0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Where are you going? - Just keep quiet.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Oh! All right... All right. - One more step, one more. - You're holding Pearl, right?
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Yeah. No, I left her upstairs. Turn round. Go backwards.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- OK, OK.- All right, now take off your blindfold.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Oh, the snowman!- That I should have let you put up weeks ago.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43- Oh!- Merry Christmas, baby!
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Merry Christmas.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Oh!- Give her to me. - Wow. What is it?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12ABI SCREAMS
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Denny!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hey, I need that cushion.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22What for?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- Baby Jesus.- Oh, yeah.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Hey, why don't we ask Shabs if she'll look after Lily?
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Just till the midwife's been.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33- No, she's staying here. - I'm sure she ain't going to mind.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- Well, I do.- Has something happened? - We had a stupid row.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- What about?- Martin, you should really be on the stall.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41You can't keep asking Kathy to cover.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46- I know, but I want to be here, don't I, for the midwife, so... - I'll call you. Go on, go.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51All right, make sure you do.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- See you in a bit.- Bye.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56There you go, Lucy.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Every condemned man deserves a last meal. Here.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05BELL TOLLS
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Morning, Mrs H.- Arthur. - You all right? Morning, Kimmy.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Hey, Fats, you all right? What are you doing here?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18We're hosting the Albert Christmas party, remember?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20It's still happening?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Of course it is. And you're DJing.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Are you serious? After everything that happened yesterday?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Look, it's Christmas, all right. We need to put grievances to one side.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Well, as long as the Mitchells ain't coming.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And there's me thinking it's the season of goodwill.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Are you serious? Phil kidnapped our daughter.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It was all just a big misunderstanding, weren't it, girl?
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Misunderstanding? No, it wasn't.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42So what - I'm just supposed to put on a smile
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and then just pretend that everything's OK?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50Kim, we have to do this, all right? We need to show face.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52And if anyone can pull this off, I know you can.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Mwah!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Fine. The Mitchells can come.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03But Phil ain't stepping one foot in this house - do you understand me?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Ain't going to happen. No-one hurts my girls.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- So what, are you telling me everything's blessed between you two?- It's over.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Now let's just focus on making this a Christmas to remember, yeah?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Yeah?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23So this bust-up with the girls. Is it anything serious?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Search me, mate.- I don't get it. One minute they're besties,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and the next minute they're at each other's throats.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30That's women for you, ain't it? You know what I mean?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33If I were you, I would just steer well clear of all that.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Hey.- Lovely, cheers.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I see Stacey hasn't turned up.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- She's got the midwife due this morning.- Oh.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45You seem very up-to-speed with her antenatal calendar.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Are you going to tell me what you two were fighting about then, or what?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm just sick of her being so sanctimonious all the time.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54She's carrying another man's child.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And we're just meant to smile and get on with it?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Merry Christmas!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Merry Christmas. Hey, hey - how was the big move?
0:04:01 > 0:04:02OK.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Listen, I hope you understand why I did what I did.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- I just thought you'd be happier living with your gran.- Whatever.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Hello, you all right? I'm Kush.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16I'm Shabnam's husband.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Can we go shopping now?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Buster!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Ah! My two favourite girls.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Give me a minute.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- What are you going to get grandad? - Something that stops him stinking of fish.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Bleach it is, then!
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Where did you get that?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It was when I went to see Santa.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44If you needed money, you should have asked.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48It was Father Christmas's wife! She put it in my goody bag.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Did she now?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Buster, keep an eye on her. I won't be a minute.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Come on, darling. Come on, you can help me.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Right, now then.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01It's important to annunciate every single word.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I think she's doing a great job.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07'Course she is. But there's always room for improvement. Go on, then.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10"Do not be afraid. For I bring you good news."
0:05:10 > 0:05:13What did I tell you? The girl's got star quality.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16There she is, my little angel!
