute?!- Mmm.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Right, well, from now.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59JIM MUTTERS ANGRILY

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Come on!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09HE MOUTHS

0:17:27 > 0:17:30DAVE: Have you got any air freshener, Barbara?

0:17:30 > 0:17:33DENISE: Shh! Dave! Shut up!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35What's up? What's happening?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38(We're having a minute's silence. For Mary.)

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- When's it happening?- It's now, Dave.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Now I've had to speak, we have do it all over again.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Oh, there's no need for that, Joe.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49A minute from...now.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57HE COUGHS

0:18:06 > 0:18:07THEY MOUTH

0:18:17 > 0:18:18Excuse me, everyone.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Sorry to interrupt the minute's silence,

0:18:23 > 0:18:26but I've just done a trump. Not Jim.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Dave!

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Show a bit of bloody respect!

0:18:31 > 0:18:33- We'll have to do it again. - GROANING

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Actually, Dad, we did 40 seconds then and 30 seconds the first time,

0:18:37 > 0:18:39so we're ten seconds over.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41THEY CHEER

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Aw, this is lovely, Barbara. - Thanks, love.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49Would you like some gravy?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Mmm.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55What did you get Anthony for Christmas, Saskia?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59- 3D TV.- 3D TV?- 3D TV?!

0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'd love 3D TV.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03I'd love 3D TV.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Fancy watching This Morning in 3D TV!

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Holly Willoughby's wallabies coming towards you in 3D. Ho ho ho!

0:19:09 > 0:19:11That's the future!

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Willoughby's wallabies in 3D.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Two double Ds in 3D, hey, Dave?

0:19:17 > 0:19:22- One D would do me! - # One D at a time, sweet Jesus... #

0:19:22 > 0:19:25THEY LAUGH

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Wasn't Mary's funeral a good send-off?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29THEY GROAN

0:19:29 > 0:19:33- It was a glorious day. - It was a lovely service, Joe.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Just a shame about the ice-cream van during the eulogy.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39The vicar said it was the smallest gathering he'd ever seen.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Did you see Mary's sister?

0:19:43 > 0:19:45She's Irish, the same as Mary.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50You know, she was the one with the one black tooth, off-centre, hanging loose.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Was she the one who tried to start the Mexican wave in the church?

0:19:53 > 0:19:57- Ah-ha, that's the one.- She was a bit of fun, her, wasn't she?

0:19:57 > 0:20:00She was giggling all the way through the service.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- She's certified insane. - JIM SNIGGERS

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Oh. Come to think of it, I thought she was a bit odd,

0:20:05 > 0:20:08trying to get us all to do the conga filing out the church.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12We put everything that was dear to Mary in her coffin, Shaskia.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Oh, did you, Joe? What a lovely idea. - It was, wasn't it?

0:20:17 > 0:20:21- What did you put in it? - Well, we put her wedding dress... - ALL: Aw.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26..and her Beverley Callard keep-fit videos, George Foreman grill

0:20:26 > 0:20:29and a photo of Cheryl.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32- Aw, that's nice, Joe. - That's lovely.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Oh, yeah, no, not me, Cheryl Cole.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39I tell you what, though, it's a wonder there was any room in it for Mary, wasn't there, lad?

0:20:39 > 0:20:40Who packed the coffin?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Was it the funeral director or was it, er, Pickfords?

0:20:43 > 0:20:45LAUGHTER

0:20:47 > 0:20:52- I have brought the poem with me if you'd like to hear it again. - ALL: No, no.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's still fresh in our minds, Joe.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58No, no. If Joe wants to read it, let him read it.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Anyway, Saskia hasn't heard it.

0:21:00 > 0:21:05- You'd like to hear it, wouldn't you, Saskia, love?- Yeah, yeah. - Go on, Joe.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary...

0:21:14 > 0:21:17- JIM MOUTHS - ..Mary, Mary, Mary...

