0:13:13 > 0:13:16This is a national, national competition.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Yeah, and we're going to win it.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21But this is like Saturday night television live.

0:13:21 > 0:13:22Yeah, I know, and we're going to be on it.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24We're going to be on it and win it.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- We're going to be on it and win it.- You're not, we are.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28- We're going to win. - We are.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Right, who's going to win it? - We are!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I feel sorry for you, I really do.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Not only are you poor and thick,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38you're actually taught, allegedly, by this man here.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Excuse me. - No, no...

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Jess, stand there. - We need to see Father Christmas.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Come on, kids. - No.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45Thou shalt not pass.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Don't be so ridiculous. Please.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Don't you shout at me.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- How dare you! - You...

0:13:52 > 0:13:53- Ha! - Rip my ears off,

0:13:53 > 0:13:55- I'll rip your head off! - Argh!

0:13:55 > 0:13:56Stupid man!

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Rip my head off?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Agh!

0:14:00 > 0:14:01Right.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Let's go. Let's just go. Licking my face. It's hideous.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Come on, children. Stay away from him, please.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Father Christmas, we've come to you because you are our only hope.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Oh.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16We need you to help us grant our Christmas wish.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19We're having a nightmare, to be honest, aren't we, kids?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21We really want to go to Song For Christmas

0:14:21 > 0:14:22but, like, Auntie Pat won't let us

0:14:22 > 0:14:24because she's saying I'm not a proper teacher

0:14:24 > 0:14:27and saying we haven't the money to get a bus to get there.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30But it's at this castle in Wales and you can win, like, £10,000.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Christmas number one, Christmas album.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Everything will be sweet. We've got to make it happen.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Nobody believes in us any more, Santa.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Well, we're not very good singers.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Yes, you are. We are.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45- No, we're not. - Santa, nobody likes us any more.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Please help us win the Song for Christmas.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50I will try and make that wish come true.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52I will do that, Mr Poppy.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Close your eyes and wish.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00I think that's a very good wish, that is.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03With all that effort, I think we might be able to get there.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05CHILDREN: Thank you.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Now, listen up, guys, OK?

0:15:17 > 0:15:19Do not mention Song for Christmas.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21CHILDREN: What Song for Christmas?

0:15:21 > 0:15:23All for one and one for all!

0:15:30 > 0:15:31Mr Poppy.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32MAKES FLYING NOISES

0:15:36 > 0:15:38MAKES LANDING NOISES

0:15:38 > 0:15:40- OK?- Mm-hm.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44I feel like I've got an apology to make.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm really sorry about what happened.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48It was basically a dare that got out of hand.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50- It was a dare?- Mm.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Who dared you?- One of the children basically dared me

0:15:53 > 0:15:56and I don't know if you know about dares but you've got to do the dare.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58If you don't do the dare it turns into a double dare,

0:15:58 > 0:15:59then triple, quadruple,

0:15:59 > 0:16:01and the last time that happened, we lost a child.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Right. - Just so you know,

0:16:03 > 0:16:06I've been with this class now for a couple of years.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- No, I understand that. - You know, we're not really a class,

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- we're like a family.- Sure.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'm like the dad of the family, they're like my children.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15We're willing to let you audition for role of Mum.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17OK, that's not how it's going to work.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20What we're going to do now is we're going to get the kids' coats off.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21You're going to hang your parka up,

0:16:21 > 0:16:24we're all going to come in here and get to know each other. How's that?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26MAKES FLYING NOISES

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Hello, what's your name? - Sam.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Do you want to slip your hat off? - Sorry, this is a lucky hat.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46You can't take that off.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48She wears that in the bath, for dinner, in lessons.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Mr Poppy, Mr Poppy, shh, shh.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Sam.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- GASPS - Whoa, she's betrayed the hat.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57It's just a hat, guys.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00OK, boys and girls, lovely to meet you all.

0:17:00 > 0:17:05My name is Mr Peterson and now I've got to get to know all of you.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07What's this class been working on?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Yes.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Yeah, we've been doing a song, writing for Song for Christmas.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13OTHERS: What Song for Christmas?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- What? - What Song for Christmas?

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- What Song for Christmas? - What did you blurt that out for?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21- What is that? - It's a national competition.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23All the schools are entering it. It's nationwide.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26The only thing is, you've got to sign this to enter us

0:17:26 > 0:17:30because we need a proper teacher with a PGCD, whatever you've got.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32So if you put your teacher's e-mail there, signature,

0:17:32 > 0:17:34we can get that in the post.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Why has no teacher signed this already?

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Because Mrs Bevan doesn't want us to go.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Mr Poppy, if Mrs Bevan has said no, then...

0:17:42 > 0:17:44- It's not far. It's just Wales. - Wales?

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Yeah, it's great. There's a castle. It's in a castle.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Look, it's my first day here. I can't be signing forms,

0:17:49 > 0:17:51allowing you to take a class of children to Wales

0:17:51 > 0:17:52when the Head Teacher said no.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- It'll put the school back on the map.- It'll put me out of a job.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57No, it won't. Please, Mr Peterson.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01If you put your name on there, then you're in the team.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05WHISPERS: The family.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15This is something you all want to do? ALL: Yes!

