0:00:28 > 0:00:30Still there. Looks good, don't it?
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Like it belongs.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Except it don't.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36What you talking about? Everyone's loving it.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40We did the right thing, yeah? It was for the greater good.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42We was out of our nut.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Who does the right thing when they're battered?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Mick, you coming in?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hey Linda you... You like the tree don't you?
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Yeah. Of course!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I didn't think they'd listen but the council really came through.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Mick - grotto, now, please.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Yes, your Grace.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01She's desperate to get me back into that...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Santa outfit.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06For the greater good, Mick, for the greater good.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Council? I thought we agreed it was a back of a lorry job.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Yeah, erm... L's assuming it was her doing,
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- so I just I let her go with it. - Why didn't you tell me that, then?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- I thought you knew.- I told Mum Fat Elvis...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20She works for the council, what if she checks?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Do you know what, you two worry far too much.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Trust me, people round here don't care where it's come from,
0:01:25 > 0:01:26they're just glad that we've got one.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh, no!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30HE LAUGHS
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- What, what?- Morning. What?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Someone's famous.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Is that...? That's you. Is that you?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Oh, leave off. Yeah!- Least they got your good side, mate!
0:01:40 > 0:01:41THEY LAUGH
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Oh, no.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's like everyone's literally
0:01:44 > 0:01:46waiting for the phone to ring again...
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Hello?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Sorry.- Will you stop thinking about him, already?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Well, he's not on the stall. What if he's not at school either?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56It's been four days since...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59- You know...- I know.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03You know, he's just probably helping out his mum. She is all over him.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Or his phone could be broken. Or he could be...
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Dead? Look, his phone is fine, all right?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- He text me yesterday about practising our lines.- He text you?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It doesn't mean anything. He's just an idiot.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Don't talk about him like that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Well, you stop being a doormat and call him, then?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21He can't just use you like that and ignore you? Can he?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- No.- Right.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27So, try talking to him.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Tell him to man up or it's over. - Over? Really?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35You are a strong, independent woman, Rebecca Fowler.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So, please, act like one.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Is everything all right?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47It's just Ollie's assessment.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49They want to see him on January the 3rd.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50That's soon, ain't it?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Well, not really. I mean we knew it'd be around now.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I had hoped he'd be a bit further along in his development,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58but it is what it is, I guess...
0:03:00 > 0:03:04All babies develop differently, don't they?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- It doesn't mean that...- No, I know, I know.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10It's just it being this time of year.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I wanted us to have a nice Christmas, you know,
0:03:12 > 0:03:13without this hanging over us.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Oh, hello.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27You won't get no milk here.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Go on. Off you go. CAT MEOWS
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Shh! Shh!
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I thought I'd done cramming.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Denise has sent through another draft.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I mean, how many re-writes does Dickens need?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Johnny?- Yeah?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I want to do something for Christmas,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07but something special for everyone.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- What do you think?- Mmm....
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Could do lunch. Save us from Mum's Christmas pud.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, I've never done a Christmas lunch before.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Oh, no, no, no, I was joking. You don't have to.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20No, do you know what? That's perfect.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21After all that's gone on here,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24it'd be good to get out of the Vic for Christmas, wouldn't it?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yeah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Still have to clear it with Mum, though.- Ohh.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Who's ready to see Santa? - KIDS: Me!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35THEY CHEER
0:04:35 > 0:04:38What do you want for Christmas? Santa Claus, eh?!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Mince pie? I made them myself.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42No, thank you.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44You sure? You look like you need one.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Is the landlord around?- Landlady.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49What can I get you?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I'm here about the tree in the square.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Ah! You from the council? Come to check up on your tree?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56No. I'm looking for whoever stole it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm sorry, who are you?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I'm DC Cole.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I'm investigating the theft of a Christmas tree
0:05:04 > 0:05:06taken outside Walford Town Hall on Friday night.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ahhh.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Ahh. That's terrible.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15You can't trust anyone, these days.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19In particular, I'm looking for a man dressed as Santa Claus in connection with the theft.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Perhaps you'd know where I might find one?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Er... I'm sorry officer, I don't.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28SHE LAUGHS
0:05:28 > 0:05:30You see, our Santa never turned up.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33No, the agency sent me an elf instead.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- No Santa?- Well, believe me, I intend on complaining.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Again.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Well, thank you for your time.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Ho, ho, ho! Let's be having ya! Come here, then, kids.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46THEY CHEER
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I've got lots and lots of presents, but only for good children.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You been a good little girl?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Where's Mum?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Training at the council.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Oh, great.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03What you doing here anyway? Why aren't you at school?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I was going but then I got sick all of a sudden, so...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Don't kid a kidder, all right. I've been there, I've done that.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Why don't you want to go to school?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Did I say that, though?- Is it about Bex?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Yeah.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Look, I know... I know girls can be complicated
