0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Oh, the weather outside is frightful
0:00:30 > 0:00:34# But the fire is so delightful
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# And since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow... #
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Having smeared the turkey with butter,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45now arrange the bacon in a criss-cross formation.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Oh, that's looking beautiful.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54You're doing a grand job. Well done.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Be careful with that knife. You'll have somebody's eye out.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Will you get your head out of the oven? It's very unhygienic.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Come on! There's a perfectly good button here, look.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Minford's doing a grand job with the decorations. He's a genius.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I don't know where he gets it from, certainly not his father.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Are you all right?- I'm fine.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Because, you know, in spite of everything,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I think it's going to be the best Christmas we've ever had.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Oh, Jimmi. I've just signed for this for you.- Excellent!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Anything interesting?
0:01:56 > 0:02:02- Yes! Should be tickets for the Love Gate.- I'm not even going to ask.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06It's a music festival. Cherry's been going on about it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Have you checked the weather forecast?- No. Why?- Mud?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I don't care about mud. I just want to patch things up with Cherry.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- What things?- Oh, nothing. Just a few bumps.- Oh.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- Have I or have I not got time for a quick coffee?- Well, have this one.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Oh, thanks. I'm on reception this morning.- Is Karen not in?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26No, no, she's on home visits. She's helping Cherry out.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27- Oh, hiya.- Hey.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Hey. What do you have planned for the weekend?- Nothing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Good, because I have something that might interest you.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Jimmi, I'm in a hurry. I've got to talk Karen through her HCA duties.- OK, but...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- And I really need a coffee. - Well, have this one.- Thank you.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51OK, so it's Mr Haley, who's the hypochondriac,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54and Mr Wendle with the wandering hands.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- No, Mr Humble's a hypochondriac. Mr Haley has halitosis.- OK.
0:03:00 > 0:03:06- What's wrong?- Tummy's rumbling. I had to miss my breakfast.- Right. OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Then there's Mrs Boyle at 28 Mason Gardens.- Aw, Bridget!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11She's round the corner from me. I can nip home for lunch.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Bridget's just been diagnosed with Huntington's Disease.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- I don't know anything about Huntington's. I won't know what to say.- You don't need to say anything.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23She's had a few falls recently, so make sure you change the dressings.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- And be there, and listen. - OK. I'll see what I can do.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30So what kind of a car is it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I see. That is a good make of car.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41I will have to go now. I will see the car in the evening.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Bye.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- Mrs Tembe, are you buying a second hand car?- Oh, no, Doctor Cassidy.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I have a new next door neighbour,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and I have asked Mrs Marigold to keep an eye on them.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- You can tell a great deal about a person from their car.- Mrs Tembe!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01It is important to keep a sense of community.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04I was very close to Mrs Smith, who lived there before.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Her children wasted no time renting her house out.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Sounds like these new people have a lot to live up to.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So far, it is very promising. A father and son.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- I may pay them a visit later.- Well, give them a chance to settle in.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21They have had the entire morning.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I will pop round in half an hour or so.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Oh! What?!
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Rob, it's me, I'm at 28 Mason Gardens.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I think maybe they're being burgled.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49There's somebody on the roof... Oh, hold on.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53It's Father Christmas. Sorry. Bye.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oi, Santa!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Ho, ho, ho!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01What's your name, little girl?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Is this a joke?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Mrs Hollins, it's me!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Minford!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Oh, you're... - I'm Bridget's son.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16I've come to stay with her.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- All the way from the North Pole?- Oh, this?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I was hanging some decorations.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- I thought I'd get in the Christmas spirit.- It's the middle of July!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I know! It's mad, isn't it?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I live in India, and I couldn't make it home last Christmas,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36so Ma said, as soon as she could get the three of us together,
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- we'd have the full family Christmas with all the trimmings. - Oh, lovely.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Plus, you know...
0:05:43 > 0:05:47we thought she could do with cheering up at the moment, you know?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That's very kind.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Well, if you walk this way, I'll show you to me grotto.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Shall I do some more potatoes?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Ma, there's enough here to feed the 5,000.
0:06:02 > 0:06:065,000 anorexics. How about some Brussels?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Will you give me some space?!- Well, pardon me for trying to be helpful.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Look who I found, loitering with intent.- Hello, Karen!
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- What are you doing here? - I've come to change your dressing.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Oh, is it Monday? I forgot the day. I thought it was Wednesday.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We've all done that!
