DOOR OPENS | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
Phil? | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
I'm in here. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Have you only just got that out the freezer? | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
I forgot. Sorry. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
I told you three times. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
We're going to have to get a blowtorch to it at this rate. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
We've got the goose being delivered today | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
and I want everything all ready. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
And seeing as Ben has decided to spend Christmas Day with us, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
I thought I'd get some more potatoes in. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |

Phil? | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
So, is the review up yet? | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
There you go - there it is. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Right, what does it say? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
"Dickens - The Disaster Movie. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
"This Christmas classic performed by the Walford Players | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
"makes you want to fast-forward to the New Year. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
"Writing aside, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
"this is one of the most hilarious productions I have ever seen." | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
There you go. See, it's not that bad, then, is it? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
I don't think they meant that as a compliment, Kush. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
Oh, well. At least it can't get any worse, eh? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
Well... | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
"The Ghost of Christmas Present, played by Carmel Kazemi, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
"was performed with as much energy as a coma victim." DONNA LAUGHS | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
Oh, now, that's just cruel. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
"And as for the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come..." | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Give me that. Give me that. Here we go. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
"..not even Kush Kazemi's bulging biceps can distract you from | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
"his total lack of stage presence..." | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Total lack of stage presence? What's that joker on about? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
I think we've just heard enough of that now. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-I hope you're pleased with yourself. -Well, don't have a go at him. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Come on, Denise, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
it's not like any of us actually wanted to do this play, is it? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
Can you believe that? | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
Maybe they're right. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Come on, look. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
I know that yesterday didn't exactly go according to plan, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
but that's no reason to throw the towel in now, is it? | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
We don't have a director. Nor a cast, for that matter. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
I can handle that rabble. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
What about Derek? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
Well, you know, if anyone can sweet-talk him, it's you. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
Lee. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
What, you ain't at work? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
No, the systems were down, so they just sent us all home. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
Why are you coming out of the pawn shop? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-What's with the 20 questions? -All right, I'm only asking. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
You look like you've been busy. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Yes, I have. I got them expensive crackers for Sunday. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
-How expensive? -Well, why does that matter? | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
As long as it gets your mum off my back. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-No, no, no, she don't like those ones. -What? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
She's probably got loads leftover from last year anyway. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-So you might as well take them back. -Do you know what? I'm sick of this. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
-Oi, oi, oi, Whit... -I was really excited about our first Christmas together. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
And do you know what? I wish I hadn't bothered. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Hey. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
I'm just an old fool who should've known better. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
That makes the two of us, then. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
I was happy in Eastbourne, pottering about by the sea. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
So why did you come back, then? | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
After Earl died, I started to become tired of my own company. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:37 | |
I suppose I just wanted to feel needed again. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
So you came back to Walford? | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
I had some very happy memories here. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
Or I did have. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Patrick, you are a good man. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
I'm just sorry that this didn't work out. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
You know what today is? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
12 years to the day since I lost my eldest son Paul. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
That's why I feel I'm living two lives. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Mine and his. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
That's why I think I owe it to him to... | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
..to have another go. Because I'll tell you, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
that boy - he never ever shied away from anything at all, you know. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
Perhaps you should have a word with Johnny. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
I'm sure he'll step up. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
What would your Earl say if he was here now? | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
He'd tell me to stop being an old queen and get on with it. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Sounds like a wise man. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
He was the best. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
Make him proud. | 0:05:58 | 0:05:59 | |
What about the cast? | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Denise got that all in hand. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
It seems I don't have much choice in it, do I? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
TROMBONE PLAYS LOUDLY: We Wish You A Merry Christmas | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
This better be good, Denise. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:24 | |
I've got them queuing round the corner for my sprouts. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
OK, listen! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Could...? Sorry... Just, do that somewhere else, please? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
Thank you. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
Right, OK, listen, everybody. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
I know that last night wasn't exactly a triumph... | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
No, it was a disaster. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
I've never been so humiliated in my life. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
Yeah, well, I find that very hard to believe. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
I'm sorry? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
Look, I think all Denise is asking is that you give the show | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-another chance. -Not on your life. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Nah. I'd rather have my plums cut off. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
Right, so that's it, then? The play's just off? | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
Well, let's look on the bright side. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
We can all get on with Christmas now, can't we? Lovely. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |

Whack that juke box on, Johnny boy. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
-Christmas has officially started. -Someone's in a good mood. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Well, what's not to love? I've got my family wrapped round me, | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
I've just had a lovely little pay-out from the insurers | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
