0:00:25 > 0:00:28Right, I could do without this stag do tonight, if I'm being honest.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Oh, it's not like you've never had one before, is it?
0:00:30 > 0:00:36Right kiddies, who's ready for the best Nativity Walford has ever seen?
0:00:36 > 0:00:37What's that?
0:00:37 > 0:00:38That is the rest of your costume.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40It's a towel.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43No, silly, this is Mary's very important hat
0:00:43 > 0:00:48so that she doesn't get sun stroke when she's walking to Bethlehem.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52See! Hold on, we've got the finishing touch here.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It goes like that. Ta-da!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Done! Do you like it?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Yay! Look happier, look happier!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Lil, if you don't stop moving,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06you're going to get a pin in your leg.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09You all right?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15What if I forget my words again?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Well, you won't. You remembered them in the end last year, didn't you?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Do you know what I do when I'm nervous, Lily?
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I close my eyes and I take a deep breath.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You'll be great.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I wish Martin would come.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Me too.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm going to ask Derek
0:01:37 > 0:01:39if I can bring his crutches home to practise on.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41You just want them so people will give you a seat on the bus.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Thanks for breakfast.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46That's all right. Don't get used to it.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Not now the social will be on our back.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Dad won't let them chuck you out.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53We'll see, aye. Go on, you'll miss your bus.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And eat quicker will ya? Cos you'll be late and all.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01See you at rehearsals later. I'm already word perfect.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08# Jingle bells, jingle bells
0:02:08 > 0:02:10# Jingle bell rock... #
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Look, Ian, I know Luke's off sick, but I'd just really appreciate it
0:02:15 > 0:02:16if you would let me go to this Nativity.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17I'll be two hours, tops.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20One person can't cope on their own when we're this busy
0:02:20 > 0:02:21and I can't lift nothing - not with my back.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yeah, look, I know, it's just, Stacey... And this time of year...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- It's just that we...- Martin. I've already given you time off
0:02:27 > 0:02:28once this week for Sharon, all right?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I can't do it again.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Gotcha! Buzzing for tonight?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yeah, well, I need something to get me in the Christmas spirit, don't I?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Yeah?- Well, these ain't exactly doing it are they?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41And Scrooge over there ain't helping either.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Is he moaning about them decorations again?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I'm not the only one who thinks they're a joke.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Yeah, but you're the only one who keeps going on about them.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Every time you mention them tonight,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- I'll make you do a shot.- Yes!
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Right.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I swear on Rudolph's nose, I will bring Christmas cheer to us all.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I've got the songs sorted, I've got the costumes sorted,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00I've got the drinking games sorted.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02We'll have a whip. A pony each, what do you reckon?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Yes, I'm up for that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Yeah. Sounds great.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Well, I'll see you for the stag of the year, eh?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Gotcha!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I bet you're looking forward to seeing Lily.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21These are the moments you remember, aren't they? That make you proud.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Stacey?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29This time last year, when I was in that church,
0:03:29 > 0:03:30I wasn't well.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36It's scary, going somewhere with such bad memories.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39But the church didn't make you ill.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44No, I know, I know. I'm just being stupid.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49No, no, you're not. And you shouldn't have to face it alone.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Did you make that?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You obviously don't know my sister very well.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I did, actually. With Amy.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Given your knack for this Blue Peter stuff,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02we should promote you next year to set dresser.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Oh, please. I'd eat him alive.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- You're early.- Yes, I wanted to tell you both in person...
0:04:09 > 0:04:13We have had an asking price offer accepted on the house.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- That's amazing.- Yep.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17And I got an e-mail from the local authority in Ongar -
0:04:17 > 0:04:20the kids both got in to our first choice school.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- This is really happening, isn't it? - It is.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Ah, Mr Branning, could I borrow you for a minute?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28The stable's been put in the wrong place
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and it's all hands on deck to move it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Remind me again why I let Roxy have the day off?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Because beneath that sour exterior of yours, lies a heart of gold.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Everything all right?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Me and Jane are covering the stall today.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- You...?- Stacey needs Martin today.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57This time last year she was in that church during her psychosis.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59She's scared of going back alone, Ian.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Martin. You'd better get a move on,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10otherwise you're going to miss the start of the Nativity play.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Go on, give us the belt.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm not paying him for the hours he misses though.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Oh, Abi. Are you getting ready for the Christingle service?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27I've got some extra bits and pieces, oranges and that,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30to make more if we run out for the children.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Oh, Grandma, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And now I promised I'd work an extra shift.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Oh, right, you're always working.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Will you be OK without me?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well, of course I will.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- OK, I'll see you later.- Right.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58CHOIR SINGS
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Martin!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12All right? Come here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Mary and Joseph knocked on the door of two different inns...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45..but there was no room at either.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Then they reached a third one.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We need somewhere to stay for the night.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I'm tired and pregnant. Can you help?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57SHE INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY
0:06:59 > 0:07:01All my rooms are full,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03but I do have a stable.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05There's animals in it,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08but it's warm and has plenty of hay to lie on.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13So, Mary and Joseph made their beds in a stable.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And that night, Jesus was born.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34News of the birth soon spread far and wide.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Mr Ackroyd.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39With Angels telling the shepherds of their saviour.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Mr Ackroyd. The donkey's done a poo and it smells!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Shh, shh. Ignore it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51And three wise men followed a star to Bethlehem,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54to give gifts to the new king.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I've brought you gold.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02I've brought you frankin...frankin...
