0:00:27 > 0:00:30Bobby, you haven't opened your calendar.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Oh, Ian, you used to love advent calendars, didn't you?
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Counting down to Christmas.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Bet you're excited.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Why don't you open it for me? You control everything else.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40That's not fair.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42What's not fair is being kicked out of my room!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Bobby, we've all got to make allowances now your
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- gran is living with us, OK? - Look, I don't want to be any bother.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Mum, you're not, OK?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Now, remember, Christmas tree light switch-on tonight.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It is a big night for the Beales. See you later, love.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57See you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Carmel...
0:01:06 > 0:01:08you haven't said anything, have you?
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Not yet.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I didn't get a wink of sleep, thinking about it.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14But you just have to forget...
0:01:14 > 0:01:19I can't. I'm sorry, Stacey, but I need to talk to Kush.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Please, Carmel, please, just don't do anything yet.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I have to. I'm sorry, Stacey.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Listen, I've got a great deal on mistletoe, if you're interested.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We don't need some stupid plant to kiss under, do we?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- Oh, maybe... - See! That's a fiver.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34- Morning.- You all right?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Morning. I'd better go catch the tube.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38She's doing some Christmas shopping, ain't you?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, he's embraced Ramadan, so...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43You go and buy me something nice... Something nice.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Can I have a word? - Yeah, I'm all ears.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- No, not here. Back at your flat, yeah?- All right.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58That's great, mate. Lovely, thanks.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Yeah, I'll send one of the lads round to pick it up.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Sober enough to work?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Why don't you go back to bed and have a little lie down?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07You look like you've been up half the night.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10You expect me to sleep after my husband tells me
0:02:10 > 0:02:12he's choosing booze over me?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- I never said that.- As good as.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16This is what you do, Sharon. You turn everything around!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I mean, last week you was giving me booze, now you're telling me
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- I'm hurting you.- You ARE hurting me!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23And you're killing yourself.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Do you know who you sound like? You sound like my mother.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Oh, right.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30And you'd tell her to get lost if she doesn't accept it?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I never meant it like that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35You know, I made vows. "For better or worse."
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Though it's not much better and a whole lot worse.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'm not gonna scream and shout and make ultimatums...
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I'm glad to hear it.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47But I'm worried, Phil. OK, I'm really scared.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53I don't know if I can trust you and I can't live with you lying to me.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I can handle a few drinks a day.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That's what every addict says.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Is there something on your mind?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12No...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Then why haven't you spoken in the last five minutes?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16The silence is freaking me out.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, I wasn't going to say anything,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21cos I know you're a private person.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26And seeing as you're dragging it out of me...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31..I spoke to your mum.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33She told me about your dad and Christmas.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Ahh.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Why didn't you tell me?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Like you said, I'm a private person. It's not...
0:03:43 > 0:03:45It's not something I like talking about.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Well, if I don't know, how am I supposed to help?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I'm your wife.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Yeah, you're right. I should have... I should have told you.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Well, you never said anything much about him.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11My dad...was the most important person in my life.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17He was the perfect man.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20He was my hero.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26So when he...
0:04:26 > 0:04:32When he died, a big part of me died with him.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40So whenever I see Christmas decorations...
0:04:40 > 0:04:41it hits me...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It hits me all over again, you know?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Listen, we don't have to do Christmas.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Yeah, right(!) I'd like to see you try.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56No, it doesn't matter.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Yeah, it does. I've got to try and move on...
0:05:03 > 0:05:07You and Pearl are all that matters now.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So...
0:05:10 > 0:05:15if I was to say that I'm going to make a Jamaican Christmas cake...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I would say...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20JAMAICAN ACCENT: ..lace it with plenty of rum.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Why didn't you tell me?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26About Stacey's baby?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29What about it?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31At least have the decency not to lie to me.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36I am your mum, you're meant to be able to tell me anything.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I thought... We thought...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50..the fewer people that knew, the better.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54You're a stupid idiot, you know that, don't you?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I never thought you'd end up like your father.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Wait, no, I didn't cheat on Shabnam.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00OK? We were on a break.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It was just a one-off, I swear.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04What are you looking at me like that for?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- You think I'm having an affair? - What else am I to think?!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So, go on.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It was a one-off.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Well that's it, there's no more to say, is there?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I only found out myself just before the wedding.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22What was I going to do?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm not going to throw away a future with the woman
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- I love over one stupid little mistake!- But it's a baby, Kush!