and I ain't got to do that poxy play any more. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |

-Whit? -Yeah? -Fancy pulling a few shapes with me, girl? | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-No, I don't feel like it. -Oh, come on, everyone loves... -Mick! I mean it! | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Sorry. What's the matter? | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
I'm just trying to sort out Christmas Day, right? And Lee... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
What's he'd done now? What's he done? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
He just keeps digging at me. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
I'm starting to think he don't want to spend it with me at all. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
What're you talking about? Course he does. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
He keeps giving me orders from Linda but I know they're from him. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Yeah, well, the thing about L and Christmas is that she's... | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
Give me a word, Johnny. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
Monster? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Yeah, she just likes things done in a particular way. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
Her way. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
So Lee, bless him, he's probably just caught in the middle of it all. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
Yeah, well, fine, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
but I just wish he'd be a bit more enthusiastic about the whole thing. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Listen, I'll have him squealing like a kid on Christmas Eve - guaranteed. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
I don't know why you didn't leave them to me. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Because, believe it or not, I do know how to cook, Babe. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-What've you got there? -Mince pies fresh out the oven. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
Well, go on, then. Tuck in. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Johnny, you going to have a bang on one? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
-I've just eaten, Mum. -Three pints please, Trace. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
Ben, boys, want a nice complimentary mince pie? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
Mick. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
Oh... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:45 | |
Good weight on them. Good weight on them. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
Oh! | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Honestly, that is, that is a pie and a half. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Well, there's plenty more where that came from. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
All right? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Yeah. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
We just finished our last motor for the day, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
so I thought I'd bring the lads down here for a Christmas pint. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
Jerome will be here in a bit. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
Yeah, well, you've worked hard. You deserve it, don't you? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
Do you want to join us? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
I've come to give you this. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:40 | |
Call it a Christmas bonus. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
This is too much. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
I just want you and the lads to have a good time. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Ben... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
..happy Christmas. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
Happy Christmas. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:14 | |
-Listen... -Me and you. Upstairs. Now. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
How many are you expecting tomorrow? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
That launderette has been part of the community | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
for as long as I can remember | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
and I'm pretty sure that none of this will go to waste. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
I've got to hand it to you and Whit. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
From what I hear, you know, we're in for a right little result on Sunday. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
Mum don't seem to think so. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Don't worry about your mother - I'll deal with her. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
She'll be on her best behaviour. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
And then afterwards, we were thinking of leaving | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
you and Whit on your jack, you know, have a bit of time together. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
I think she'd rather leave when you do. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Oh, shut up. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
Listen. No-one said marriage was going to be easy. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
I just feel like I'm always disappointing her. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
You've got to stop all this. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
You put a roof over her head. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
You put food in her belly. She sees how hard you graft. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
I mean, who'd have thought it? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
My boy, you know, the flash City geezer. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Give it a couple of years - you'll be watching the polo, | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
you'll have a little cottage | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
and you won't have no time for me and your mother, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
because, you know, you'll be all posh and that. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
It ain't a flash City job, all right? | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
What're you talking about? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
I work in a call centre, Dad. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
And I hate every minute of it. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Ah, here she is. Our ambassadress of goodwill. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
I take it everyone's onboard for tonight? | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
I tried. But I'm sorry, they're not budging. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
But we're sold out. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |
I guess we have to just give people their money back. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
All that hard work... | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
I guess community spirit just isn't what it used to be. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
You could be flipping burgers for all I care. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
All that matters is that you're a good husband to Whit. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
I'm trying. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
How do you think I got where I am? | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
Do you think I did that without ballsing things up? I mean... | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
be honest. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Secrets just eat up at you, | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
they just eat away at you. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
You've got to deal with things together in a relationship. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
Do you think... | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Do you think me and Whit could be like you and Mum? | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
Yeah. Course. You're halfway there already. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
Other than, obviously, like, the looks and all that, you know. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
You having a laugh? With that derby? Look at it, look. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-Look at it. -You want some? Eh? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
What, cos you fought in Afghanistan? I'd still iron you out. Derby! | 0:13:09 | 0:13:13 | |
I just want to make Whitney proud. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
I know you do. And you will. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |
I'll get Christmas out of the way and then I'll tell her everything. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
Good boy. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
Now, we'd better slip back downstairs | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
before Whitney and your mother have a tear-up over party hats. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
Lee. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:46 | |
You're my first-born | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
and as soon as I held you in my arms, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
it was like love at first sight. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
Are you crying? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Don't be so stupid. It's windy up here, ain't it? It's windy. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