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- I've brought you myrrh. - ..frankincense!
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- BOTH:- Wha-hey!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14PIANO PLAYS
0:08:15 > 0:08:19# Away in a manger
0:08:19 > 0:08:22# No crib for a bed
0:08:22 > 0:08:26# The little Lord Jesus
0:08:26 > 0:08:30# Lay down His sweet head
0:08:30 > 0:08:35# The stars in the bright sky
0:08:35 > 0:08:38# Look down where He lay
0:08:38 > 0:08:41# The little Lord Jesus
0:08:41 > 0:08:45# Asleep on the hay. #
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Where's Dot?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53# The cattle are lowing
0:08:53 > 0:08:57# The baby awakes
0:08:57 > 0:09:00# But little Lord Jesus
0:09:00 > 0:09:04# No crying He makes
0:09:04 > 0:09:08# I love Thee, Lord Jesus
0:09:08 > 0:09:12# Look down from the sky

0:09:56 > 0:10:00CHEERING
0:10:03 > 0:10:05How much longer is Lauren going to be?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I need more Christmas trees out there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11You all right?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I'm not sure about you being on the stall, Jane,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16you're stealing my USP here.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Don't worry, it won't be a regular thing.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You know I'm only joking. It's good to see you out here.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Thanks.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24But there's something about being on the stall
0:10:24 > 0:10:26that makes Ian more annoying than usual.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Well, looks like you and Lauren aren't needed anyway.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Ian Albert Beale! Put that tree down and explain yourself.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39It's a miracle - a Christmas miracle!
0:10:41 > 0:10:42All right. Me back's been feeling
0:10:42 > 0:10:43all right for the last couple of days.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I just didn't say anything.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You've had people running ragged after you!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Yeah, I know, and it's been really nice...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You've been pretending you're still hurt for attention?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Thank you so much for your help. We really appreciate it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Here they are, our little superheroes.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Hey!- Hey!- Well done! - Did you see us? Did you like it?
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Yes, we did.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11It was so amazing, we actually got you a present each, look.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Yes, look. That one's for you. And that one's for you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Ah, wow, thanks!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Wow, it's the exact one I wanted.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And you, Amy, you're doubly lucky, I got you a present as well.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yeah! We can do each other's make up now!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I was particularly pleased to see you made it along, Stacey.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Aw.- I was expecting to see Mrs Branning as well.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Yeah, me too.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Jack, you seen Dot today? She was supposed to be here.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44No, no, I haven't.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Can we go and see her?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I want to give her my Christingle.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- What a lovely idea. - Yeah, course you can.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Can I come?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I thought we were going out for cake.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57I want to go with Ricky and Auntie Ronnie. Please!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59All right, then. We can go somewhere tomorrow, yeah?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02We're doing decorations tomorrow.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Well, as long as daddy's not too hungover from his stag!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Which he won't be. So, yeah, Sunday. Whenever.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Would you like to have a photo with the family for the paper?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Sounds like a good idea. - Yeah. Roxy, you coming?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14No, you don't need me.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I'll just...I'll watch the coats and stuff.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Come on, sweetie.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Oh, hiya. I forgot my phone.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37You're back early.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Yes. Yes, I am.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42You didn't go to the service, did you?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48No. I hope Stacey didn't go.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You know what happened to her last year.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Very good.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00But, what I'm not getting yet is quite how important you two
0:13:00 > 0:13:02are to each other.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07So, after "I wanted to spend some time with you alone, Ebenezer."
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Jay, if you could take Louise's hand...lovingly, yeah.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13can we give that a try?
0:13:14 > 0:13:20Yeah. "I wanted to spend some time alone with you Ebenezer."