0:18:15 > 0:18:17You got much to say about it?

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Do you want to do it?

0:18:19 > 0:18:23That's Tommy and he has not spoken since his dad left the home.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27But he can sing. He's got the most amazing singing voice in the world.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32What's the song like?

0:18:32 > 0:18:33Yes!

0:18:33 > 0:18:38Mr Peterson, I give you St Bernadette's!

0:18:38 > 0:18:42# Christmas tinsel and jingle bells

0:18:42 > 0:18:44# Presents beneath the tree

0:18:44 > 0:18:46# Ho, ho, ho, ho

0:18:46 > 0:18:49# Father Christmas and his little elves

0:18:49 > 0:18:53# Making stuff for you and stuff for me

0:18:53 > 0:18:56# You want your big Christmas Day

0:18:56 > 0:19:00# You want your Santa and sleigh

0:19:00 > 0:19:05# Don't forget about the baby who was born in the hay

0:19:05 > 0:19:08# He was born in the hay

0:19:08 > 0:19:10# Danger danger in the manger

0:19:10 > 0:19:12# Don't give baby to a stranger

0:19:12 > 0:19:15# Nasty Herod on his way, hide the baby in the hay

0:19:15 > 0:19:18# Don't be a sheep, just be a King

0:19:18 > 0:19:19# King, King, King. #

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Very good.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Look, I thought you were all great

0:19:26 > 0:19:29and I think it's really exciting that you've got this singing club

0:19:29 > 0:19:32and it's great to see you doing your stuff

0:19:32 > 0:19:33but, um...

0:19:33 > 0:19:38What Mr Peterson is trying to say is it's good but we need a gimmick.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Anyone got any ideas? - That's not...

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Have smoke coming up from the stage. Baby Jesus could come up.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Yeah, we can get a baby.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46OTHERS: Yes.

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Who's got a baby?

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Nobody's bringing any baby brothers

0:19:50 > 0:19:53or sisters or nephews or nieces into school.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54I think what Mr Peterson is trying to say

0:19:54 > 0:19:57is tomorrow what we should be doing is a show and tell

0:19:57 > 0:19:59where you each bring your baby brothers and sisters in.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03That's very much the opposite of what Mr Peterson is trying to say.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Tomorrow we'll be in class. We'll be doing some maths, some literacy.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08This is all great and it's very good fun.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10And some of you are very talented. MOUTHS

0:20:10 > 0:20:14But there is no bringing babies to school tomorrow. Is that understood?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27Oh, excuse me! That is my private cupboard, thank you.

0:20:27 > 0:20:28Who's that man?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's Mr Maddens.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- And he's...? - He used to be a teacher here.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36- Ah.- Yeah.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Right.- And you could take a few tips from him, if you like,

0:20:39 > 0:20:41because he's the sort of man

0:20:41 > 0:20:44that would have been up for babies being in plays

0:20:44 > 0:20:46and he's the sort of man that would have built the costumes

0:20:46 > 0:20:47and created the thing.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Desmond, you do know there's no way we can enter this competition?

0:20:50 > 0:20:54- What do you mean?- Stop raising the kids' expectations

0:20:54 > 0:20:55that they're going to win prizes

0:20:55 > 0:20:57and be the Christmas number one. It's not fair.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Excuse me, Mr Peterson,

0:20:59 > 0:21:04but maybe you should take a good, hard look at this man.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Look in his eyes.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09He was the greatest teacher we ever had.

0:21:09 > 0:21:10Right.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Well, he's not here any more, is he?

0:21:12 > 0:21:14No. He abandoned us.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Like you'll probably abandon us in a couple of weeks' time

0:21:16 > 0:21:19when you decide that we're not good enough for you.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Mr Poppy, I'm here for the long haul.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24I'm here to make these kids' lives better.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Mm.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Do you fancy maybe going for a sausage sizzler at the park?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- We always used to do that. - Oh, I've got to get back.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32My wife's quite pregnant.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34I should really shoot home.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37But maybe another night, yeah.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38I'd really like that.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39OK.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41OK? We good?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Are we agreed?

0:21:43 > 0:21:44Yep.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46See you in the morning.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:21:57 > 0:21:58- Oh, Mr Peterson. - Oh, hi, Lucy.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Oh, hello. Hi, Donald.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03- How are you settling in? - Not bad. Yeah.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Good. It's great news about the...

0:22:06 > 0:22:07the Song For Christmas.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Oh. You know about that?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Oh, Mr Poppy's told me.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Right. Well, I'm afraid I had to put a stop to it.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17I thought there were baby auditions this morning.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19No, no, we cancelled them.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Really? - Didn't we?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Did you? - Did we?

0:22:23 > 0:22:26MUSIC: Jingle Bells sung by Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters

0:22:26 > 0:22:28BABIES CRY

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Has he got any special skills?

0:22:32 > 0:22:33BABY BREAKS WIND

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Brilliant! Brilliant!

0:22:36 > 0:22:37Is he any good on a skateboard?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40No, no, no. No, no. You're not putting a baby on a skateboard.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44And then maybe a little...