My dad will never agree to it. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
So don't tell him. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:09 | |
Don't tell him what? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
It's a club night over in Mile End on Boxing Day. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Yeah, well. There'll be other nights, won't there? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
You just make sure you get a cab home. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
And no sneaking any booze in the house. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
I promise. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
You're only young once, ain't you? Enjoy yourself. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
Dad, why don't you sit back down, yeah? | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
I'll get you another cup of tea. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
No, I've got to get Sharon a Christmas present. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
Besides, you don't need me cramping your style, do you? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
You've got a good head on your shoulders. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
You make sure you use it. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
Dad, are you all right? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |

L's got something she wants to say to you. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
I might have gone a bit overboard with some of my suggestions. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
Silk napkins? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-You don't expect us to have paper ones, do you? -L. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Look, I'm sure that whatever you and Lee have got planned will be lovely. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
Yeah, and what I will say is I can't wait to smash that Arctic roll. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-Is that really a thing? I thought that was a joke. -L! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
Who can resist a bit of ice cream and sponge on Christmas Day, eh? | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
Hey, have you seen who's over there? | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
Yeah, just ignore them. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
What can I get you? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
An orange juice, a rum and a pint of bitter, please. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-Del. No hard feelings, eh? -No hard feelings? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
OK, just leave it, Patrick. They're not worth it. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
Denise is right. You lot ought to be ashamed of yourselves. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
-Yeah, all right, L, easy. -That goes for you and all, Mick. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
Lee and Whitney lost a baby earlier this year | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
and if it wasn't for the doctors and nurses in that maternity ward, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
we'd have fallen apart. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
I mean, they're in that place working every hour God sends and for what? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
Hospitals are closing left, right and centre and yet you're all | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
sat there too selfish to give a little bit back. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
Listen. Derek. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
If you still want to do this thing, roll me in, yeah? | 0:17:01 | 0:17:06 | |
Yeah, me an' all. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
We've got an hour, all right? | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
So we'd better get our kit on, cos we've got a show to do! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
Yeah, all right, Linda. I'll get him there as soon as I can. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
Right, you better go upstairs and get your crutch. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
The play's back on. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
Phil? | 0:17:36 | 0:17:37 | |
I was just going to lock up for the night. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
I'll stick the kettle on, then, shall I? | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
What am I supposed to say to him? | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
Nothing. You've got the power, remember. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Mince pie, anyone? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
Kathy, I need my cloak. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
I've only got one pair of hands, all right? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
Has anyone seen my bonnet? | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
-Abi! Abi! It must be back there somewhere! -Well, it ain't. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
Yeah, Kath, what it is, you ain't got a spare needle and thread? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
-I've split my crutch again. -I'll do it. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
Just patch it up as best you can, all right? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
No phones backstage. Derek's orders. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
I thought Kim might've left a message from Montserrat, you see. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
She's probably on the beach sipping a pina colada. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
They reckon it's a full house tonight. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:57 | |
Yeah, I think word got around about Kush doing | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
a nose-dive off the scenery. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
Why ain't Phil here yet? Mum's waiting for him out front. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
I'm sure he'll get here when he can. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Right. Derek's looking for you. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:07 | |
Is everything all right? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
It's a time like this you remember you're on your own, don't you? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
Well, I wouldn't be too sure about that. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
I couldn't miss your big moment, could I? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
Right. Places everybody, please. Come on. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
MUSIC: Carol of the Bells | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Merry Christmas, Uncle! | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
What's that miserable mush all about, eh? | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
He's changed my lines again, ain't he? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
It's a time to be merry. Get a few scoops down you. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Merry? I'll tell you what Christmas is, shall I? | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
It's a time for finding yourself a year older and not a penny richer. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
That is what it is. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Why don't you come and dine with us tomorrow? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Cos the missus, she's cooked up a terrific bird. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Humbug. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:06 | |
I put an extra sugar in it. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
Cos you look as though you need it. Watch your hand. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
I thought you'd be with Sharon. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
You know, watching Dennis and Louise in their Christmas play. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
I didn't feel like it. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
So you thought you'd take refuge in here instead? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
No, I just needed somewhere quiet to wrap this, that's all. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:41 | |
Are you sure that was the only reason? | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
I just said, didn't I? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
I remember seeing Peggy, your mother, you know, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
just before she died. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
And she had that same look in her eye. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
I think you've been inhaling too much detergent, Dot. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:05 | |
-DOT CHUCKLES -I am praying for you. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
Well, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it ain't working. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
Perhaps I'm praying the wrong way. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
I mean, I know it's hard, but you've got to be strong. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
I'm dying, Dot. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:23 | |
You mustn't say that. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Yeah, well, it's true, though, ain't it? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
I mean, you mustn't give up. Sharon hasn't. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
And neither have your children. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
Which is why they need to forget about me | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
and just get on with their lives. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
