0:00:29 > 0:00:31CAT MEOWS
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Oh, you pest. Go on, off you go, shoo, shoo. Go on.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44CAT MEOWS
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Do you have to do that now?
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Well, want the place looking nice for tomorrow, don't we?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Where are you going? - Back to bed.- No, you don't.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59I've got a shopping list here of stuff I need you to get me
0:00:59 > 0:01:00for tomorrow.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01But I'm meeting Bex later.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04For once in your life will you do as you're told!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And before you go running off to your dad, he's not here.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Where is he?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17He had to go and see his accountant.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18What, on Christmas Eve?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Look, guys, would you help me with the sofa?
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Give us a hand.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Move it out.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26SIGHING
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Hang on.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Why's he left his phone here?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I don't know. He must've forgot it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33But what if the hospital calls?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Well, you'll have to ask him that, won't you?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Look, Sharon, has something happened?
0:01:38 > 0:01:42What apart from the fact that Phil's walked out on us, you mean?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yeah, that's right.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Seems your dad would rather crawl into some hole than spend
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Christmas with his family.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55COUGHING
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Cheers.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12You're lucky Lady Di's got the trots.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Otherwise you'd still be huddled on that bench.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I just needed five minutes, that's all.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26So it's all right for you to go off in the sunset, is it?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Leave everybody else suffering.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34What's happened to you, Phil?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36The man that I fell in love with was strong.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40He wouldn't let some poxy liver thing beat him.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42You don't know what you're talking about.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You know, I used to hate Sharon.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I used to look over at that house
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and wonder why it wasn't me in there.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51But now I feel sorry for her.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Because she has shown more guts than you ever will.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58And do you know why?
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Because she stuck it out.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07So what were you going to do, Phil?
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Chuck yourself in the canal?
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Well, go on, then.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Cos I ain't going to stop you.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32PHONE RINGS
0:03:32 > 0:03:33What are you doing?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I was just sorting them into piles.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Dad!
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Oh, don't you dare!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- L, L, your mother's on the blower. - Tell her I'll call her back later.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Here she is, Elaine, she was hoping you'd ring.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Hello, Mum. You all packed for Spain?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh, oh, nope, sorry I can't hear you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Johnny's pestering me for the phone.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Hi, Gran.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Yeah.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Listen, I'd love to stop and talk, but Aunt Babe wants to talk to you.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Says it's urgent.- Hmm?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11There he is, look. The birthday boy.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Come here, you.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Look at him, eh? Look at him.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Proper little pudding now, ain't he?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Ain't one big pudding in the family enough?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I hope you don't mind, but I got him a little something.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26No, course I don't. Thank you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Aww.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Martin, I checked through the costumes last night
0:04:32 > 0:04:33and yours was missing.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Yeah, I took that home.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Why?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Oh, actually I don't want to know.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Just make sure it's back on the rack by six o'clock.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Here he is! Ebeneezer Goode!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It was a team effort, man.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Patrick.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Winston was saying that the value of a Five Hectors album
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- has tripled overnight.- Yeah! Well...