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yes, OK, I know, yes. Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Maybe...if Zaair hadn't died, I could have told Shabs, but...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46..how can I tell her now?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05SHE SIGHS
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Heard you up here.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Thank you.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's a good idea, converting the loft.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'm really pleased Ian's kept this place in the family.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23I think I'm going to be very happy up here.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Yeah, well, I wish Bobby was happy about it as well.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29He'll come round.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You'll make Lucy's room just as nice,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34he's probably holding out for a flatscreen TV
0:07:34 > 0:07:35or a new games console.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And you know if he wanted it you would buy it for him.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39You spoil him.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41No, I don't.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Oh, come on, Jane. You let him get away with all sorts.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48You shouldn't do that, you know. It's not good for him.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52And letting your child think you're dead for ten years is?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Kathy, I...
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I've told him I know.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You can't keep this a secret.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Stacey, you can't let Martin bring up another man's child
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- believing it's his.- Can't I?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What if the baby looks like Kush? Have you thought about that?
0:08:21 > 0:08:22So what are you saying?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That we just tell everyone?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I watch Martin walk out the door, and Shabs.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Do you honestly think she deserves any more pain?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33She is my best mate.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I don't want to hurt her any more than Kush does.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41One thing life's taught me - you do stupid things,
0:08:41 > 0:08:47you make mistakes, but you have to face the consequences.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52If not for Martin and Shabnam, then for the baby.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55This man...
0:08:55 > 0:08:59He is not going to be content seeing his son grow up across the Square.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00I will.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03You're deluding yourself. You both are!
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Look, I'm not blaming anyone. Really, I'm not...
0:09:08 > 0:09:11but you have got to open your eyes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16The truth will come out sooner or later and take my word for it,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20the sooner it comes out, the better.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The better chance you have of saving both of your relationships.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You've seen the state Shabnam's in about Jade.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30We've got to tell her.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40If anyone tells her, it is me or Kush.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49What's in there?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- It's old pies.- Give them here.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- They're four days old. - Do I look fussy?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Go on, then... rip the bag open and have a rummage.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Don't be put off by me watching.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10If only Stan could see you now.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22I never thought I'd say it, but I miss the old stall.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Well, it misses you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Hi.- Jane.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Martin, I don't suppose you've got any olive branches?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Cos I could do with buying one.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Coffee?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Yeah, why not?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48MUSIC: It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
0:10:48 > 0:10:51# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
0:10:51 > 0:10:54# Everywhere you go
0:10:54 > 0:10:56# Take a look in the five-and-ten... #
0:10:56 > 0:10:59What does that even mean? I never knew.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04OK, so, one for Vincent...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07..one for Dee...
0:11:07 > 0:11:08one for Patrick...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10one for me...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14One for Pearl, even though she doesn't drink.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18And then, you stir it around and you make a wish...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Cartier watch...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26diamond earrings...
0:11:27 > 0:11:29..convertible Bentley...
0:11:29 > 0:11:30DOORBELL RINGS
0:11:31 > 0:11:33VINCENT: I've got it...
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Thanks.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Someone's going to be really happy about this.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49It's for me, it's for me, it's for me. It's a present!
0:11:51 > 0:11:56I shouldn't have said what I said. When it comes to Bobby...
0:11:58 > 0:12:00..parenting, it pushes my buttons.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Yeah, well, I was the same with Ian.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08What has he told you about his gran? Lou?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Idolises her.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Yeah, he always did.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15She used to love playing Ian off against me...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I could never do anything right.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Jane, I don't want us to be like that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If I cross the line, you just shove me back behind it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29You know, you're right. I do spoil Bobby.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31I need to be stricter with him.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's only natural.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I should have been here for Ben.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Ian was a grown man but Ben needed me.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43I'll never get those years back,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47and no matter what happens between us, at the back of his mind
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm always going to be the mum who abandoned him.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Just give it time.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56That's all I've got, really, ain't it? Time.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Look...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03the reason I'm saying all this is I'm concerned for you,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05just as well as Ian...
0:13:07 > 0:13:08What?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Bearing in mind what Bobby did to Lucy,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15don't you think he might need some sort of professional help?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18No. He's a good boy. It's under control.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Look, why don't we go for a drink later, after the switch-on?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28I could ask some of the girls, if you fancy it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Yeah... Yeah, all right.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Oh, Ian, it looks fantastic.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54You're going to give Trafalgar Square a run for its money
0:13:54 > 0:13:57this year! I can't wait for the switch-on.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I've made some earrings out of a couple of baubles.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Bit of fun.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12"In association"? Aren't we paying for half?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Oh, erm,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19I guess they must have done it like that so they could fit it all in.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Yeah, yeah, yeah...