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Yeah, well, we need to feel this.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36You know, we've got to make the audience believe
0:13:36 > 0:13:39that you are in love.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Why don't we pop a kiss in there? - What?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- I'm not suggesting a full-on smooch...- No.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47It's just acting.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I don't care, I'm not doing it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54I remember when I had to do my first stage kiss. Oh, 1966, Southend.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It can be a bit embarrassing to start.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58You don't understand, do you? We're not kissing.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- So, if you don't like it, then I quit.- Jay.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Well, if he's quitting, then so am I.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05OK, look, it's OK. Jay, I get why you don't want to do it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- And it's fine.- Yeah, but... - Acting's not for everyone.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Instead of quitting, why don't we just try and find you
0:14:12 > 0:14:15another role, so you're still involved, yeah?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19We can't recast such a pivotal role so close to production, can we?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- OK, don't worry. - I'll sort it, OK?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26(I get why you don't want to do this.)
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I wanted to give you my Christingle.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Oh, how lovely, thank you, Ricky.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34You missed today, Mrs Branning.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Oh, yes, I'm terribly sorry, but something came up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Now, why don't we all go to the kitchen,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41have a nice hot cup of chocolate?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Hm.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Ronnie?- Yeah.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- She's lying, she didn't want to go out on your own.- Why not?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Well, think she thought these injections would work quicker.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well, I'll have a word with Jack and see if we can help.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Yeah.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Yeah, and then Jay just quit.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Well, I don't blame him.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Can you imagine how angry Phil would have been if they had kissed?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oh, those colours take me back.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I used to love a little bit of blue eyeshadow back in the day.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Of course, I know better now, of course.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Are you...what? You going to an '80s night or something?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I got it for Amy.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Obviously blue's not her colour any more either.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Doesn't matter what we do, does it?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27We never seem to get it right.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Right, missus, you've got to take that off in a minute.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Today made me so proud.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Oh, I know, she did so well, didn't she?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40She did, but I'm talking about you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42What you did today was really brave.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I was only brave cos you were with me.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, that's handy, cos you're stuck with me, aren't you?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49And I'm going to make sure that we
0:15:49 > 0:15:51get the Christmas we deserve this year.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Right, I'm going to get ready for this stag do.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And you, young lady, have got to get in your PJs.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- So, I will race you upstairs. - Go on, quick.- Get up those stairs!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Get up those stairs! - STACEY LAUGHS
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Worst-case scenario, you could always read the part in.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Mr Harkinson?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19If it isn't our very own Tiny Tim. Everything all right?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Yeah, I'm here to play young Scrooge.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Did Denise send you?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25No, but I already know all the lines.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28And I don't mind kissing Louise if I have to.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Crisis averted.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34When Denise told me about the casting dilemma,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I knew exactly who could do it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38My Shaki.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Mind if I sit down?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57No, of course not.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00HE SIGHS
0:17:02 > 0:17:05I'm just on my way home from Mrs Branning's.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09She stuffed me full of hot chocolate and cake.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Hazards of the job.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15I bet Amy enjoyed being spoilt.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- We all did.- They were telling me about the big move.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Yeah, it's great innit?
0:17:27 > 0:17:33"True love is selfless. It's prepared to sacrifice."
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Is that from the Bible?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38A fridge magnet.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44Sometimes, doing the best for someone else
0:17:44 > 0:17:45means hurting oneself.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49It's only a strong person who can do that.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Here we go. Yeah.- All the way. Come on.
0:17:58 > 0:18:03Listen, listen, listen, listen. Right, next song, next song is...
0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Last Christmas.- Yeah!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07# Last Christmas, I gave you my heart... #
0:18:07 > 0:18:09You!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11# But the very next day you gave it away
0:18:11 > 0:18:15# This year, to save me from tears... #
0:18:15 > 0:18:17This is ridiculous.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Oh, come on, mate. We don't need any more grinches.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23The council have got that covered with all the Christmas lights...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27That is a banned phrase! Down it, down it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'll take it, I'll take it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Good, good, good, good! - I mean, come on, surely we can be
0:18:32 > 0:18:34a little bit more sophisticated than this?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- I don't think so.- Do you know what? - You are starting to wind me up now.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40So, the next time misog here, has a moan-up tonight,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42he's got to take off an item of clothing.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Yes! Love it! - Go on, go on, then.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Ready?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50There you go. Whey.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's your stag do.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Johnny, go and sort your brother please,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57he's fannying about upstairs. I don't know what he's going.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58It's meant to be a pub crawl.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Oi, Jack, look at this.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Whatever you want - it's on Ian.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Oh, we'll have a bottle of champagne then!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Hit him where it really hurts, in the pocket.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Where is he?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Hiding out at home.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yeah, well, this will teach him not to lie, won't it?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Right, bottle of champagne, please.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- It's your stag do!- Yes, I know.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Hold up, hold up a minute, hold up, hold up.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Do you know what, enough of this stag bantz.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- That was a moan! - It definitely was, Jack!
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Get it off!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- THEY CHANT:- Get it off! Get it off!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42All right, it's coming off.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Listen, get your readies out for the whip,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48put your plastic smile on, yeah?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And let's get involved. All right? Give us that...