0:22:44 > 0:22:45And then jump off...

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- WHISTLES - And into the crib.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51Would you mind maybe if we were to put a little beard on her?

0:22:51 > 0:22:52No.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54What about me covering the baby in meat?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Why would baby Jesus be covered in meat?

0:22:56 > 0:22:57Well, Lady Gaga covers herself in meat.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59She wasn't the son of God.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00BABY SQUEALS

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Has she got any tricks, little party pieces?

0:23:04 > 0:23:05We can train the babies up.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06You can't train babies.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08We can send the baby to boot camp.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09We're not going to this competition.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12We're going to go to the competition and win it.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13HUMS TO DANCE STEPS

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Yeah!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23HUMS DANCE MOVES

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Ah!

0:23:29 > 0:23:32- Does he know the way to Wales? - Know your way to Wales?

0:23:32 > 0:23:33I think he said yes.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37He's just a bit tired.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42# ..open sleigh. #

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Absolutely unbelievable!

0:23:46 > 0:23:48At last. Where've you been?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51I think he's actually certifiably insane.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53I mean, he dresses like a lunatic.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55And the nonsense that comes out of his mouth.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58This competition... Today, 25 babies show up.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00We're not going to Song For Christmas,

0:24:00 > 0:24:02like I've said 250 times already.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03"No, you haven't." Yes, I have.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05"You never told me." Yes, I did.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07"You promised." I never promised.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Don.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10You're just insane!

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Things are about to get worse. - KNOCK

0:24:12 > 0:24:15- How can they possibly... Who's that?- It's your father.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16What?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18He phoned a couple of hours ago.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20He wants to come and spend Christmas with us.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22- He can't come here. - Well, he is.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23- For Christmas? - Yes.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Why is he coming here? KNOCKING

0:24:25 > 0:24:26Go and answer the door.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I don't want him shouting at us.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31WHISPERS: Answer it!

0:24:32 > 0:24:34- At last! - Hi, Dad.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36What did you think I was? A bunch of carol singers?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Hold on. Madge, Madge... - Nice surprise.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42I thought you knew. Yes.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44For the next two weeks, I'll be away.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46That's right. Absolutely everything.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Just cancel the lot.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49That's it. Good. Thank you.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Just one minute. Donald.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53Coat.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Thank you.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Hi, Dad. - Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well, I have had the journey from hell.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Oh, sorry to hear that.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Sit, Donald.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10So, new house.

0:25:10 > 0:25:11New town. New job.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'm not going to beat about the bush.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Your job, a primary school teacher, is leading you nowhere.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21How much a year do you get paid?

0:25:21 > 0:25:24This job isn't about the money. That's not...

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Everything is about the money, Donald.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Do you know what your brother has gone on to do?

0:25:29 > 0:25:30Oh, I know...

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Are you aware, frankly, of what that boy has achieved already?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35And what he's going to achieve.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Your brother is going to be on TV tomorrow night

0:25:38 > 0:25:39in A Song For Christmas.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41- A Song For Christmas? - Yes.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42A competition.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Which he undoubtedly will win.

0:25:44 > 0:25:49Roderick's choir is the best in the country.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51I've actually never said this to anybody

0:25:51 > 0:25:53but when I looked at you both in that cot,

0:25:53 > 0:25:56when you were both born, I could see this little halo above you

0:25:56 > 0:25:58and I thought to myself, "You're going to be the one.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01"You're going to be the one to take on the mantle.

0:26:01 > 0:26:02"The Peterson mantle.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04"And go on and achieve."

0:26:04 > 0:26:07And somehow a cloud came over you.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10And it shone on the other child.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12And that child took off.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14I'm very proud of your brother. I really am.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16I make no bones of it.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I am disappointed in you.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20And have been for quite some time.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Roderick this, Roderick that.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24"Isn't Roderick amazing?

0:26:24 > 0:26:25"Look at his amazing job."

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Look at this.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Everyone says we look alike.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I don't think we look at all like each other.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32No, I don't think you look like each other either.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37I'm certainly not entering that competition now.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42I'm really sorry to call you here so early

0:26:42 > 0:26:44but Operation Song For Christmas is underway.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54It's probably a sign, Mr Peterson.

0:37:54 > 0:37:55It's not a sign. It's a donkey.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Well, it can help us carry Mary.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59We can't just take this donkey. It'll be somebody's property.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02Maybe it's trying to show us the way.

0:38:02 > 0:38:03Do you know the way?

0:38:03 > 0:38:04DONKEY BRAYS

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I think we've found ourselves a magic donkey.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08Really?

0:38:08 > 0:38:09- Ready, Mary? - Yeah.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Ready, everyone else? - ALL: Yeah.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12Come on, then, donkey.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14OK, let's go.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Let's follow the magic talking donkey.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22CLOCK CHIMES

0:38:22 > 0:38:24Wow.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Well, this is it, Oakmoorians.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29This is our destiny.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32This is the seat of kings and the site of many battles

0:38:32 > 0:38:34and we are going to win.

0:38:34 > 0:38:38We are going to win the Song For Christmas!