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Ready to take the world by storm.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Let's not get carried away, eh? It's only the community centre.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Within spitting distance of the West End.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26You know, Elaine thinks we should enrol Janet into a stage school.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Does she? What about Janet, has she got any say in all this?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Of course she does. - Well, if you'll excuse me.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I've got a star of Bethlehem
0:05:33 > 0:05:35and a pot of glitter at home waiting for me.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37She's so looking forward to tomorrow.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39As well she should be.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42This could be the start of a blossoming career.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Right, then. Shall we get you home?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Oh, no - you ain't got to go yet, have you?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47But I want you to promise me
0:05:47 > 0:05:50that you're going to get a really good night's sleep, yeah?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Good girl.- See you later.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- See you later. See you, kids. - Cheerio.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56See you, Les.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00She's expecting a lot from that girl.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I know, Les. That's what I'm worried about.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Here's one for you, L. Look - it says here - geese mate for life.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Aw! Like you and me.- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15It's not going to work, Mick. You're cutting that bird's throat today.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Just when I thought you couldn't stoop any lower.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Merry Christmas, Shirley.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21What were you thinking, trying to bribe a little girl?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- I wouldn't call it a bribe. - What would you call it?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- A little present from her Auntie Linda.- What's all this?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It's nothing for you to worry about.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Haven't you got a delivery due?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Well, I think I'd rather stay and play referee.- Mick!
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Just play nice, yeah?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39What's this about?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I want us to spend Christmas Day as a family.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- What about Dean?- Well, he's got Roxy to look after him, ain't he?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I don't know.- Honestly, you and Mick are as stubborn as each other.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Do you realise how much aggro this is going to cause?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It'll all be worth it when you taste my goose with cider gravy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yeah, well - don't peel any extra spuds yet.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01She'll be here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08So you're opting for a home birth?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Yeah, I hate hospitals.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Well, you might want to run through your checklist,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14because it won't be long now.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Well, I might be late.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Judging by the position of the baby, I wouldn't be so sure.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- I thought you was going to call me. - I forgot.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Have you told her about the Braxton Hicks?- You don't need to make a fuss, Martin.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30We were just going through the checklist for home births.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh, right. Well, listen - don't worry. Everything's under control.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I've even downloaded some whale music.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- I'm sure that's going to make all the difference.- Yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Now we can just relax, can't we? Enjoy the next few weeks.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Do you want a cup of tea?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47Thank you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Will you stick the kettle on?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Have you thought about a name yet? - Yeah.- No.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Don't you think Arthur's got a lovely ring to it?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57No child of mine is going to be called Arthur.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Arthur Brian Fowler. That way both of our dads get a look in.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Well, he's a Branning, whatever we call him.- Since when?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Do you want a biscuit?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Yes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Give her the tin.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- So is Elaine putting Janet through her paces? - Yeah. She's a tyrant all right.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Denny wanted to try for Joseph but I put my foot down.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Why's that, then?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Well, kids can be cruel, can't they, Billy?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Bobby, where's your dad?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Sharon, it's all right. I'm keeping an eye on him.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm trying to find him a present.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I don't think that's his cup of tea, do you?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Hey, Sharon.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I took the liberty of borrowing some glasses for the party.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Yeah, take as many as you like.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, so I'm still seeing you later?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Well, I don't think it's a good idea after everything that's happened.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47We should put this in the past. Sharon, we're business partners.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49We owe it to our staff to put on a good spread.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Yeah, of course.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Um...
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Is Phil joining you?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58No, he's got stuff to do at home.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Shame.- I'll see you later.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Kathy? How's Jane doing?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, running herself ragged getting ready for Christmas.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- With a broken rib and all? - Well, you know Jane - she doesn't like to complain.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I can't believe she fell down those stairs.- It was an accident.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yeah, course it was.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Let's just be thankful it weren't a lot worse, huh?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Anyway, Bobby - why don't you come down the high street with me,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25and you can get your dad a present and we can pick out something for the Hubbards.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Gran?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Yeah, it's fine with me.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- See you later.- Bye.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36I'll see myself out.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Thank you. See you later.- Ta-ta.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Are you going to tell me what all that was about?- All what?
0:09:42 > 0:09:47You can't just decide something as serious as his surname, Stace. It is my baby, too.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49You put me on the spot. What was I supposed to say?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52You're only a Branning by marriage. You'd rather that than make him a Fowler?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Does it really matter? It's a poxy surname!- It matters to me!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57What if you don't stick around. What then?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- You're being serious, aren't you? - We both don't know what's round the corner, do we?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Do you know what...- Oh, Martin! - No, you're all right.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12SHE SIGHS
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Hey, can I have two teas and a coffee to take away, please?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21You know what, I am glad this whole beef with the Mitchells is over, man.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It ain't even started yet, believe me.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Hold tight, man. You said that... - He tried to snatch my little girl.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Pulled a gun in my wife's face.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Bruvva, listen, all right? Phil isn't someone you want to mess with.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Neither am I.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- And thanks to Sharon, I know EXACTLY where he's going to be later on. - But...- But nothing.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I've been good to you, Arthur.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Yeah, I know that.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50So how about you show me some loyalty in return, eh?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Thank you.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- That's £1.60, please.- Yeah, um...