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Give us them here. Shrimpy. Cop for that.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Oh, where yous off to all dressed up like that?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00We're going to this council do, ain't we?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02You know, for local businesses and that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Not really looking forward to it. - Council?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Here he goes. Here he goes with the council.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09No, no, no, you can tell them from me...these shambles, mate,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11these Christmas decorations are a shambles.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13They don't get out often, babe. What was you saying?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Sorry. Oh. Just that I'm not really looking forward to it, to be honest.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17Especially after yesterday.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Yeah, my Linda, she's still a bit nervous after the robbery.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22But you know what? We do not let them scumbags win.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26You know what you want to do? Go out and enjoy yourselves.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Well, we will try.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Have a good night, boys.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- See you later, mate. - Mind how you go, see you later.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You take your own advice, yeah?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Whaaa! ALL:- Yeah! - DRUNKEN SHOUTING
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Ron!- Yeah?
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Hi. I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
0:20:59 > 0:21:03No, no, I'm just finishing wrapping some presents while it's quiet,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06you know Amy's got a radar for these things.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Rox, is something wrong?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I don't want you to just take Amy to Ongar.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24I want you to adopt her.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Lee, you all right?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Yeah. I'm just not really in the mood.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I promised Mum that I'd spend some time with Ollie tomorrow.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Don't want to have a hangover.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57You know what? I'm not really feeling it either.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01When Dad started doing the running man I think it was curtains for me.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Want to get some food?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I don't get where you're coming from with this.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Don't you remember what it felt like when Mum left us?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- I'm nothing like Mum.- Really?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Then why are you giving up like she did and walking away?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30This isn't me walking away.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Adoption is permanent, Roxy. You can't take it back.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37You think I don't know that?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Look, I know this is hard for you to understand.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45But there's this distance between me and Amy.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49And it's only going to get bigger when you move away.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50But it doesn't have to.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I know what it feels like to give up a daughter.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I never want you to go through that.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06You had no choice with Danielle. This is my choice.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09And I'm choosing to do the right thing.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Really? For who?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13For Amy.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16No matter what I do, yeah,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I can never give her what she needs.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Even though I want to, I can't, I just can't. But you...
0:23:23 > 0:23:27You can. The perfect house.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30The perfect family. The stability.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- You could, eventually. - No, come on, Ron.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Look at the people I've brought into her life. Michael, Carl, Dean.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I mean, I've put Amy at risk more than once.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42You would never ever do that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50Ron, I see you with the kids
0:23:50 > 0:23:55and I know that being a mum is what you were made for.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- Roxy...- No, listen to me.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Mum and Dad, they didn't teach us how to be good parents.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07But you've worked it out, you have.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I've done things wrong. Terribly wrong.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16Every mistake you ever made, you made for good reason
0:24:16 > 0:24:18and no-one can ever say that about me.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- Roxy, you can change.- No, I can't.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28I'll still be in Amy's life. I'll still be in your life.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Only this way, I can't mess it up any more.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38She adores you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Which is why I'm asking you to do this.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I don't want you to regret it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Do you think I'd be asking you if I wasn't 100% sure?
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Well, if that's what you want, I'll do it.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Thank you. Thank you.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- BELL RINGS - Time, ladies and gents, please!
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Oh, you're back early.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Little pit stop. I've had a mare in me strides.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Where's Lee?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26More to the point, where are your clothes?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Lee and Johnny bottled it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32They couldn't handle it with the old boys, that's what it is. Whey.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Here he is.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Good old Billy. Billy the Kid. Billy Goat's Gruff.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Billy...Piper.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47All had a nice drink, have we?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49How was your posh party?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Yeah, it was all right. They were a bit up themselves though.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Didn't like us taking selfies. Hey, Martin!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Look at that tree!
0:25:58 > 0:26:02They have given themselves a huge tree. And us, nothing!
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Not that again.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07No. Yes. Yes, that again.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I promised Stacey a good Christmas this year and they're ruining it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I'm sick of looking at your plums.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Santas! We're going to fix this.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19We're going to fix it...
0:26:28 > 0:26:30What?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35You can talk to me about Shaki, you know.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I don't know what you're talking about.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42So I imagined him sneaking out of here yesterday then, did I?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47You're lucky it was me that saw him and not your dad.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49BEX SIGHS
0:26:49 > 0:26:51STACEY SIGHS
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Tell me the truth, Vincent.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Is it sad that I'm drinking alone
0:26:57 > 0:26:59the last big Friday before Christmas?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07What's all that about? Dealing, probably.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Calm down, calm down.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Get him out, get him out.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I've left the gas on.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36I could lose my job.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42Get out. Quiet, all of ya. Shh.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Roxy! Get home safely, yeah?
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Right, ready?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Come on.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- ALL:- Whey!
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Now that is what you call Christmas spirit.
