0:00:39 > 0:00:41Let's stop messing around and go back to mine.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44I know you need to be on good terms with your ex-wife
0:00:44 > 0:00:48for your daughter's sake but... come on, we can still be friends.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Sweetheart, listen... this is not going to happen.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52I need you to back off now.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Sats deteriorating. We're losing her.- Mr Campbell?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Bronchospasm. Salbutamol, Nurse Carter, quickly.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I asked Nurse Carter for Oxacillin. She gave me the wrong drug.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Dr Tressler, did you see what happened?
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- No.- 'Am I missing a piece of the jigsaw here?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07'Cos I don't like fighting blind.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- I slept with him.- 'You mess with my nurses, you mess with me.'
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Capiche?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19HE SINGS ALONG TO MARIAH CAREY: # I just want you for my own!
0:01:19 > 0:01:22# More than you can ever know!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26# Make my dreams come true!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28# All I want for Christmas
0:01:28 > 0:01:30# Is you! #
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Yeah, you never could sing in tune.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And I was thinking you'd be impressed by my spontaneous outpouring of love.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38All I want for Christmas is something large, sparkling
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and set in 24-carat gold.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Well, there's Santa. You can always ask him.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44KNOCKING ON WINDOW
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Sorry, Ms Campbell?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- A quick word about the carols, if I may?- Yes, of course.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Nice car. Did he get it last Christmas?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- What...?- Oh, look what I found!
0:02:01 > 0:02:02THEY GIGGLE
0:02:05 > 0:02:07< You're such an idiot. What is that?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- Oi!- What?
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Ouch!
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Mmm!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Right, um, I've got you down for tomorrow and Boxing Day, right?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Nope. Vetoed by Elliot.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So it's turkey twizzlers and party fun at his house. Can't wait.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23So who is working, then?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28What about open house at the Effangas'?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Er, Cluedo, and eggnog and enough mince pies to feed the 5,000?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Yeah, I thought I'd give it a rest this year.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37But you love all that stuff!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39It gets a bit boring being good old Auntie Mo.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42My family think all I'm good for is peeling spuds
0:02:42 > 0:02:44and entertaining other people's kids.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46You know, every year, I think, "That'll be me," you know,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48next year, married, engaged even.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52But here we go again, Christmas Eve and no sign of Prince Charming.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Well, it's not too late, if you just wish hard enough.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Well, if I find Denzel in my stocking, I'll let you know.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00HE LAUGHS
0:03:11 > 0:03:12MINTS RATTLE
0:03:17 > 0:03:21FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYS Thank you. Merry Christmas.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- For your poor unfortunates. - Thank you very much, Edward.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Oh, can I sign you up for the Christmas Eve singing?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Free mince pies and mulled wine? - Tempting as that sounds,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31we have to leave once our shifts are over.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Why? I've already said yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35You forgot the sugar.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, Harry, can I sign you up for the carols?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Sorry, Prof, really busy day. - Right.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Good morning, Professor. - Good morning, Nurse O'Flaherty.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52But hey, er... I'll give up my break.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- It's for a good cause and all that.- Oh, thank you.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59At least, er, someone understands the importance of community spirit.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00See you later.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03It's only dinner. A few carols won't make a difference.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Yes, but we're going out to dinner here.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Right, but this is in the Cotswolds.- Yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Which is why we have to leave on time.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Three days away. - But what about Ellie and my mother?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Your mum's staying at Jennifer's.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Ellie's coming with us. It's all taken care of.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Christmas in the Cotswolds.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Just the three of us. No stress. No work. Just us.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Hmm?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30# Let it snow, let it snow... #
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Margie Bennett. 68 years old. - Got a bit of a cough. That's all.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35She was found asleep on the night bus
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and someone brought her into ED.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Temperature's 37. She's complaining of chills and a cardiac murmur.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Nothing wrong with my heart. - I'll be the judge of that.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I went out last night, had a few drinks,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51snogged this bloke, probably picked up something from him.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Well, it is Christmas after all, Ms Naylor.- Exactly!
0:04:54 > 0:04:59And I've got just as much right to have a good time as anyone else!
0:04:59 > 0:05:0170's the new 50, if you hadn't heard.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Not if you drop dead from heart failure.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Not staying. Christmas Eve's a big night.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Spent a fortune on my Santa outfit.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, statistically, you are more likely to die at Christmas
0:05:12 > 0:05:14than other time of the year, but if you want to risk it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Better make it quick, then.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What am I going to do with all the shopping?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24I bought enough food to feed an army.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Elinor's packing it into the freezer.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I told you, I've got everything covered.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30You always were alarmingly good at subterfuge.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- HE LAUGHS - Can I help you, Ms Sheward?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I'd like a word with Nurse Carter.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Yes, wouldn't we all? But I can't see her.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Don't worry, she'll turn up, eventually.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I'm not worried.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Dr Digby! You're a charitably-minded soul.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Right, OK, no, if it's about the carols.- Yes, it is.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- And I'm sure you and Dr March have wonderful singing voices.- Me?!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57No, absolutely not, no. Tone deaf, you know!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I was banned from the school nativity for putting people off.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Christmas Zoshie. - Don't call me that!
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I thought it'd be nice if we spent it together as a family.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18I'm working.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21OK. Boxing Day?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28OK, fine. I get it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, this is for you anyway.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I don't want anything from you.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's not from me. It's from Mum.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37She wanted you to have it on Christmas Eve.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39BEEP! 'Doors opening.'