0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Who's it about, Joe?- Mary!

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Jim!

0:21:22 > 0:21:24You are my wife

0:21:24 > 0:21:26My friend and my lover

0:21:26 > 0:21:28A part-time dinner lady

0:21:28 > 0:21:29And also a mother...

0:21:29 > 0:21:31Aw.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Chips, peas and gravy

0:21:33 > 0:21:34That's what you had

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Chips, pie and gravy

0:21:36 > 0:21:37That's what I had...

0:21:37 > 0:21:39Is this a poem, Joe, or a bloody menu?

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Jim! - LAUGHTER

0:21:45 > 0:21:46I'll meet you in heaven

0:21:46 > 0:21:48It's peaceful up there

0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'll spot you immediately

0:21:50 > 0:21:51With your ginger hair...

0:21:51 > 0:21:53SHE SNORTS

0:21:53 > 0:21:54So, bye-bye, Mary

0:21:54 > 0:21:55Now up in the sky

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Farewell, my Mary

0:21:57 > 0:22:00You're dead now, bye-bye.

0:22:02 > 0:22:07Oh, so lovely, Joe. It gets better every time you read it.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Saskia, don't get upset, love.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Oh, I forgot it's the first time you've heard it, isn't it?

0:22:14 > 0:22:18Joe, do you mind not reading it again? It's too upsetting.

0:22:20 > 0:22:26And do you know, when the curtains closed and they played her song,

0:22:26 > 0:22:28there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30What was it, Joe?

0:22:30 > 0:22:31# Like a bat out of hell

0:22:31 > 0:22:34# I'll be gone when the morning comes

0:22:34 > 0:22:36# When the night is over

0:22:36 > 0:22:38# Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone... #

0:22:38 > 0:22:40OK, Joe! That's... All right, Joe!

0:22:40 > 0:22:41ALL RIGHT, JOE!

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Bloody hell, Joe!

0:22:44 > 0:22:46DENISE: I love that song.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50- What song would you have played, Mam, for your funeral?- I know!

0:22:50 > 0:22:53# Ding dong, the witch is dead! Which old witch?

0:22:53 > 0:22:54# The wicked old witch. #

0:22:54 > 0:22:55JIM LAUGHS

0:22:57 > 0:22:59- I know what song I'd have at your funeral.- What?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01# Does he wash up?

0:23:01 > 0:23:03# No, he never washes up

0:23:03 > 0:23:06# Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up

0:23:06 > 0:23:08# Does he brush up?

0:23:08 > 0:23:09# No, he never brushes up

0:23:09 > 0:23:14# He does nothing The boy does nothing. #

0:23:14 > 0:23:15THEY CHEER

0:23:15 > 0:23:16# Does he wash up?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18# Never wash up

0:23:18 > 0:23:21# Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up... #

0:23:21 > 0:23:23JIM GROANS

0:23:41 > 0:23:43HE GROANS

0:23:46 > 0:23:48That's it.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54Argh! The toe! The toe!

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- ANTHONY: To Mary! - ALL: To Mary!

0:24:36 > 0:24:41And to the end of 2010, cos the country's going to the bloody dogs, isn't it?

0:24:41 > 0:24:42To the dogs!

0:24:42 > 0:24:43- JOE:- Hear, hear!

0:24:43 > 0:24:46All we've had is cuts, cuts and more cuts.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50- DAVE: Oh, yeah. - They've cut Heartbeat, The Bill, Last Of The Summer Wine.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52DAVE: Aye.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Do you like being a nurse, Saskia?

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I love it. It's really rewarding.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- I wanted to be a nurse. - Oh, did you, Cheryl?

0:24:59 > 0:25:03- I think you'd have made a lovely nurse, Cheryl. - DENISE: Yeah.

0:25:03 > 0:25:08The only thing is, I can't stand the sight of blood and I don't like looking after people.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Well, why did you want to be a nurse, Cheryl?

