Let's stop messing around and go back to mine.

0:00:390:00:41

I know you need to be on good terms with your ex-wife

0:00:410:00:44

for your daughter's sake but... come on, we can still be friends.

0:00:440:00:48

Sweetheart, listen... this is not going to happen.

0:00:480:00:51

I need you to back off now.

0:00:510:00:52

-Sats deteriorating. We're losing her.

-Mr Campbell?

0:00:520:00:55

Bronchospasm. Salbutamol, Nurse Carter, quickly.

0:00:550:00:57

I asked Nurse Carter for Oxacillin. She gave me the wrong drug.

0:00:570:01:00

Dr Tressler, did you see what happened?

0:01:000:01:03

-No.

-'Am I missing a piece of the jigsaw here?

0:01:030:01:05

'Cos I don't like fighting blind.'

0:01:050:01:07

-I slept with him.

-'You mess with my nurses, you mess with me.'

0:01:070:01:11

Capiche?

0:01:110:01:12

HE SINGS ALONG TO MARIAH CAREY: # I just want you for my own!

0:01:160:01:19

# More than you can ever know!

0:01:190:01:22

# Make my dreams come true!

0:01:220:01:26

# All I want for Christmas

0:01:260:01:28

# Is you! #

0:01:280:01:30

Yeah, you never could sing in tune.

0:01:300:01:32

And I was thinking you'd be impressed by my spontaneous outpouring of love.

0:01:320:01:35

All I want for Christmas is something large, sparkling

0:01:350:01:38

and set in 24-carat gold.

0:01:380:01:40

Well, there's Santa. You can always ask him.

0:01:400:01:42

KNOCKING ON WINDOW

0:01:420:01:44

Sorry, Ms Campbell?

0:01:460:01:47

-A quick word about the carols, if I may?

-Yes, of course.

0:01:470:01:50

Nice car. Did he get it last Christmas?

0:01:520:01:55

-What...?

-Oh, look what I found!

0:01:580:02:01

THEY GIGGLE

0:02:010:02:02

< You're such an idiot. What is that?

0:02:050:02:07

-Oi!

-What?

0:02:070:02:09

Ouch!

0:02:090:02:10

Mmm!

0:02:110:02:12

Right, um, I've got you down for tomorrow and Boxing Day, right?

0:02:140:02:17

Nope. Vetoed by Elliot.

0:02:170:02:18

So it's turkey twizzlers and party fun at his house. Can't wait.

0:02:180:02:21

So who is working, then?

0:02:210:02:23

What about open house at the Effangas'?

0:02:250:02:28

Er, Cluedo, and eggnog and enough mince pies to feed the 5,000?

0:02:280:02:32

Yeah, I thought I'd give it a rest this year.

0:02:320:02:35

But you love all that stuff!

0:02:350:02:37

It gets a bit boring being good old Auntie Mo.

0:02:370:02:39

My family think all I'm good for is peeling spuds

0:02:390:02:42

and entertaining other people's kids.

0:02:420:02:44

You know, every year, I think, "That'll be me," you know,

0:02:440:02:46

next year, married, engaged even.

0:02:460:02:48

But here we go again, Christmas Eve and no sign of Prince Charming.

0:02:480:02:52

Well, it's not too late, if you just wish hard enough.

0:02:520:02:56

Well, if I find Denzel in my stocking, I'll let you know.

0:02:560:02:59

HE LAUGHS

0:02:590:03:00

MINTS RATTLE

0:03:110:03:12

FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYS Thank you. Merry Christmas.

0:03:170:03:21

-For your poor unfortunates.

-Thank you very much, Edward.

0:03:210:03:24

Oh, can I sign you up for the Christmas Eve singing?

0:03:240:03:27

-Free mince pies and mulled wine?

-Tempting as that sounds,

0:03:270:03:29

we have to leave once our shifts are over.

0:03:290:03:31

Why? I've already said yes.

0:03:310:03:33

You forgot the sugar.

0:03:330:03:35

Oh, Harry, can I sign you up for the carols?

0:03:390:03:42

-Sorry, Prof, really busy day.

-Right.

0:03:420:03:45

-Good morning, Professor.

-Good morning, Nurse O'Flaherty.

0:03:450:03:49

But hey, er... I'll give up my break.

0:03:490:03:52

-It's for a good cause and all that.

-Oh, thank you.

0:03:520:03:55

At least, er, someone understands the importance of community spirit.

0:03:550:03:59

See you later.

0:03:590:04:00

It's only dinner. A few carols won't make a difference.

0:04:000:04:03

Yes, but we're going out to dinner here.

0:04:030:04:05

-Right, but this is in the Cotswolds.

-Yes.

0:04:070:04:11

Which is why we have to leave on time.

0:04:110:04:13

-Three days away.

-But what about Ellie and my mother?

0:04:130:04:17

Your mum's staying at Jennifer's.

0:04:170:04:19

Ellie's coming with us. It's all taken care of.

0:04:190:04:21

Christmas in the Cotswolds.

0:04:210:04:23

Just the three of us. No stress. No work. Just us.

0:04:230:04:26

Hmm?

0:04:260:04:27

# Let it snow, let it snow... #

0:04:270:04:30

-Margie Bennett. 68 years old.

-Got a bit of a cough. That's all.

0:04:300:04:34

She was found asleep on the night bus

0:04:340:04:35

and someone brought her into ED.

0:04:350:04:38

Temperature's 37. She's complaining of chills and a cardiac murmur.

0:04:380:04:42

-Nothing wrong with my heart.

-I'll be the judge of that.

0:04:420:04:45

I went out last night, had a few drinks,

0:04:450:04:48

snogged this bloke, probably picked up something from him.

0:04:480:04:51

-Well, it is Christmas after all, Ms Naylor.

-Exactly!

0:04:510:04:54

And I've got just as much right to have a good time as anyone else!

0:04:540:04:59

70's the new 50, if you hadn't heard.

0:04:590:05:01

Not if you drop dead from heart failure.

0:05:010:05:03

Not staying. Christmas Eve's a big night.

0:05:030:05:06

Spent a fortune on my Santa outfit.

0:05:060:05:09

Well, statistically, you are more likely to die at Christmas

0:05:090:05:12

than other time of the year, but if you want to risk it.

0:05:120:05:14

Better make it quick, then.

0:05:180:05:19

What am I going to do with all the shopping?

0:05:210:05:23

I bought enough food to feed an army.

0:05:230:05:24

Elinor's packing it into the freezer.

0:05:240:05:26

I told you, I've got everything covered.

0:05:260:05:28

You always were alarmingly good at subterfuge.

0:05:280:05:30

-HE LAUGHS

-Can I help you, Ms Sheward?

0:05:300:05:32

I'd like a word with Nurse Carter.

0:05:320:05:34

Yes, wouldn't we all? But I can't see her.

0:05:340:05:36

Don't worry, she'll turn up, eventually.

0:05:360:05:39

I'm not worried.

0:05:390:05:40

Dr Digby! You're a charitably-minded soul.

0:05:460:05:49

-Right, OK, no, if it's about the carols.

-Yes, it is.

0:05:490:05:52

-And I'm sure you and Dr March have wonderful singing voices.

-Me?!

0:05:520:05:55

No, absolutely not, no. Tone deaf, you know!

0:05:550:05:57

I was banned from the school nativity for putting people off.

0:05:570:05:59

-Christmas Zoshie.

-Don't call me that!

0:06:080:06:10

I thought it'd be nice if we spent it together as a family.

0:06:130:06:17

I'm working.

0:06:170:06:18

OK. Boxing Day?

0:06:200:06:21

OK, fine. I get it.

0:06:260:06:28

Well, this is for you anyway.