0:06:39 > 0:06:41'Lift going up.'
0:06:41 > 0:06:43'Doors closing.'
0:06:53 > 0:06:58You shouldn't have. Didn't think I'd be on your Christmas list.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Present from a grateful patient.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Lucky you.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Wait a minute.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09I, er... I got this for you. It's your favourite perfume.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13To say sorry for, you know...the confusion.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16There is no "confusion". We both know exactly what happened.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Please, let's not go over this again You... You have to let it go.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I don't have to do anything!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Give it to Serena.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35HE UNSCREWS THE BOTTLE
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Yo, Ms Campbell's asking for you. - OK, great.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Dr Digby?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, no.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Oh, really?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Oh...- No, no, no!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Great. Now smile.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03The patients love it!
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Excellent.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Good.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Mr Scanlon... Oh, sorry! ..Noel! >
0:08:09 > 0:08:12This is Dr Digby. He's going to be looking after you today.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Nice baublies!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Now, Mr Scanlon took a tumble
0:08:15 > 0:08:19whilst trying to fix his electrical problem with his Christmas lights.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Admitted as a precaution,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24because he's been complaining about intermittent abdominal pain.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26This year, I've got 40,000 lights
0:08:26 > 0:08:29delivering a 20 minute, computer controlled spectacular.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Sorry, 40,000 lights? On your house?- Isn't it awesome?
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Mum started the tradition.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It began with just a row of icicles on the guttering.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Now we've got a Ferris wheel, a life-size nativity,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- artificial snow... - Any polar bears?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- One giant one on the roof. - Daniel loves polar bears!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Aw! Listen, I'm picking him up later. I'll drive by with the girls.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Usually, 100 to 150 cars on Christmas Eve,
0:08:53 > 0:08:54so I really do need to get home.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well, look, after Dr Digby's checked you over,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and everything's fine, then...you're good to go!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04You've got a connection fault.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Hmm?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12New admission. Sam Chandler. 34. Found collapsed in the mall car park.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15He's got a fever of 38,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- nauseous, still waiting for his medical records.- I feel fine now.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20He was in a great deal of pain. Could hardly move.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Has this happened before? ..Can I have a torch, please?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Thank you. ..Do you mind?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Any health concerns or history we should know about?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Just tired. Been working too hard.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Got three kids.- Your eyes do look a little jaundiced.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Not necessarily anything to worry about,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39but it can be a useful warning sign. I'd like to run some tests.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It's Christmas Eve! My wife's on her own with the kids!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- I haven't got half the presents yet! - It shouldn't take long.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- I'll come back. - HE GRUNTS IN PAIN
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Ah, Mr Chandler, please, lie down.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51That's it, legs up. Thank you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Right, I'm going to need to examine you, all right?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Ah, there's some swelling here and...
0:10:02 > 0:10:06the gall bladder feels enlarged. I would strongly advise you stay.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Anyone you'd like us to call? Your wife?- No. I'll call her myself.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Er, I'd like a chest and abdo X-ray. FBCs, U & Es and LFTs.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Glucose, amylase and calcium.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19We'll do our best to speed things through for you. Harry?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Just, um, keep a close eye on him for me, will you?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Of course, Ms Campbell. Not going to miss a trick today.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Never mind all that! Just give me some drugs!- No!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Where's the bog, then? I'm desperate for a pee!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Actually, I really need you to shut up and stay still for five seconds.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Oi! I'm the customer here. You need to learn some manners.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Right, I can definitely hear a heart murmur.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53My dog had one of those. Didn't do him any harm.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Your heartbeat has an extra sound caused by disturbed blood flow.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58We just need to investigate further.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00It could be alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04You cheeky cow! Just cos I like a few drinks!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06That's just one of several possibilities.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08A highly probable one, given your lifestyle.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11You've been looking down your nose ever since I got here!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13And you're no better than you should be,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16you skinny-faced ginger cow!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Up the duff! No wedding ring? You have something to say, say it!
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Rotting mutton dressed as lamb comes to mind.- You. Bed. Now!
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Come on.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I can handle her.- Brawling in your third trimester is off limits.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Or haven't you got to that chapter yet?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Leave Granny Godzilla to me, yeah?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Off to do my stint as a cherubic choirboy.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Those days are long gone.- Well, so are yours, as the Virgin Mary!
0:11:55 > 0:11:59You can pretend all you like that nothing's happened, Harry,
0:11:59 > 0:12:00but it's not OK.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01It'll never be OK.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I'm so sorry, but Sam Chandler's gone.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Gone?- There was a drunk on the ward. I only turned my back for a second.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05But I specifically asked you to keep an eye on him!
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I know, I'm on the case.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's just that Mary-Claire

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- 15 minutes max. - HE GRUNTS IN PAIN
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Ow...!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- OK, come on. Let's get you back inside, mate.- I'm fine!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- You're burning up!- Josh wants a dinosaur! They're holding it!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- I have to get there! - You can try, but you'll just
0:15:09 > 0:15:11end up back in an ambulance if you don't let us help you.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Come on, let's go back in, yeah? SOFTLY:- OK.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19He had a raised cardiac rhythm. Probably nothing,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22but post electrocution, I thought we should check it out.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Well, I'm grateful for the escape. It's like Santa's Grotto on Darwin.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Desperate for a bit of pain and misery.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Ah, probably not your ideal patient, then.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Thought I'd cheer the place up a bit. I've got a spare!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It'll make you look more festive.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Er...ahem...