0:11:00 > 0:11:01One second.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Right. That's as sharp as I'm going to get it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Two pie and mash when you get a sec. Double helping of liquor.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- What are you going to do with that? - It's either that or wring her neck.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13It seems so barbaric.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Well, a man's got to put food on the table.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Ain't that right, Babe?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Are you sure you can do this?
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Yeah, I'll probably just wring its neck.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It ain't like she don't know what's coming.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Double clever, that goose.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Well, don't dawdle.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33I need to make sure she's drained ready for Christmas.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Eurgh!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37# Jingle bells, jingle all the way... #
0:11:37 > 0:11:39DOORBELL
0:11:39 > 0:11:44That'll be Dee and Patrick. I asked them to come early.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48# Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... #
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Next time it ends with a funeral, you said.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Don't worry, it's all in hand.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Merry Christmas. - Make yourselves at home.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Sharon's at the shops so she said she'll um... well, she'll be here later.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I cannot believe you bought us here.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Um, no Phil?- He's busy.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Shame.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14THEY CHAT AND LAUGH
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Show face, remember?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# Jingle bells... #
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Martin, can I talk to you?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27If you like.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39I just wanted to say I'm sorry about before, about kicking off.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I've got a lot of stuff going on in my head.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Such as?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Come on. We both know it's nothing to do with the baby's surname.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56It's just all that stuff with my dad's other family.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00It just made me worried that one day you might get tired of all this.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Of course I won't. - And Shabs and the stall.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I dunno, everything's just getting on top of me, that's all.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Well, instead of pushing me away, let me help you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10We are supposed to be a team, remember.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14If we can't trust each other now,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- then we might as well throw the towel in.- I do trust you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Then prove it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Listen. Why don't you go home?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Stick your feet up.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- I'll cover your stall.- Are you sure?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Yeah. Go and listen to some whale music. Wrap Lily's presents.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Thank you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51OK?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Right, so you think they're going to like these?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- They're horrible. - Great. Kim'll love them, then.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Is it all right if I stay to wrap my presents?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Yeah, yeah, of course.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Denny! Bobby's here.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Someone's started early on the sherry, darling.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Just getting into the spirit of things.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Why don't you go and show Bobby your spider?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19And no misbehaving for Phil, while I'm out. You understand?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Why, where are you going?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24To Vincent's. The Albert Christmas party.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Good luck with that. - What choice do I have.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28You kidnapped their kid -
0:14:28 > 0:14:31someone's got to try and keep the peace, haven't they?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I see I'm not the only one starting early.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Ooh, I need this - believe me.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I'll tell you what. Give me ten minutes, I'll get changed, I'll come with you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You're joking, aren't you?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- I love a good Christmas knees-up. - You stay away from that family, do you hear me?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53GOOSE HONKS
0:14:53 > 0:14:55All right. It's just, um...
0:14:59 > 0:15:01..we gotta eat.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06And Babe's been banging on about roasting a goose for weeks, so...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I've never wrung anyone's neck before.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16I've wanted to, but didn't want do the bird for it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Get it?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23That was out of order, I'm sorry.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25GOOSE HONKS
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I bet you didn't have this planned, did you?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30When you was a little gosling, knocking about,
0:15:30 > 0:15:36ending up on my dining table with spuds hanging out your bottle.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40What are you looking at me like that for? It was going to happen, weren't it, sooner or later. No?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43What do you want me to do - I've got to do it!
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I'm the man of the house. I've got a reputation.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Do you know what, go on, go. Go on, go.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Go and hang out with your little duck mates.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Go to the pond.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Go and have a bang on a bit of bread,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04go and do whatever you've got to do, just go away.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Go on.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Go on.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Oi, oi, oi! Slow down - what's the matter with you? Slow down.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18I'm trying to help you and you're getting beaky round me? What's the matter with you?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Argh! Turn it in!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Should we go and help him?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24What, and miss out on all the fun?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Stop it! - GOOSE HONKS
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Is it me, or is this a really bad idea?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- So what, you reckon your brother's going to kick off? - It's Vincent we're talking about.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I'd put yourself in the brace position if I was you.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Sorry I'm late. - That's OK. Um, Babes!