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Hello, um...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Nuala.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Sorry.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Is there somewhere we can go?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34We'll go into the drawing room.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Will you be all right there on your own?- I think I'll cope.- Right.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44I love Christmas. All the family round.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48This could be my last Christmas when I can chew solid food
0:06:48 > 0:06:50or speak coherent sentences.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Bridget, you've got to stay positive. You could have years yet.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Years of deterioration. Is that supposed to make me feel better?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Right. Well, that's me finished. Is there anything else I can do for you?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Why don't you stay and have lunch with us?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I always say the more the merrier.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13No, that should be for you and your family.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Nuala and Minford are inclined to row, but if there's somebody there,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20they're on their best behaviour.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I wouldn't want to put you to any trouble.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26We've got a ten-pound turkey, sprouts, pigs in blankets,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30mince pies, Christmas pudding, brandy butter,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32and Christmas cake. How's that?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- You had me at the pigs in blankets. - Grand.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Cherry! - Jimmi, you've made me lose count.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Sorry, miss. Won't happen again, miss.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45What do you want?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I just wanted to give you an invitation.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Love Gate.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- When's it for?- Saturday.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- I don't think I can.- Well, you were going on about it last month.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Yeah, well, last month I wasn't this busy. And I wasn't so stressed.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05OK...well, I'll...
0:08:05 > 0:08:09see what I can get for them on e-Bay.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Ah, Nuala, have you set out an extra place for Karen?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17No, Ma, I've been busy cooking.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19When you invite someone to your house for dinner,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22it's essential to make them feel welcome.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I didn't invite her! Though it's lovely to have you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- If it's too much trouble... - No, none at all.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Listen, will you hurry up? Chop chop.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:36 > 0:08:37# ..Christmas in Killarney
0:08:37 > 0:08:40# With all of the folks at home... #
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Minford! This is beautiful!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Do you like it?- I can't believe
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- you've done all this for me.- You are the best mother in the world.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Do you need any help?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Hmm. Are you any good with baubles?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02# ..With all of the folks at home
0:09:02 > 0:09:04# The holly green, the ivy green
0:09:04 > 0:09:07# The prettiest picture you've ever seen
0:09:07 > 0:09:11# Christmas in Killarney With all of the folks at home... #
0:09:11 > 0:09:14LAUGHTER
0:09:14 > 0:09:18# ..And Santa Claus is one of the boys from home
0:09:18 > 0:09:20# We'll decorate the Christmas tree
0:09:20 > 0:09:22# While all the family's here
0:09:22 > 0:09:23# Around a roaring fire... #
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Good afternoon! My name is... - Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50I beg your pardon?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I don't need a conservatory, I don't want cheaper phone calls,
0:09:53 > 0:09:59- and don't tell me about God, cos I already go to church.- I'm very glad to hear that. My name is Mrs Tembe.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- And?- And I live next door to you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Welcome to Brunswick Street.- Oh.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Thanks.- Now. I have brought a rather fine fruit cake.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Perhaps you would like to put the kettle on.- Right.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26So what do you do in India?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I'm a wireless communications executive.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- I sell mobile phones, basically.- He always was the brains of the family.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- He's got a house in Bombay.- Mumbai.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40They keep changing the names of things and make me feel old.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- What does Nuala do?- Not a lot. - She looks after you, Ma,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- which is a very important job. - Pity there weren't more candidates.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Oh, wow!- Well done, sis!
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Did you remember to turn off the oven?- Yes, Ma.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I can't believe you made that! All my kids can make is beans on toast.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It's a Delia recipe. You really can't go wrong.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12The green stars are for green bin days.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- The yellow stars are for wheelie bin days.- Right.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- I'm sure you've got a lot to get on with.- No. I have plenty of time.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Would you like me to cut the cake?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Or would you prefer to share it with your wife?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- I don't have a wife.- Oh. Oh, I am so sorry.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Don't be. You're not the one who ran off with her.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36It must be very hard for you. If I can offer any assistance...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Dad, it's your phone.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Hello?- Who're you?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46My name is Mrs Tembe.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I am your new next door neighbour.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Mrs Hollins, would you like a bit of leg? I've always been a breast man.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Behave!- Lovely.- Wine? - No, I shouldn't.- Oh, come on.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Keep me company.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- OK, well, just a very small...- Ma?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I'll have the same.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11That's too small!
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Christmas is not the same without the children, is it?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Do your Jack and Imogen have any little ones yet?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24I hope not! They're just kids themselves!
0:12:24 > 0:12:28And how about you, Minford? Is there any special lady in India?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31No, not at the moment.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35You don't have to be shy. I know people don't talk about these things
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- before they're married. - No, there's really no-one.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44It must be hard to be able to choose any woman from the whole world, and just choose one.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Why make one woman miserable when you could make a lot of women happy?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well, if there is anyone,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'd like to see her here...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57It'd make me very happy.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- All right, there is someone. - I knew it! What's her name?
