0:00:25 > 0:00:29Company! Eyes...right!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Come on, you nasty lot! Come on, quicker! Faster!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- They're on us. They're behind us. - Good work, Captain Sims.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- Vickers, Aston, now! Go!- Excellent.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41They're on us. Come on, it's ours to lose!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Brooking, you're lagging behind!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Come on, that's it! Over. Quick, quick, quick.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Come on! Pick up the pace, that's it. Come on! Come on, team.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58That's hardly leading from the front, Brooking!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00# ..King Wenceslas looked out
0:01:00 > 0:01:03# On the feast of Stephen... #
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Somebody's got the Christmas spirit.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Oh, I am looking to performing at St Philomena's.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Eh, perhaps I could look in on Doctor Cassidy?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Julia's visiting.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Apparently, she's fine. They're just keeping her in for observation.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Ah, well, that is a relief.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Nurse Malone, have you learnt the CORRECT lyrics yet?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Well, I, I... - Are you not looking forward to it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Well, it's just not very convenient.
0:01:28 > 0:01:33I'm sure the patients don't think spending Christmas in hospital is "convenient".
0:01:33 > 0:01:38- I didn't mean that. - We have a duty to those poor people to turn up and do our best.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43Now, I hope you're not thinking of letting them - and us - down(?)
0:01:44 > 0:01:45No.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Good.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Well, the ladies of the choir are very excited.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But we do have an... established way of working,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- now with regard to the conducting... - I don't need any tips on conducting.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- But...- I have my own way of working and they'll just have to follow me.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Right, song sheets.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Morning, ma'am. Pass, please.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Zara Carmichael, I'm here to see Captain Sims.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Straight on.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Not a great performance. - We should be doing live-fire, not log-slogging.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Are you questioning my judgment? - I'm saying...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27We were on the range at dawn, we're in Tin City tomorrow.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28None of that is any use
0:02:28 > 0:02:32if we haven't got the lung power to sustain us through contact.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Now listen in!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39As you know, we are being considered for operational deployment.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Selection is a distinct privilege
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and recognition that we, as a squadron, are considered able
0:02:46 > 0:02:50to take the field - and fight - as well as our regular counterparts.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I have every intention of gaining us that privilege.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That is all.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- He can cut the martinet act. - He wants the deployment.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Maybe not for all of us. - What do you mean?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Third time he's bawled me out this week.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10If I didn't know better, I'd say he was sending me a message.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13Carmichael!
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Simmsy!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Look at you. Nice make-up.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Do they do matching lippy?
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Actually, yes. Limited distribution, marines, special forces
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and weirdos over the internet.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Actually, think I prefer your usual shade of Sultry Scarlet.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I think my scarlet days might be behind me.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Hey, you're...
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Not quite the same Carmichael.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Bad girl, you didn't tell me!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- I thought you liked surprises. - And it's a great one.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Shame now, I thought you were coming down for a bit of action,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- looks like I'll have to handle the boys on my own. - Well, not so fast, Simmsy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I can still grab some of the attention.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- In a evening maternity dress? - I can still do sexy.- I'm sure.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Anyway, rest of the day is going to be fun, fun, fun, drinks, lunch, general celebration.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01We can freshen up at mine. You can watch me change back into a girl.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Company! Eyes...left!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10A spa? Do you know how much I'd love that?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Well, I've got another night before I have to head home.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Why don't you come back with me after dinner?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Thanks, but I know I'd just be late for parade tomorrow.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23That's a shame. I could have done with some sparky company.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Most of the women there are wealthy women d'un certain age.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31But then at dinner, lots of younger men appear at their tables.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Mmm... Sin City.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, yes.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38While their husband's are trading oil or playing golf,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41they're living it up at Toy-Boy Central.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Jealous?- I prefer men to boys.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48But if they can work a pair of leather trousers...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I take it Daniel's a definite man, then?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56He has his moments.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So this wasn't one of your eat them up and spit them out relationships?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Well, hardly. I wouldn't be having this baby with him, would I?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Hey, I...- It was a really big decision and it wasn't easy.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07We, we had to...