0:06:280:06:30

I don't want anything from you.

0:06:300:06:33

It's not from me. It's from Mum.

0:06:330:06:35

She wanted you to have it on Christmas Eve.

0:06:350:06:37

BEEP! 'Doors opening.'

0:06:370:06:39

'Lift going up.'

0:06:390:06:41

'Doors closing.'

0:06:410:06:43

You shouldn't have. Didn't think I'd be on your Christmas list.

0:06:530:06:58

Present from a grateful patient.

0:06:580:07:00

Lucky you.

0:07:010:07:02

Wait a minute.

0:07:020:07:04

I, er... I got this for you. It's your favourite perfume.

0:07:040:07:09

To say sorry for, you know...the confusion.

0:07:090:07:13

There is no "confusion". We both know exactly what happened.

0:07:130:07:16

Please, let's not go over this again You... You have to let it go.

0:07:160:07:19

I don't have to do anything!

0:07:190:07:21

Give it to Serena.

0:07:210:07:23

HE UNSCREWS THE BOTTLE

0:07:330:07:35

-Yo, Ms Campbell's asking for you.

-OK, great.

0:07:350:07:38

Dr Digby?

0:07:450:07:47

Oh, no.

0:07:470:07:49

Oh, really?

0:07:510:07:53

-Oh...

-No, no, no!

0:07:530:07:54

Great. Now smile.

0:07:580:08:00

The patients love it!

0:08:010:08:03

Excellent.

0:08:040:08:06

Good.

0:08:060:08:07

Mr Scanlon... Oh, sorry! ..Noel! >

0:08:070:08:09

This is Dr Digby. He's going to be looking after you today.

0:08:090:08:12

Nice baublies!

0:08:120:08:14

Now, Mr Scanlon took a tumble

0:08:140:08:15

whilst trying to fix his electrical problem with his Christmas lights.

0:08:150:08:19

Admitted as a precaution,

0:08:190:08:20

because he's been complaining about intermittent abdominal pain.

0:08:200:08:24

This year, I've got 40,000 lights

0:08:240:08:26

delivering a 20 minute, computer controlled spectacular.

0:08:260:08:29

-Sorry, 40,000 lights? On your house?

-Isn't it awesome?

0:08:290:08:34

Mum started the tradition.

0:08:340:08:35

It began with just a row of icicles on the guttering.

0:08:350:08:38

Now we've got a Ferris wheel, a life-size nativity,

0:08:380:08:42

-artificial snow...

-Any polar bears?

0:08:420:08:44

-One giant one on the roof.

-Daniel loves polar bears!

0:08:440:08:47

Aw! Listen, I'm picking him up later. I'll drive by with the girls.

0:08:470:08:50

Usually, 100 to 150 cars on Christmas Eve,

0:08:500:08:53

so I really do need to get home.

0:08:530:08:54

Well, look, after Dr Digby's checked you over,

0:08:540:08:56

and everything's fine, then...you're good to go!

0:08:560:08:59

Right.

0:08:590:09:01

You've got a connection fault.

0:09:020:09:04

Hmm?

0:09:040:09:06

New admission. Sam Chandler. 34. Found collapsed in the mall car park.

0:09:080:09:12

He's got a fever of 38,

0:09:120:09:15

-nauseous, still waiting for his medical records.

-I feel fine now.

0:09:150:09:18

He was in a great deal of pain. Could hardly move.

0:09:180:09:20

Has this happened before? ..Can I have a torch, please?

0:09:200:09:23

Thank you. ..Do you mind?

0:09:230:09:24

Any health concerns or history we should know about?

0:09:260:09:29

Just tired. Been working too hard.

0:09:290:09:31

-Got three kids.

-Your eyes do look a little jaundiced.

0:09:310:09:35

Not necessarily anything to worry about,

0:09:350:09:36

but it can be a useful warning sign. I'd like to run some tests.

0:09:360:09:39

It's Christmas Eve! My wife's on her own with the kids!

0:09:390:09:41

-I haven't got half the presents yet!

-It shouldn't take long.

0:09:410:09:44

-I'll come back.

-HE GRUNTS IN PAIN

0:09:440:09:46

Ah, Mr Chandler, please, lie down.

0:09:460:09:48

That's it, legs up. Thank you.

0:09:490:09:51

Right, I'm going to need to examine you, all right?

0:09:510:09:54

Ah, there's some swelling here and...

0:09:580:10:02

the gall bladder feels enlarged. I would strongly advise you stay.

0:10:020:10:06

-Anyone you'd like us to call? Your wife?

-No. I'll call her myself.

0:10:060:10:09

Er, I'd like a chest and abdo X-ray. FBCs, U & Es and LFTs.

0:10:090:10:13

Glucose, amylase and calcium.

0:10:130:10:15

We'll do our best to speed things through for you. Harry?

0:10:150:10:19

Just, um, keep a close eye on him for me, will you?

0:10:220:10:25

Of course, Ms Campbell. Not going to miss a trick today.

0:10:250:10:28

-Never mind all that! Just give me some drugs!

-No!

0:10:320:10:36

Where's the bog, then? I'm desperate for a pee!

0:10:360:10:39

Actually, I really need you to shut up and stay still for five seconds.

0:10:390:10:43

Oi! I'm the customer here. You need to learn some manners.

0:10:430:10:47

Right, I can definitely hear a heart murmur.

0:10:470:10:49

My dog had one of those. Didn't do him any harm.

0:10:490:10:53

Your heartbeat has an extra sound caused by disturbed blood flow.

0:10:530:10:56

We just need to investigate further.

0:10:560:10:58

It could be alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

0:10:580:11:00

You cheeky cow! Just cos I like a few drinks!

0:11:000:11:04

That's just one of several possibilities.

0:11:040:11:06

A highly probable one, given your lifestyle.

0:11:060:11:08

You've been looking down your nose ever since I got here!

0:11:080:11:11

And you're no better than you should be,

0:11:110:11:13

you skinny-faced ginger cow!

0:11:130:11:16

Up the duff! No wedding ring? You have something to say, say it!

0:11:160:11:20

-Rotting mutton dressed as lamb comes to mind.

-You. Bed. Now!

0:11:200:11:24

Come on.

0:11:240:11:25

-I can handle her.

-Brawling in your third trimester is off limits.

0:11:280:11:31

Or haven't you got to that chapter yet?

0:11:310:11:33

Leave Granny Godzilla to me, yeah?

0:11:330:11:35

Off to do my stint as a cherubic choirboy.

0:11:480:11:51

-Those days are long gone.

-Well, so are yours, as the Virgin Mary!

0:11:510:11:55

You can pretend all you like that nothing's happened, Harry,

0:11:550:11:59

but it's not OK.

0:11:590:12:00

It'll never be OK.

0:12:000:12:01

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:12:050:12:08

LOUD CRASH MAN: Oh...

0:12:090:12:11

-Oh, no!

-Oh, just a second.

0:12:110:12:14

-Oh...!

-You OK? You OK?

-Oh, no. I hurt myself!

0:12:140:12:17

You got a bloke?

0:12:170:12:19

It's hard to find time to meet anyone in this job.

0:12:190:12:21

You want to get out to Kavos.

0:12:210:12:24

Ayia Napa!

0:12:240:12:26

It's not just for teenagers, you know.

0:12:260:12:28

Hot blokes! Up for anything!

0:12:280:12:31

Even YOU might get some!

0:12:310:12:34

-Thanks(!)

-Actually...

0:12:340:12:36

While I'm here, maybe you could take a look...down there.

0:12:360:12:42

Been having a few problems with my lady bits.

0:12:420:12:45

Sure.