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- I like the upside-down watches. - Bloody hell, Cheryl.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17What department do you work in, Saskia?

0:25:17 > 0:25:18A & E.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Oh, tell them about that bloke that came in last week.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25- No.- No, go on. Go on! Tell 'em.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27ALL: Go on!

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Right, right. Well, we had this middle-aged man, bank manager he was.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35He had a light bulb lodged up his bottom.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36LAUGHTER

0:25:39 > 0:25:43- What wattage was it?- Well, what does it matter, Joe, what wattage it was?

0:25:43 > 0:25:46It had been up there a while before he came in.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Bloody hell, I hope it was an energy-saving bulb.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Are you having that, David? - Good one, James!

0:25:53 > 0:25:59- How did he explain that?- He said he'd just got out of the shower and accidentally sat on a lamp.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Oh, as if!- Tell me, this bulb, was it a screw-fit or was it a bayonet?

0:26:03 > 0:26:08What does it matter, Joe, if it's a screw-fit, a bayonet or what bloody wattage it was?

0:26:08 > 0:26:14- There's a fella out there with a bulb stuck up his arse in A & E, not in B&Q.- Well, why did he do it?

0:26:14 > 0:26:19- I don't know. He might have been frightened of a power cut and he wanted to go for a crap.- Jim!

0:26:19 > 0:26:23You're spoiling Saskia's lovely story here.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Did you keep the bulb, Saskia? We could have used it on our Christmas tree.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Oh, don't be ridiculous, Jim.

0:26:29 > 0:26:34You can't put a bulb that's been up somebody's bottom on your tree at Christmas.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Do you do any private work, Shizka?

0:26:41 > 0:26:46You see I have this boil that needs looking at and I'd like a professional opinion.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Whereabouts is it, Joe?

0:26:48 > 0:26:53- Well, it's about two inches to the left of where that bloke had his bulb lodged.- Oh, right.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55I thought it looked bigger than it was

0:26:55 > 0:27:00when I saw it, but it seems that Cheryl was holding the mirror the wrong way round.

0:27:00 > 0:27:01Oh, Cheryl.

0:27:02 > 0:27:07The main reason I wanted to be a nurse was so I could have married a doctor.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10- ALL: Ah. - Are you seeing anyone at the moment, Cheryl?

0:27:10 > 0:27:14- I was seeing this lad up until recently, but we split up. - I'm sorry to hear that.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Oh, it's fine. I'm over it now. - How long ago was it?

0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Five months, three weeks, two days. - ALL: Ah.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22ANTHONY: Where did you meet him, Cheryl?

0:27:22 > 0:27:26Well, I was sitting on a bench in the precinct having me morning pasties,

0:27:26 > 0:27:29when this cute little dog came up and starting jumping up at me.

0:27:29 > 0:27:32So I gave him a bit of one and I heard this voice say,

0:27:32 > 0:27:35"If you give him any more, he'll follow you home."

0:27:35 > 0:27:38I looked up and there he was. I fancied him straightaway.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- ALL: Aw. - How romantic!

0:27:40 > 0:27:45- I said, "Hello, my name's Cheryl." - And what did he say?

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- "Have you got a pound for a cup of tea?"- Oh, right.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Then he shook his paper cup at me, dead flirty, like.

0:27:51 > 0:27:52What was his name, Cheryl?

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Spamhead.- Ah.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58He had lovely handwriting as well,

0:27:58 > 0:28:02except he put two M's and one S in "homeless".

0:28:02 > 0:28:04- SASKIA: Oh, right. - And an I in "hungry".

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Well, he was only a few letters out.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- Yeah.- Do you know what, love? That's just like a Mills & Boon story. Lovely.- Yeah.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14Hey, did you meet him, Joe?

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Yes. Only once.