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Problems?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12We had to do IVF.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, it worked.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Before you know it, you'll be covered in nappies and going to bed at six o'clock.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Why does everyone assume that because I'm having a baby my entire life is over?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Never really figured out why you do all this.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- What?- This TA stuff.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37You've got your life in London.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Why spend your weekend scrabbling in the mud?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- It's different.- It's lunacy.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Corporate law isn't so sexy.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And lying in ditches is?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Can be.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I've been taking sleeping tablets.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, there's nothing unusual about that.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Hang...hang on, are you saying that yesterday, it...
0:06:09 > 0:06:11it wasn't an overdose?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13No. No. It was...
0:06:13 > 0:06:17It was a combination of sleeping tablets and...
0:06:17 > 0:06:18and other things.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Well, what other things?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Herbal stimulants.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26You were taking sleeping pills AND stimulants?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28I couldn't sleep and I couldn't get going.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yeah, but you shouldn't have taken them together.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- I know.- You would know that. I mean, you are a doctor.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I know, I'm a doctor, and...
0:06:38 > 0:06:40..contrary to my own advice on many occasions,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I bought them off the internet.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Why would you do that? Are they illegal?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Not illegal...just...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53..I was ashamed of taking so much medication.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It's unforgivable in my position.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I have to go, Julia. I'm a liability.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I think I should resign.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Of course, you're off the booze.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10I can still be fun.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Oh, hello. Here comes something shiny.- Hi.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Jamie, this is Zara. Zara, Jamie Brooking.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25So are you a captain?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Lieutenant.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Kate's subordinate?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Junior.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Oh, you don't look so very junior to me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Carmichael, I've already warned him about you.- Oh, really?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38In the nicest way. Kate said her most beautiful friend was coming.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Well, I won't challenge the description.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It's true, especially in your present condition.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Oh, congratulations. And you do look wonderful.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Captain Sims, I take it this is your guest?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Zara Carmichael, Major Fallon.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Simon. - Simon is our officer commanding.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55And are you...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57commanding?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Oh, I keep them in order.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Well, meeting you two boys,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05now I understand what it is that attracted Kate to the TA.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06GONG RINGS
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Ah, luncheon is served. Shall we, er...?- Oh.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14It was a vasovagal attack.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Erm, I do the money and people, remember?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22My heart slowed, that caused my blood pressure to drop.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Right, so that's why you fainted?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27And was this all down to the drugs?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Maybe some fatigue involved, but it was...
0:08:30 > 0:08:35it was probably down to something cardiotoxic in the medication I was buying.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I know. I know. Prize dope.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40No pun intended.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Elaine, I think I could have prevented this, you know.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48All that dreadful stuff with Harrison.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You should've had more time off, I should've insisted.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It was nothing to do with you, Julia. It was down to me.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57My own mess. My own stupid fault.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01So, you and Kate go back a long way?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Oh, before uni, before Kate went off to do boring law.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07And before you decided to do boring medicine.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- I imagine medicine's interesting. - You get to meet sick people.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13And tell me, your last job was the conveyancing on a...?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Confectionary factory.- Any freebies?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It was a multi-million-pound deal.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21No, surely they could have chucked you a box of soft-centres.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24So, Jamie, what do you do on Civvy Street?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Lieutenant Brooking is an estate agent.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Lettings rather than sales, I believe?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- I head up the lettings department. - Battersea office.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Oh. We used to warm up on the Northcote Road, before heading into town.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Bet you were quite a combination.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39You must have made a stunning pair.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41"Stunning"?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Isn't there must be a less tabloid term to describe beautiful women?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Zara was the beautiful one. I was just her sidekick.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I think you do protest...
0:09:50 > 0:09:51CROCKERY CLATTERS
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Oh! Sorry. Clumsy pregnancy thing...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02What does your therapist say?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Ah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04What?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06He's dumped me.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Oh. Can he do that?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- If he feels I'm no longer engaging with therapy.- Ooh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Maybe he needs a therapist.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Actually, maybe I should get one for the all staff.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Especially the ones that are moving house.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23He'd have much more to deal with than that...
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Yeah. You mean like a fixation with waistcoats and bow ties.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29We wouldn't have time to do surgery.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31We'd have to put a sign up saying,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34"Sorry, closed, due to staff being in therapy."