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Indira. But it's early days. I don't want to jinx it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15This is the best Christmas present I've ever had.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Indira. She sounds...unbelievable.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21You never ask me if I've got anybody.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24No. I don't.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- So where do you come from? - I told you. I come from next door.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- No, but really. - No, really, I come from next door!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44You may think that all of these houses are empty.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46In fact, they are filled with people,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and everyone has a story to tell.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Yes, but before that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Oh. Before that, well, I lived in Botswana.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00That is in the southern part of Africa.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Is that like the jungle?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Well, there is a very big desert, called the Kalahari.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And in the savannah, you can see rhinos, and zebras, and elephants.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'd love to see an elephant.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- I could show you one, if you like? - How?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Have you got a piece of paper?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Umm...yeah.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Is that all right?- Mm.
0:14:35 > 0:14:42The first thing you must do is fold it in half, like this.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Well, this is the best Christmas dinner I've had all week.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Should someone go and get Nuala? - Ah, she'll be back.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56As long as we ignore her for long enough.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58It was probably a big shock for her as well.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01A broken nail is a big shock for Nuala.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Right. Well...cheers, everybody.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Cheers.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10# Rocking around the Christmas... #
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- Some more wine, Mrs Hollins? - Oh, no.- You sure?- No, honestly.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15# ..At the Christmas party hop
0:15:15 > 0:15:20# Mistletoe hung where you can see
0:15:20 > 0:15:22# Every couple tries to stop... #
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Elephant's trunk... There. - Yeah, that's all right.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29# ..Let the Christmas spirit ring
0:15:29 > 0:15:33# Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
0:15:33 > 0:15:35# And we'll do some carolling
0:15:35 > 0:15:40# You will get a sentimental feeling... #
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The neck is very, very hard to make.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Merry Christmas! God bless us, every one!
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Glad tidings of great joy I bring.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Your dinner's cold.- It's Christmas.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I'm too excited to eat.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Would you care to pull a cracker? - Where did you get that?- Homemade.- Oh!
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Bang.- Look, you've won some nail clippers.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- No expense spared!- There's a joke.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13"Why doesn't Minford bring his girlfriend home for Christmas?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16"Because it's a man."
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Oh, for heaven's sake, you must know by now.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Know what?- Minford's gay.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28- No, he isn't.- He is, but he doesn't want to hurt your feelings,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- so he keeps it a secret.- This is insulting!- It's not an insult.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It's what he is.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Are you?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40No!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42There. You see? Thank you.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48My Immie had a relationship with a woman.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Is it still going on?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53No, she prefers men actually.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56This is ridiculous! Do you really think
0:16:56 > 0:17:00the men he used to bring back here were just good friends?
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Why did he only ever have one friend at a time?
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Then he'd split up with them and another one would show up.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08# La, la, la! I'm not listening! I'm not listening! #
0:17:08 > 0:17:10This is not the right time.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14It's never the right time! But... there's something else.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I'm going to college.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- What?!- I've just been accepted.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It's only Letherbridge... and it's only part time.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I need you here full time!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Ten years ago, I couldn't go to college because Dad died.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Then I had to look after you. And then Minford went off to India.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35Yes, it's a pity the wrong family member left the house.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think it's great you're going to college.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- What are you studying?- Beauty.- Hah! You've a lot to learn.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44SNIGGERING
0:17:52 > 0:17:54When did you learn to do this?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I taught myself, when I first came to England.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01When I was stuck indoors and thought the rain would never end.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- I like the elephants best.- So do I.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Because they care for each other.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10You know, when elephants are walking,
0:18:10 > 0:18:14they sometimes hold onto the elephant in front, like this.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- Are you done?- Dad!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Look, I've got a lot of unpacking. I really do need to get on.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- Of course! Please, if I can be of any assistance...- Yeah.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- I'll see you out.- It was very nice meeting you, Cameron.- Bye.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I think someone should have a word with Nuala.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Don't worry. I'm going to.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- It's just that she looked a little...- Pig ignorant?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- No...- Malicious?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I need to go to the toilet.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- It's just down the hall on the left. - Thank you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Nuala?
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Nuala?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24# Silent night
0:19:24 > 0:19:29# Holy night
0:19:29 > 0:19:33# All is calm
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- # All is bright... #- Nuala?
0:19:40 > 0:19:41# Round... #
0:19:41 > 0:19:44What are you doing?!
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- So are you all set for Saturday? - No. Not really.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Why not?- Cherry doesn't want to go. - What, to a music festival?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58She says she's got too much work on.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Well, that doesn't sound right!