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So what have you two got planned today?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Well, this little one's going to go to sleep, aren't you?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04While Mummy ices the Christmas cakes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Everyone, don't forget it's Dot's leaving do in the Launderette later.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Yeah, me and Stace will be there.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Yeah, as soon as I get back from the bank.- Oh, yeah!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Drinks in the Vic! Yeah, once we're all done poncing about.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Let's kick things off in style. Eh?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I take it Donna's going?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Yeah, of course.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Well, then count me out.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I don't want to be anywhere I'm not wanted.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Oh, come on, Mum. This is ridiculous.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I am the beating heart of this market.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Who is waking up to a full house tomorrow?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Unlike some others I could mention.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45You will give my love to Tanya and little Oscar, won't you?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Yeah, I will do.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Are you sure you don't want me to stay for the party?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh, no, don't you worry yourself.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I'm sure I shall be inundated with well-wishers.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You must be sad though?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59The Launderette closing after all these years.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05When the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08That is Maria, Sound of Music.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Merry Christmas, Grandma.- Aww.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13And to you, Abi.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Oh, if you see that wretched cat about, you know, you see him off.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21He's a bloomin' nuisance.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Bye.- Bye.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Aunt Babe.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- KNOCK ON DOOR - I'll get it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh, Lee, it's that bloke from next door.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oh, no, no, no, don't answer it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Why?- No, he keeps asking us round for drinks.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44I think he fancies me.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- You can't leave him out there. - Listen, I've been a
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- bit distracted lately, but I was thinking...- I just want tomorrow
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- to go well.- I'll tell you what, when I come back from work
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- I'll pick up the last few bits, eh? - Yeah, OK, thanks.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- A few party games would be good. - Consider it done.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58And I need cranberry sauce.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I'll write a list. - Yeah, go on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Easier, ain't it? - Yeah, yeah.- OK.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07See, I told you he'd take the hint.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Tina, it's me. Yeah, listen, I'm going to need you
0:07:11 > 0:07:13to cover for me while I pop over the Launderette and see Dot.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17All right, well, just get here as soon as you can, yeah?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Cheers, bye.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22There he is. The star of our show.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Come on. Give us your line one more time.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26God bless us everyone.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Like butter wouldn't melt.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yeah, I'm not sure Louise would agree with you.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32A chocolate milkshake and a cup of tea, please.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I looked out for Phil in the audience, couldn't see him.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36That's cos he weren't there.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Oh, well. Maybe in the front row tonight, eh?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You go and sit down and I'll bring it over, OK?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Is everything all right, Sharon?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Christmas is stressful enough without you interfering.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Is it true?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Not now, Louise.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50You let my dad just walk out of here?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53He's a grown man. If he wants to go, it's his choice.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55You selfish little cow.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Don't you dare put that on me!
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Phil dug his grave,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01and, as far as I'm concerned, he can lie in it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Come on, Denny. We're leaving.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I can't believe I've left it this late.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It'll be dry in time for tomorrow.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14What about Dot's congratulations cake?
0:08:14 > 0:08:19I'm sure she won't mind a bit of soggy icing.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21This Christmas really means a lot to you, doesn't it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Yeah. I hardly remember last year, you know, getting sick
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and losing my Uncle Charlie.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29All the more reason to enjoy this one.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Yeah, I'm just scared something's going to go wrong.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Well, I think if anyone's due a break, it's you.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I think we both are.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Why don't we leave these to dry and pop over and see Dot?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Oh, let's give it an hour.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Knowing Dot, she'll be rushed off her feet.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Aww.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50EXCITED CHATTER BELLS JINGLE
0:09:07 > 0:09:08SHE SIGHS
0:09:15 > 0:09:16You all set?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Will Phil be there?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21No, darling.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22No, I don't think so.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You ain't much use to me there.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Are you?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05CHURCH BELLS RING
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Now there's a sight for sore eyes.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24What're you doing here?
0:11:24 > 0:11:29I come every Christmas to put down flowers on Kevin's memorial plaque.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31That's another life that you ruined.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Well, don't let me keep you.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37So what are you going to do?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Are you just going to hide out here until your liver rots away?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46You know, I don't know why Sharon's so upset.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48She's had a lucky escape, if you ask me.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I mean, what sort of man walks out on his family at Christmas, eh?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You don't know what you're talking about.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Actually, it's Ben and Louise that I feel sorry for.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00It's not like they asked to be a Mitchell, is it?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02And what sort of legacy have you left for them?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Why don't you shut your mouth?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Or what, Phil? I'll end up like Kevin, is that it?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Just go away.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Yeah, yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14So you can wallow in your own self-pity?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20You see, I've got a problem, you see.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Because if I just leave you here to do something stupid,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27then that's going to be on my conscience, ain't it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31And I wouldn't want to give you the satisfaction.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35What are you doing?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's a nice day.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41I thought I'd get a little bit of fresh air.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Here we go, Mrs Branning.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Winston says you can keep it for as long as you need, all right?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Oh, thank you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02It must be a very old tape. I found it in the back of a drawer there.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Oh, you wouldn't like a fish paste sandwich, would you?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I can't, sorry. I've got to get ready for the show.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- TAPE:- Is it on, Shirl?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Course it's on, you dozy cow.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Hello, Mrs Branning. It's Heather here.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I was going to get you a present, but then
0:13:37 > 0:13:41me and Shirl got drunk on Woo Woos and I spent all my cash.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43So I thought I'd make you a mix tape instead.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48So this is DJ Hev wishing you a Merry Christmas.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Well, who am I, then, the cat's mother?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Oh, and Shirl's here too. She's spinning some choons.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Anyway, we can't have Christmas without a bit of George, can we?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02So let's start with Wham's Last Christmas from 1984.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Shirl, you got to press play.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08What did your last slave die of?!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13MUSIC: Last Christmas by Wham!