0:12:450:12:47

I don't know how I'm going to get packed in time. Scissors, please.

0:12:490:12:53

-Um, Ms Campbell?

-Yeah?

0:12:550:12:56

I'm so sorry, but Sam Chandler's gone.

0:12:560:12:59

-Gone?

-There was a drunk on the ward. I only turned my back for a second.

0:12:590:13:03

But I specifically asked you to keep an eye on him!

0:13:030:13:05

I know, I'm on the case.

0:13:050:13:07

I know that look.

0:13:100:13:11

-It's nothing. Forget it.

-Don't give me that.

0:13:110:13:13

-Come on, spit it out.

-You know me - live and let live.

0:13:130:13:16

It's just that Mary-Claire

0:13:180:13:20

never seems to have her eye on the ball these days.

0:13:200:13:22

She's late, she's sloppy, she makes mistakes. Serious mistakes.

0:13:220:13:25

Mary-Claire...

0:13:250:13:26

She's a liability.

0:13:270:13:29

-FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYS, HE LAUGHS

-Merry Christmas!

-Merry Christmas!

0:13:310:13:35

-Tell me I'm hallucinating.

-Afraid not.

0:13:350:13:38

# Merry Christmas, everyone! #

0:13:380:13:39

-How are you?

-Can you turn that off, please?

0:13:390:13:41

-There are people trying to die!

-What?!

0:13:410:13:43

-We all love a bit of Shaky, right?

-SONG CONTINUES

0:13:430:13:46

For Elliot's charity - £1 a play. Any Christmas song you like.

0:13:460:13:50

-Come on!

-I'll pay you not to play any of them.

0:13:500:13:52

-Oh...

-Mr T! HE SWITCHES IT OFF

0:13:540:13:56

Hiya!

0:13:560:13:58

Well, I best be off, friends.

0:13:580:14:00

I've still got lots of toys to make in the workshop!

0:14:060:14:08

Mr Self called for you, but he'll call again.

0:14:080:14:11

OK, thank you.

0:14:110:14:14

Right, patient review on Keller. Got an irregular rhythm.

0:14:140:14:17

-Can I go? Please?

-Yes, be my guest.

0:14:170:14:19

Ah, Mrs Bennett! Let's take a look at you, shall we?

0:14:220:14:25

I don't want an elf looking up me wotsit!

0:14:250:14:28

Oh, well, we elves make excellent doctors, you know.

0:14:280:14:31

Oh, yeah, due to our magical abilities! Ha-ha!

0:14:310:14:35

Er...yeah.

0:14:350:14:36

Legs akimbo, please.

0:14:370:14:39

# Have a holly, jolly Christmas And when you walk down the street

0:14:390:14:44

# Say hello to friends you know and everyone you meet... #

0:14:440:14:49

Yeah, Chandler. So you'll hold the dinosaur?

0:14:490:14:52

Yeah, I'm coming now.

0:14:520:14:54

-15 minutes max.

-HE GRUNTS IN PAIN

0:14:560:14:58

Ow...!

0:14:580:14:59

-OK, come on. Let's get you back inside, mate.

-I'm fine!

0:15:010:15:04

-You're burning up!

-Josh wants a dinosaur! They're holding it!

0:15:040:15:07

-I have to get there!

-You can try, but you'll just

0:15:070:15:09

end up back in an ambulance if you don't let us help you.

0:15:090:15:11

-Come on, let's go back in, yeah? SOFTLY:

-OK.

0:15:110:15:14

He had a raised cardiac rhythm. Probably nothing,

0:15:170:15:19

but post electrocution, I thought we should check it out.

0:15:190:15:22

Well, I'm grateful for the escape. It's like Santa's Grotto on Darwin.

0:15:220:15:26

Desperate for a bit of pain and misery.

0:15:260:15:28

Ah, probably not your ideal patient, then.

0:15:280:15:31

Thought I'd cheer the place up a bit. I've got a spare!

0:15:310:15:34

It'll make you look more festive.

0:15:340:15:36

Er...ahem...

0:15:360:15:38

Low level current can affect cardiac rhythm,

0:15:380:15:42

-so we'll need to order an ECG.

-But I need to get home.

0:15:420:15:46

-Any shortness of breath, Mr Scanlon?

-Please, call me Noel.

0:15:460:15:49

I was born at Christmas, hence the name.

0:15:490:15:51

So was my mother Natalie,

0:15:510:15:52

from the original Latin, Natalia, meaning Christmas Day,

0:15:520:15:55

so it's always been a big thing for both of us.

0:15:550:15:57

Hmm, yes, I think Christmas is a meaningless farce.

0:15:570:15:59

So I'd really appreciate it if you could just answer my questions

0:15:590:16:02

-and let me get on with my job.

-Bit harsh, maybe?

0:16:020:16:04

I'll arrange the ECG.

0:16:060:16:07

Ah, panic over. Harry found Mr Chandler outside.

0:16:090:16:12

His results.

0:16:120:16:13

White blood count's raised.

0:16:150:16:17

Bilirubin, glucose and amylase likewise.

0:16:170:16:19

Haemoglobin down.

0:16:190:16:20

-Where's his X-ray?

-Well, he missed his slot.

0:16:220:16:24

Because someone wasn't doing their job properly.

0:16:240:16:26

I was rushed off my feet!

0:16:260:16:27

And now this vulnerable patient needs urgent treatment.

0:16:270:16:30

-It could've happened to anyone.

-True.

0:16:300:16:31

But as Mr Campbell reminded me,

0:16:310:16:33

there's a very long list of your mistakes.

0:16:330:16:36

Your little walkabout was not a good idea.

0:16:430:16:45

Just give me something to deal with the pain.

0:16:450:16:48

Not possible until we know exactly what's causing it.

0:16:480:16:50

I'll come back, Boxing Day.

0:16:500:16:52

We need to scan you, then we'll take a view.

0:16:520:16:54

-I don't need a scan!

-Oh, humour us, please, Mr Chandler.

0:16:540:16:57

-A CT scan will take half an hour tops.

-That's too long!

0:16:570:17:00

I need to be with my family!

0:17:000:17:02

I'll sign anything!

0:17:020:17:04

Take full responsibility.

0:17:040:17:05

But there may be some serious underlying cause.

0:17:050:17:08

I know the underlying cause!

0:17:080:17:10

Your scan identified some abscesses on your heart tissue.

0:17:130:17:17

-What?

-It could be something called endocarditis.

0:17:170:17:20

-Is it serious?

-Not necessarily.

0:17:200:17:22

-Then I'm going.

-I would thoroughly recommend

0:17:220:17:25

you stay for further investigation, just to be sure.

0:17:250:17:27

Oh, no! It's that bleeding Elf again!

0:17:270:17:30

Mind you... he's got lovely soft hands.

0:17:310:17:35

SHE LAUGHS

0:17:350:17:36

-You fancy him!

-Me? No way!

0:17:360:17:39

Good, cos I reckon he's gay.

0:17:390:17:42

And even if he isn't, you can never trust blokes who like a costume!

0:17:420:17:47

They end up wearing your knickers and calling themselves Daphne.

0:17:470:17:51

SHE LAUGHS

0:17:510:17:52

Just give me some antibiotics, elf boy!

0:17:520:17:55

There's going to be loads of blokes at the party tonight!

0:17:550:17:59

I don't want to miss out.

0:17:590:18:00

She might want to take a rain check on that, you know.

0:18:000:18:02

-She's got gonorrhoea.

-Not it!

0:18:040:18:06

-What?! She's your patient!

-Oh...

0:18:060:18:09

-All right, call security if this gets messy.

-OK.

0:18:090:18:12

Margie!

