-Right. Two crates of brown ale...

-Right. Two crates of brown ale...

-

-What about stout?

-Two crates of that too.

-A bottle of whisky.

-Half or full?

-Half or full?!

-Full, of course! And a barrel

-of draught bass on tap.

-We can't have a barrel.

-We'll never hide it.

-It's the same thing every year.

-We're like squirrels,

-hiding bottles like nuts.

-You know full well my father

-has always been against drinking.

-He's set in his ways.

-I wish he'd go elsewhere

-for Christmas.

-Hey. He is, isn't he?

-Where to?

-He's singing the Messiah on

-Christmas Eve. He won't be here.

-We can roll the barrel in

-and back out before he gets back.

-One small barrel of bass.

-One large barrel of bass.

-A small one, just in case.

-Put a bottle of vodka down too.

-I'll want to toast the Soviets

-by the end of the night.

-SINGS THE RED FLAG

-And a bottle of rum.

-SINGS SAILOR'S HORNPIPE

-I've always said you have a great

-voice, if you looked after it.

-What do you mean?

-George has always had

-the loveliest little voice.

-Do you remember you getting second

-at the Eisteddfod in Llanberis?

-No.

-Well, you did.

-I hope you two

-won't disappoint me.

-Alright. What's the catch?

-Christmas is coming.

-I thought we might show

-a little festive spirit.

-What do you mean?

-We could raise money for

-the Mission by singing carols.

-We could do it as a family -

-Diana, George, Mr Thomas and me.

-Who do you think we are?

-The Osmonds?!

-Fair play, Twm. Give him a chance.

-It wouldn't just be raising money.

-We'd be spreading festive cheer.

-It's become a holiday

-of binge drinking.

-But we could spread

-the true message as a family.

-Well, count me out.

-I'll be very busy this Christmas.

-Doing what?

-Arranging the tombola

-for the British Legion.

-Vanity.

-Well, my voice broke

-many moons ago.

-So you're both refusing?

-So you're both refusing?

-

-Refusing what?

-Refusing to act in a

-Christian manner this Christmas.

-What have they done now?

-Going out there would be

-fatal for my sinuses.

-What are you talking about?

-I thought we could form

-a family carol singing group.

-That's a great idea.

-There we are.

-I knew you would agree with me.

-You have a kind heart, my girl.

-Tell me when you'd like to go.

-What about Christmas Eve?

-No, no.

-I can't do that night either.

-I've got the Messiah in chapel.

-I was thinking we could go

-on Christmas afternoon.

-Christmas afternoon?

-Christmas afternoon?

-

-Christmas afternoon?!

-Straight after lunch.

-Who can reach top C

-with a bellyful of stuffing?

-No-one goes carol singing

-on Christmas afternoon.

-Exactly!

-And as a result,

-we'll make a bigger impression.

-Quite right. You have a point.

-No-one will take any notice of us.

-We'll make sure they take notice.

-We'll be dressed

-as people from Canaan.

-Eh?

-You'll be dressed as Mary,

-George as Joseph and Mr Thomas...

-The donkey!

-The donkey!

-

-Hey! Watch it!

-I was thinking of a shepherd.

-Never in Europe!

-I'm not walking round like some...

-..blinkin' Arab!

-Fair play, now.

-Dressing up is taking it

-a little far, isn't it?

-But it's for a good cause.

-The minister said it was

-the best idea he'd ever heard.

-I agree.

-I support you and so does George.

-Leave Lawrence of Arabia to me.

-PLAYS WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE

-What do you think you're doing?

-Are you mad?

-I'm sick of it.

-I'm up to my sinuses!

-I'm entitled to play my organ

-in my own house.

-Whose house?

-My son bought this house.

-With my daughter.

-Exactly. Your daughter supports

-my carol singing idea.

-You're not going to disturb me

-or those pigeons...

-..with this hurdy-gurdy!

-The pigeons like it.

-Exactly! My birds are the only ones

-in the British Federation...

-..that know more about

-Songs of Praise than racing!

-Sshht!

-Tada...

-..I'd like a quick word in private

-with Dadi, if you don't mind.

-Oh, yes. Of course. It's time

-someone put him in his place.