0:38:38 > 0:38:41All right. To the castle. Gracie, lead the line.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Grace, stop. Stop, stop. Where's Eleanor?

0:38:51 > 0:38:54Where's Eleanor?

0:38:54 > 0:38:57Wh... Where? Where's Eleanor? When did you see her last?

0:38:57 > 0:38:58ALL: The toilets, sir.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Was anybody looking to make sure she was getting back on the bus?

0:39:01 > 0:39:04We were too busy turning round the sign, sir.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Shut up. Now, we mustn't let this distract us.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Keep coming through. Come on.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Don't ever say that again.- Win, win, win when we sing, sing, sing.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16ALL CHANT: Win, win, win when we sing, sing, sing.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Why are you stopping? Keep going.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Why are you...?

0:39:24 > 0:39:26GOTHIC MUSIC

0:39:36 > 0:39:37That's St Cuthbert's.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39Eyes front.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41It's Roderick.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46Angel Matthews, please make your way to the Great Hall. Thank you.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49Rhys, Angel is entering the Great Hall now. Over.

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Angel.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53Roderick, it's so wonderful to have you here.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Marvellous to see you. - Thank you so much.

0:39:55 > 0:39:57Thank you so much.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00To have a world-renowned conductor like you here is...

0:40:00 > 0:40:02It's beyond words. I am humbled.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Me being here is not about the MBEs and the Grammys.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09I'm here as a contestant like anybody else.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11I know exactly what you're saying.

0:40:11 > 0:40:12- I want to make it plain. - Mm-hm.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16I don't expect any...favouring of our group,

0:40:16 > 0:40:19any sway that you might have over the judging panel.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21We expect to win by merit alone.

0:40:21 > 0:40:25Of course. Absolutely. I know you're a man of integrity.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Miss Matthews. Um, sorry. Um...

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Rhys, could you please deal with the gentleman?

0:40:30 > 0:40:33A bit concerned I don't have a private space backstage.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Would that be something we can sort out?

0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Could you show me? - Of course. It's just down here.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38Terrific. Thank you.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41So it's Oakmoor Primary School.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43What was your name, sir?

0:40:43 > 0:40:44I'm Shakespeare.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47Where's our dressing rooms and everything?

0:40:47 > 0:40:49- It'll be a shared space but... - A shared space?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Yes. - You're not providing us -

0:40:51 > 0:40:53Oakmoor school -

0:40:53 > 0:40:56with the chance that other schools are getting.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58- I'm merely trying to... - I've got your number, Poirot.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02Don't try it on with me. Come on. Let's go.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Get away from all this fleece and fluff. I've never seen so much pink.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08You'll get static on you.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Welcome to Song For Christmas. What's the name of your group?

0:41:10 > 0:41:12The Christmas Puddings.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Mr Peterson?- Yeah?

0:41:17 > 0:41:21I think baby's done a doo-doo. It really stinks.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24Look. Let's try that barn.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28Try and change the baby and get out of this rain. Go on. Let's go.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30- MR PETERSON:- Wales?! - A Song For Christmas?

0:41:30 > 0:41:32They are expecting them for a sound check,

0:41:32 > 0:41:34for which they are five hours late.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37But when they get there, they will contact me immediately.

0:41:37 > 0:41:41You have a school party out there with two teachers

0:41:41 > 0:41:43and you have no references to where they are?

0:41:43 > 0:41:45What sort of ship are you running here?

0:41:45 > 0:41:48A very tight ship, Mr Peterson, until your son arrived!

0:41:48 > 0:41:49KNOCK ON DOOR

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Sorry to disturb you, Mrs Bevan.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Some parents are waiting in the hall.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57Good afternoon, everyone.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Thank you so much for waiting.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04It appears that they are in transit at the moment.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07- To Wales.- Wales?

0:42:07 > 0:42:10I think you owe it to everybody in this room

0:42:10 > 0:42:13to give them a clear plan of what you intend to do.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16We're going to go down there. We're going to be there when they arrive.

0:42:16 > 0:42:17IF they arrive.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20If they don't arrive for a while, we'll go and search for them

0:42:20 > 0:42:24and we will not let one hair on their heads be harmed.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27I'm sorry. I don't want to add to any of the trouble.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28Yes?

0:42:28 > 0:42:31- But they might have a baby with them.- A baby?

0:42:31 > 0:42:33MY baby.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35THUNDER RUMBLES

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Come on. Come on.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Ooh, you're a bit stinky, aren't you?

0:42:40 > 0:42:43I think you've done quite a lot of poo-poos.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46- All right? - I thought you might want to, er...

0:42:47 > 0:42:50- ..change him.- Oh. Really?

0:42:50 > 0:42:52You're going to have to do a lot of this, Mr Peterson.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55A lot of nappies and poo and wee.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56Sick.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Yeah. OK.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00OK.

0:43:00 > 0:43:01BABY FARTS Oh!

0:43:01 > 0:43:04- ALL:- Urrrgh!

0:43:04 > 0:43:05That is fierce.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07Whoa! Urgh!

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Tommy, can you throw your hat over?

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Oh!