0:18:130:18:14

Got some results for you.

0:18:140:18:16

And?

0:18:160:18:17

Right, this is very rare, but the bacteria in your heart tissue

0:18:170:18:20

is related to another infection.

0:18:200:18:22

Which is?

0:18:240:18:25

Gonorrhoea.

0:18:260:18:27

Now, er, we realise this must come as bit of a shock to you...

0:18:270:18:31

Nah, I've had the clap a couple of times!

0:18:310:18:34

I blame the blokes in Kavos. They don't like wearing johnnies.

0:18:340:18:38

Ah! Well, for someone with such an active sex life,

0:18:380:18:42

you really should think about using protection and...

0:18:420:18:45

This is hilarious! Getting sex advice from a bleeding elf!

0:18:450:18:49

LAUGHTER

0:18:490:18:51

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:18:510:18:53

Nicky!

0:18:540:18:56

Where the hell have you been?

0:18:560:18:58

Er... HE LAUGHS

0:18:580:19:00

-You think you've seen it all.

-Yeah, and then you meet a Margie.

0:19:000:19:03

SHE LAUGHS

0:19:030:19:05

I've just spoken to your oncologist.

0:19:050:19:07

As you know, your pancreatic cancer is fairly advanced.

0:19:070:19:10

And it's going to kill me. Very soon.

0:19:100:19:12

Which is why I have to get out of here.

0:19:120:19:14

You'd be leaving against medical advice.

0:19:140:19:16

I just need something to take the edge off.

0:19:160:19:19

Well, there's the possibility of doing a palliative bypass,

0:19:190:19:22

which would mean surgery and some weeks of recovery.

0:19:220:19:25

And then I die anyway.

0:19:250:19:27

-No, thanks.

-If you leave now, the pain could be hard to cope with.

0:19:270:19:31

I'll handle it.

0:19:310:19:32

I understand how important this Christmas is,

0:19:340:19:37

but if you need treatment, surely your wife would want you to have it?

0:19:370:19:41

She doesn't know.

0:19:450:19:46

-Ah.

-I was diagnosed two weeks ago.

0:19:480:19:51

I've got three months. Maybe six.

0:19:510:19:53

I was going to tell her.

0:19:550:19:56

But then, I thought, why not just have one last Christmas?

0:19:560:19:59

Everyone happy.

0:19:590:20:00

Me and the kids smiling in the photographs.

0:20:010:20:04

That's not going to be easy, Sam.

0:20:040:20:07

I know I can do it!

0:20:070:20:08

But I need your help.

0:20:100:20:12

I thought you wanted to be friends, make everything hunky dory?

0:20:120:20:15

-So why are you stirring things with the missus?

-OK.

0:20:150:20:18

All I want is for you to be sensible.

0:20:180:20:20

I liked you, do you know that? How stupid was I?

0:20:210:20:24

Sweetheart, I was fond of you too. I still am.

0:20:240:20:26

I wonder what Serena would say if she knew how fond of me you really were.

0:20:280:20:31

-I've told....

-Have you picked up Mr Chandler's scans from oncology?

0:20:310:20:34

Not yet. Just having a catch up with Mr Campbell.

0:20:340:20:37

Am I going to have to get them myself?

0:20:380:20:40

You have an aura of sadness about you.

0:20:460:20:48

Your ECG's results are fine.

0:20:510:20:53

-Like the ones in the ED.

-I can see it. It's like a dark green glow.

0:20:530:20:57

I don't think the abdominal pain you're experiencing

0:20:570:21:00

is related to the electrocution.

0:21:000:21:01

I inherited the ability to see auras from my mother. Now Mr Levy...

0:21:010:21:05

His aura's yellow. The sign of optimism and hopefulness.

0:21:050:21:08

But dark green indicates resentment,

0:21:080:21:10

feeling like a victim of the world, blaming self or others.

0:21:100:21:14

We need to order you a CT scan,

0:21:140:21:16

see if there's another cause unrelated to your accident.

0:21:160:21:19

My mother inherited healing powers too,

0:21:190:21:21

but I don't think I've got the gift.

0:21:210:21:22

If your mother has such amazing insight,

0:21:220:21:24

why doesn't she treat you instead of me?

0:21:240:21:26

She passed away five years ago.

0:21:260:21:29

-I carry on the Christmas traditions in her memory.

-Um...

0:21:290:21:33

I will book your CT.

0:21:340:21:36

Are you on board for a little rogue malpractice?

0:22:080:22:10

Mary-Claire's finally dropped off Mr Chandler's scans.

0:22:100:22:13

-I'd say three months is optimistic.

-Poor chap.

0:22:130:22:16

Yes, he should be admitted. No question, but...

0:22:160:22:19

-I'd be prepared to go out on a limb, if you are.

-What are you suggesting?

0:22:190:22:23

A therapeutic ERCP should allow the bile to drain sufficiently

0:22:230:22:26

to ease his pain and, well, get him through tomorrow at least.

0:22:260:22:29

-Let's do it.

-Good. I will get them to rearrange theatre.

0:22:290:22:33

-Serena.

-Yeah?

-Can I have a word in private?

0:22:330:22:36

-Sure, I'll just... I'll meet you in the office?

-Yeah.

0:22:360:22:39

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, about your mother.

0:22:460:22:50

I'm sorry you feel so sad.

0:22:500:22:52

They're not quite ready for us.

0:22:580:23:01

You don't have to wait.

0:23:010:23:02

My mother died in April.

0:23:170:23:19

Sorry. I don't usually talk about it.

0:23:230:23:25

Sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers.

0:23:250:23:28

This is my first Christmas without her.

0:23:290:23:32

She was Polish, so Christmas Eve was always really important.

0:23:320:23:37

Wiglia - the traditional Polish Christmas Eve supper.

0:23:370:23:41

You eat fish, traditionally carp, with little bits of hay spread

0:23:410:23:46

beneath the tablecloth as a reminder that Christ was born in a stable.

0:23:460:23:51

How did you know that?

0:23:510:23:53

I know the Christmas traditions of every country in the world.

0:23:530:23:56

I could be on Mastermind.

0:23:560:23:58

I really miss her.

0:24:020:24:04

It gets easier.

0:24:070:24:08

Oh, sorry. They've got a temp booking theatre slots. What is it?

0:24:170:24:20

Edward, you're worrying me now.

0:24:250:24:27

The thing is, I should've told you about this before.

0:24:270:24:30

-Told me what?

-Mary-Claire...

0:24:300:24:33

We had a thing, a brief...

0:24:330:24:35

Course you did.

0:24:380:24:40

Well, you didn't want anything to do with me. It was nothing.

0:24:400:24:43

The point is that she seems to have expected it

0:24:430:24:45

to have developed into something more

0:24:450:24:47

and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

0:24:470:24:50

The reason I'm telling you this,

0:24:500:24:52

because I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose you.

0:24:520:24:55

And Elinor.

0:24:550:24:56

I'm worried.

0:24:560:24:59

I think there's nothing she wouldn't do to discredit me right now.

0:24:590:25:02

I need to tell Mr Chandler the good news.

0:25:050:25:07

Serena...

0:25:090:25:10

-Mr Campbell, they're waiting for you in the anaesthetics room.

-Good.

0:25:420:25:46

Ladies and gentleman,

0:25:590:26:00

as part of our Holby Goes Ho Ho Ho at Christmas Campaign,

0:26:000:26:04

I will play you any song you like from this list for £1.

0:26:040:26:08

Get you in the festive spirit! What do you think? Anybody?

0:26:080:26:12

What about you, Margie? Come on! You like a party, don't you?

0:26:120:26:15

Yeah, but I can't stand all that Bing Crosby, Cliff Richard garbage.

