0:00:26 > 0:00:31# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
0:00:31 > 0:00:34# Everywhere you go... #
0:00:34 > 0:00:36That's it. That's lovely.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Spread them apart, like these ones here.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40That's it, just keep... You need... You might...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Just keep... Oh, they need to be fanned out.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Alfie!
0:00:45 > 0:00:47It looks beautiful.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Come on, you've been up all night. Come back to bed, yeah?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Nan and Jean have taken Tommy to Belinda's, so...
0:00:52 > 0:00:53No can do, sweetheart.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I've gotta finish putting all these lights up. Fats!
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Come on, mate, you're with me today, all right?- What about the stall?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Don't worry about the stall, we've got to finish the market.- All right.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- You all right?- Yeah, fine.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Denny, can you hurry up, please?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Listen, you go and sort him out. I'll take care of that.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- It's all right, Jack, I can manage. - Go on.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Thanks.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Are you going to sign my card or have you got one of your own?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Eh?- Oscar's birthday?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Oh, of course.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Jack, look, I promised Phil I'd go over tonight.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Come on, he's my nephew!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Sorry, but we need to go over what to say tomorrow. - Well, go over after.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Max and Tanya, they're expecting us,
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and besides, he's Oscar's mate, isn't he?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Yeah, yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Smells good.- Yeah?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Look at that.- Look at that, eh? - Yeah.- All done?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I haven't even started yet.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I just want everything to be perfect today.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I don't want to think about anything else except my little boy.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05These scan results...
0:02:05 > 0:02:08they'll be fine, I promise.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10We don't know that, do we?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Well, there's no point thinking otherwise, is there?
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Anyway, like you said...- Oi! - ..today, it's all about Oscar.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Yeah. So you can start by dropping him at school, please.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- All right. See you later. - Not too late.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, I've got a car auction up in Enfield.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Max...- Babe, I won't be late. Couple of hours.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Three hours, tops. I won't be late.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31OK? See you later.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34All right, birthday boy! Somewhere you need to be this morning?
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Pucker up! Get your free mistletoe with every purchase over three quid!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Here, Denise. Word of advice for you, love.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Customers love a gimmick. You've got a lot to learn.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Yes, ladies?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Well, I've got to give it to you, Alfie.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I didn't think you'd be able to pull this off.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah, well, wish I could say the same about your stall, Tyler.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01All right! You'll be laughing on the other side of your faces later
0:03:01 > 0:03:03when we rake it in.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oh, we're just quaking in our boots, bruv! Quaking!
0:03:06 > 0:03:07- Fats!- Easy!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- All right, Alfie? - You all right, Derek?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11What, have you given up on the wager already?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Whoa, hold on! What, you call this giving up, do you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17You ain't going to make no money with an empty stall, are you? Eh?
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Mind you, you're doing us a favour.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21More business for me and Tyler here, eh?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23THEY CLUCK
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Oh, Fats, take no notice. Oi, come on! Let's get back to work.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Oh! Hello, ladies. Hello, Pops.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Hi. This place looks amazing!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I love Christmas lights.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Wait till you see them turned on.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38This place is going to be buzzing! Listen, you're all coming, yeah?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Try and stop me.- All right!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Um, I dunno, Fats. I'll try, yeah? But I can't make any promises.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45We're back-to-back today
0:03:45 > 0:03:48and, you know, Bianca's meeting her probation worker this morning, so...
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Ah, well, OK. No worries, you know. It's no biggie or anything.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Sorry. I'd best make a move.- OK.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- I'll see you later.- OK!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01I thought you were supposed to be at work today, you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02No, I'm shopping.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Right, my little sugar cube. I've got a surprise planned for you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Oh, yeah?- Tomorrow, as soon as I shut up shop,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10we're hitting the West End.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I can't tomorrow, babe, I've got after school club.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- What?!- Sorry.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Whit, sweetheart! Listen, what time are you sending Liam and Morgan over?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You know, carol singing? Liven up the market a bit?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Umm...yeah. As soon as they get back from school.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Hey, that's my girl. Well done.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Knock 'em dead today, all right?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Whitney, you haven't got a mo, have you?- Yeah.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Yeah? Just...