0:43:16 > 0:43:18OK. Sorry, Tommy.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20- Anyone got any scarves? - Chuck 'em over. Go on.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22Wrap it under.

0:43:22 > 0:43:24Are you really having a baby, Mr Peterson?

0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Yeah.- What are you having? A boy or a girl?

0:43:27 > 0:43:30- We don't know yet. - It could be an inbetweenie.

0:43:30 > 0:43:33- I-I don't think you get them. - Yes, you do, yeah.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35HE MOUTHS

0:43:35 > 0:43:37Who do you prefer? Mummy?

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Or Daddy?

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Mummy...

0:43:40 > 0:43:41- GRUFFLY:- ..or Daddy?

0:43:41 > 0:43:43Mum-my? Or Daddy?

0:43:49 > 0:43:52Whoa! Boats.

0:43:52 > 0:43:55Children! Baby's found some boats. Come over.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57We could use the boats to go down the stream.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59We're walking that way anyway.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02No, no, no, no. We'll never get the donkey in the boat.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04- Donkeys can fly!- What?

0:44:04 > 0:44:07- Donkeys can fly, can't they? - ALL:- Yeah!

0:44:07 > 0:44:10- They'll say yes to anything you say.- No, they won't.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12- They will. Try it. Go on. - Who wants to be eaten by a shark?

0:44:12 > 0:44:14No.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16- That's the exception. - I rest my case.

0:44:16 > 0:44:18That's the exception that proves the rule.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21They only say yes to things they want to do.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24They want to do this. So come on, buckle up. Let's go!

0:44:24 > 0:44:26- We don't have a helmet for the baby. - Babies don't need helmets.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28- Yes, they do. - They don't. They bounce.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30I fell off a table when I was a baby.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32Oh, well, that explains quite a lot, frankly.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35- Let baby decide.- What?

0:44:35 > 0:44:37If baby claps, we go on the boats.

0:44:37 > 0:44:38No! No, no, no.

0:44:38 > 0:44:41- ALL:- Clap hands, Baby.

0:44:41 > 0:44:42Come on!

0:44:43 > 0:44:45Well, that's cheating.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47THEY ALL CHEER

0:44:47 > 0:44:49It's not going to happen. Is it?

0:44:49 > 0:44:50Thank you.

0:44:50 > 0:44:51Trust me.

0:44:51 > 0:44:53Arghhhh!

0:44:53 > 0:44:54CHILDREN SCREAM

0:44:54 > 0:44:56- DESMOND:- Hold on tight, Mr Peterson!

0:44:58 > 0:45:00No! Argh!

0:45:00 > 0:45:03Mr Peterson, you doughnut, try and keep up.

0:45:03 > 0:45:05CHILDREN SCREAM

0:45:05 > 0:45:08There's a rock!

0:45:08 > 0:45:09Argh!

0:45:09 > 0:45:11CHILDREN SCREAM

0:45:11 > 0:45:13No! Ah! Argh!

0:45:14 > 0:45:17Whaa! Argh! ARGH!

0:45:19 > 0:45:21Hold on!

0:45:24 > 0:45:27Mr Poppy!

0:45:27 > 0:45:28BABY GIGGLES

0:45:28 > 0:45:32- I don't like this. - Mr Peterson, it's brilliant.

0:45:32 > 0:45:34Yeah!

0:45:34 > 0:45:37Oh! Ah! Oh! Mr Poppy!

0:45:37 > 0:45:40Mr Peterson, what are you doing?

0:45:40 > 0:45:42Argh!

0:45:42 > 0:45:45Come on!

0:45:45 > 0:45:48Get me out! Get me out! Get me out!

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Why did you decide to jump in?

0:45:54 > 0:45:57We haven't got time for little leisurely swims.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59I didn't jump in. I fell! Ah!

0:45:59 > 0:46:02We need to get going, Mr Peterson. We can't just dally about.

0:46:02 > 0:46:04I nearly drowned!

0:46:04 > 0:46:07You didn't drown. You're fine.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10You're just a little bit wet. Just shake it off like a dog.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13What have you done to me? What have you done?

0:46:13 > 0:46:17I nearly died in a river in the middle of nowhere because of you.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20Look! It's the donkey.

0:46:20 > 0:46:22Wow!

0:46:22 > 0:46:25How did you get here? How did you get here?

0:46:25 > 0:46:27How did you get here?

0:46:27 > 0:46:29- Ha, ha, ha. - We could have walked...?

0:46:29 > 0:46:31Come on. Let's go to the castle.

0:46:31 > 0:46:35Hello, magic donkey. You flew here, didn't you?

0:46:35 > 0:46:37I told you he could fly!

0:46:37 > 0:46:41# If you long to give to somebody else

0:46:41 > 0:46:42# It's probably Christmas time... #

0:46:42 > 0:46:45- I'm soaking wet.- We'll find somewhere you can dry off.

0:46:45 > 0:46:49- Calm down.- Mr Poppy, there's a cave. - Shall we go in?

0:46:49 > 0:46:52- ALL:- Yes! - Why would we go in there?

0:46:52 > 0:46:54- Pixie, do you want to go in the cave?- Yeah!