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Low level current can affect cardiac rhythm,
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- so we'll need to order an ECG. - But I need to get home.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Any shortness of breath, Mr Scanlon? - Please, call me Noel.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I was born at Christmas, hence the name.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52So was my mother Natalie,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55from the original Latin, Natalia, meaning Christmas Day,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57so it's always been a big thing for both of us.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Hmm, yes, I think Christmas is a meaningless farce.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02So I'd really appreciate it if you could just answer my questions
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- and let me get on with my job. - Bit harsh, maybe?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07I'll arrange the ECG.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Ah, panic over. Harry found Mr Chandler outside.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13His results.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17White blood count's raised.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Bilirubin, glucose and amylase likewise.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Haemoglobin down.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Where's his X-ray? - Well, he missed his slot.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Because someone wasn't doing their job properly.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27I was rushed off my feet!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30And now this vulnerable patient needs urgent treatment.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31- It could've happened to anyone. - True.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33But as Mr Campbell reminded me,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36there's a very long list of your mistakes.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Your little walkabout was not a good idea.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Just give me something to deal with the pain.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Not possible until we know exactly what's causing it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'll come back, Boxing Day.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54We need to scan you, then we'll take a view.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I don't need a scan! - Oh, humour us, please, Mr Chandler.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- A CT scan will take half an hour tops.- That's too long!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I need to be with my family!
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I'll sign anything!
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Take full responsibility.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08But there may be some serious underlying cause.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I know the underlying cause!
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Your scan identified some abscesses on your heart tissue.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- What?- It could be something called endocarditis.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Is it serious? - Not necessarily.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Then I'm going. - I would thoroughly recommend
0:17:25 > 0:17:27you stay for further investigation, just to be sure.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Oh, no! It's that bleeding Elf again!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Mind you... he's got lovely soft hands.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36SHE LAUGHS
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- You fancy him!- Me? No way!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Good, cos I reckon he's gay.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47And even if he isn't, you can never trust blokes who like a costume!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51They end up wearing your knickers and calling themselves Daphne.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52SHE LAUGHS
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Just give me some antibiotics, elf boy!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59There's going to be loads of blokes at the party tonight!
0:17:59 > 0:18:00I don't want to miss out.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02She might want to take a rain check on that, you know.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- She's got gonorrhoea.- Not it!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- What?! She's your patient!- Oh...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- All right, call security if this gets messy.- OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Margie!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Got some results for you.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17And?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Right, this is very rare, but the bacteria in your heart tissue
0:18:20 > 0:18:22is related to another infection.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Which is?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Gonorrhoea.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Now, er, we realise this must come as bit of a shock to you...
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Nah, I've had the clap a couple of times!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38I blame the blokes in Kavos. They don't like wearing johnnies.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Ah! Well, for someone with such an active sex life,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45you really should think about using protection and...
0:18:45 > 0:18:49This is hilarious! Getting sex advice from a bleeding elf!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51LAUGHTER
0:18:51 > 0:18:53MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Nicky!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Where the hell have you been?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Er... HE LAUGHS
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- You think you've seen it all. - Yeah, and then you meet a Margie.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05SHE LAUGHS
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I've just spoken to your oncologist.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10As you know, your pancreatic cancer is fairly advanced.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12And it's going to kill me. Very soon.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Which is why I have to get out of here.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16You'd be leaving against medical advice.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I just need something to take the edge off.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Well, there's the possibility of doing a palliative bypass,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25which would mean surgery and some weeks of recovery.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27And then I die anyway.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- No, thanks.- If you leave now, the pain could be hard to cope with.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32I'll handle it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I understand how important this Christmas is,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41but if you need treatment, surely your wife would want you to have it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46She doesn't know.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Ah. - I was diagnosed two weeks ago.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I've got three months. Maybe six.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56I was going to tell her.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59But then, I thought, why not just have one last Christmas?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Everyone happy.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Me and the kids smiling in the photographs.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07That's not going to be easy, Sam.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08I know I can do it!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But I need your help.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15I thought you wanted to be friends, make everything hunky dory?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- So why are you stirring things with the missus?- OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20All I want is for you to be sensible.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I liked you, do you know that? How stupid was I?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Sweetheart, I was fond of you too. I still am.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I wonder what Serena would say if she knew how fond of me you really were.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- I've told....- Have you picked up Mr Chandler's scans from oncology?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Not yet. Just having a catch up with Mr Campbell.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Am I going to have to get them myself?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48You have an aura of sadness about you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Your ECG's results are fine.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Like the ones in the ED.- I can see it. It's like a dark green glow.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00I don't think the abdominal pain you're experiencing
0:21:00 > 0:21:01is related to the electrocution.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05I inherited the ability to see auras from my mother. Now Mr Levy...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08His aura's yellow. The sign of optimism and hopefulness.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10But dark green indicates resentment,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14feeling like a victim of the world, blaming self or others.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16We need to order you a CT scan,
0:21:16 > 0:21:19see if there's another cause unrelated to your accident.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21My mother inherited healing powers too,
0:21:21 > 0:21:22but I don't think I've got the gift.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24If your mother has such amazing insight,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26why doesn't she treat you instead of me?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29She passed away five years ago.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- I carry on the Christmas traditions in her memory.- Um...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I will book your CT.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Are you on board for a little rogue malpractice?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Mary-Claire's finally dropped off Mr Chandler's scans.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I'd say three months is optimistic. - Poor chap.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Yes, he should be admitted. No question, but...