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Kim, I just wanted to say on behalf of Phil, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's forgotten. Isn't it, Kim?
0:16:55 > 0:16:56I suppose.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Here you go, Pops.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Snowballs.- I must re-drink that concoction every Christmas.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's traditional, ain't it?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Ah, you see now, but what Pops needs is a good old-fashioned rum.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12And I've got just the bottle back at the Albert.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Yeah, man.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Er, Arthur - listen, do me a favour.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Keep the tunes going, yeah?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Oh, and Fatboy, how about something a bit more Christmassy?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Yeah! Yeah, you know what, give me two minutes, all right? Sorry, guys.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Vincent, don't do anything stupid, right?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Get back in there and do what I paid you to do, OK? - Don't do this, Bruvva.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Phil hurt my family. He's going to know what that feels like.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Still no sign of Mick? - It's going to take time, isn't it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Plucking all them feathers.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58What's happened to you?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01I'm up to my eyes in goats, sheep and donkeys.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- And what's happened to you? - Don't ask.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Well, where is she, then? - The little mug went for me.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- I don't believe this. - Hissing and flapping, she was.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I thought she was going to have my eyeballs out.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Does that mean to say you've had to let her go? - Well, I've had to, look at me.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- And I'll tell you what, they're vicious, them birds.- You're lying.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23No, he's telling the truth.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Lucky to get away in one piece.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27He was screaming.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Well, you say I was scream... I wasn't screaming.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I should've wrung Lucy's neck myself.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Looks like I'm off to find a turkey on Christmas Eve.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37I hate turkey.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Thank you. - Well, we couldn't let her think you're a big softie, can we?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- You want to stay for a drink? - No, Buster's waiting.- Oh.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Oh, Mick?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57You haven't got any extra seats on Christmas day here, have you?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'll have a chat with L. We'll sort something out.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Listen, I don't know what you and Stace have been rowing about,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15but can't you just put it behind you?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- No, it's not that simple. - Why isn't it? Come on, Shabs.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23She's having a really tough time of it at the minute. She could use a mate.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I don't know, I don't know.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27It's not like she's got any family around, is it?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29We're all she's got.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32What? Emotional blackmail, really? That's what you're doing.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Did it work?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I don't know. I just...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I feel like we're in each other's pockets all the time.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And everywhere I turn, there she is.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Just ready to offer me her pearls of wisdom.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Yeah, yeah - I get it, you know. It can get claustrophobic, can't it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51But it's cos she cares.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52We both do.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Come on. It's Christmas, ain't it?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It wouldn't be the same without you two.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- All right.- Yeah? - I'll think about it. - Brill, come here.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Sorry. Um, thank you, Shabs.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Yep.- See you soon.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Sweet potato's the same. Makes me very gassy.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Shirley, Shirley, will you have a word with your son?
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Why, what's he's done now?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18He just won't stop boring us with all his silly little cookbooks.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- What's that, then? - Christmas dinner. I'm cooking it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26No, you don't have to do that.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's Jade's first Christmas and I want to do things properly.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Are you going to help me choose a recipe or what?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Honestly. It's like I've woken up next to Ian Beale.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38My son. Budding Jamie Oliver.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Who'd have thought it?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Mick's asked us round there for dinner.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Dean's going to love that. - We won't tell him.- Come again?
0:20:46 > 0:20:51We'll go to Mick's, eat dinner, then come back here and eat again.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53That's a foolproof plan if ever I heard one.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Are you sure about this?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57He's my son.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So is Dean.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03So, are we on for Christmas?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah, but can we eat a bit late, though -
0:21:06 > 0:21:08cos I want to get rid of my hangover.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Whatever you want, Mum.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Dean? Make sure you pile your mum's plate up nice and high.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15You know how much she loves a turkey dinner.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Sure.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I hope you choke on it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30What do you want?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Well, Sharon was big enough to apologise on your behalf.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Was she now.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39So I thought it was only right that I did the same.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Is that it?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46A Scotch wouldn't go amiss.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You got company?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Bobby and Dennis. Been at it for hours.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01If your old man and my old man could see us now, eh?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Sharing a drink together.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Yeah, well, from what I heard, my old man wasn't one to hold a grudge.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13He didn't hold on to anything for too long.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17To making this a Christmas to remember.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19I'll drink to that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Oh, hello! What's all this?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate you, that's all.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Is there room for two more?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Maybe this is a bad idea.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50No, no, no. No, it's fine.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Me and Kush - we're going to go and get some drinks.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55You two just stay and chat.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Tell me, Phil. Have you been a good boy this year?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Me? Me, I'm always a good boy.