0:14:20 > 0:14:21What do you think?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I'll tell you what I think, you better get that re-printed,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26else I'll whack a tutu on you and stick you on top of that tree.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28How's that sound?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32You need to sort this out.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- MARTIN:- Yeah, go on, you have a look, pick out your favourite, yeah?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38If you two are putting your heads together over what to get me
0:14:38 > 0:14:41for Christmas, new wallet would be lovely, actually.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44And chuck a couple of crisp 50s in it as well, yeah?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You're right, it's going to kill me
0:14:51 > 0:14:54watching my best mate bringing up my kid.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57But I would rather put myself through any amount of pain
0:14:57 > 0:15:00than cause Shabs any more hurt.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05So I'm asking you, as your son, as the man you brought up...
0:15:07 > 0:15:08..drop it.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Mum, please...
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well, that's the cake soaking for a few weeks.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Great, cos I've got some errands to run, yeah? See you.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Erm, you OK with me putting up the decorations again?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Just don't go overboard.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Overboard? Me? Please!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Can I get another tree?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39What happened to the one that we had already?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Well, I chucked it out after I found out you were the Grinch.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Somebody must have taken it by now.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47You know, just a little tree, you know, nothing too big,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49just a little bit bigger than a twig.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52To put lots of presents under.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I didn't say anything about presents.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I'm playing!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Oh!- Thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02For what?
0:16:02 > 0:16:03For being in my life.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07You're the ray of sunshine I've been needing for a long time.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Well, that's OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11That's me, you know, the ray of sunshine in a bottle.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Just flip the lid and release me.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Release me!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18SHE PURRS
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I've still got it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25You've still got it? OK, mind your back. There you go.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- See you later.- See you later.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37It's time for Mummy to hunt the pressies!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Where is it?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Shabs. I thought you went Christmas shopping.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Doesn't look like you had much luck.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49I had a missed call from you, is everything all right?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Mum, I'd like to speak to Shabs alone.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Course... I'll wait back at the flat.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Do you want to go and grab a coffee?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Maybe have a little walk around the park or something?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I can't, I've got to work...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Yeah, but you took the time off to go Christmas shopping, didn't you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Got back quick.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah, I didn't go, I went to see the doctor.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13You went without me?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Yeah, I didn't want to worry you.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I'm sorry. What did they say?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22He said, erm, my periods not starting
0:17:22 > 0:17:26could be stress-related, hormonal...
0:17:26 > 0:17:29He didn't really seem too sure.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30They're going to do some tests.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It's never going to end, is it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Shabnam, it's OK. Hey, hey, it's OK.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Shabs...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55She's been to the doctor's, so she's worried...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Oh...
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well, did they say what's wrong?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I thought you said turkey and ham pie?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19No.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21YOU said turkey and ham pie,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I said people get fed up of turkey in December.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25So, it's venison stew.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Oi! Facilities are for customers only.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Having a wash, were you? Bit of a lick and a promise?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Come out the back, I'll hose you down.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It would be my pleasure, in fact.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Here, Cora...
0:18:46 > 0:18:48For old times' sake.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Why are you being so horrible to her?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You hold out the hand of friendship to her and she'll bite it off.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Is this still because of Grandad?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I can't believe you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I thought you would have honestly been the bigger person.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Look at her...she has got nothing.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Oh, yes, that does the job.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25You've got to stick out, because Ian Beale is going to try
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and hog the whole thing, you know that, don't you?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Now, remember what I taught you.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32If you can see the lens, the lens can see you,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and then it's eyes and...
0:19:34 > 0:19:35Teeth, yes, I know.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Good!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Smile!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41That's my girl!
0:19:42 > 0:19:45TELEVISION IS ON
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Hold on, I was watching that!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Ben, I've got something to say... about your dad's drinking.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59What drinking? He's given it up.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03You are kidding, right?
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Don't start, all right!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Now, I understand that nobody in this house wants me drinking,
0:20:07 > 0:20:08but not you or you
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- get to tell me what to do. - Yeah, that's fine...
0:20:11 > 0:20:13No, Ben, let me speak...
0:20:15 > 0:20:17So you really think you can control it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yeah.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Well, how about we meet you halfway?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27You're going to drink whatever our feelings are on the subject.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30All I ask is, you don't do it in secret...
0:20:30 > 0:20:31we can drink together.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Yeah, yeah, all right.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Come on, Sharon, you really think he's gonna stick to that?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He has to, it's the last resort.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You won't let me down, will you, Phil?
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Course I won't.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Oh, finally. You didn't get detention, did you?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Why would you think that?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Because you're late home. - I was talking to my mates.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I'm allowed to have mates, aren't I?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Bobby, don't talk to your mum like that, she was worried.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Get changed, your dad wants us to be on time for the switch-on.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Oh, and your clothes are in Lucy's old room.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09You've evicted me already?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11"Evicted"!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm not going to that stupid switch-on!