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- I'd be prepared to go out on a limb, if you are.- What are you suggesting?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26A therapeutic ERCP should allow the bile to drain sufficiently
0:22:26 > 0:22:29to ease his pain and, well, get him through tomorrow at least.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Let's do it.- Good. I will get them to rearrange theatre.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Serena.- Yeah? - Can I have a word in private?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Sure, I'll just... I'll meet you in the office?- Yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, about your mother.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I'm sorry you feel so sad.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01They're not quite ready for us.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02You don't have to wait.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19My mother died in April.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Sorry. I don't usually talk about it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32This is my first Christmas without her.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37She was Polish, so Christmas Eve was always really important.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Wiglia - the traditional Polish Christmas Eve supper.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46You eat fish, traditionally carp, with little bits of hay spread
0:23:46 > 0:23:51beneath the tablecloth as a reminder that Christ was born in a stable.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53How did you know that?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I know the Christmas traditions of every country in the world.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I could be on Mastermind.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I really miss her.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08It gets easier.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Oh, sorry. They've got a temp booking theatre slots. What is it?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Edward, you're worrying me now.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30The thing is, I should've told you about this before.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Told me what?- Mary-Claire...
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We had a thing, a brief...
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Course you did.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Well, you didn't want anything to do with me. It was nothing.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The point is that she seems to have expected it
0:24:45 > 0:24:47to have developed into something more
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52The reason I'm telling you this,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55because I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose you.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56And Elinor.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I'm worried.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I think there's nothing she wouldn't do to discredit me right now.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I need to tell Mr Chandler the good news.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Serena...
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Mr Campbell, they're waiting for you in the anaesthetics room.- Good.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Ladies and gentleman,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04as part of our Holby Goes Ho Ho Ho at Christmas Campaign,
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I will play you any song you like from this list for £1.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Get you in the festive spirit! What do you think? Anybody?
0:26:12 > 0:26:15What about you, Margie? Come on! You like a party, don't you?
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Yeah, but I can't stand all that Bing Crosby, Cliff Richard garbage.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22At least have a look at the list, will you?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27All right, I'll give you a quid for that one.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30But you've got to do the actions.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- It's not very Christmassy, though, is it?- But it's for charity.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40HE SIGHS
0:26:41 > 0:26:46MUSIC: "You Can Leave Your Hat On" by Tom Jones
0:26:48 > 0:26:50LAUGHTER
0:26:52 > 0:26:54WHOOPING
0:27:04 > 0:27:07# Baby, take off your coat... #
0:27:07 > 0:27:10CHEERING
0:27:10 > 0:27:12# ..real slow! #
0:27:15 > 0:27:17CHEERING CONTINUES
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Sorry, um... - Aw!- Professor!
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Mr Thompson, just Christmas songs from now on, please. Thank you.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Oh!- That was really nice.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Oh!
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Harry?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Um...
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Have you ever seen Edward drinking at work?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- What?!- I saw him just now with a bottle of vodka.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Look, come on! I know you don't like the bloke,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42but this paranoia is getting a tad tedious.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Tedious? Well, thanks again for all your support, Harry.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46It's really much appreciated.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Oh, you forgot the next of kin bit.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58If I put my wife down, will she need to know the truth?
0:27:58 > 0:28:03No, but, um, it's probably a good idea to let her know where you are.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I mean, I could call her, if you like,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08say you're in for a minor operation. A blocked duct or something.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I'm not averse to telling the odd porkie pie.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Never thought I'd get married, let alone have kids.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20When Jess fell pregnant, I was so angry, thought my life was over...
0:28:22 > 0:28:24But now, they're my world.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You're going to be OK? Not long now.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I haven't always got things right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Which is why this Christmas had to be perfect.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Fridge full, huge pile of toys under the tree.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Couldn't even manage that.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Maybe I could.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Here, give me that list.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52There's a definite blockage in the large intestine
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and what appears to be a blood clot.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- But as we thought, your heart looks reasonably normal.- I see.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03- Right, don't take this the wrong way, Mr Scanlon.- Noel, Please.- Noel.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06But you are a little on the heavy side, um...
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Now that might have a bearing on the situation, um...
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Could you tell us about your current diet?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14This time of year, I probably eat about five Christmas dinners a week.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19Maybe six. I can't help it! Shops are full of Christmas stuff.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Yule logs. Stiltons. Huge bags of sprouts.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Sprouts?- I love 'em. Soups. Curries. Stir fries.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27And they're brilliant with a Full English.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- I probably eat them with every meal. - That's a lot of sprouts.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- But that's a good thing, isn't it? - Not that many, no.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Um, sprouts are high in vitamin...- K.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Yes! So the fatty foods have clogged up your intestine. Yes!
0:29:45 > 0:29:49And it's just possible that the blood clot is linked to
0:29:49 > 0:29:53an overdose of vitamin K, brought on by excess consumption of sprouts!
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Oh!
0:29:57 > 0:29:59What? That is theoretically possible.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Thank you very much indeed. That's very, very kind of you.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09- Oh!- Merry Christmas.- Merry Christmas to you. Thank you very much indeed.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Harry, it's me, Professor Hope.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I hear excellent reports of your singing.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I wonder if we could count on you for a solo later?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Going to start with Silent Night. - Sure. No problem.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Ah, little boy, here's a present for you.- Or, have this one.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It's much better. Trust me.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- WOMAN: What do you say? - Thank you.- Good boy.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Oh, better put this on. Ho ho ho!