0:23:14 > 0:23:15What about you?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What've you asked Santa for?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Hmmm...hmm!
0:23:19 > 0:23:24See, all I want is for my family to be happy and healthy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29That's not too much to ask, is it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Don't sound unreasonable to me.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38Let's... Let's just hope that your wish comes true.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I plan to make sure of it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45DOOR OPENS
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I'm sorry.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53It's just that Kim, she needs you back at the house.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Pearl is spewing up everywhere.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Looks like me and you will have to continue this another time.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I'll hold you to that.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15What are you looking so sheepish about, eh?
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You're playing a very dangerous game. You know that?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23You know there are other ways of handing this than killing the man?
0:24:23 > 0:24:26See, I was raised the old-fashioned way. An eye for an eye.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31Now you - you need to make a decision as to what side you are on.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Because I would hate for you to be next on my list.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Come on, darling. You know what Elaine said.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Got to keep your strength up.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- I'm not hungry.- She's scared. - Well, what's she scared of?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48She's worried everyone'll laugh at her.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Why would you think that?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Because of the wise men.- Eh?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54They keep picking on her.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Is that right?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Hiya.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Right, Janet, I have got you some honey and lemons.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- It's what all the actors use. - Can I have a quick word with you outside, please?
0:25:06 > 0:25:11It'll have to be later, Billy. And we have to still rehearse our lines, don't we?
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Honey!
0:25:12 > 0:25:16This time tomorrow, my little girl is going to be a big star.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24DOOR CLOSES
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Hello, love. Did you have fun at Sharon's?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Dennis seems like a nice boy.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32I don't like him.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Talk about a rubbish party.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Everything all right?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Well, go on. Tell her.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- It wasn't me!- What's happened?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52It's Dennis' spider.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I told you to keep her in her cage.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57She's dead.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00And we ain't talking natural causes here.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Dennis!- I didn't do it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Then who did? Eh?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08It was Bobby.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16KNOCK ON DOOR
0:26:16 > 0:26:22KNOCK ON DOOR
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Fats?- If Vincent catches me...
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Why? What's happened?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I've just walked in and stopped him.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Stopped him from doing what?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Trying to kill Phil.- What?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36You've got to do something - otherwise Phil's a dead man.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Bobby. What did you do to Dennis' spider?
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- I didn't do anything.- Don't lie to me.- I'm telling the truth!
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Bobby, go upstairs, OK? Let me talk to Sharon.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Denny's beside himself.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- There must be some kind of explanation.- Oh, there is. Your grandson's evil.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- Oh, come on! You don't really think that. - No, he tore the legs off one by one.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I mean, do you think that's normal?
0:26:59 > 0:27:00He needs help, Kathy.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yes, I know he does.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Kathy.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Jane didn't fall down the stairs, Sharon.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15Bobby pushed her.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28So I see that Martin's been playing fairy godmother again.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33Yeah. He does talk some sense, I suppose.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Why. What did he say?
0:27:34 > 0:27:38That you care. That you're not trying to interfere in my life.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Well, it's true. I don't want to come between you and Kush.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Yeah, all right. Maybe I over-reacted a bit.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I dunno. I'm just not used to it, Stace.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- It's not like I've got many friends. - You've got me.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58All right, so what about you and Martin?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Kush said you had a row.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I'm just scared to let him get close. In case...
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- He leaves you?- Well, he has got every reason to, hasn't he?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08This is his son, Stace.
0:28:08 > 0:28:14All right, maybe not by blood but he's done loads for you and the baby.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Maybe it's time you put him first for once.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Is it safe to come in?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Yeah, we were just talking about baby names.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28I reckon I could get used to Arthur Brian Fowler.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Yeah? Well - I'm going to pop this baby.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Stace?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Oh, Martin - you might want to see to this one first.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Martin, he's coming!