0:26:150:26:19

At least have a look at the list, will you?

0:26:190:26:22

All right, I'll give you a quid for that one.

0:26:250:26:27

But you've got to do the actions.

0:26:270:26:30

-It's not very Christmassy, though, is it?

-But it's for charity.

0:26:300:26:33

0:27:170:27:20

Mr Thompson, just Christmas songs from now on, please. Thank you.

0:27:200:27:24

-Oh!

-That was really nice.

0:27:240:27:26

Oh!

0:27:260:27:28

Harry?

0:27:280:27:29

Um...

0:27:290:27:31

Have you ever seen Edward drinking at work?

0:27:310:27:33

-What?!

-I saw him just now with a bottle of vodka.

0:27:330:27:37

Look, come on! I know you don't like the bloke,

0:27:370:27:39

but this paranoia is getting a tad tedious.

0:27:390:27:42

Tedious? Well, thanks again for all your support, Harry.

0:27:420:27:45

It's really much appreciated.

0:27:450:27:46

Oh, you forgot the next of kin bit.

0:27:520:27:55

If I put my wife down, will she need to know the truth?

0:27:550:27:58

No, but, um, it's probably a good idea to let her know where you are.

0:27:580:28:03

I mean, I could call her, if you like,

0:28:030:28:05

say you're in for a minor operation. A blocked duct or something.

0:28:050:28:08

I'm not averse to telling the odd porkie pie.

0:28:080:28:11

Never thought I'd get married, let alone have kids.

0:28:110:28:14

When Jess fell pregnant, I was so angry, thought my life was over...

0:28:160:28:20

But now, they're my world.

0:28:220:28:24

You're going to be OK? Not long now.

0:28:250:28:27

I haven't always got things right.

0:28:270:28:30

Which is why this Christmas had to be perfect.

0:28:300:28:33

Fridge full, huge pile of toys under the tree.

0:28:330:28:35

Couldn't even manage that.

0:28:390:28:40

Maybe I could.

0:28:440:28:46

Here, give me that list.

0:28:460:28:48

There's a definite blockage in the large intestine

0:28:490:28:52

and what appears to be a blood clot.

0:28:520:28:54

-But as we thought, your heart looks reasonably normal.

-I see.

0:28:540:28:58

-Right, don't take this the wrong way, Mr Scanlon.

-Noel, Please.

-Noel.

0:28:580:29:03

But you are a little on the heavy side, um...

0:29:030:29:06

Now that might have a bearing on the situation, um...

0:29:060:29:09

Could you tell us about your current diet?

0:29:090:29:11

This time of year, I probably eat about five Christmas dinners a week.

0:29:110:29:14

Maybe six. I can't help it! Shops are full of Christmas stuff.

0:29:140:29:19

Yule logs. Stiltons. Huge bags of sprouts.

0:29:190:29:22

-Sprouts?

-I love 'em. Soups. Curries. Stir fries.

0:29:220:29:25

And they're brilliant with a Full English.

0:29:250:29:27

-I probably eat them with every meal.

-That's a lot of sprouts.

0:29:270:29:31

-But that's a good thing, isn't it?

-Not that many, no.

0:29:310:29:34

-Um, sprouts are high in vitamin...

-K.

0:29:340:29:38

Yes! So the fatty foods have clogged up your intestine. Yes!

0:29:400:29:45

And it's just possible that the blood clot is linked to

0:29:450:29:49

an overdose of vitamin K, brought on by excess consumption of sprouts!

0:29:490:29:53

Oh!

0:29:530:29:55

What? That is theoretically possible.

0:29:570:29:59

Thank you very much indeed. That's very, very kind of you.

0:30:010:30:04

-Oh!

-Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas to you. Thank you very much indeed.

0:30:040:30:09

Harry, it's me, Professor Hope.

0:30:090:30:12

I hear excellent reports of your singing.

0:30:120:30:14

I wonder if we could count on you for a solo later?

0:30:140:30:17

-Going to start with Silent Night.

-Sure. No problem.

0:30:170:30:20

-Ah, little boy, here's a present for you.

-Or, have this one.

0:30:200:30:24

It's much better. Trust me.

0:30:240:30:27

-WOMAN: What do you say?

-Thank you.

-Good boy.

0:30:270:30:29

Oh, better put this on. Ho ho ho!

0:30:290:30:32

Professor Hope, your sack's looking heavy.

0:30:320:30:34

I'm happy to off-load some of it for you, if you like.

0:30:340:30:37

That's very kind of you, thank you very much.

0:30:370:30:39

If only everyone was as public spirited as you. Ho ho ho!

0:30:390:30:43

I've been in this game a long time, Dr Digby, but it's fair to say

0:30:450:30:48

I've never encountered, ahem, a Brussels sprouts overdose before.

0:30:480:30:52

Process of elimination, Mr Levy.

0:30:520:30:54

So what happens now?

0:30:540:30:56

Well, you're going to need a procedure to fix your bowel,

0:30:560:30:58

-which means staying in overnight, I'm afraid.

-I see.

0:30:580:31:01

-Sorry about your lights.

-Not the end of the world.

0:31:010:31:03

My neighbour Ted knows how it all works.

0:31:030:31:05

Well, I know it's not ideal, but on behalf of the ward, it would be

0:31:050:31:08

amazing to have the benefit of your infectious Christmas spirit

0:31:080:31:11

-for just a little while longer.

-Glad to be of service.

0:31:110:31:14

It's a hard time to be on your own.

0:31:140:31:15

HE SIGHS

0:31:220:31:24

-Everyone's in theatre. They're all asking for you.

-Fine.

0:31:350:31:38

You wouldn't give us a sip of your water, would you?

0:31:400:31:42

I've been dashing around like a maniac all day, dying of thirst.

0:31:420:31:45

I'm not well. I wouldn't want to ruin your Christmas.

0:31:450:31:47

It's not water, is it?

0:31:470:31:48

Listen, when are you going to understand?

0:31:500:31:52

You've got to stop making these ridiculous accusations

0:31:520:31:55

if you want to save your career. Nobody believes a word you say.

0:31:550:31:58

Well, we'll see about that, shall we?

0:31:590:32:02

Get out the way!

0:32:020:32:04

-HE LAUGHS:

-Well, what can I say, it was the Christmas spirit!

0:32:080:32:12

-You shouldn't have kept your hat on.

-THEY LAUGH

0:32:120:32:14

-Hi, can I help?

-I'm Margie Bennett's niece - Nicky.

-Ah, Ms Effanga.

0:32:140:32:18

I've had the extraordinary experience of treating her.

0:32:180:32:22

-You're Nicky? She's been trying to get hold of you all day.

-I know.

0:32:220:32:25

Yeah, don't worry. He is a real doctor.

0:32:260:32:28

Oh, yeah, sorry. Mr Thompson.

0:32:290:32:32

-Her gynaecologist.

-I thought it was a heart problem?

0:32:320:32:36

Yeah, her murmur we found out was to do with, um... It was to do with...

0:32:360:32:41

-What was it?

-An infection.

-An infection.

-An infection.

-Yep.

0:32:410:32:45

She can go home later.

0:32:450:32:47

You're joking?

0:32:470:32:49

SHE SIGHS: My family are going to be so gutted!

0:32:490:32:51

-What?

-We thought we might get a year off!

0:32:510:32:53

I don't suppose there's any way you could just keep her in, could you?

0:32:560:33:00

-Excuse me, could I have a word, please?

-Sure. Excuse me.

0:33:020:33:05

OK, let's go into my office.

0:33:080:33:09

Well, I hope this is important.