-What did you say,

-you northern swine?

-I won't tell you again.

-Now listen here, Dadi...

-..if you're not willing to

-co-operate of your own free will...

-..I'll force you.

-Force who?

-Force who?

-

-Is this yours?

-Where did you get that?

-You won't get a drop of this...

-..unless you promise

-not to argue with Tada.

-And unless you join in the carol

-singing, you'll be on Lucozade!

-You can go to jail for blackmail.

-I'll sink this in about an hour,

-I can tell you now.

-You charge enough for it.

-Inflation. I can't help it.

-I've got something worse

-than inflation at home.

-Fair play, he's not that bad.

-I know he's your father,

-but this is senseless.

-He's only asking us to sing

-a couple of carols.

-I'll take these to the car.

-Are you carol singing?

-Are you carol singing?

-

-Not if I can help it, Wil Chips.

-I've told you not to use

-that name here, Twm Twm.

-Oh, alright.

-And I'm Mr Thomas Thomas to you too.

-What would you like,

-Mr Thomas Thomas?

-You're asking for a kick.

-You're asking for a kick.

-

-Same again, sir?

-There you are.

-I hear your good lady is getting

-over her hyst... Spot of bother.

-Another pint of draught bass here,

-Squadron Leader.

-Why do you hide your roots?

-You always were Wil Chips

-and you always will be.

-It's about time you told

-this shower about your dad...

-..singing on a Saturday night

-and your mother dancing on tables.

-Maybe you're a chip off

-the old block, as they say.

-Would you like anything else?

-Your dad had a great singing voice.

-You've probably got

-a decent voice too.

-Well, to be...

-Well, to be...

-

-Oh, really.

-Give us a song.

-I don't have a singing licence.

-Would you like to know about

-Squadron Leader Chips's father?

-OK, OK. Thank you, Cedric,

-for your valued custom.

-So good of you to come.

-Out.

-Right out, come on.

-The place is empty.

-Sing.

-Now?

-Now?

-

-Now.

-Alright.

-# There'll be bluebirds over

-# The white cliffs of Dover

-# Tomorrow, just you wait and see

-# There'll be joy

-# There'll... #

-Right. Lovely.

-You're better than Vera Lynn.

-I want you to do a small favour

-for your buddy, Twm Twm.

-I want you to take my place

-in the carol singing party.

-No, he won't.

-No, he won't.

-

-He's got a good voice.

-You promised us as a family.

-If you promised, fair's fair.

-If you promised, fair's fair.

-

-Shut your chops, Vera Lynn!

-Come on, Twm Twm.

-ORGAN PLAYS UPSTAIRS

-Diana, where's my father?

-Can't you hear? He's upstairs.

-OK, Twm. All clear.

-Where shall we put these?

-Where shall we put these?

-

-Hang on a minute.

-Blimey! Who's going

-to drink all that?

-Who drinks vodka in this house?

-George...

-That hurdy-gurdy has stopped.

-Quick. Hide these.

-George, quick, over here.

-Come on!

-Come on! Down there!

-Dadi, do something!

-"Do something".

-The ball comes out of the scrum.

-Edwards to Bennett.

-Dadi!

-It's Ali Baba!

-You look just like a king, Tada.

-Well, you do look...

-Well, you do look...

-

-..dignified.

-Where did you park your camel?

-Where did you park your camel?

-

-Dadi!

-When you've stopped your nonsense,

-we'll start practising.

-Yes.

-Before we start, I want to see

-if the costumes fit.

-George, try yours on.

-Dadi, look here.

-This is your costume.

-I'm not wearing that.

-We must have a king

-and a shepherd.

-There are no kings in the Soviet!

-There are no kings in the Soviet!

-

-Get a move on, Dadi!

-I've never heard such

-a stupid idea in my life.

-You don't need to

-get dressed up to sing.

-Just put it on.

-Just put it on.

-

-I am!

-Do you know what, Twm?

-If you had a candle, you'd

-look like Wee Willie Winkie!

-Alright. That's it. I'm not

-going to be a laughing stock.

-Dadi, they're forecasting

-very dry weather over Christmas.

-Hat.

-When you're quite ready,

-we'll start practising.