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Except you, of course.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Julia?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I'm sorry. Excuse me a minute.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Julia?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50So, which one is it?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Juicy Jamie or Major Manhood?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55The Major's married with two children.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Isn't he's also a chiselled god? - And?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01All's fair in love and war games.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04It's Jamie.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Yummy! So what's it like when he storms your ramparts?
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Carmichael!
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Oh! So it's serious, is it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- It's kind of on and off. - Well, so is it on or off?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18We did get a bit drunk in the mess last night.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh, I remember those.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Waking up in the morning to a bed full of booty.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25KATE LAUGHS
0:11:25 > 0:11:30- And a hangover and a sense of guilt. - Well, the hangovers were a drag.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33So do you plan on getting him disorderly tonight?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Not sure if it's a good idea.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Sex is invariably a good idea.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Especially if it's with your own Action Man,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43with close-cropped hair and gripping hands...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's over here by the Christmas tree.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55If you'd all like to step this way.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59There we are. Sopranos at the front, altos at the back.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Doris, darling, you're a bit on the tall side,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05so altos at the back, please. Thank you.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Freya, I should like you at the back, as well.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I...know my resemblance to Katherine Jenkins is only passing,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13but I'm actually a soprano.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Yes, but your ensemble does not match our ensemble.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20There was me thinking we were singing carols, not learning French?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I told everyone to wear white blouses
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and you're wearing red! I mean...
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Just think of me as a festive bauble.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Oh, Emily and Virginia, er, you're sopranos,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33so if you'd like to take your places over here... Yes?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Are you a soprano?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yes, I am.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Er, Hermione, darling, Hermione. Hermione.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43She's a soprano all right. She's Tony Soprano.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oh! Very good.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Mrs Tembe, I thought that you at least would be taking this seriously.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I take all my charitable ventures very seriously.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Then can you please stop gossiping and get into line? Thank you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Where's Cherry?- I'm here!
0:12:58 > 0:13:01How many times did I tell you, you mustn't be late?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I didn't mean to be!
0:13:03 > 0:13:07The sopranos are all ranged over here, if you'd care to take your place.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08No giggling, please.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Right then, do come along. Come along.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Posture, posture!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17"Here, stand up straight, you 'orrible little choir!"
0:13:17 > 0:13:20THEY ALL LAUGH
0:13:20 > 0:13:24So you and Kate were quite the girls about town?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25We had our moments.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27So who were the suitors?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Why would you like to know?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31General interest.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Is he a senior officer?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Touche.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37So?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39City boys. Lawyers.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45There was one Middle-Eastern Prince who sent over a jeroboam,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48in the hope that it would hook the two of us...
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Did he get his wish?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Not with Kate.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56So who DID Kate get involved with?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58General interest?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Well, she's my second in command.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04So you'd like to know the history of anyone who's serving under you?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09A few long-termers. A couple of flings.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I know of at least one...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14married man.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17With your medical training,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20you would have been a very useful member of the TA.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Not quite my thing. I enjoy discipline.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27But I prefer dispensing it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Julia?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Elaine, you shouldn't be out here.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- I should, if you are upset. - Oh, it's nothing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's obviously not nothing.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Well, it's just... It...it's Chloe.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Well, no, it's not. It is Patrick, really. It's just...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's just such a mess!
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Come back inside.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57I really do need to get back to The Mill.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's your paperwork afternoon.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Surely even talking to me's more interesting than that?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04OK.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Shall we begin?
0:15:05 > 0:15:10On your song sheets, number five, Frosty The Snowman.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Yeah, I KNOW it's not traditional.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Yes, and I know that you think that it's a jingle.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19But jingles do have their place, you know.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Is Jingle Bells a jingle?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- What?- Oh, it's a fair point.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Clever self-reference in the title, but..
0:15:26 > 0:15:31Look...I just think that Frosty is a jolly...
0:15:31 > 0:15:33number to begin with. That's all.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36So if you wouldn't mind? Thank you.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Erm...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40One, two, three...