0:33:190:33:22

One of my nurses has made an extremely serious allegation

0:33:230:33:26

-against Mr Campbell.

-Nurse Carter, by any chance?

0:33:260:33:29

What's he supposed to have done?

0:33:290:33:31

She believes she saw him drinking alcohol in this office.

0:33:310:33:34

Yes, and I believe in fairies, but it doesn't make them real.

0:33:340:33:37

Did she see him or didn't she?

0:33:370:33:40

She can't be 100% certain, which is why I came to you.

0:33:400:33:43

Well, I've been working with Mr Campbell all day,

0:33:430:33:46

-so it's completely ridiculous.

-Well, why would she lie?

0:33:460:33:48

Nurse Carter had a brief affair with Mr Campbell which he chose to end.

0:33:510:33:56

-Yes, I'm aware of that.

-If you knew the answer, why ask the question?

0:33:560:34:02

Anyway, she's obviously out to discredit him in any way she can.

0:34:020:34:06

Well, what do you suggest I do? Because I can't just ignore it.

0:34:060:34:09

As Deputy CEO, I am more than happy to accept full responsibility

0:34:090:34:13

for Mr Campbell's fitness to work.

0:34:130:34:15

And I would like Nurse Carter removed from my ward,

0:34:150:34:18

with immediate effect.

0:34:180:34:19

Right, time to deal with the damage done by those evil sprouts.

0:34:330:34:37

MUSIC: "Dominic the Donkey"

0:34:370:34:40

# Santa's got a little friend His name is Dominic

0:34:400:34:44

# The cutest little donkey You never saw him kick... #

0:34:440:34:47

-SINGING CONTINUES

-Please, Mr Levy.

-Maybe some carols?

0:34:470:34:51

No, hang on a second, wait a second.

0:34:510:34:53

This is the chorus! It's brilliant! It's the best bit, ready?

0:34:530:34:56

# Hey, jing-a-di-jing Hee-haw! Hee-haw!

0:34:560:34:59

# It's Dominic the donkey... # Now you!

0:34:590:35:02

-What?

-# Hee-haw! Hee-haw! #

0:35:020:35:05

OK, retractors. Come on, it's brilliant, guys!

0:35:050:35:08

Right, OK...

0:35:080:35:10

ALL GASP AND COUGH

0:35:120:35:14

That is absolutely disgusting! Right, OK.

0:35:140:35:17

What we're going to do... We're going to get down and dirty, OK?

0:35:170:35:21

-Come on, Dr Digby! Sing out please! We need some light relief.

-Me?

-Yes!

0:35:210:35:25

-You're going to be the donkey.

-The donkey?

-Yes, that's it!

0:35:250:35:27

You're going to be the donkey, right. Yes, that's an order!

0:35:270:35:30

-Right, yes.

-Good.

0:35:300:35:31

Saline and suction, please, thank you. Hey!

0:35:310:35:34

-# Jing-a-di-jing! #

-Hee-haw, hee-haw.

0:35:340:35:36

# It's Dominic the Donkey! # Louder!

0:35:360:35:38

-# Jing-a-di-jing! #

-Hee-haw, Hee-haw!

0:35:380:35:40

Great! # Christmas Donkey! # Hey, sing!

0:35:400:35:43

# La, la, la

0:35:430:35:44

# La-la-la, la-la, la-la!

0:35:440:35:47

# La, la, la La-la-la, la-la, la-la! #

0:35:470:35:50

Aw... What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve!

0:35:500:35:53

Up to our armpits in excrement while singing top Christmas tunes!

0:35:530:35:58

Ah... LOUD SUCTION

0:35:580:36:01

Dr Digby, I take it all back!

0:36:010:36:03

I think that might actually be a sprout!

0:36:030:36:06

Give me a midazolam, a remifentanil and propofol.

0:36:080:36:12

We'll run propofol - remi-TCI sedation.

0:36:120:36:14

Serena.

0:36:160:36:18

It's fine.

0:36:190:36:21

We were on a break. For 13 years.

0:36:210:36:24

-I should have told you sooner.

-Yes, you should, but I can't blame you

0:36:240:36:27

for taking advantage of Nurse Carter's...largesse.

0:36:270:36:31

Right, I want you to nip back home, pick up my Santa outfit.

0:36:390:36:43

Not the one with the mini-skirt, Auntie!

0:36:430:36:45

Bring my make up, then I can get ready here

0:36:450:36:47

and you can drop me at The Albert.

0:36:470:36:49

Don't forget my fags.

0:36:490:36:51

OK, um, the bed manager is hassling me about Christmas,

0:36:510:36:54

so is there anyone on this ward we can discharge?

0:36:540:36:57

Yeah, her for a start.

0:36:570:36:58

Actually, I was thinking that maybe we could keep her

0:36:580:37:01

in for observation, you know, for the chest pain.

0:37:010:37:03

What chest pain?

0:37:030:37:04

I just heard her asking for fags and planning a night of debauchery?

0:37:040:37:07

Exactly. We need to protect her from damaging herself further.

0:37:070:37:10

I want that clap-ridden old hag off my ward.

0:37:100:37:13

But she makes her family's life a misery.

0:37:130:37:15

And, to be honest, I actually quite like her.

0:37:150:37:18

Since when did we become a dumping ground

0:37:180:37:20

-for Christmas relatives from hell?

-Call it my Christmas good deed.

0:37:200:37:24

That elf's really got to you, hasn't he?

0:37:240:37:26

-What are you doing tonight?

-Hmm?

0:37:320:37:35

I am leaving early and I'm going to a Beethoven recital.

0:37:350:37:38

That's only thing I could find that didn't involve jingle bells.

0:37:380:37:41

-I think you've got a more important job to do.

-Sorry?

-Dr March...

0:37:410:37:46

-I think she needs someone to spend Christmas Eve with.

-No, OK.

0:37:460:37:50

She made it absolutely clear what she thinks of Christmas,

0:37:500:37:53

and, erm, yeah, it's not much, so...

0:37:530:37:55

Sometimes people say one thing, but they mean another.

0:37:550:37:58

Why do they do that?

0:38:030:38:05

OK, Sam, you are doing brilliantly. Breathing well.

0:38:050:38:08

-Inserting the stent now.

-All fine at my end.

0:38:080:38:12

You will be home for Christmas, my old son.

0:38:120:38:14

Mind you, Christmas isn't Christmas without Morecambe and Wise.

0:38:140:38:18

-It used to unite the country.

-Just a little further.

0:38:180:38:20

We were all gobsmacked when Angela Rippon, you know,

0:38:200:38:23

came out from behind a news desk with her legs up to her armpits.

0:38:230:38:27

-The CO2 seems quite high.

-Hmm?

0:38:300:38:32

Oh, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine.

0:38:360:38:38

This procedure requires constant adjustment.

0:38:380:38:41

Every patient has, um, a different level of tolerance.

0:38:410:38:44

All good.

0:38:450:38:46

-She wears this every year?

-Every single Christmas.

0:38:490:38:52

-Ah, there you are.

-Yeah, I needed more caffeine

0:38:520:38:55

before I can face seeing Auntie Margie again.

0:38:550:38:58

-And is that the, erm...?

-Yes. Looks even worse on.

-Oh, come on!

0:38:580:39:02

-As long as she's happy - that's the main thing.

-Actually, she's not.

0:39:020:39:05

I've just told her she has to stay in.

0:39:050:39:07

Oh, thank you!

0:39:100:39:11

Thank you so much!

0:39:110:39:13

You've got no idea what this is going to mean to my family!

0:39:130:39:16

She's better off staying here so we can keep an eye on her.

0:39:160:39:19

Plus another night on the tiles is the last thing she needs.