-Here you go.

-Turn to page 39.

-Thanks, Tada.

-Thanks, Tada.

-

-39.

-And we'll sing this one in F.

-Now where's my pitchfork?

-Do you remember

-the old Welsh saying?

-No point lifting your skirt...

-No point lifting your skirt...

-

-Dadi!

-Now then, ready?

-Right, Behold the Dawning.

-# Behold the dawning

-of a day to remember

-# The birth of the Messiah... #

-Da, da, da, da...

-Mr Thomas, show some joy and pride.

-You've just arrived in Bethlehem

-after that little camel...

-..has carried you for miles.

-I feel like I was the one carrying

-the little camel for miles!

-If you mess around, I'll give up!

-No, no! We're not going to

-mess around, are we, Dadi?

-Right, one more time.

-Ready? One, two...

-# Behold the dawning

-of a day to remember

-# The birth of the Messiah... #

-No, no.

-The fact we're collecting money

-for children in China...

-..doesn't mean you should

-sing like you're Chinese!

-Now, once again.

-Everyone hold one of these tins.

-There we are.

-We'll fill these. They'll pay us

-to go to the next street!

-Behold the Dawning.

-Ready? One, two...

-# Behold the dawning...

-# Follow me and then everyone

-turn to the right

-# And then carry on singing

-# And then everyone

-back in place... #

-LAUGHTER

-One, two...

-# Behold the dawning

-of a day to remember

-# The birth of the Messiah #

-DOOR CLOSES

-Tada, you're back.

-Yes. Nothing beats the aroma

-of turkey at Christmas.

-You're quite right.

-This is quite a heavy one.

-Watch you don't burn yourself.

-There we are.

-How did it go?

-Mr Morgan was at his best.

-There weren't many there.

-He said we must have

-sympathy for the sinners...

-..although they have stayed away.

-Merry Christmas.

-Come on, George. Hair of the dog.

-You're telling me.

-My head's like a bucket.

-You shouldn't have drunk

-so much vodka last night.

-You were the one knocking it back

-like a Cossack!

-Buy some raffle tickets, boys.

-Buy some raffle tickets, boys.

-

-What's it for?

-A good cause.

-Well, people don't sell

-tickets for a bad cause.

-First prize, Christmas hamper.

-First prize, Christmas hamper.

-

-A bloody basket!

-Loads of fruit, a tin of biscuits,

-a turkey and two bottles of whisky.

-OK, George, buy us two tickets.

-Eh?

-Well, it is a day of goodwill.

-Come on, buy a ticket.

-I agree with the goodwill. I'll

-buy one, you can buy the other.

-Alright, alright.

-We'll be making the draw at 3.00pm,

-after Her Majesty's speech.

-Why? Has she bought a ticket?

-We won't be here.

-No, unfortunately.

-We'll be out carol singing.

-On Christmas afternoon?

-I was thinking

-we'd have a party here.

-There we go again.

-Ephraim Hughes again!

-He's more square than

-Mrs Mary Lighthouse!

-Don't start.

-Come on, drink up.

-Diana's making lunch.

-Down it.

-I'll turn the car around.

-Ephraim Hughes likes to spoil

-everyone's Christmas.

-That's the problem

-with these teetotallers.

-A little whisky would do him good.

-A glass or two.

-It lifts the spirits, doesn't it?

-Get me a bottle of brandy.

-Half a bottle will do.

-Half a bottle will do.

-

-You don't drink brandy.

-No, I don't.

-But as the English say,

-"Brandy for the parson".

-Tada, where have they got to?

-It's the same every

-Christmas morning.

-They'll return,

-like two lost sheep to the fold.

-Christmas is a time to be together.

-George, where have you been?

-If it wasn't for Tada...

-Where's Dadi?

-Where's Dadi?

-

-He's coming now.

-Come on, Twm.

-Now don't spoil things this year

-and don't wind up the old man.

-Never in Europe!

-Never in Europe!

-

-Alright. Now, come on.

-Right then, Georgie.

-We're going to have a

-Christmas dinner to remember.

-Well, I've never had a pudding

-as good as this one.

-And this custard is marvellous.

-Diana...