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh, Alfie!
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Now, THAT is Christmas!
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Yeah, I know, I know. I call it my... What is it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52"Piece de resistance", or whatever the German equivalent is.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Listen, Fats, it cost an arm and leg, but I think it'll be worth it
0:04:55 > 0:04:57to see the little faces when it lights up.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Listen. I'm guessing this girl is...Poppy, yeah?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07How did you know?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10What do you mean, how did I know? You're all over her like a rash...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You know, buying her that snow globe... I know how much that cost.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15..inviting her to the lights...
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- So, what, do you think it's lame? - No. Stop right now.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Fats, I promise you, I don't think it's lame, all right?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It's just that... I dunno, Alfie, man...
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I'm not that lucky long-term with the gallies and that,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- you know what I mean? - OK, let me stop you right there.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Couple of things wrong with this conversation. What did you just call her?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Gallies.- You can't call her...
0:05:33 > 0:05:37You ain't going to get nowhere like that. Gallies? What's that?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- So, do you think she likes me, then? - Poppy?- Yeah.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Come on. What's there not to like? Look at that beautiful cherub face!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Hold on, hold on, he's punching way above his weight.- Oh, Ian, stop!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm just kidding. You want my pearls of wisdom, OK?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Being yourself with the ladies gets you nowhere.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Obviously isn't the right one then, is she?
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Listen, Fats, for what it's worth, my piece of advice...
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Never try and work out a woman.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Seriously. You'll just end up confusing yourself.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10You treat her like she's the centre of your universe...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14..and I promise you, you can't go wrong.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah, I see.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I get ya.- Yeah?- Well, yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23It's... It's like this place, isn't it? It's not just for us...
0:06:23 > 0:06:24This is for Kat.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29You... You, Alfie Moon, you're a diamond geezer.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31And she is one special lady.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43So, what time's this party, then?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Well, I'd hardly call it a party, Derek. It's just...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Mum. Where do you want this?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Good morning, Lauren.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- Morning, Abs.- Hello.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Oh no, this don't look like a party at all.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Look, I've just invited a few of Oscar's school friends, that's all.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Yeah, and Jack and Sharon...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Yeah, well, Sharon's Denny's mum, isn't she?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I'm not being funny, Derek, but I haven't even invited my own mum,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13so it's not going to look very good you turning up, is it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I'm off. See you later. - Bye-bye, darling.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18See ya!
0:07:18 > 0:07:21You can really tell why she's the apple of Max's eye, can't you?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I mean, she's studious, clever, sensible...
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Any chance of you going back to college, Lauren?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28She might do. Maybe. Next year.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You know who's really surprised me? That Lucy Beale.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37What a smart kid, that is, eh? Running her own business.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41What my Joey was thinking of when he got rid of her, I don't know.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44BALLOON DEFLATES LOUDLY
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Did I say something wrong?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Here, let me give you a hand with that.- No, I'm fine.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Maybe I should go and have a word with her. - Will you just leave my kids alone?!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58I mean, I'm just saying, she's just...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00She's a bit vulnerable at the moment, that's all.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- What time's Max back?- Why? - I want to talk to him.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- What about?- Never you mind.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Just tell him I called, eh?
0:08:13 > 0:08:18CAROUSEL PLAYS "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Right, take me down.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Looks great.- Well, I worked hard for this, Michael.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35So, what was all that about?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Nothing. Just admiring your work, obviously.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, obviously!
0:08:40 > 0:08:41He's bringing Scarlett to the lights
0:08:41 > 0:08:44so I said we'd meet him for a drink beforehand.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45What do you that for?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Listen, you know how busy I am, all right?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49All right, I'll meet him, then.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Come on, chop, chop! You only got a few hours.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56All right, take me up.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can, Phil.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04No. No, I won't be late.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07OK.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Oh, keep it going mate, that's it, a bit more. Couple more feet to go.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14That's it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Keep going, keep going...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18That'll do you. Lovely. Sweet.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Check out my boss! He doesn't do things by half, you know?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Careful, darling. Don't want you spending Christmas in hospital!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Right, everybody, if I may have your attention, please?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Thank you.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44This...is the crowning glory.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Yeah, yeah, all right. Come on, we ain't got all day!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm quite admiring the view from down here!