0:46:54 > 0:46:57Come on, everybody. Let's go in the cave.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Come on, then, you.

0:46:59 > 0:47:02Wow. It looks brilliant in here. Come on.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05I don't want to go in the cave either, Mr Peterson.

0:47:05 > 0:47:08No, I don't fancy it much.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10- Who wants to build a fire? - BOY:- Me!

0:47:10 > 0:47:13- Are you scared of the dark?- Yes.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15- I'll do it if you will.- OK.

0:47:15 > 0:47:16- Deal?- Yeah.

0:47:17 > 0:47:19- OK. You go first, then.- OK.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24# Mother, Father

0:47:24 > 0:47:26# Sister, brothers

0:47:26 > 0:47:30# Let all that I have be yours

0:47:30 > 0:47:31# What's yours is mine... #

0:47:31 > 0:47:33Oh, wicked!

0:47:33 > 0:47:36What do you think, Mr Peterson?

0:47:36 > 0:47:37It's very nice, yeah.

0:47:37 > 0:47:41- You still as frightened?- I wasn't frightened anyway. It was...

0:47:41 > 0:47:43I wanted to make sure it was all right.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45We saved you some spaces.

0:47:45 > 0:47:48# Dressing up in your Sunday best

0:47:48 > 0:47:51# You're blessed and it's Christmas time

0:47:51 > 0:47:53- # Must be it's Christmas time...- #

0:47:53 > 0:47:56- I'm sorry.- What for?

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Well, I didn't realise that you were so frightened of water.

0:47:59 > 0:48:00My dad used to...

0:48:02 > 0:48:04He had this thing about toughening us up.

0:48:04 > 0:48:09And one of his brilliant plans was he'd take us swimming every week

0:48:09 > 0:48:11and chuck us in the deep end.

0:48:12 > 0:48:17And he had this real fixation with holding your breath for a long time.

0:48:17 > 0:48:20I think he thought the longer you could hold your breath,

0:48:20 > 0:48:21the more of a man you were.

0:48:21 > 0:48:24So he'd hold us under water.

0:48:24 > 0:48:25It worked for Roderick.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27Just made me scared.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29Dads are rubbish, aren't they?

0:48:29 > 0:48:31I never even got to meet mine.

0:48:31 > 0:48:33- Oh, I'm sorry.- Mm.

0:48:33 > 0:48:36When I was little, I used to pretend my dad was Father Christmas.

0:48:36 > 0:48:39One Christmas, I stayed up all night, hoping he was going to come

0:48:39 > 0:48:40but he never arrived.

0:48:40 > 0:48:45It's like Tommy. We're both still waiting.

0:48:45 > 0:48:47You can have my dad if you like. I don't want him.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50- BABY CRIES - Sssh.

0:48:51 > 0:48:53Sssh.

0:48:55 > 0:48:59I've got to speak to my wife. She doesn't know where we are.

0:48:59 > 0:49:00Mr Peterson.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04I really hope you don't mind, but...

0:49:04 > 0:49:07I kept this back for emergencies.

0:49:07 > 0:49:11You've had a phone in that bag this whole time?!

0:49:11 > 0:49:12Yeah.

0:49:12 > 0:49:14I thought you might like to call your wife and...

0:49:14 > 0:49:16I cannot believe you.

0:49:16 > 0:49:19There's no signal. Take the baby. Take the baby. Ssh.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21BABY CRIES

0:49:21 > 0:49:23I'm going outside.

0:49:25 > 0:49:29Mr Poppy, is Father Christmas really your dad?

0:49:29 > 0:49:30I wish he was.

0:49:30 > 0:49:32But I don't think so.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34UKELELE STRUMMING

0:49:39 > 0:49:41# When I was a boy

0:49:41 > 0:49:44# I dreamed he'd find me

0:49:44 > 0:49:47# Fall down from the sky

0:49:47 > 0:49:49# To come and guide me

0:49:49 > 0:49:52# Take me by the hand of life

0:49:52 > 0:49:55# And show me all he's learned

0:49:55 > 0:49:58# Everybody's got a dad but me... #

0:50:00 > 0:50:02- PHONE RINGS - It's my phone. It's my phone.

0:50:02 > 0:50:03Sarah, it's me.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05- Donald?- Donald?!

0:50:05 > 0:50:07- Sarah?- Donald?

0:50:07 > 0:50:08Oh, man.

0:50:08 > 0:50:12# I need a dad to keep the demons from my door

0:50:12 > 0:50:14# I need a dad to stand beside me... #

0:50:14 > 0:50:16Oh! Oh!

0:50:16 > 0:50:18- Hello?- Sarah! Sarah, it's me.

0:50:18 > 0:50:20Donald, I love you.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21I love YOU.

0:50:23 > 0:50:25I don't know if you can hear me.

0:50:25 > 0:50:26That idiot!

0:50:26 > 0:50:29# ..still beating for... #

0:50:29 > 0:50:31The silly fool has finally got himself lost.

0:50:31 > 0:50:33What does he think he's doing?

0:50:33 > 0:50:34No idea.