0:39:190:39:22

Well, I am going to go pick up her overnight bag.

0:39:220:39:24

Don't let her go anywhere! See you later!

0:39:240:39:26

-See you.

-Ta-ra.

0:39:260:39:28

-So what do you think? Sexy or what?

-Oh, yeah, definitely. Very sexy.

0:39:310:39:35

Never been called sexy by an elf before.

0:39:350:39:37

HE LAUGHS

0:39:370:39:39

Right. That should do it.

0:39:420:39:44

Can you keep the patient still, please?

0:39:450:39:48

Increase sedation!

0:39:480:39:49

Yes.

0:39:490:39:51

Yes.

0:39:550:39:56

-ALARM BEEPS

-Sats falling. 80.

0:40:010:40:03

-I'm on it.

-Sats 70.

0:40:030:40:05

-His breathing's slowing.

-Edward?

0:40:050:40:07

I don't understand.

0:40:070:40:09

-I'm sure I...

-He's cyanotic. CO's very high, Edward.

0:40:090:40:11

OK, he's had too much. We're losing him.

0:40:110:40:14

-Get the on-call anaesthetist, please!

-No, no, no!

0:40:140:40:16

We have to open his airway. Every patient is different.

0:40:160:40:20

You need to take a break, Mr Campbell.

0:40:200:40:22

You don't understand. The levels are hard to assess in this procedure.

0:40:220:40:25

-You don't seem yourself.

-I'm fine.

0:40:250:40:27

I'd like you to leave my theatre, please. Now.

0:40:270:40:30

ALARM CONTINUES Edward...

0:40:300:40:33

-Thank you. Thank you.

-Yes, of course.

-Thank you.

0:40:340:40:37

Turn the oxygen up.

0:40:370:40:39

ALARM BEEPING SLOWS

0:40:430:40:45

ALARM STOPS

0:40:460:40:48

Dr Digby!

0:40:530:40:55

-Mr Self...

-I need a favour.

0:40:550:40:57

-Er, yep.

-Zosia won't accept this from me.

0:40:570:41:01

-Right.

-But she might from you.

0:41:010:41:03

No, no. I really don't think that's, um...

0:41:030:41:05

I promised her mother that she would get it on Christmas Eve.

0:41:050:41:09

Right. I really don't understand. Shouldn't her mother just...?

0:41:090:41:12

Oh, I see. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn't know. I didn't know.

0:41:150:41:18

Well, Zosia's mother was Polish, you see,

0:41:180:41:20

so we always celebrated Christmas Eve.

0:41:200:41:24

This will be her first Christmas without her.

0:41:240:41:27

It really is important. Please.

0:41:270:41:29

-Oh, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, of course, yeah.

-Thank you.

0:41:290:41:32

Look, what happened in theatre, it was a warning. I need a break.

0:41:420:41:45

-I need you to be completely honest with me, Edward.

-Of course.

0:41:450:41:48

I put myself on the line for you today

0:41:480:41:49

and I need to know that I was justified.

0:41:490:41:51

-What are you talking about?

-Mary-Claire made an accusation

0:41:510:41:54

-to Ms Sheward that I dismissed out of hand.

-What accusation?

0:41:540:41:59

That she'd seen you drinking.

0:41:590:42:00

What?! That girl has completely lost it this time.

0:42:020:42:06

-What next - she saw me snort cocaine off the operating table?!

-Edward!

0:42:060:42:10

It's all right, I'm on your side.

0:42:100:42:11

I told Colette I would take full responsibility, because I...

0:42:110:42:15

-I trusted you completely.

-But you don't now?

0:42:150:42:18

Well, why should you? My performance in theatre today was unacceptable.

0:42:210:42:25

I...I just felt so tired!

0:42:250:42:29

I feel completely exhausted.

0:42:290:42:32

Christmas burn-out or something.

0:42:320:42:34

But, darling...

0:42:340:42:35

I have not been drinking.

0:42:360:42:38

These weigh a bloody ton!

0:42:420:42:44

It's all there, plus a few more.

0:42:450:42:47

Santa was feeling particularly generous.

0:42:470:42:49

-How on earth...?

-Hey, sorry.

0:42:510:42:53

I promised the big man himself that I wouldn't breathe a word.

0:42:530:42:57

-WOMAN: Hey, look, guys.

-Hey, hon!

-It's Daddy. Look!

0:42:580:43:02

-He's OK!

-Hello, boys. What do you want?

0:43:020:43:05

You want to try these one? My silly antlers?

0:43:070:43:09

I'm sorry I gave you such a hard time.

0:43:090:43:11

It's just the kids were going on and on, and I started to panic.

0:43:110:43:15

-Why didn't you ring me?

-Just thought I'd get out of here.

0:43:150:43:18

But you're OK now? What did they say?

0:43:180:43:20

-That I can go home.

-That's brilliant!

0:43:200:43:23

-I was so worried.

-Ah, so, you do love me, then?

0:43:230:43:26

Sometimes.

0:43:260:43:27

Come here.

0:43:270:43:28

And don't worry about the kids' presents, OK?

0:43:310:43:33

-They've enough already.

-All done and dusted.

0:43:330:43:36

It's going to be just how I planned.

0:43:360:43:38

Hi there. I need to speak to someone about one of your past employees.

0:44:190:44:23

MUSIC: "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues

0:44:260:44:29

I'm, erm... I'm relying on you all

0:44:340:44:36

to join me for the big Christmas sing song.

0:44:360:44:39

So, er...see you... see you down there, shall I?

0:44:390:44:43

You put that fairy on the tree last year, you remember?

0:44:500:44:53

I couldn't believe you'd never decorated a tree before.

0:44:530:44:56

What about next year, Jonny?

0:44:560:44:57

Well, you'll have your own tree to decorate. For our baby.

0:44:580:45:02

Last chance for any requests.

0:45:050:45:07

Lonely This Christmas?

0:45:070:45:10

You and me both.

0:45:100:45:11

-SONG BEGINS

-May I?

0:45:130:45:15

-Ooh...

-SHE LAUGHS

0:45:170:45:20

-Ah...I've never danced with an elf before.

-No?

0:45:200:45:23

Well... First time for everything.

0:45:230:45:25

HE LAUGHS

0:45:250:45:28

-# Try to imagine... #

-Merry Christmas, Mo.

0:45:290:45:32

# ..a house that's not a home

0:45:320:45:35

# Try to imagine

0:45:350:45:39

# A Christmas all alone... # SHE SIGHS

0:45:390:45:42

# That's where I'll be since you left me

0:45:420:45:46

# My tears could melt the snow

0:45:460:45:50

# What can I do without you?

0:45:500:45:53

# I got no place, no place to go

0:45:530:45:57

# It'll be lonely this Christmas

0:45:570:46:01

# Without you to hold

# It'll be lonely this Christmas

0:46:040:46:08

# Lonely and cold

0:46:080:46:11

# It'll be cold, so cold

0:46:110:46:15

# Without you to... #

0:46:150:46:17

Hmm.

0:46:230:46:25

Hi. I got the on-call anaesthetist to cover the rest of my shift.

0:46:300:46:34

-I thought that would be best. I'm not on top form.

-Right.

0:46:340:46:37

-You said you wanted something large and sparkling.

-Edward...

0:46:370:46:39

-It cost a fortune, but I think you're worth it.

-Stop it! Please.

0:46:390:46:43

Um...

0:46:440:46:46

Why did you leave your last job?

0:46:470:46:49

There's...there's a gap in your CV.

0:46:510:46:54

I wanted a change. I didn't like the team much.

0:46:540:46:58

What is this?

0:46:580:46:59

-I just rang them.

-You were checking up on me?