0:06:19 > 0:06:21but there's no point hiding.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Or trying to be something that you're not.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Why do you pretend to know everything?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29I know some, OK.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Right, well, know this, then.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I've already done it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Twice.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37And, look...she wants more.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43No girl's going to want you with that attitude. OK?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Where are you going? Where are you going? We're not finished.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I would rather be sick at school than listen to you.- Oh.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00My husband isn't, um...a professional Santa,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01and that's what I thought you meant.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Of course you did.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Because obstructing a police investigation is a criminal offence.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Exactly.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Yeah. I see what you're saying officer, you know,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14but nicking a bit of pine is hardly tree-son is it, eh?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15HE LAUGHS
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Eh? No.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Theft of a Christmas tree and its decorations,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21criminal damage to public property.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Plus a public order offence for distress to council members.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28What about our distress? It's Christmas round here too, you know.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Yeah.- And you are?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh. No-one, I'm just, eh...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36from the agency, aren't I?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40As you can see, there's a number of images of a Santa Claus
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- matching your description.- Just put me, eh...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Not real ones.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Er... Yeah, well, this is the problem.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You know, we all look the same, don't we?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I mean, it must be a nightmare for you, an absolute nightmare.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Honestly.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- Do you dance, Mr Carter?- Sorry?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57One of the six suspects was caught on camera
0:07:57 > 0:08:00immediately after the theft, celebrating.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Apparently doing the running man.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05That's random, ain't it?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Nah, you've got me there.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Have I?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Aww. Yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Perhaps you'd care to, eh...?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25What?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28What, you want me to do...? What, now?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31For elimination purposes only, of course, you now.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Bit embarrassing, ain't it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Haven't got much room, really. Er...
0:08:45 > 0:08:46LAUGHTER
0:08:46 > 0:08:50All right, all right, all right, thank you. I've seen enough.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'll tell you what.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54I won't log this conversation,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57but you should know we've had reports that you...
0:08:57 > 0:09:00that the suspects used a hearse to transport the tree.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01A hearse?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Afraid so. However...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07if that tree finds itself back outside the town hall by tonight
0:09:07 > 0:09:08then no further action will be taken.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Tonight?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I like to do my paperwork in the mornings.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Perhaps you'd be kind enough to spread the word?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Oh, don't worry, officer.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'll make sure the message gets through.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Mrs Carter. Mr Carter.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Merry Christmas, officer, Merry Christmas.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29HE CHUCKLES
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Chip?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Haven't seen much of you recently...?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Been busy. You know how it is.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Yeah, yeah me too.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Louise told me that you messaged her to meet up.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05To rehearse. I've got to for that part, haven't I?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08What a drag, right?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18We are OK, aren't we?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Why wouldn't we be?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I dunno.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25You just sort of, like, disappeared after we...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27We've both got lives?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31It's not like we have to be in each other's faces 24/7, is it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Yeah. Yeah, course not.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36We're lucky we're not like that.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Yeah.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41So, we're cool then?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Cool.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Look, Santa will be back in a minute, all right?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53We don't want to wait.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Mum, I've got to prep for rehearsals, I'm assistant director.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58You're the tea maker.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59I mean, look at... Look at those little faces,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02do you really want to be the one who turns them away?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Hadn't you better get a move on?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We were just having a chat about things.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13No, there's nothing to talk about, all right?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15You heard what he said. The tree goes back.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Sounds to me like he was pulling your leg.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19It's all right for you. It weren't your boat on the CCTV.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- You've had a touch.- Is it really that serious?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Johnny! Over here.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29What could your dad get for stealing that tree.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Mmm...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34If you plead guilty from the start?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Probably just a fine, nothing big. - Well...
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Johnny!- Oh!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42We could keep the tree till Christmas Day, then return it.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Oh, no, you don't.- No.- All right? He knows it was you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's only a matter of time before he comes back.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I am not having this family known for stealing Christmas!
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Linda, they meant well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54No, look, we don't need the hassle.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Right, after the year we've seen, the crime that's been going on...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I don't want us to be a part of that.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07All right. If we do this. We all do it.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09OK?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Got the right hump, she has.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Dot? It's me.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Oh, hello, Ronnie. I've just put the kettle on.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Would you like a cup of tea?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Eh... No thanks, I can't stay.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22There was just something I wanted to talk to you about.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Christmas?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Well, yeah.- Oh, how lovely.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Hopefully, it will make your Christmas more enjoyable.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Oh, I'm sure it will.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Abi mentioned to me that you're still having trouble
0:12:35 > 0:12:36- with your eyesight...- Yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- ..and the- AMD. Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I know you're having injections,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42but I've been researching online
0:12:42 > 0:12:44and there's a surgery that you can have.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Jack and I would be happy to pay for it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Money?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You're offering me money?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Well, it would be our pleasure.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Think of it as a Christmas gift.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57One last thing that we can do for you before we move to Ongar.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00That's very kind of you, Ronnie, but no, thank you.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I'd rather not.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Dot...