-..you've been very generous

-with your "vanilla" this year.

-Me? I thought it was you

-who added it.

-I didn't touch it.

-Do you know what?

-If I may say so,

-this Lucozade is like wine.

-I'll fetch the coffee.

-Before you...

-Before you go, my dear...

-..on behalf of this family...

-..I'd like to thank you

-for preparing this meal today.

-Oh, very good.

-Oh, very good.

-

-No need to thank me, Tada.

-Lads, before she gets back,

-I've got a joke.

-This boy from Llanberis was in love

-with a girl from Liverpool.

-They couldn't speak much

-of each other's languages.

-They went for a walk up the

-mountain for a bit of fun.

-They'd been there

-for quite some time.

-Things were going well.

-And after a while,

-the girl asked...

-.."Darling...

-.."Darling...

-"..say something soft."

-And he said, "Rice pudding."

-Do you think he knows Eskimo Nell?

-What's the matter with you?

-Mr Hughes has been cracking

-a couple of blue jokes.

-Never! Never in Europe!

-It was a little joke for the lads.

-George can tell it

-to you another time.

-Somewhere a bit more private.

-Tonight.

-I've...

-I've enjoyed this Christmas.

-Wonderful!

-What about a song?

-Do you know Whiskies Wasgies?

-Don't you know Whiskies Wasgies?

-# Some day...

-# The summerhouse... #

-Don't you know it?

-Don't you know it?

-

-No, Tada.

-I'll go upstairs to...

-..fetch copies.

-We'll have to learn it.

-Can I get past, Twm Twm?

-Call him Dadi.

-I'll fetch it.

-# Some day... #

-Righto... Who?

-Not me.

-Dadi?

-Me?

-Oh, Dadi. That white sauce

-stank of brandy.

-And this coffee's awful!

-This Lucozade is like Potcheen!

-# Whiskies wasgies, off we go,

-Christmas is approaching... #

-# Behold the dawning

-of a day to remember

-# The birth of the Messiah... #

-Aaarrghhh!

-Where am I? What's happened?

-Sshh. Everything's alright.

-Don't you worry about a thing.

-You had a little accident.

-The doctor said you can

-come home tomorrow.

-Yes, I remember now.

-Something came over me.

-You'd been drinking.

-Eh?

-Eh?

-

-Lucozade.

-Oh.

-Yes.

-Come on, now. You're not to blame.

-Of course I'm to blame.

-I gave him the brandy.

-You didn't know he'd be so daft.

-You didn't know he'd be so daft.

-

-A joke is a joke.

-He's a good man. He's straight

-down the middle, like that.

-He only wanted to go carol singing

-for good causes...

-..and where is he? Hospital!

-Cheer up, cheer up!

-Time for the raffle, tally-ho!

-Now then, Penny, darling.

-Would you be a dear

-and choose the winning ticket.

-Didn't she do that beautifully?

-Now, let's have you. 37.

-Who's got 37, the winning number?

-Goodness, it's you! 37!

-It's this lucky gentleman

-over here, Penny.

-Bring the hamper over.

-Thank you very much.

-APPLAUSE

-Come on, you couldn't help it.

-No, I couldn't help it.

-But I could help now, couldn't I?

-Eh? Right, you lot here.

-Quiet a minute.

-Have you enjoyed today,

-drinking and so on?

-Right, OK. Now you can do me a

-little favour. A favour for Twm Twm.

-Where is he, then?

-Where is he, then?

-

-Who?

-Your father, Mr Thomas.

-He was here when you were asleep,

-wasn't he?

-Oh, yes. But he had to go because

-he had something important to do.

-Oh, I see.

-Listen! Carol singers!

-That's what I was going

-to do this afternoon.

-Hush!

-Hush!

-

-Listen to that!

-# The old wondrous promise of Eden

-# Behold today its fulfilment

-# Behold the strategy

-of divine love

-# Before our eyes, unimpeded #

-Tally-ho.

-My friends here have been out

-collecting for your whatsanames.

-Well, really. Well, well!

-Plenty of money there.

-You could feed a few

-Chinese with that.

-I can only thank you all profusely!

-Another small present for you too.

-Oh, no. I'm not touching

-that ever again!