0:28:16 > 0:28:19Yeah, I took him home to meet me dad but then after we'd left,

0:28:19 > 0:28:22my dad couldn't find his Post Office savings book.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26When we asked Spamhead, he said his dog had probably eaten it.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29His dog must have been able to talk as well

0:28:29 > 0:28:32because it went in the Post Office and took all my savings out.

0:28:32 > 0:28:36You know, I never liked Spamhead. He never took you anywhere, did he?

0:28:36 > 0:28:40- No.- I think next time you should go for someone who isn't tagged.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43I thought Spamhead was a nice lad.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46- What was he tagged for?- Dogging.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48STIFLED LAUGHTER

0:28:58 > 0:29:03I can't stop looking at them two over there, two old friends together again.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05Oh, in't it lovely?

0:29:05 > 0:29:09- Yeah.- Yeah, you're right, Barbara. They do look lovely.- Yeah.

0:29:09 > 0:29:10JOE: It'd make a nice photo, that.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Ooh, yeah, it would. Where's me camera?

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Barbara, it's Christmas Day, love. Not Halloween.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Can I be in this photo, Barbara?

0:29:18 > 0:29:19Yes, come on, Joe.

0:29:23 > 0:29:27I don't know about losing his wife, he's lost the plot.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Get in there.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Smile!

0:29:31 > 0:29:35Ah, yeah, that's lovely.

0:29:35 > 0:29:37Don't take offence, will you, Barbara,

0:29:37 > 0:29:40but can I have one without your mum?

0:29:40 > 0:29:45- I'd like just a family one with me, Mary and Cheryl.- All right.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Come on, Cheryl.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52We've had more fun with them now than when they were alive.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55LAUGHTER

0:29:57 > 0:29:58Smile!

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Oh, we've had a lovely day, Mam. Thanks.- Ah!

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Is Saskia enjoying herself?

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yeah!

0:30:54 > 0:30:57I do worry what people think about your dad.

0:30:57 > 0:31:02He can be a bit off-putting, you know, with his dirty habits,

0:31:02 > 0:31:06his personality, and his body odour.

0:31:06 > 0:31:10- Well, we've never known any different, have we?- No.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14He dropped a silent one the other night in the middle of Come Dine With Me.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17She must've smelt it, you couldn't not.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19It was one of his Sunday ones.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21But she didn't say anything.

0:31:21 > 0:31:26She just politely put a tissue to her nose, kept it there for ten minutes until it had evaporated.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29You know, she's really classy.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Well, I warned her about me dad.

0:31:32 > 0:31:37Do you know, I've really enjoyed having you here for the last couple of weeks.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Oh!- Ah, I wish you weren't going to your house after Christmas.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42You can't let me come with you, can you?

0:31:42 > 0:31:45Well, Saskia'd let you, Mam. She thinks the world of you.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Does she?- Yeah.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Course she does!

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Ah, she is really lovely, Anthony.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Mmm, I know. I think she might be the one for me, you know.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Don't say anything,

0:32:00 > 0:32:03but I'm thinking of asking her to marry me on New Year's Eve.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Are you?- Yeah!

0:32:06 > 0:32:08Oh, Anthony!

0:32:08 > 0:32:10Oh!

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Are you going to propose here?

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Well, no, I want her to say yes.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Oh.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Two Royle weddings in one year!

0:32:31 > 0:32:33Yeah.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36I hope the Queen doesn't get the same hat as me.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39You can wear that one.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Come here!- Oh, I love you, Anthony.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45I'm so happy for you.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48That's us with the Blackpool Tower behind us, look.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51Oh, yeah.

0:32:51 > 0:32:56Now, that's me and Mary at Harry Ramsden's.

0:32:56 > 0:32:57Oh, and that one's on the beach.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00That's Mary in that deckchair.

0:33:00 > 0:33:05Have you got any of Mary before she was in the urn, Joe?

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Oh, no, she didn't like her photo taken, Swastika.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13I've got a scan photo of the baby in my bag, Joe, if you'd like to have look at it.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Oh, yeah?