0:50:34 > 0:50:37# I still dream he'll find me

0:50:37 > 0:50:40# Catch me if he can

0:50:40 > 0:50:42# The ties still bind me

0:50:42 > 0:50:45# Lead me down the rocky road

0:50:45 > 0:50:50# And show me who I am... #

0:50:50 > 0:50:52Sarah! Sarah, please wait. Wait!

0:50:52 > 0:50:56Why? The whole of your life, all you've ever done is put him down.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00No wonder he's panicking about how good a father he's going to be.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02You're the only example that he's had.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04You go back in there with Roderick, your favourite son -

0:51:04 > 0:51:07I'm going to find my husband!

0:51:07 > 0:51:09# Everybody's got a dad but me

0:51:12 > 0:51:18# Everybody's got a dad but me... #

0:51:19 > 0:51:21- MR SHAKESPEARE: - Right, Oakmoorians, this is it.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23What I'm looking for -

0:51:23 > 0:51:26just one or two of you just to nip down the corridor

0:51:26 > 0:51:31and see if we can find out exactly what these other acts are about.

0:51:31 > 0:51:33Let's have a look. Ah. Snow Angels.

0:51:33 > 0:51:37This is Lloyd and his Snowballs.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39I heard them singing in the corridor, Mr Shakespeare.

0:51:39 > 0:51:42- What were they like? - He's as good as Justin Bieber.

0:51:42 > 0:51:46- Justin Beaver? Who's that? - He's a singer, Mr Shakespeare.

0:51:46 > 0:51:48Well, we must have a Justin Beaver.

0:51:48 > 0:51:50- Sam, you could do that, couldn't you?- Yes.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52- Do you know any of his moves?- No.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55But I've heard that when he swishes his hair, the girls go crazy.

0:51:55 > 0:51:56Swish your hair for me.

0:51:58 > 0:52:00Throw some shapes.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03That's it! You've got it. You can be our Justin Beaver. Excellent.

0:52:03 > 0:52:07So Angels, Christmas Fairies, Puddings, Christmas Joy...

0:52:07 > 0:52:10We can beat all of them, can't we? We've got Justin Beaver.

0:52:10 > 0:52:13Now, let's sing our winning Christmas song.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23Hello. Hi. So great to meet you.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25Um, extraordinary to meet you.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27I can't believe I've got a poster on my wall.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29Would you vacate this room, please?

0:52:29 > 0:52:30S-Sorry?

0:52:30 > 0:52:32As soon as possible, please. The boys need to prepare.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35With all due respect, my children need to prepare as well.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38This is not your room. Would you leave, please?

0:52:38 > 0:52:40It's got a star on the door so it's obviously our room.

0:52:40 > 0:52:42- Come on.- No, Scott. Don't move.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44Sam...don't move.

0:52:44 > 0:52:46Crispin, can you alert security?

0:52:46 > 0:52:50I see. It's just one rule for one, and one rule for another.

0:52:50 > 0:52:51Can you remove these, please?

0:52:51 > 0:52:54All right, I'll take them. I'll take them. I don't care.

0:52:54 > 0:52:55Sebastian, can...?

0:52:55 > 0:52:58Can I just say, yes, I've got your poster on my wall...

0:52:58 > 0:53:00YOU should have MY poster on your wall.

0:53:00 > 0:53:02That Angel Matthews, the way she looked at me -

0:53:02 > 0:53:05or didn't look at me - I was disgusted.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07It's just too much.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10All my life, I've tried to do well.

0:53:10 > 0:53:13Tried to gain respect, conduct myself with dignity,

0:53:13 > 0:53:18behave impeccably, be an inspiration.

0:53:18 > 0:53:21- I'm Shakespeare. - Let the small man through, boys.

0:53:21 > 0:53:23I'm Gordon Shakespeare.

0:53:23 > 0:53:26With the emphasis on the Shakespeare.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29We've got Justin Beaver in our team, don't you worry.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31Ignore the silly little man.

0:53:31 > 0:53:33OK, boys, it's time.

0:53:33 > 0:53:34Inhale success.

0:53:36 > 0:53:37Exhale doubt.

0:53:39 > 0:53:40Inhale.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Hold that breath.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47Hold...that...breath.

0:53:50 > 0:53:51One, two, three. One two, three.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Name's Angel Matthews, for those of you who don't know.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56That normally gets a big laugh, cos everybody does know who I am.

0:53:56 > 0:53:59- OPERATICALLY:- # Oh, holy night

0:53:59 > 0:54:04# While stars are brightly shining... #

0:54:04 > 0:54:06She just won't shut up. How long's this going on for?

0:54:06 > 0:54:09Little wave and off. Angel has left the stage. Thank you.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12We're just going to run through our number and head off.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10- It's very musical theatre, isn't it? - Oh, in the worst possible sense.

0:56:10 > 0:56:12- Lowest common denominator. - Derivative, yeah.

0:56:12 > 0:56:15The audiences love this kind of thing.

0:56:15 > 0:56:16Really?

0:56:16 > 0:56:19# Christmas ain't for paupers

0:56:19 > 0:56:22# Not for scum like us

0:56:37 > 0:56:41but not for these boys and girls, I fear.