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I mean, we've got Karen helping her out with home visits,
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- and there's a new agency nurse starting tomorrow.- Really?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Yeah, really. You need to talk to her.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18What are you doing?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Oh, you know... A bit of maths.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Calculating terminal velocity.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28How much pain I'd suffer on impact.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35You're not seriously going to seriously throw yourself down there?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I don't know.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43But I think about it about ten times a day.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Are things really that bad?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I just don't see any escape route.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53I can't go to college.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Why, of course you can.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Whyever not?- Well, you heard Ma.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02What do I know about beauty?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I don't know your mum that well,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12but I think she's terrified of losing you.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18She thinks that if you knew how clever and talented you are,
0:21:18 > 0:21:21you'd run a mile, just like Minford.
0:21:21 > 0:21:27I didn't want to abandon her. I just wanted to do something with my life.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Nuala, you still can.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I don't know where I stand with you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38We were looking at houses, everything was wonderful.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Yeah. It was wonderful!
0:21:40 > 0:21:44We see somewhere that's perfect and you don't want to move.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49Well, it's like I said, it's just, er...complicated.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Yes, Jimmi, so you keep saying.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I feel...stuck.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Cherry...- You know what, Jimmi?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06..I'm not interested any more. I've got things to do.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Oh, so you've condescended to join us.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- I have to do this course.- Fine.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It'll be like everything else you try.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21You'll be sick of it by the second week.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You're not going to put me off.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24OK, can I just say something?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It wouldn't be Christmas without the queen's speech.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I think you're being incredibly selfish to Ma!
0:22:29 > 0:22:36Says the man who travelled halfway across the world rather than tell her the truth. Yes, I feel bad!
0:22:36 > 0:22:40There's a 50% chance that I might have Huntingdon's.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45And it could appear at any time, and...I want to live.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48You want to live! Of course you do.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We didn't have birth control in Ireland before you were born,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53or we wouldn't have had you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58You have been nothing but a burden to me.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01And now when I really need you, you tell me
0:23:01 > 0:23:04you want to go and learn how to put on your mascara.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Merry Christmas, Nuala(!)
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- You disgust me.- Fine!
0:23:10 > 0:23:14If that's how you feel, it makes my decision a whole lot easier.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Well, you won't come back! I'll change the locks.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Why would I want to? To sit in your fake Christmas grotto?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Hearing fairytales of imaginary girlfriends?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30No! I don't need any of this! Christmas is cancelled!
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Minford, Nuala, outside.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- What?- Out!
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- Doctor Cassidy.- Mrs Tembe! How was your visit?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It went very well.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53I am always pleased to keep community spirit alive.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Nice people?- The boy is a delight.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Do you know, his mother ran away and left him? Shame.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03The father was a little withdrawn,
0:24:03 > 0:24:07but I am sure in time, we will all become good friends.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- I don't know what to do now.- Well, I think she's made up her mind.
0:24:15 > 0:24:21All you can do is apologise for what you've said, and wish her the best.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26I know! I'll phone up the college and say she's mentally unstable.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- You've only got to look at her. - You need to look at yourself!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Why are you behaving like this?
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Karen, I could lose her forever. She might find someone.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Minford's a nice boy, but I never see him.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Perhaps you need to ask yourself why.- What?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, maybe Nuala's got a point.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50I'm not saying he is gay, but you need to tell him that you love him,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53no matter who he's in love with.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54- Ma?- Nuala?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'm sorry for upsetting you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I don't want to abandon you forever.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I just want to get away, work out what to do next.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Where are you going?
0:25:07 > 0:25:08I'll know when I get there.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11You're responsible for this.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14You have turned my daughter against me.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Trust me, I can't make kids do anything.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I'll give you a lift, if you would like.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23And you know where I am if you need me.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Don't forget some turkey sandwiches!
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I can't stand sodding turkey.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39She'll be back. Ungrateful bitch.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Is there anything I can do?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Can you give me a hug?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Thanks, son.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And now, perhaps you can tell me
0:25:55 > 0:25:58all about that girlfriend of yours in India.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01# ..Christmas in Killarney With all the folks at home... #
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Come on! Oh, come on, no!
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Agh!
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Wow.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15IT problem.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Probably not the best way to solve it.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Cherry still wants us to move and she can't understand why we can't.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I'm so sorry, Jimmi, this must be really difficult for you.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- She thinks I'm hiding something. - Well, you are. ..Sorry.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Look, do you really love her?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yeah, course I do!
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Then do something to show her. - Like what?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Like buy her some jewellery.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I think we're past buying a little bit of jewellery, don't you?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I wasn't talking about just any bit of jewellery.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Alan Batten - in Botswana he would be locked up.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12In Letherbridge, they let him hold a press conference.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16I took nothing! Whatever she told you, she's a liar!
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- I left a respectable job in Gabarone. - Then why don't you go back there?
0:27:20 > 0:27:26- Because England is my home now! - England is mine, my country.