0:33:15 > 0:33:17No, thanks.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21I think you're on a winner with Anthony. He's a smashing lad.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23Yeah, I know.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26I much prefer you to his last girlfriend, Emma.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29Thanks, Joe.

0:33:29 > 0:33:35- She was much better looking than you, but you've got a better personality.- Right.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40But looks fade, don't they?

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Oh, aye. Oh, aye.

0:33:42 > 0:33:47But not in her case. I saw her last week and she was still bloody gorgeous.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52Hard job being a nurse, isn't it?

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Sometimes, yeah.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58When somebody's going to die,

0:33:58 > 0:34:02do you tell them or do you leave it as a surprise?

0:34:04 > 0:34:08- Well, every case is different.- Mm.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13I know it was as much a surprise to Mary as it was to me when she expired.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16I know she hadn't planned on dying,

0:34:16 > 0:34:19because she'd just bought a 2011 diary.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21Oh, that's a shame.

0:34:23 > 0:34:24Don't tell Barbara, though.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26I gave it her for Christmas.

0:34:27 > 0:34:32Some folk get upset about getting second-hand diaries from dead people.

0:34:32 > 0:34:36Yeah, I can imagine.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Now, this light bulb.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Was it a pearl or was it clear?

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Bloody hell, Joe!

0:34:42 > 0:34:44SHE LAUGHS

0:34:44 > 0:34:46All right, Cheryl?

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Yeah, I'm not bad,

0:34:48 > 0:34:50considering.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52I still can't believe you're moving.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55- No.- It'll be really weird you not living next door any more.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57Yeah, it'll be weird for me too.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01I'll really miss you, you know, Cheryl.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I've always thought of you as like my elder sister.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08- You know, the nice one.- Thanks, Ant.

0:35:08 > 0:35:09Ah!

0:35:11 > 0:35:14I think Saskia's really lovely.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16Yeah, she is, she's great.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20How does she get on with your Lewis?

0:35:20 > 0:35:21Really well. Really well.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24He's at his mum's. We're picking him up tomorrow.

0:35:26 > 0:35:27How did you meet her?

0:35:27 > 0:35:32Well, my mate was in hospital, and I went to visit him and she was his nurse.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35I just thought she was gorgeous.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39He wasn't even that good a mate, but after that, I was there every night!

0:35:41 > 0:35:46The nurses were really lovely in the hospital where my mum was when she was ill.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49- It must have been a really difficult time.- Yeah, it was. It was.

0:35:51 > 0:35:57I used to go every day. Then one morning, I turned up and they'd switched the machine off.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59What, her life support machine?

0:35:59 > 0:36:03No, the vending machine in the corridor.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05Oh, right!

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Listen, don't tell anyone,

0:36:18 > 0:36:22but I'm thinking of asking Saskia to marry me on New Year's Eve.

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Hey, Mam, isn't Saskia lovely?

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Yeah.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45What?

0:36:45 > 0:36:50Don't say anything, but our Anthony is thinking of asking her to marry him on New Year's Eve.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52Ooh!

0:36:59 > 0:37:01Ooh, two Royle weddings.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03In one year.

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Ssh, ssh!

0:37:05 > 0:37:08- Are you all right, Cheryl?- Yeah.

0:37:08 > 0:37:09She's lovely, isn't she, Saskia?

0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:37:12 > 0:37:19Look, don't say anything but Anthony's thinking of asking Saskia to marry him on New Year's Eve.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- We know.- Two Royle weddings!

0:37:22 > 0:37:25- BOTH:- In one year!

0:37:25 > 0:37:27I had me works do last Friday, Dave.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Oh, did you, Ant? So did I.

0:37:29 > 0:37:34- What did you do?- Well, the company hired the Grosvenor in London.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37- The Grosvenor?- Yeah, yeah.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39It was a proper black tie job, it was.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41It kicked off with cocktails.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45It was free drink all night, and then JLS were on stage.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49- JLS?- Then they had this like casino thing, and everybody got £100 worth of chips.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Chips? At the Grosvenor?