0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's pioneering surgery - it only takes 10 minutes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09They take two tiny lenses
0:13:09 > 0:13:12and insert them into your eyes...
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Yes, I read about that in the paper,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17a year or so ago.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22"Look not on the things which are seen,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26"but on the things which are not seen."
0:13:26 > 0:13:30That's in a letter from St Paul to the Corinthians.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Dot, is it really the time for all that?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Yes, Ronnie,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38it is exactly the time of year
0:13:38 > 0:13:41for "all that"?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Where is everyone?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Maybe word got around.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54But why are they dressed like that again?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58They want to look the same in case they get caught on CCTV again.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Yeah, but the police already know it's them.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Look, it's a boy thing,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04but, to be honest, if it helps gets that tree put back, then...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I don't know... I quite like Martin as a Santa.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Hold up, incoming.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Ow!- How could you be so stupid? - All right!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- You know.- Yes, I know!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's all anyone at the council can talk about.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19And it didn't take a genius to work out
0:14:19 > 0:14:21it's my idiot son.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- And you lot...- Yeah?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25We're taking it back, all right?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- You better.- Yes, all right.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Boys.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30Anyway, how's my one doing?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Yeah, perfect. I think I tired him out a bit.- Aww.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Look, Linda, I've been meaning to ask you something.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It's more of a suggestion, really,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- but feel free to say no if you hate it.- All right!
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, me and Lee were thinking
0:14:44 > 0:14:47we could do Christmas lunch this year at our flat.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What, for all of us?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Yeah. I mean, I know it'll be small...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I'd love that.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55But you can't afford to fill every Carter mouth,
0:14:55 > 0:14:56so we'll be chipping in.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Eh, no, that's OK, cos Lee's doing really well at work,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01and we'll take care of it. We want to.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02- Well, are you sure?- Yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04And I thought we'd stick to turkey this year,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06it's best to avoid goose after last time!
0:15:06 > 0:15:07SHE LAUGHS
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Well, I'll bring the pudding. You know, don't worry about that.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11No, no, no!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Linda, I don't want you to lift a finger, OK?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Anyway, I'll buy an arctic roll. Bianca had one every year.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Did she?- Yeah.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Oh, here he is. Here you are. Come here.- You all right, lads?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- What's that? One for the road?- Yeah, we're going to need it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Here's your Santa suit. We're all going to go as Santa so no-one gets noticed.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33We're going to meet Billy in ten minutes, round the corner.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Let's do this.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Horrible, horrible that was, horrible.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- See you later.- See you later.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Right.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- You were right, Stace.- Was I?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Yeah - they did mean well.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Their hearts were in the right place even if their brains weren't.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So, you want the tree to stay now?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58No, course not.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00But it is Christmas...
0:16:02 > 0:16:05CHILDREN LAUGH
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Amy used to love that seesaw thing, do you remember?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15So, this is where you've been hiding?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17All right?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- I thought we might have seen you over the weekend.- Yeah, I've been busy.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22So I heard. Donna's gunning for you.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Her bark's worse than her bite. I'll talk to her.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Um...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Have you seen the Gazette today?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32No, why?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I thought you might be upset because they named me as Amy's mum.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Roxy, I swear I didn't know.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43She looks lovely. You both do.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45It's a nice picture.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I'm going to pick Amy up from school, do you want to come?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Are you sure this is what you want?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Look, I know you think that adoption is the way forward...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Ron...- ..but look, it doesn't have to...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Ronnie.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It's what I want. For Amy.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- She's what matters. - Well, what about you?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09And what about us?
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I'm still here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Good, because you're not going to get rid of me that easily, you know.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Never. SHE LAUGHS
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Why don't we meet at the Vic later.