0:46:590:47:02

They said you were dismissed, because of your drinking.

0:47:020:47:05

Yeah, that's true, but that was then. Not now.

0:47:120:47:16

You have to believe me, Serena.

0:47:160:47:18

OK...then you won't mind taking a blood test?

0:47:180:47:26

You're joking?

0:47:290:47:30

-Darling, this is me you're talking to.

-I need to know

0:47:320:47:34

that you didn't recklessly put a patient in danger.

0:47:340:47:37

-Serena, please.

-If you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to lose.

0:47:370:47:41

This is all the evidence you need to close this down right now.

0:47:410:47:45

All right, I had a couple of shots.

0:47:590:48:02

Come on, it's Christmas!

0:48:020:48:04

We both trained under surgeons who had a bottle of red every lunchtime.

0:48:040:48:07

And they're some of the best we've ever come across.

0:48:070:48:10

I'm not saying that I do that.

0:48:100:48:12

I'm just...trying to give this thing some perspective.

0:48:120:48:15

Come on, darling.

0:48:160:48:17

Can't we...? Can't we keep this between ourselves?

0:48:190:48:22

You really don't know what you've done, do you?

0:48:250:48:28

MUSIC PLAYS

0:48:380:48:42

Wesolych Swiat!

0:48:420:48:44

Right, um, so I know you said that you didn't really want this,

0:48:440:48:49

but, er, sometimes we really want

0:48:490:48:53

the things we say we don't want, or something. Um, um...

0:48:530:48:58

Um...

0:48:590:49:00

I hope it's, um, OK.

0:49:020:49:05

-How on earth...?

-Er, Mr Scanlon. Yeah, he seems to know

0:49:110:49:16

everything one could possibly want to know about Polish Christmas.

0:49:160:49:21

Um, so he said we had to have fish. So voila!

0:49:210:49:25

Er, and I got a tree, er, STOLE a tree, in fact, from Holby Care,

0:49:250:49:29

but they're not going to miss it, let's face it.

0:49:290:49:31

And, um... He also said that...

0:49:310:49:35

a place is laid for a relative who can't make it.

0:49:350:49:41

Or for someone who has recently passed away.

0:49:410:49:43

And this is...from your mother.

0:49:460:49:51

Whoosh! ..Who won?

0:50:000:50:03

-Boom!

-MOTHER: Wow!

0:50:030:50:05

All you right, you won, then.

0:50:100:50:12

Thanks so much, Ms Campbell.

0:50:200:50:22

-Sam says you've been brilliant.

-It's been my pleasure.

0:50:220:50:25

I told him he was overdoing it, but he never listens to me.

0:50:250:50:28

-He seems fine now, though.

-He's a lot more comfortable.

0:50:280:50:31

I'll make sure he gets a proper rest over Christmas.

0:50:310:50:34

The trouble is, the kids'll be up at five ripping open their stockings

0:50:340:50:37

and jumping all over our bed.

0:50:370:50:39

-It's complete chaos.

-That's what Christmas is all about.

0:50:390:50:43

You just enjoy it.

0:50:430:50:45

THEY CHATTER

0:50:470:50:49

SHE GASPS

0:51:020:51:04

Well, it's not...not normally my sort of thing, but, yeah...

0:51:130:51:16

It's very lovely.

0:51:160:51:18

Mama gave it to me when I was two.

0:51:180:51:20

It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

0:51:220:51:25

Every year, it would go back in its box until the following year.

0:51:270:51:32

And even then, I wasn't allowed to put it on the tree

0:51:320:51:35

until the very first Christmas Star appeared.

0:51:350:51:39

Gwiazda.

0:51:390:51:41

So I'd sit...

0:51:440:51:46

..and hold it...

0:51:470:51:48

..and stare into the darkness...

0:51:510:51:53

..and wait.

0:51:550:51:56

I was so excited!

0:51:590:52:00

Well... Well, come on... Let's, um...

0:52:080:52:11

Let's have a look, shall we?

0:52:110:52:13

Um...

0:52:210:52:23

There? There?

0:52:270:52:29

SHE SIGHS

0:52:350:52:38

Merry Christmas, Mama.

0:52:380:52:40

You look almost sexy in that.

0:52:430:52:46

Gentlemen prefer blondes.

0:52:460:52:47

-That elf's a gentleman. I think he likes you.

-You reckon?

0:52:470:52:52

Yeah, you want to grab him before somebody else does.

0:52:520:52:55

Margie, I wish you were my aunt.

0:52:550:52:58

Don't suppose you could sneak me in half a bottle of vodka?

0:52:580:53:01

It is Christmas. Nicky said no. Miserable cow!

0:53:010:53:06

No alcohol on antibiotics. Sorry, mate.

0:53:060:53:09

Merry Christmas!

0:53:100:53:12

Fat chance!

0:53:120:53:13

Ha-ha, brilliant! Finally entering into the Christmas spirit, I see?

0:53:260:53:30

-Well, I can't let you have all the fun.

-Fantastic!

0:53:300:53:33

Well, I better head back to Gynae. I've been neglecting my patients.

0:53:330:53:37

Um, wait. There's something that I wanted to say.

0:53:370:53:40

Yep, me too, actually. Can I go first?

0:53:400:53:42

Sure.

0:53:420:53:44

Um...

0:53:440:53:46

I've got a date! Tonight. With Nicky.

0:53:460:53:50

It turns out we share a love for mulled wine and ice skating,

0:53:500:53:54

not at the same time, though, obviously! Ooh!

0:53:540:53:56

What do you think? Is she a bit young for me?

0:53:570:54:00

No. No.

0:54:000:54:02

-I think it's great. Yeah. She seems really nice.

-Yeah, yeah!

0:54:020:54:07

-What did you want to say?

-Oh, just, um...

0:54:070:54:10

Have a great Christmas.

0:54:120:54:13

Yeah, you too.

0:54:160:54:17

You're suspended. You shouldn't even be on the premises.

0:54:400:54:43

I know I've behaved appallingly. Unforgivably.

0:54:430:54:45

But Elinor wants us together, as a family, for Christmas.

0:54:450:54:49

I'll get treatment. Whatever it takes. Please, Serena.

0:54:490:54:52

We have a future.

0:54:520:54:54

HAD a future.

0:54:540:54:56

Based on lies, deceit, half truths, game playing.

0:54:560:54:59

-All our relationship's ever been...

-No, no.

0:54:590:55:01

You use people, Edward! And you let them down again and again.

0:55:010:55:06

And not just me and Elinor, but Mary-Claire, Harry, Mr Chandler!

0:55:060:55:08

-The list's endless!

-I know, I know! I'm sorry!

0:55:080:55:11

I took responsibility for you! I risked my career for you!

0:55:110:55:15

-And you have humiliated me!

-I'll change.

0:55:150:55:17

-Where have I heard that before?

-Look, I see that you're angry,

0:55:170:55:20

but think about Elinor for a second.

0:55:200:55:22

-How do you think she'll react to this?

-I've already told her.

0:55:220:55:25

And she wasn't surprised.

0:55:250:55:27

She's used to being disappointed by you.

0:55:270:55:29

-I'm the one who never seems to learn.

-Oh, darling...

0:55:290:55:32

I love you.

0:55:340:55:35

It's too late.

I wouldn't blame you. You must think I'm a fool.

0:56:230:56:27

No. I admire your loyalty.

0:56:270:56:30

Sadly misplaced.

0:56:300:56:32

We're all fallible. It takes guts to admit it.

0:56:320:56:35

Look, if there's anything I can do...

Thank you.

0:56:410:56:42

Right, are we all ready? Have you all got your, um...? Good.

0:56:440:56:48