0:14:27 > 0:14:31# Last Christmas I gave you my heart
0:14:31 > 0:14:36# But the very next day, you gave it away
0:14:36 > 0:14:40# This year, to save me from tears
0:14:40 > 0:14:45# I'll give it to someone special
0:14:45 > 0:14:49# Last Christmas, I gave you my heart... #
0:14:55 > 0:14:56This ain't about Kevin, is it?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I've seen you looking at me from across the Square.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Fancy a bit, do you?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Phil!?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Have you looked in the mirror lately?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Says the woman who's been knocked up by some one-night stand.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18What sort of life is that kid going to have, eh?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20A damn sight better one than if you were his father.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22There ain't much chance of that, is there?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Good, cos I've seen what a job you done of yours.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35How many years, do you reckon, before Ben loses it, eh?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Because he will, you know.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40And it won't be a spell in a youth offender's this time.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41That ain't going to to happen.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Why?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47It's not like he's got a father figure to look up to now, is it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And what about Louise, eh?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Drink, drugs.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56How long before she goes off the rails?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58She's got her head screwed on, that one.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Yeah, yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Until she finds out that her precious daddy's dead.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Turns out he was too scared to just front this out.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11I ain't scared.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Then why are you running?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Look.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23You've been given a lifeline, Phil.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25And that's something that Kevin never had.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31It just turns out that you're too gutless to see it through.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Well, go on, then.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Just grab yourself a shovel.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I'm sure there'd be plenty of people willing to lend you a hand.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54MUSIC: Merry Christmas Everyone by Shakin' Stevens
0:17:15 > 0:17:16There you go.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19You can't have Christmas without a bit of Shaky, can you?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I hope you enjoyed my little mix tape, Mrs Branning,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24and I hope you have a lovely time with your family.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Shirl, you want to say something?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah. Eat, drink and be merry.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34This is DJ Hev signing off.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37One. Two. Three.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Can we get a drink now?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21'We could go down that pub down by the river and have
0:19:21 > 0:19:24'a drink and then go for a stroll along the tow path in the moonlight.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26'No, go away.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27'You what?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28'I said go away.'
0:19:30 > 0:19:31'What's wrong, Lou?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- LOU:- 'Nothing's wrong, it's just...
0:19:34 > 0:19:36'Well, I don't know.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40'I'm sorry. Dot, you're a good woman, I wish I was as good.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44'It's just, I feel a bit touchy lately.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47'To put it mildly, Lou, you've always been a bit touchy.'
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- ETHEL:- 'Funnily enough, he seems much better this morning,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58'he really enjoyed his breakfast.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59'What do you think?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01'Do you think I should take him to the vet or not?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'There ain't nothing wrong with that dog that a little exercise
0:20:04 > 0:20:06'and a bit of healthy diet wouldn't cure.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07'How can you say that,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10'when you know how he's been suffering with his waterworks.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12'You feed him too much.'
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- PAULINE:- 'She's been a part of this place for more years than I care to remember.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22'She's washed clothes for babies that are now bringing
0:20:22 > 0:20:24'washing for their babies.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28'Dot's the heart and soul of this place.'