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Professor Hope, your sack's looking heavy.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I'm happy to off-load some of it for you, if you like.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39That's very kind of you, thank you very much.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43If only everyone was as public spirited as you. Ho ho ho!
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I've been in this game a long time, Dr Digby, but it's fair to say
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I've never encountered, ahem, a Brussels sprouts overdose before.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Process of elimination, Mr Levy.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56So what happens now?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well, you're going to need a procedure to fix your bowel,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- which means staying in overnight, I'm afraid.- I see.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Sorry about your lights. - Not the end of the world.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05My neighbour Ted knows how it all works.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Well, I know it's not ideal, but on behalf of the ward, it would be
0:31:08 > 0:31:11amazing to have the benefit of your infectious Christmas spirit
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- for just a little while longer. - Glad to be of service.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15It's a hard time to be on your own.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24HE SIGHS
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Everyone's in theatre. They're all asking for you.- Fine.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42You wouldn't give us a sip of your water, would you?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I've been dashing around like a maniac all day, dying of thirst.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I'm not well. I wouldn't want to ruin your Christmas.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48It's not water, is it?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Listen, when are you going to understand?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55You've got to stop making these ridiculous accusations
0:31:55 > 0:31:58if you want to save your career. Nobody believes a word you say.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Well, we'll see about that, shall we?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Get out the way!
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- HE LAUGHS:- Well, what can I say, it was the Christmas spirit!
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- You shouldn't have kept your hat on. - THEY LAUGH
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- Hi, can I help?- I'm Margie Bennett's niece - Nicky.- Ah, Ms Effanga.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22I've had the extraordinary experience of treating her.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- You're Nicky? She's been trying to get hold of you all day.- I know.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Yeah, don't worry. He is a real doctor.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Oh, yeah, sorry. Mr Thompson.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Her gynaecologist. - I thought it was a heart problem?
0:32:36 > 0:32:41Yeah, her murmur we found out was to do with, um... It was to do with...
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- What was it?- An infection. - An infection.- An infection.- Yep.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47She can go home later.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49You're joking?
0:32:49 > 0:32:51SHE SIGHS: My family are going to be so gutted!
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- What?- We thought we might get a year off!
0:32:56 > 0:33:00I don't suppose there's any way you could just keep her in, could you?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Excuse me, could I have a word, please?- Sure. Excuse me.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09OK, let's go into my office.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Well, I hope this is important.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26One of my nurses has made an extremely serious allegation
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- against Mr Campbell. - Nurse Carter, by any chance?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31What's he supposed to have done?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34She believes she saw him drinking alcohol in this office.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Yes, and I believe in fairies, but it doesn't make them real.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Did she see him or didn't she?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43She can't be 100% certain, which is why I came to you.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Well, I've been working with Mr Campbell all day,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- so it's completely ridiculous. - Well, why would she lie?
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Nurse Carter had a brief affair with Mr Campbell which he chose to end.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02- Yes, I'm aware of that.- If you knew the answer, why ask the question?
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Anyway, she's obviously out to discredit him in any way she can.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Well, what do you suggest I do? Because I can't just ignore it.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13As Deputy CEO, I am more than happy to accept full responsibility
0:34:13 > 0:34:15for Mr Campbell's fitness to work.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18And I would like Nurse Carter removed from my ward,
0:34:18 > 0:34:19with immediate effect.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Right, time to deal with the damage done by those evil sprouts.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40MUSIC: "Dominic the Donkey"
0:34:40 > 0:34:44# Santa's got a little friend His name is Dominic
0:34:44 > 0:34:47# The cutest little donkey You never saw him kick... #
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- SINGING CONTINUES - Please, Mr Levy.- Maybe some carols?
0:34:51 > 0:34:53No, hang on a second, wait a second.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56This is the chorus! It's brilliant! It's the best bit, ready?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59# Hey, jing-a-di-jing Hee-haw! Hee-haw!
0:34:59 > 0:35:02# It's Dominic the donkey... # Now you!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- What? - # Hee-haw! Hee-haw! #
0:35:05 > 0:35:08OK, retractors. Come on, it's brilliant, guys!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Right, OK...
0:35:12 > 0:35:14ALL GASP AND COUGH
0:35:14 > 0:35:17That is absolutely disgusting! Right, OK.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21What we're going to do... We're going to get down and dirty, OK?
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- Come on, Dr Digby! Sing out please! We need some light relief.- Me?- Yes!
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- You're going to be the donkey. - The donkey?- Yes, that's it!
0:35:27 > 0:35:30You're going to be the donkey, right. Yes, that's an order!
0:35:30 > 0:35:31- Right, yes.- Good.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Saline and suction, please, thank you. Hey!
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- # Jing-a-di-jing! # - Hee-haw, hee-haw.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38# It's Dominic the Donkey! # Louder!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- # Jing-a-di-jing! # - Hee-haw, Hee-haw!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Great! # Christmas Donkey! # Hey, sing!
0:35:43 > 0:35:44# La, la, la
0:35:44 > 0:35:47# La-la-la, la-la, la-la!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50# La, la, la La-la-la, la-la, la-la! #
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Aw... What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve!
0:35:53 > 0:35:58Up to our armpits in excrement while singing top Christmas tunes!