0:37:53 > 0:37:57- What did you do on yours?- Well, it started off in the Feathers,

0:37:57 > 0:38:00and it ended up in the Feathers.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Oh, where did you go in between? - The Feathers.

0:38:04 > 0:38:11- Who went?- Well, it was a joint do with Diarrhoea Pete the roofer and Shaky Dave the electrician.

0:38:11 > 0:38:16- Bit of a sesh, was it?- No, cos they both said they had to go after one.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18- Oh, right.- Mm.

0:38:18 > 0:38:23Bit weird, really, because I thought I saw them in the Oak later on when I was going home.

0:38:23 > 0:38:30- Are you sure it was them? - Well, I'm not positive because they were ducking down when I went past.

0:38:32 > 0:38:33Mm.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38We'll really miss you when you move, Cheryl.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40I'll really miss you, Cheryl.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43The kids will really miss you.

0:38:43 > 0:38:45You've been a brilliant godmother.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Oh, thanks, Denise.

0:38:47 > 0:38:53You've potty-trained them, you've taught them to read and write, went to all the parents' evenings for us.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Ah, you've been everything a godmother should be.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59I really love them, Denise.

0:38:59 > 0:39:04You know, I wish wherever I go I could just take them with me.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07No.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Ooh, would you like a little drink of Baileys?- Yeah.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Ah, just think,

0:39:13 > 0:39:19Nana and Mary will be up there now having a little drink from St Peter's drinks cabinet.

0:39:19 > 0:39:24They'll all be up there having a little drink together in heaven now.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27Me mam and Mary,

0:39:27 > 0:39:30- and Michael Jackson.- Ooh, yeah.

0:39:30 > 0:39:34Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain.

0:39:34 > 0:39:40- Ooh, and that little fella from Different Strokes.- Yeah.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43- Cheers.- Cheers.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Ah, remember that time, Cheryl,

0:39:49 > 0:39:51when you got your head stuck in the railings

0:39:51 > 0:39:57- and your mam came down to help and she got her head stuck and all?- Yeah.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01And then your dad came down, and he got his head stuck too.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Oh, yeah.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05And all the firemen were taking photos.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07They put the photo in the Metro.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11- They used it as a caption contest, didn't they?- What won again?

0:40:11 > 0:40:13"Don't feed the animals."

0:40:13 > 0:40:17THEY LAUGH

0:40:17 > 0:40:21What about when your mam went to the priest cos she thought she had the stigmata?

0:40:21 > 0:40:23Yeah. But it was just eczema.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27Yeah! She was dead disappointed.

0:40:27 > 0:40:33- And what about when she won the fancy dress at the Feathers as Desmond Tutu?- Oh, yeah.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36But she hadn't gone as him, had she?

0:40:36 > 0:40:38- Who did she go as? - Shaun Wright-Phillips.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42Shaun Wright-Phillips!

0:40:46 > 0:40:48How's your Lewis, Ant?

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Oh, he's great, yeah. He's great.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52He was in the school concert last week.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55He got picked to play the violin solo.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Wow.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00How's your kids doing, Dave?

0:41:00 > 0:41:03Oh, smashing, yeah. It was their school nativity the other day.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06- Ah!- Yeah, it was great.

0:41:06 > 0:41:11But Denise couldn't come because she was waiting for the DNA results on Jeremy Kyle.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12Yeah.

0:41:16 > 0:41:20- How did little Norma get on? - Oh, she was absolutely brilliant.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22She played the Virgin Mary...

0:41:22 > 0:41:24Aah!

0:41:24 > 0:41:29..but she couldn't remember any of her words, so she just did a forward roll.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33She's really got the acting bug now.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Was little David in it?