0:17:18 > 0:17:19I'll bring some magazines.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21We can pick out some hairdos with Amy,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24she'd love that. We both would.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Yeah, I'll be there, I'll be there. - Yeah?- Mmm.- Good.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30All right, I better go.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Hello, Ian.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10I don't want to ask.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Well, then, just say yes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- No.- We haven't even said anything yet?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I don't ask for much, OK?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23But these 10 minutes before the madness starts in there again.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24They're sacred to me, OK?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28So, whatever the question is, the answer is no.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30We're just after a few trees.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Well, go to the stall, see Luke - he'll sort you out.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34For free.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I know you've got loads in your yard.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38More than you can even sell.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41So, we wondered if you'd like to donate a couple?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You know, to the community.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45To replace the ones that your husband stole...?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yeah, well, they were doing it for everyone.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Although it was a stupid idea.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Mmm. And so's this.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Oh, Ian, come on!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I know your trees are a bit thin and on the sad side.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58You could probably get rid of them.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59And who told you that?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02I will have you know that my trees are the finest Norwegian pines,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and I will be having words with your husband.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08You're right, Ian. They are beautiful.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11We bought one for the Vic and everyone's been asking about it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16So...what if you didn't donate any trees
0:19:16 > 0:19:20and you put on a display in the gardens instead?
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I mean, that way everyone will see how lovely they are all decorated,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and you'd get more passing trade?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- A display?- Yeah, exactly.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33You know, just like a West End winter wonderland,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37only here in the square, and with your trees.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40What do you say?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44He-hee!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Hello?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Is anyone home?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Anyone?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03That's lovely, girls. Yeah, just dump it anywhere for now, all right?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Where do you want these, darling? - Oh, right over there, please, boys.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yeah. Ooh - that's a big one!
0:20:07 > 0:20:08SHE LAUGHS
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Lovely! Great.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Do you need anything else?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Um... Do you know what, I promised Ian a sign.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Is that something...- I am on it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Thank you. Thanks, Carmel.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- Hey!- Hello.- Do you want any help?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Yes! Yes! Decorations. Lots of them. Anything you've got.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- You spread the word for me.- Yeah!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Come on, then, kids, let's go. See you later. See you later.- Bye!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Well, won't a bit of tinsel do?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35It doesn't make a noise.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38All right, well you look upstairs in your drawer and I'll look down here.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41All right?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45You haven't seen Lil's little Christmas tree thingy, have you?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's driving me mad.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54How do you know you're...you're doing it right?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55What?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Sex. Like...
0:21:00 > 0:21:02When...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05When you're having it, how do you know you're doing it right?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Erm...
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Well, er....
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Well, it's a bit...
0:21:16 > 0:21:19hard to explain.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- You know...- You said I could talk to you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I did. And you can.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29There isn't really one...
0:21:31 > 0:21:34..right way of doing it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36As long as... Well, as long as you're both...happy.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38But that's the thing, though...
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I don't think he is.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45One minute he is all over me and then the next...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52..I don't even know if we're together any more.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I must be doing something wrong.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I think he's just gone off me.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Has he said that?- No, but... But I think I bug him.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Like, sometimes he's so nice,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and we can talk for hours, and then other times he just closes up.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Well, sex can change things in a relationship.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- You know, maybe you're both not ready for that.- I'm 16,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and we've already done it a couple of times anyway.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Well, it doesn't mean you need to keep doing it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28You're just trying to put me off.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29I...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I really care about him.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I get it, Bex, I do.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38But how close are you, really, if you can have sex,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40but you can't talk about it?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Do people actually talk about it?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Well, yeah.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47It's about being intimate and getting inside each others heads.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And if you ask me that is the scary bit.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53What if he doesn't let me?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02That's it, go... We go all the way round, all right?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05This one, this one, this one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07All the way round, that's it. Ah!

0:23:12 > 0:23:14That's so lovely, isn't it?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Lovely.- Super stringy!
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- That's it.- Can you hold it?- Yeah I'll hold this end.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Keep going. You keep going.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31That's it.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Things are different now.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Even if they are, I haven't changed.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Hey. I don't have you down as rehearsing today?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- I've just come to see Shakil, if that's OK?- Oh.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47You are changed, and if you search your feelings now,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49you'll admit that they've changed towards me too.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52So, I shall let you go, Ebenezer.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I've never said I wanted us to part.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Not with words, no.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57With what, then?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59With the things that matter.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Answer me this.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09If there was nothing between us and we were strangers,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11would you want me now?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Answer her.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Why won't you just say it?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Rebecca. Shh!
0:24:25 > 0:24:26Sorry.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Aren't you going to go after her?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- And say what?- How should I know? But look what you're doing to her.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37How far away are you?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I'm just asking...
0:24:39 > 0:24:43So, Christmas crackers and stockings for everyone, yeah?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46And then I thought we could go traditional and put
0:24:46 > 0:24:49oranges and satsumas in them.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Is that it?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53No, obviously we're going to put other stuff in there.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We don't want people thinking we're cheap, do we?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58And then there's lunch, Lee. We need a massive turkey!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Well, we're all here.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And I've got your drink ready, so...