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Ah... LOUD SUCTION
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Dr Digby, I take it all back!
0:36:03 > 0:36:06I think that might actually be a sprout!
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Give me a midazolam, a remifentanil and propofol.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14We'll run propofol - remi-TCI sedation.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Serena.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21It's fine.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24We were on a break. For 13 years.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- I should have told you sooner.- Yes, you should, but I can't blame you
0:36:27 > 0:36:31for taking advantage of Nurse Carter's...largesse.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Right, I want you to nip back home, pick up my Santa outfit.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Not the one with the mini-skirt, Auntie!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Bring my make up, then I can get ready here
0:36:47 > 0:36:49and you can drop me at The Albert.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Don't forget my fags.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54OK, um, the bed manager is hassling me about Christmas,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57so is there anyone on this ward we can discharge?
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Yeah, her for a start.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Actually, I was thinking that maybe we could keep her
0:37:01 > 0:37:03in for observation, you know, for the chest pain.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04What chest pain?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I just heard her asking for fags and planning a night of debauchery?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Exactly. We need to protect her from damaging herself further.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I want that clap-ridden old hag off my ward.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15But she makes her family's life a misery.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18And, to be honest, I actually quite like her.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Since when did we become a dumping ground
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- for Christmas relatives from hell? - Call it my Christmas good deed.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26That elf's really got to you, hasn't he?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- What are you doing tonight?- Hmm?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I am leaving early and I'm going to a Beethoven recital.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41That's only thing I could find that didn't involve jingle bells.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46- I think you've got a more important job to do.- Sorry?- Dr March...
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- I think she needs someone to spend Christmas Eve with.- No, OK.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53She made it absolutely clear what she thinks of Christmas,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55and, erm, yeah, it's not much, so...
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Sometimes people say one thing, but they mean another.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Why do they do that?
0:38:05 > 0:38:08OK, Sam, you are doing brilliantly. Breathing well.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- Inserting the stent now. - All fine at my end.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14You will be home for Christmas, my old son.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Mind you, Christmas isn't Christmas without Morecambe and Wise.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- It used to unite the country. - Just a little further.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23We were all gobsmacked when Angela Rippon, you know,
0:38:23 > 0:38:27came out from behind a news desk with her legs up to her armpits.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- The CO2 seems quite high.- Hmm?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Oh, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41This procedure requires constant adjustment.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Every patient has, um, a different level of tolerance.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46All good.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- She wears this every year? - Every single Christmas.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Ah, there you are. - Yeah, I needed more caffeine
0:38:55 > 0:38:58before I can face seeing Auntie Margie again.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- And is that the, erm...?- Yes. Looks even worse on.- Oh, come on!
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- As long as she's happy - that's the main thing.- Actually, she's not.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07I've just told her she has to stay in.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Oh, thank you!
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Thank you so much!
0:39:13 > 0:39:16You've got no idea what this is going to mean to my family!
0:39:16 > 0:39:19She's better off staying here so we can keep an eye on her.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Plus another night on the tiles is the last thing she needs.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Well, I am going to go pick up her overnight bag.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Don't let her go anywhere! See you later!
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- See you.- Ta-ra.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- So what do you think? Sexy or what? - Oh, yeah, definitely. Very sexy.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Never been called sexy by an elf before.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39HE LAUGHS
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Right. That should do it.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Can you keep the patient still, please?
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Increase sedation!
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Yes.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Yes.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- ALARM BEEPS - Sats falling. 80.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- I'm on it.- Sats 70.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- His breathing's slowing.- Edward?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09I don't understand.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- I'm sure I...- He's cyanotic. CO's very high, Edward.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14OK, he's had too much. We're losing him.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16- Get the on-call anaesthetist, please! - No, no, no!
0:40:16 > 0:40:20We have to open his airway. Every patient is different.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You need to take a break, Mr Campbell.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25You don't understand. The levels are hard to assess in this procedure.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- You don't seem yourself.- I'm fine.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30I'd like you to leave my theatre, please. Now.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33ALARM CONTINUES Edward...
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Thank you. Thank you. - Yes, of course.- Thank you.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Turn the oxygen up.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45ALARM BEEPING SLOWS
0:40:46 > 0:40:48ALARM STOPS
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Dr Digby!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Mr Self...- I need a favour.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Er, yep. - Zosia won't accept this from me.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03- Right.- But she might from you.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05No, no. I really don't think that's, um...
0:41:05 > 0:41:09I promised her mother that she would get it on Christmas Eve.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Right. I really don't understand. Shouldn't her mother just...?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Oh, I see. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Well, Zosia's mother was Polish, you see,
0:41:20 > 0:41:24so we always celebrated Christmas Eve.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27This will be her first Christmas without her.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29It really is important. Please.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Oh, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, of course, yeah.- Thank you.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Look, what happened in theatre, it was a warning. I need a break.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- I need you to be completely honest with me, Edward.- Of course.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49I put myself on the line for you today
0:41:49 > 0:41:51and I need to know that I was justified.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- What are you talking about? - Mary-Claire made an accusation
0:41:54 > 0:41:59- to Ms Sheward that I dismissed out of hand.- What accusation?
0:41:59 > 0:42:00That she'd seen you drinking.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06What?! That girl has completely lost it this time.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- What next - she saw me snort cocaine off the operating table?!- Edward!