0:41:37 > 0:41:39Oh, yeah, he played one of the Three Wise Men.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Oh, which one?- The one with the wet patch who stands at the back waving.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Oh, nice one.

0:41:45 > 0:41:50Mm. I'll tell you what, Ant. There wasn't a prouder parent in there.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58Hey, Dave, don't say anything,

0:41:58 > 0:42:02but I'm thinking of asking Saskia to marry me on New Year's Eve.

0:42:02 > 0:42:04- No!- Yeah.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08- Ah, Ant! Honest?- Yeah.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Come here!

0:42:11 > 0:42:12Ah, Ant.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Cheers, Dave.- Brilliant.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Cheers.

0:42:24 > 0:42:25Thanks, Dave.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30CHERYL SOBS

0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Oh, don't upset yourself, Cheryl. - It's just I don't want to move.- Ah.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37It's me dad. He wants to move

0:42:37 > 0:42:40because the house has got too many memories.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42Well, I can understand that, love.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45But I love those memories.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Ah!

0:42:48 > 0:42:50I don't think he can get over what's happened.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52I think he's having a breakdown.

0:42:52 > 0:42:57Oh, Cheryl, I think you're worrying unnecessarily.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59What's making you think that?

0:42:59 > 0:43:03- I don't know.- Ah!

0:43:03 > 0:43:07# I know it could be Christmas

0:43:07 > 0:43:15# Every day. #

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Oh, thanks, Barbara.

0:43:27 > 0:43:28Oh, thanks, Denise.

0:43:45 > 0:43:47CHERYL SOBS AND SNIFFS

0:43:50 > 0:43:53I really miss her, Jim. I'm lost without her.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55She was the brains of the outfit.

0:43:55 > 0:43:59Hey? Oh, I know that. I know she was, Joe.

0:43:59 > 0:44:04I remember when she was on jury service and she got that confused, she, er,

0:44:04 > 0:44:07she owned up to the murders herself!

0:44:07 > 0:44:10THEY LAUGH

0:44:10 > 0:44:13Yeah, that was her. That was my Mary.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Everywhere she went, she lit up a room.

0:44:15 > 0:44:19Aye. Them Chilean miners could have done with her for a while.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27Do you remember that day we went on an all-day session?

0:44:27 > 0:44:31Mary walked in and found us naked wrestling in front of the gas fire?

0:44:31 > 0:44:33That wasn't me, you bloody crackpot.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36That was you and Bob Carter.

0:44:36 > 0:44:38Eh? Oh, yeah.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Bobby Carter. Oh, yeah.

0:44:42 > 0:44:46Are you sure you're doing the right thing moving, Joe?

0:44:46 > 0:44:47Yeah, I have to, Jim.

0:44:50 > 0:44:52How's Cheryl coping?

0:44:52 > 0:44:54Well, I think she's having a bit of a breakdown.

0:44:54 > 0:44:57She's comfort eating all the time.

0:44:57 > 0:45:02- Although she insists it's an overactive thyroid.- Joe!

0:45:02 > 0:45:05An overactive thyroid?

0:45:05 > 0:45:09It was very active last night. It cleaned out the biscuit tin.

0:45:13 > 0:45:15Ah, Joe.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23Ah, I wish you wasn't going, you know, Joe.

0:45:23 > 0:45:26It was hard enough to lose Mary. We don't want to lose you two as well.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Thanks for today, Jim.

0:45:32 > 0:45:35She'd have loved it today, wouldn't she?

0:45:35 > 0:45:37Aye, she would that.

0:45:37 > 0:45:41Her two little cheeks all rosy red with too much sherry.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46She'd have had a Baileys in her hand and she'd be singing a song.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51# Over in Killarney

0:45:51 > 0:45:54# Many years ago

0:45:54 > 0:46:02# Me mother sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low

0:46:02 > 0:46:10# Just a simple little ditty In her good old Irish way

0:46:10 > 0:46:15# And I'd give the world if I could hear

0:46:15 > 0:46:21# Her sing that song today

0:49:11 > 0:49:14- He's hasn't asked her yet. - Yes, he did, he just said so.