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- MARINA DROWNS OUT THE CHOIR - # Frosty the Snowman
0:15:44 > 0:15:47# Has a jolly happy soul
0:15:47 > 0:15:51# With a corncob pipe and a button nose
0:15:51 > 0:15:54# And two eyes made out of coal... #
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You've done him as well, haven't you?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Who?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Major Manhood.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12You've jumped his bones.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15When, where, and how many times?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I can't tell you here. Come on.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It happened when we were on exercise in Canada.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- "Exercise" being the appropriate verb.- I'm not proud.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- Of bedding your commanding officer? - I'm not proud that he's married. Or that I cheated on Jamie.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I thought that was on and off?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45It was on at the time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46How long have you been seeing Jamie?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Three years.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50But you don't love him?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Oh, Jamie's really attentive. He's kind and thoughtful and...
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Buys you flowers every Friday?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Actually, yes, he used to, before I told him to stop.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00But Jamie's always there when I need him.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- A safety net?- He's safe.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Safe isn't sexy. Dangerous is sexy.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Naughty is sexy.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Carmichael!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10So marks out of ten for Major Manhood?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We haven't gone all the way.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Never?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Everything but.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- And how was "everything but"? - Oh, fantastic!
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Right, you have to take what you want.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Oh, what about Jamie?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26He's your safety net.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Why not have a dance on the high wire?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Oh, I can't!
0:17:31 > 0:17:32This is your chance.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37If you don't take it, you could spend the rest of your life
0:17:37 > 0:17:39wondering what it might have been like.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Amazing how us men can go to the powder-room unaccompanied.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03It's more than merely functional. For us, it's a place of intrigue.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Of gossip.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Of secrets revealed.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- What did she say? - Perhaps she didn't say anything.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Zara...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14How much do you want her?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- I, er...- How much...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23do you...want her?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32What are you waiting for?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Zara, I need to speak to you...
0:18:41 > 0:18:45# So he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun..." #
0:18:45 > 0:18:46No, no, no, no, no, no!
0:18:46 > 0:18:51- You're completely mistiming it! - Marina...- WHAT?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Can I just have a little word?
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Look...
0:18:57 > 0:19:00..we're really grateful for everything you've done
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and putting this whole thing together, that's a real achievement.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Well, it would have been easier if people were a little more diligent.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Right. With regard to that, we...
0:19:10 > 0:19:14That is, the choir, we're thinking that...
0:19:14 > 0:19:17We're thinking that in terms of musical direction,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20it might be better if somebody else took the lead.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So you all think it's my fault?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27No, not "fault".
0:19:27 > 0:19:31We just need someone with a little more sensitivity.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I just I wanted it to go well, that's all...
0:19:34 > 0:19:39And it will. With a firmer hand on the tiller.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Or baton.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And who exactly were you, erm...?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Mrs Tembe?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49No, this is Mrs Bonnaire's project.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh, well, if, er...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54..that's how you feel then, erm...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Well...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Well, I...I will endeavour to honour your commitment
0:20:03 > 0:20:07and organisation by conducting to the best of my ability.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Erm, page eight, please.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Good King Wenceslas.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21# Aaaaa! #
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Two, three, four.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30# Good King Wenceslas last looked out on the feast of Stephen
0:20:30 > 0:20:33# When the snow lay round about
0:20:33 > 0:20:36# Deep and crisp and even
0:20:36 > 0:20:39# Brightly shown the moon that night... #
0:20:39 > 0:20:46I was so looking forward to having Chloe live close by, you know?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54I'd all these plans, things we'd do together, you know,
0:20:54 > 0:20:55we'd go for walks.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01We'd go shopping and, er, I would take her to the cinema.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04But is it really that definite?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06For her mother it is.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11And I suppose after the way that Patrick's behaved,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15if I was being objective, which, of course, I can't be...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Can you try building bridges?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Pretty much burned them.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Sorry.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29SHE SOBS
0:21:34 > 0:21:38It was never meant to be like this. I never thought it would be.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43A family's supposed to be a unit and mine is just scattered.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44It's just broken.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Elaine, I...
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I don't even know if I'm ever going to see Chloe again!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00If the brass give us the nod, we'll be going on deployment next spring.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Well, when I say "we..."
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You won't be volunteering?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Of course I'll volunteer.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I just I think Fallon will be recommending me for Rear Party.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11"Rear Party"?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Left behind to deal with admin, family issues...
0:22:14 > 0:22:15And what about Kate?