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I heard there's going to be some Sixth Formers there.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03What's this?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Mind your own.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's a party in Mile End.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09It's about time I set Bex up with a real man.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12You want to try it sometime.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Why, it's my nephew Fred.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Having a proper knees up by the looks of it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21We're going to have a banging party with or without my Uncle Scrooge.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23How's he doing?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25If he'd stuck to drama club instead of playing football,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27who knows where we'd be now.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28PHONE RINGS
0:21:28 > 0:21:31How many times? No phones backstage.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- It's your gran. - Tell her you'll call her back.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Hello, Mum. Listen. Can you call me back...
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Sorry, I can't hear you, who's this?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44She's only shacked up with some bartender again.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Look, put Mum on the phone, will you?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51..every year without fail, and you know what he'll say?
0:21:51 > 0:21:52CROWD: Oh, no!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54LAUGHTER
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Oh... I see.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I'll get there as soon as I can.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Thank you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09What is it?
0:22:11 > 0:22:15It was the hospital. Your gran's had a stroke.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Is she all right?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23They don't know. It's too soon to tell, apparently.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Where's Kathy? These breeches are driving me mad.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27I got to get to Spain.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I should've spoken to her this morning.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31This is no-one's fault, Mum.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32What... What's going on?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Gran's had a stroke.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39I'm all right, I'm all right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Right. OK, look, right, right, right. I'm going to find Derek
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and I'm going to tell him that we've got to go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- We've got to go.- What about the pub? - Don't worry about the boozer.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- I'll get Shirl to cover for us. - Look, she can't manage on her own.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Then we'll close, it's fine. - I'll go with Mum?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I can help.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54There's no point us both going, is there?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55It's not like we can do anything.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Will you be OK with Ollie?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Of course I will. Of course I will, course I will.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm going to go and check flights.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Good boy.- What about Lee and Whit?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04They've put so much work into tomorrow.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Don't worry about them. I'll sort that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07What if I lose her, Mick?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Come here, come here, come here.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12That's not going to happen, that's not going to happen. OK?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Are you all right?
0:23:33 > 0:23:34I'm just getting my bearings.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Do you know this place?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I thought I did.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Why, it's bigger than me head!
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Merry Christmas to you.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Ho, ho, ho, ho! - Isn't it enormous, Father?
0:24:36 > 0:24:40We're going to have a feast to end all feasts, Mrs Cratchit.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Mr Cratchit.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48According to my pocket watch, you are almost three hours late.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- But it's Christmas Day, sir.- Humbug!
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Please, Mr Scrooge...

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Another 20 minutes ain't going to hurt, is it?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Do you know what, you really do get a buzz from a performance.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I remember when me, Sharon and Kelvin, we had our band.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Here we go.- What was that big hit of yours again?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Something Out of Nothing. - That was it. Classic.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55No seriously, if we'd have managed to stay together for another six months,
0:27:55 > 0:27:56who knows where we would have ended up?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I remember, every Christmas you used to get that damn tape out.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02And there was that one year, do you remember, Michelle hid it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- This one was nearly in tears. - Don't you listen to him.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Martin, get it out before I do something stupid!
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Don't worry, don't worry. Out you go. No harm done, eh?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49No harm done? Have you seen my turkey?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52We'll just have to cut around that bit.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55No, Martin - I'm not touching it. It's probably got rabies.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57She's got a point. You should probably throw it out.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Right, well, I'll go out there and see if there's anywhere open.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02It's ten o'clock on Christmas Eve.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04There isn't going to be anywhere open.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06What're you doing?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Is it too much for something to go right for once?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22What're you looking at?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36- You all right?- Yeah.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40You all right? You look like you've seen a ghost.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Well, it's going to be my last Christmas.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We might as well make it one to remember, eh?
0:32:58 > 0:33:03I was going to give you this tomorrow,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06but there's no point in waiting, is there?
0:33:10 > 0:33:13It's... It's an eternity ring.