0:09:49 > 0:09:52GASPS
0:10:11 > 0:10:13What, you lost something?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yeah, Denny's homework.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Can't find it anywhere.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22So what's the urgency?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Well, he needs it for tomorrow.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26We're going to Tanya's tonight, then I'll be at Phil's.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- I haven't got time.- Sharon?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- What's wrong?- Nothing.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- You're looking for the pills, aren't you?- Don't be ridiculous!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'll get the lunch ready, then, shall I?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51OK, listen.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53I just need the one, that's all.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Please, Jack.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59It's just for today. I just need something to calm my nerves.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I mean, what good am I going to be to Lola like this, eh?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- You'll be fine.- Please.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- I binned them.- You're lying.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Look, they're my pills and I want them.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Being in a relationship's about supporting one another, but you?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You just stand there and judge me.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Well, I got you wrong.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I thought you understood me.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Well, I walked out of one controlling relationship,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25and believe you me, I ain't about to walk into another.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It's not about control, Sharon.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30All right? It's cos I care for you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32And I thought you were stronger than that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34But it's your choice, yeah?
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Alfie, come on, it's only a star.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It's not just a star, Kat! It's more important than that!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- It's on all the posters! - We'll get another one.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- I'll get Nan to call Fat Elvis, yeah?- It won't be the same.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02It doesn't matter. The market looks stunning.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04No-one's going to notice a missing star now.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Well, they're not going to notice anything then, are they?- Stop this.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I can't do it any more. I'm not...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Get out there and sort the lights out.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15No! OK? I'm not interested. Let someone else deal with it.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I don't want to do it no more. I'm done with the lights.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21All right. Forget the lights. Forget everything.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Go and have a sleep.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Go and have a sleep.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Um, hi, Max, it's me...
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I was hoping you'd be home by now, so...
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Look, can you just try and get here please
0:13:08 > 0:13:10before Oscar gets home from school?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I want us to surprise him together, and...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15So don't...go...
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Just come straight home, OK? Bye.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54HE SIGHS
0:14:20 > 0:14:22You all right?
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Look at him, he can't help himself.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Eh?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27All that rubbish about loving someone else.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Do you think it's her?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I doubt it. She's not really his type.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38What type? He probably has a different girl every night.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Like I care.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46You should just forget about him.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I think we should go out tonight!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51We went out last week. I can't afford another night out.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Oh, come on, Lucy. It's the Christmas lights.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56There's going to be loads of free mulled wine. Come on!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Whitney's going to be there as well. Please? Please?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Go on, then.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Lauren, will you say happy birthday to Oscar for me, yeah?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07You remembered, then?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Are you...Are you going to the Christmas lights tonight?- Lauren.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I dunno.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well, we're going to be there...
0:15:29 > 0:15:31So what's wrong with the last one you gave me?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Nothing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Just thought I'd give you an early Christmas present, that's all.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39So I don't get rid of my old one sharpish then? Is that right?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Well, now you come to mention it, it wouldn't hurt.- Yeah, all right.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Ooh, easy!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I'm guessing these ain't paracetamol.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- All right? Where you been, then? - I had an appointment.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05OK. First I've heard.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, well...

0:25:42 > 0:25:46I've spent half my marriage trying to work that woman out.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50She knows me inside out, yet I've got no idea what goes on inside that head of hers.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51What are you going on about?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53She said she's gone out to help Kim.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- So, she's probably helping Kim. - No, no, no! She's not. It's wrong...

0:26:15 > 0:26:19I'm telling you that my wife's having an affair AGAIN behind my back
0:26:19 > 0:26:21and the best you can come up with is, "Oh, Alfie, snap out of it"!
0:26:21 > 0:26:24She was destroyed at the thought of losing you.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Do you think she'd go back to him after all that's happened? Anyway...
0:26:27 > 0:26:30What? What did you just say? Go back to who? Go back to who?