0:22:15 > 0:22:20- Well, she'll be going. She's the second in command. - His right-hand woman.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22In his dreams.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25He'd love a crack at her, but his wife keeps him on a short lead.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Especially after she caught him having an affair with someone in his firm.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Really? - Complete womaniser. Can't you tell?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Aren't you worried about her?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Active service? Sure.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38No, I, I, I mean...
0:22:38 > 0:22:42And I don't want to jinx it and I know it's been off and on, but...
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I want to give her this.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I thought if I proposed, I could convince her of just how serious I am.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51What do you think?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I think she'll get the message, but...
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Great.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- W-where are you going? - No time like the present.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Oh, Jamie...
0:23:03 > 0:23:06# When a poor man came in sight
0:23:06 > 0:23:12# Gathering winter fuel... #
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- # 'Bring me flesh and bring me wine...' #- Jamie!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19# 'Bring me pine logs hither...' #
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Jamie..!
0:23:20 > 0:23:22# 'Thou and I will see him dine
0:23:22 > 0:23:26# 'When we bear them thither.' #
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Oh, no.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29# Page and monarch forth they went... #
0:23:29 > 0:23:32You must think I'm a complete wreck.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34You're an amateur, compared to me.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Of late, I'm an Olympic-standard wreck.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Elaine, what are you doing at Christmas?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Hiding under the duvet with some non-dairy chocolates.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Well, would you like to do that in my house?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I've heard of Crisis at Christmas...
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Well, we'll call it CRISES at Christmas.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I'd like to think it was charitable,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but, to be honest with you, I just...
0:24:03 > 0:24:07I just can't face the thought of Christmas on my own.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09And anyway, you need to recuperate...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12That's very kind. I'd love to.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Good. Good. Good.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- You knew she was sleeping with Fallon!- No, that's not...
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Jamie!- How long has it been going on?- Today!
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Liar!- No, it's true.- I showed you the ring. You could said!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Why didn't you stop him?- I... - Now look, Brooking...
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Jamie!
0:24:35 > 0:24:37You'll be on a charge for that.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39You're married! Not that that's ever stopped you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Brooking!- What about that NATO liaison officer in Canada?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44She any good?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47This is your fault.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51It was not me who was having sex with them both.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53You wish that it was. And you wanted fireworks.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- No, that's not... - You love to manipulate people, play them off against each other.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I seem to remember that YOU enjoyed some of that.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04Not like you. With you, it's a psychopathic need for attention.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06That is just not...
0:25:06 > 0:25:07You're a little girl.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10You're scared because you're with one man,
0:25:10 > 0:25:15you're scared because you're pregnant and you're scared because you're getting older.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I am not scared.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You're terrified. You always were.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Kate...
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Just go.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42# We wish you a merry Christmas We wish you a merry Christmas
0:25:42 > 0:25:44# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:25:44 > 0:25:46# And a happy new year
0:25:46 > 0:25:49# Good tidings we bring
0:25:49 > 0:25:51# To you and your kin
0:25:51 > 0:25:53# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:25:53 > 0:25:55# And a happy new year
0:25:55 > 0:26:00# Now bring us a figgy pudding Now bring us a figgy pudding
0:26:00 > 0:26:02# Now bring us a figgy pudding
0:26:02 > 0:26:05# And bring some out here... #
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Hello, it's me.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I want you to call me back.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Because...
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I want you to tell me that I AM a good person.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I know what I have been like.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22And I know we've had some fun with that.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24But I...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I want to change.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I want to be a good mother.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32I want...
0:26:35 > 0:26:39I'm just looking forward to coming home tomorrow.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42OUR home...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45# Good tidings we bring
0:26:45 > 0:26:48# To you and your kin
0:26:48 > 0:26:50# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:26:50 > 0:26:52# And a happy new year
0:26:52 > 0:26:56# We wish you a merry Christmas
0:26:56 > 0:27:03# And a happy new year. #
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Well, I'm going to tell her straight and she'll laugh and smile and...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12That's not going to work, is it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14You knew about this, didn't you?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I want the best turkey in Letherbridge.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Sorry, can't help.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22What?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- You might as well just tell me. - Well, we would if we...
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I'm not asking you, airhead, I'm asking him.