0:49:14 > 0:49:16He asked her on Christmas Eve.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19- It's New Year's Eve, Joe! - SASKIA: What is?

0:49:19 > 0:49:22- ANT: Nothing. - This is not the right moment.

0:49:22 > 0:49:24It might be the right moment.

0:49:24 > 0:49:27It's got nothing to do with you, Denise. This is Anthony's moment.

0:49:27 > 0:49:31- This could be a nice moment. - Let Anthony pick his own moment!

0:49:31 > 0:49:35He doesn't want to have his moment here, she might say no.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38She's not going to say no! She's up the duff, isn't she?

0:49:38 > 0:49:40- So why is he asking her again? - No, Dad, he's not.

0:49:40 > 0:49:43- He hasn't asked her yet.- Well, has he got the ring, do we know?

0:49:44 > 0:49:48Right, it's not exactly how I planned it, but...

0:49:50 > 0:49:52It looks like the moment.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55- It IS the moment. - What's he doing now?

0:51:07 > 0:51:10He's bound to notice she's not all in there.

0:51:10 > 0:51:13Well, why don't we put four scoops of Nana in with Mary?

0:51:42 > 0:51:44- What?- Mary's in the Dyson!

0:51:46 > 0:51:49- Who's in the Dyson? - We were just saying, Joe,

0:51:49 > 0:51:53- we didn't expect Mary to- die soon.

0:51:53 > 0:51:57Oh. Vacuuming on Christmas Day, Barbara?

0:51:57 > 0:51:59Yeah. She knocked an ashtray over, Joe.

0:51:59 > 0:52:01No, Joe.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03It's not that. It's... Um...

0:52:05 > 0:52:07We've got something to tell you, Joe.

0:52:09 > 0:52:13Do you want to tell him, Saskia, with you being a nurse?

0:52:14 > 0:52:16Hey, where's Mary's lid gone?

0:52:18 > 0:52:21Hang on, where's Mary gone?

0:52:25 > 0:52:28There's been an accident, Joe.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04Fancy telling him, Saskia.

0:53:04 > 0:53:06Saskia!

0:53:06 > 0:53:09Don't blame Saskia, Dad. Mam told her to tell him.

0:53:09 > 0:53:12Anyway, it's your fault for knocking it off in the first place.

0:53:12 > 0:53:16It's not my bloody fault. It's his bloody fault for falling on my toe in the first place.

0:53:16 > 0:53:17I was fixing YOUR tree lights.

0:53:17 > 0:53:19Leave Dave out of it, Dad.

0:53:19 > 0:53:21It's not his fault.

0:53:21 > 0:53:25- It's Mam's fault for dropping the frozen turkey on it in the first place.- It wasn't my fault.

0:53:25 > 0:53:28It was your Dad's fault cos he wouldn't double-bag it.

0:53:28 > 0:53:315p for a carrier bag! It's the coa-bloody-lition's fault.

0:53:31 > 0:53:34What's the coalition got to do with Mary being in the Dyson?

0:53:34 > 0:53:37Well, what did you get us a Dyson for in the first place?

0:53:37 > 0:53:39Jim, you know I've always wanted a Dyson.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41Yes, and look at the trouble it's caused.

0:53:41 > 0:53:45I don't think it's the Dyson's fault.

0:53:45 > 0:53:48Well, who has a dead old woman at the table on Christmas Day anyway?

0:53:48 > 0:53:53Jim, do you mind? That dead old woman is Cheryl's dead old mother!

0:54:22 > 0:54:26You know, I've been dreading Christmas without her,

0:54:26 > 0:54:28but I've realised one thing.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33I'll never be on my own while I've got you lot.

0:54:33 > 0:54:36Ah!