0:42:10 > 0:42:11It's all right, I'm on your side.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15I told Colette I would take full responsibility, because I...
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- I trusted you completely. - But you don't now?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Well, why should you? My performance in theatre today was unacceptable.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29I...I just felt so tired!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32I feel completely exhausted.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Christmas burn-out or something.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35But, darling...
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I have not been drinking.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44These weigh a bloody ton!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47It's all there, plus a few more.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Santa was feeling particularly generous.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- How on earth...?- Hey, sorry.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57I promised the big man himself that I wouldn't breathe a word.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- WOMAN: Hey, look, guys. - Hey, hon!- It's Daddy. Look!
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- He's OK! - Hello, boys. What do you want?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09You want to try these one? My silly antlers?
0:43:09 > 0:43:11I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15It's just the kids were going on and on, and I started to panic.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18- Why didn't you ring me? - Just thought I'd get out of here.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20But you're OK now? What did they say?
0:43:20 > 0:43:23- That I can go home. - That's brilliant!
0:43:23 > 0:43:26- I was so worried. - Ah, so, you do love me, then?
0:43:26 > 0:43:27Sometimes.
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Come here.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33And don't worry about the kids' presents, OK?
0:43:33 > 0:43:36- They've enough already. - All done and dusted.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38It's going to be just how I planned.
0:44:19 > 0:44:23Hi there. I need to speak to someone about one of your past employees.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29MUSIC: "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues
0:44:34 > 0:44:36I'm, erm... I'm relying on you all
0:44:36 > 0:44:39to join me for the big Christmas sing song.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43So, er...see you... see you down there, shall I?
0:44:50 > 0:44:53You put that fairy on the tree last year, you remember?
0:44:53 > 0:44:56I couldn't believe you'd never decorated a tree before.
0:44:56 > 0:44:57What about next year, Jonny?
0:44:58 > 0:45:02Well, you'll have your own tree to decorate. For our baby.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Last chance for any requests.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Lonely This Christmas?
0:45:10 > 0:45:11You and me both.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15- SONG BEGINS - May I?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Ooh... - SHE LAUGHS
0:45:20 > 0:45:23- Ah...I've never danced with an elf before.- No?
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Well... First time for everything.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28HE LAUGHS
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- # Try to imagine... # - Merry Christmas, Mo.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35# ..a house that's not a home
0:45:35 > 0:45:39# Try to imagine
0:45:39 > 0:45:42# A Christmas all alone... # SHE SIGHS
0:45:42 > 0:45:46# That's where I'll be since you left me
0:45:46 > 0:45:50# My tears could melt the snow
0:45:50 > 0:45:53# What can I do without you?
0:45:53 > 0:45:57# I got no place, no place to go
0:45:57 > 0:46:01# It'll be lonely this Christmas
0:46:01 > 0:46:04# Without you to hold
0:46:04 > 0:46:08# It'll be lonely this Christmas
0:46:08 > 0:46:11# Lonely and cold
0:46:11 > 0:46:15# It'll be cold, so cold
0:46:15 > 0:46:17# Without you to... #
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Hmm.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34Hi. I got the on-call anaesthetist to cover the rest of my shift.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- I thought that would be best. I'm not on top form.- Right.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39- You said you wanted something large and sparkling.- Edward...
0:46:39 > 0:46:43- It cost a fortune, but I think you're worth it.- Stop it! Please.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46Um...
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Why did you leave your last job?
0:46:51 > 0:46:54There's...there's a gap in your CV.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58I wanted a change. I didn't like the team much.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59What is this?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- I just rang them. - You were checking up on me?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05They said you were dismissed, because of your drinking.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16Yeah, that's true, but that was then. Not now.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18You have to believe me, Serena.
0:47:18 > 0:47:26OK...then you won't mind taking a blood test?
0:47:29 > 0:47:30You're joking?
0:47:32 > 0:47:34- Darling, this is me you're talking to.- I need to know
0:47:34 > 0:47:37that you didn't recklessly put a patient in danger.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41- Serena, please.- If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to lose.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45This is all the evidence you need to close this down right now.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02All right, I had a couple of shots.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04Come on, it's Christmas!
0:48:04 > 0:48:07We both trained under surgeons who had a bottle of red every lunchtime.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10And they're some of the best we've ever come across.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I'm not saying that I do that.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15I'm just...trying to give this thing some perspective.
0:48:16 > 0:48:17Come on, darling.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22Can't we...? Can't we keep this between ourselves?
0:48:25 > 0:48:28You really don't know what you've done, do you?
0:48:38 > 0:48:42MUSIC PLAYS
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Wesolych Swiat!
0:48:44 > 0:48:49Right, um, so I know you said that you didn't really want this,
0:48:49 > 0:48:53but, er, sometimes we really want
0:48:53 > 0:48:58the things we say we don't want, or something. Um, um...
0:48:59 > 0:49:00Um...
0:49:02 > 0:49:05I hope it's, um, OK.
0:49:11 > 0:49:16- How on earth...?- Er, Mr Scanlon. Yeah, he seems to know
0:49:16 > 0:49:21everything one could possibly want to know about Polish Christmas.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25Um, so he said we had to have fish. So voila!
0:49:25 > 0:49:29Er, and I got a tree, er, STOLE a tree, in fact, from Holby Care,
0:49:29 > 0:49:31but they're not going to miss it, let's face it.
0:49:31 > 0:49:35And, um... He also said that...