0:21:19 > 0:21:23You know what I'm thinking? Jewellery box...
0:21:24 > 0:21:26..with maybe a few little sparkles inside.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32It won't hurt if I take a little peek, will it?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Pearl, you are such a bad influence on your mother,
0:21:38 > 0:21:39do you know that?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Oh, my gosh, did you see how my nail just...?
0:21:53 > 0:21:58It's bad enough, my best friend being pregnant.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00I just have to get on with that one.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04But then it's like, every time I see a baby...
0:22:05 > 0:22:09..or a mother and child, I can't stop.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You'd think I'd be out of tears by now.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15I'm so sorry, love.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Last thing you need is more worry.
0:22:20 > 0:22:26Let's get you to see a specialist. Someone private, jump the queue.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Put your mind at rest.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29We can't afford that, Mum.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Well, you leave me to worry about that.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37Thank you. Do you mind if I just go and lie down?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Course not, you do whatever you want.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50I'm not going to tell her.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55You're right, she's been through enough.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02But you are going to be a father, whether you like it or not.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09There you go.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Bit of lipstick and hairspray and all the cracks get glossed over.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13What do you think?
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Aren't you a bit over...?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Well, you said we were going out afterwards.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Yeah, but just for a few drinks.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Well, it's the start of Christmas, ain't it?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25A few drinks, who knows where we'll end up?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Yeah. Yeah, you're right, I'll stick a pair of heels on.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30That's a great idea. I'll leave my lipstick and hairspray out for you,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32just in case you want to...
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Anyway, I better get going, in case Ian starts panicking,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38wonders where we are.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31# Hark! The herald angels sing
0:24:31 > 0:24:35# Glory to the newborn King
0:24:35 > 0:24:38# Peace on Earth and mercy mild... #
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It looks great, love!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42It looks fabulous, Ian.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45My Paul did a lovely job of your hair.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Pam Coker, I'm Paul's nan.- Oh.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52# Join the triumph of the skies
0:24:52 > 0:24:57# With angelic host proclaim... #
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Try and pretend you're happy to be here.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04So, will I get a drink later if I'm a good boy?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10So, how do you like the new banner?
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Yeah, yeah, I reckon it should say, "Sponsored by the Vic
0:25:14 > 0:25:15"and the Beales."
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Nah, I'm only joking. It's beautiful, beautiful.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21So, where do you want my Linda?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Mum... - How do you mean?
0:25:23 > 0:25:24For the switch-on.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Erm, there's good.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29But she's doing the countdown. That's what you promised.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32You see, it's a little bit technical.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34That switch, you've got to get it in just the right place.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I've been practising for ages, I've got the knack.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38It's a button. She can press a button.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41No, you've got to get the switch at just the right point,
0:25:41 > 0:25:42otherwise what have you got?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45A disappointed crowd cos you've got no lights. Just leave it to me.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Mum, it's fine. I'd rather watch from here with Mick anyway.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Why are you all covered up?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Just leave it. - Honestly, look at him.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Give a man a clipboard, he turns into Genghis Khan.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Where's Jane? She's cutting it fine.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59She'll be here in a second.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06I know what you think of me.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11You've got yourself into a right mess, the pair of you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15But you're right, it's not my job to tell anyone.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Thank you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20But I can't forget I know...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23that's my grandchild you're carrying,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and I'm not going to walk away from that baby.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And Kush won't be able to either...
0:26:30 > 0:26:31..even if he tries.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34# Christ is born in Bethlehem
0:26:34 > 0:26:38# Hark! The herald angels sing... #
0:26:44 > 0:26:46What are you doing back?
0:26:48 > 0:26:49What's in the bag?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Your dad is right, you will do as you're told!
0:27:00 > 0:27:01I'm not a kid any more!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Give that to me!
0:27:03 > 0:27:05We are running so late.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I've a hot buffet getting cold.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Give it to me!
0:27:14 > 0:27:15- Leave me alone!- Bobby!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Without further ado, let's get this countdown started.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- THEY CHEER - Ten...
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Have it, then!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- ALL:- ..five, four...
0:27:30 > 0:27:33three, two...
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- one! - CHEERING
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Happy Christmas, everyone, from the Vic!
0:27:41 > 0:27:42I must have the knack.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53# Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
0:27:53 > 0:27:58# We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year
0:27:58 > 0:28:01# Now bring us some figgy pudding
0:28:01 > 0:28:03# Now bring us some figgy pudding
0:28:08 > 0:28:14# Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
0:28:14 > 0:28:19# We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year... #
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Do you know, I am so proud of you.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Shame my wife doesn't feel the same.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Mum?