And what do you mean by that? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
Well, I'm just holding them back, that's all. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
They love you, Phil. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
I don't want them to see me like this, Dot. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Look at me. Look. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
I can't do it any more. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
TRAIN RUMBLES OVERHEAD | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
They're coming! | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
You sit yourself down there, Tiny Tim. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Can we bring out the goose now? Mother's excelled herself this year. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
I've seen better cuts of meat at McClunky's. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
AUDIENCE LAUGH | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
That's all they could afford. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Tell me about the little boy. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Why, his mobility is impaired, poor thing. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
-And will he live? -I see an empty seat. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
If these shadows of the future remain unaltered, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
the child will die. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
I propose a toast. To Mr Scrooge. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
The founder of our feast. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
You're having a laugh, ain't you? | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
I'd give him a piece of my mind if he was here now, the old skinflint. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
My dear. The children. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Well, I'll drink to his health for your sake, not his. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
A Merry Christmas. His will be a very merry one indeed. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
And God bless us, everyone! | 0:23:04 | 0:23:05 | |
MUSIC: Our House by Madness | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
AUDIENCE CLAP ALONG | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
You know, I've been thinking. Peggy was a bit of a coward. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
You what? | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
Well, the Peggy I knew | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
would've fought that cancer with every fibre of her being. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
Well, then, maybe I'm my mother's son. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
What do you mean by that? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
I mean, I want them to remember me for the man I was. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
Not what this has turned me into. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
My Jim - he fought that stroke until his last breath. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
But then, he was more of a man than you. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
Cheers for the tea. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:08 | |
Phil... | 0:24:11 | 0:24:12 | |
..God be with you. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
That means goodbye. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Come on, Kush. Don't mess this up. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
Leave him alone. He's trying his best, ain't he? | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
You were saying? | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
Tell me, Spirit. Why have you brought me to the churchyard? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
Wonderful, isn't he? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Well, answer me, man! | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
Am I the man who lies here? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Why show me this if I am past all hope? | 0:25:17 | 0:25:22 | |
What can be a worse fate than lying in the ground unloved and forgotten? | 0:25:22 | 0:25:28 | |
Please, tell me I can rid the writings from this stone. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:36 | |
WILD APPLAUSE | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
-Get in! -You were fantastic. Well done, everyone. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
Don't forget - tomorrow night's the real test. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
-We want to go out on a high, don't we, eh? -Right. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
I think a few lagers are in order, what do you reckon? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
Before you do that, I'd like to say something first. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
You know, when I had my stroke, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:15 | |
I never thought I'd leave the house again. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
You're an inspiration to us all, Patrick. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
-Hear, hear. -There's two things I never thought I'd do. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
Perform again. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
And what's the second one? | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
Buy a round of drinks. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
So whatever you all want, the first drink is on me. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
And well done - not a drink in sight. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Derek, I meant to ask you. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
What are you doing on Christmas Day? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
Well, my daughter's away and my son's at his in-laws. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
I thought I'd treat myself to a plum brandy and a nice film on the box. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
How would you like to spend the day with me, Libby and Denise? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
I don't know what to say. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
I should warn you, though. We've got a vegan. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
-Thank you. -I'll tell you, Earl was a lucky man. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
Someone's been busy. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Christmas, ain't it? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
So you've got to make an effort, ain't you? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
I don't think we've been introduced. Craig Washington. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
-I've just moved in with my girlfriend. -Lee Carter. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you back. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
Actually, mate, I don't suppose you took delivery of | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
a parcel the other day, did you? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
It was a VR headset. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:44 | |
The courier reckoned he delivered it to someone in the flats. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
No, I can't help you, mate. Sorry. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
It's just it was a gift for my nephew. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
Well, I'll tell you what, if it turns up, I'll give you a shout. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
You said he'd be there. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
Dad was acting really weird in the caff earlier. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
Why? What did he say? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
It wasn't anything he said. He just seemed different, that's all. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:14 | |
Your father's a law unto himself. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
-What you got there? -It's from Dad. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
Phil? | 0:28:25 | 0:28:26 | |
Wait here. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
Where the hell have you been? | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
Denny is devastated. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
The least you can do is go upstairs and apologise. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
I'm not staying. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:43 | |
What're you talking about? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
Just go and enjoy your Christmas. And don't worry about me. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
What's that supposed to mean? | 0:28:50 | 0:28:52 | |
I just can't stay here. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:57 | |
It's better for everyone this way. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
You know, I had you down for a lot of things, but | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
a coward weren't one of them. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:06 | |
Just let me go. Please. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
Fine. Walk out that door. Because, do you know what? | 0:29:08 | 0:29:12 | |
I'm sick of you feeling sorry for yourself. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
We have done everything to try and help you here. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
-And I appreciate it. -No, you don't. Or you would stay here and fight it. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
Well, go on. Don't let us hold you back. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
Go off and die for all I care, because I'm done with you. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 |