0:49:35 > 0:49:41a place is laid for a relative who can't make it.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Or for someone who has recently passed away.
0:49:46 > 0:49:51And this is...from your mother.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03Whoosh! ..Who won?
0:50:03 > 0:50:05- Boom! - MOTHER: Wow!
0:50:10 > 0:50:12All you right, you won, then.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Thanks so much, Ms Campbell.
0:50:22 > 0:50:25- Sam says you've been brilliant. - It's been my pleasure.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28I told him he was overdoing it, but he never listens to me.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31- He seems fine now, though. - He's a lot more comfortable.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34I'll make sure he gets a proper rest over Christmas.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37The trouble is, the kids'll be up at five ripping open their stockings
0:50:37 > 0:50:39and jumping all over our bed.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43- It's complete chaos. - That's what Christmas is all about.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45You just enjoy it.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49THEY CHATTER
0:51:02 > 0:51:04SHE GASPS
0:51:13 > 0:51:16Well, it's not...not normally my sort of thing, but, yeah...
0:51:16 > 0:51:18It's very lovely.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Mama gave it to me when I was two.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
0:51:27 > 0:51:32Every year, it would go back in its box until the following year.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35And even then, I wasn't allowed to put it on the tree
0:51:35 > 0:51:39until the very first Christmas Star appeared.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41Gwiazda.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46So I'd sit...
0:51:47 > 0:51:48..and hold it...
0:51:51 > 0:51:53..and stare into the darkness...
0:51:55 > 0:51:56..and wait.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00I was so excited!
0:52:08 > 0:52:11Well... Well, come on... Let's, um...
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Let's have a look, shall we?
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Um...
0:52:27 > 0:52:29There? There?
0:52:35 > 0:52:38SHE SIGHS
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Merry Christmas, Mama.
0:52:43 > 0:52:46You look almost sexy in that.
0:52:46 > 0:52:47Gentlemen prefer blondes.
0:52:47 > 0:52:52- That elf's a gentleman. I think he likes you.- You reckon?
0:52:52 > 0:52:55Yeah, you want to grab him before somebody else does.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Margie, I wish you were my aunt.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01Don't suppose you could sneak me in half a bottle of vodka?
0:53:01 > 0:53:06It is Christmas. Nicky said no. Miserable cow!
0:53:06 > 0:53:09No alcohol on antibiotics. Sorry, mate.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Merry Christmas!
0:53:12 > 0:53:13Fat chance!
0:53:26 > 0:53:30Ha-ha, brilliant! Finally entering into the Christmas spirit, I see?
0:53:30 > 0:53:33- Well, I can't let you have all the fun.- Fantastic!
0:53:33 > 0:53:37Well, I better head back to Gynae. I've been neglecting my patients.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Um, wait. There's something that I wanted to say.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42Yep, me too, actually. Can I go first?
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Sure.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Um...
0:53:46 > 0:53:50I've got a date! Tonight. With Nicky.
0:53:50 > 0:53:54It turns out we share a love for mulled wine and ice skating,
0:53:54 > 0:53:56not at the same time, though, obviously! Ooh!
0:53:57 > 0:54:00What do you think? Is she a bit young for me?
0:54:00 > 0:54:02No. No.
0:54:02 > 0:54:07- I think it's great. Yeah. She seems really nice.- Yeah, yeah!
0:54:07 > 0:54:10- What did you want to say? - Oh, just, um...
0:54:12 > 0:54:13Have a great Christmas.
0:54:16 > 0:54:17Yeah, you too.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43You're suspended. You shouldn't even be on the premises.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45I know I've behaved appallingly. Unforgivably.
0:54:45 > 0:54:49But Elinor wants us together, as a family, for Christmas.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52I'll get treatment. Whatever it takes. Please, Serena.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54We have a future.
0:54:54 > 0:54:56HAD a future.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59Based on lies, deceit, half truths, game playing.
0:54:59 > 0:55:01- All our relationship's ever been...- No, no.
0:55:01 > 0:55:06You use people, Edward! And you let them down again and again.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08And not just me and Elinor, but Mary-Claire, Harry, Mr Chandler!
0:55:08 > 0:55:11- The list's endless! - I know, I know! I'm sorry!
0:55:11 > 0:55:15I took responsibility for you! I risked my career for you!
0:55:15 > 0:55:17- And you have humiliated me! - I'll change.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20- Where have I heard that before? - Look, I see that you're angry,
0:55:20 > 0:55:22but think about Elinor for a second.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25- How do you think she'll react to this?- I've already told her.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27And she wasn't surprised.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29She's used to being disappointed by you.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32- I'm the one who never seems to learn.- Oh, darling...
0:55:34 > 0:55:35I love you.
0:55:37 > 0:55:38It's too late.
0:55:46 > 0:55:51# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:55:51 > 0:55:55# Make the Yuletide gay

0:56:21 > 0:56:23Not at all.
0:56:23 > 0:56:27I wouldn't blame you. You must think I'm a fool.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30No. I admire your loyalty.
0:56:30 > 0:56:32Sadly misplaced.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35We're all fallible. It takes guts to admit it.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Look, if there's anything I can do...
0:56:41 > 0:56:42Thank you.
0:56:44 > 0:56:48Right, are we all ready? Have you all got your, um...? Good.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50Not as good a turnout as I'd expected.
0:56:50 > 0:56:53However, shall we, um, shall we get going, Harry?
0:56:53 > 0:56:55One, two three...