0:56:41 > 0:56:43Not for them are those Christmas pies.

0:56:43 > 0:56:47Christmas is...a pack of lies!

0:56:47 > 0:56:49Bwa-ha-ha!

0:57:02 > 0:57:05But this kind of...sentimentality...

0:57:07 > 0:57:09...it's rather rewarded, is it?

0:57:09 > 0:57:14A little boy in a hat and glasses, singing his little heart out.

0:57:14 > 0:57:18That's what wins prizes, I'm afraid.

0:57:47 > 0:57:51Solo like that could really win you the competition, Roderick.

0:57:51 > 0:57:53Really?

0:57:53 > 0:57:57And they're definitely on after us in the running order, yes?

0:57:57 > 0:57:59Yes, that's right. They are.

0:57:59 > 0:58:00Interesting.

0:58:02 > 0:58:04- DESMOND:- Mr Peterson, it could go...

0:58:04 > 0:58:07HE SINGS A MUSICAL PHRASE

0:58:07 > 0:58:09Let's all stop here for five minutes.

0:58:09 > 0:58:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are we stopping?

0:58:12 > 0:58:13We've got to get going.

0:58:13 > 0:58:16Listen. We need to properly talk about what we do next.

0:58:16 > 0:58:19- What do you mean? - These children are cold and tired.

0:58:19 > 0:58:20The children are fine.

0:58:20 > 0:58:23It'll be very dark very soon. And then we'll be stuck.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25- Look, Jessie and Pixie are passing out up there.- Yeah.

0:58:25 > 0:58:28Jessie and Pixie are my children, and I know all about them!

0:58:28 > 0:58:31Mr Poppy, they are NOT your children, all right?

0:58:31 > 0:58:33They're not your children, you're a classroom assistant

0:58:33 > 0:58:35and you're not a very good classroom assistant

0:58:35 > 0:58:39because you've led these children to the middle of nowhere and now what?

0:58:39 > 0:58:40This is not a great, big adventure.

0:58:40 > 0:58:42This is serious and we're in trouble.

0:58:42 > 0:58:45I'd like to think that you were going to help us get out of here.

0:58:45 > 0:58:48But, frankly, so far I've seen nothing but irresponsibility.

0:58:48 > 0:58:52So grow up, stop behaving like a child, and help me to sort this out.

0:58:54 > 0:58:57Do you know who you sound like, Mr Peterson?

0:58:58 > 0:59:00Your dad.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06That is...

0:59:18 > 0:59:20I don't think I'm ever going to get a best friend.

0:59:20 > 0:59:22I'll be your best friend.

0:59:22 > 0:59:24But you'll just leave, like everyone else,

0:59:24 > 0:59:26cos you'll leave school and move on.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28I need a friend I can be with forever.

0:59:28 > 0:59:29A forever friend.

0:59:29 > 0:59:31I'll be your friend forever.

0:59:31 > 0:59:33- Really?- Yep.

0:59:33 > 0:59:34Your best friend.

0:59:39 > 0:59:41What's that, Mr Peterson?

0:59:42 > 0:59:46Oh, it's just a little thing my mummy gave me, a long time ago.

0:59:46 > 0:59:49That's my brother. We're twins.

0:59:49 > 0:59:52He's got the other half. Well, at least he used to.

0:59:52 > 0:59:55When you put it together, it makes a heart.

0:59:55 > 0:59:59But we don't really see each other any more, me and my brother. No.

0:59:59 > 1:00:03Did you have an argument, like you just did with Mr Poppy?

1:00:03 > 1:00:06Not really an argument. We were just...

1:00:06 > 1:00:08very different types of people.

1:00:10 > 1:00:12I think you should say sorry to Mr Poppy.

1:00:15 > 1:00:18Yeah, maybe I should.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21I'm not very good at saying sorry.

1:00:21 > 1:00:22Come on, Mr Peterson.

1:00:25 > 1:00:27Oh, all right.

1:00:27 > 1:00:29Oh, ssh! He's coming.

1:00:31 > 1:00:32- I'm not speaking to him.- OK.

1:00:32 > 1:00:35I'm going to have to do all my speaking through you.

1:00:38 > 1:00:42Pixie has convinced me that perhaps I snapped a little,

1:00:42 > 1:00:44and I've come to apologise.

1:00:44 > 1:00:46Tell Mr Peterson I've just had about enough

1:00:46 > 1:00:49of him making promises and then breaking them.

1:00:50 > 1:00:53Mr Poppy's had enough of you

1:00:53 > 1:00:57promising promises and breaking promises.

1:00:57 > 1:00:59It's not exactly what I said, but it'll do.

1:00:59 > 1:01:03Pixie, can you convince Mr Poppy that I'm genuinely sorry?

1:01:03 > 1:01:08Mr Peterson says that he's convenuinely sorry.

1:01:08 > 1:01:10Jessie, can you ask Mr Poppy where the baby is?

1:01:10 > 1:01:13- Cleo, have you got the baby? - Yeah, but I gave it to Sadie.

1:01:13 > 1:01:16- Sadie, have you got the baby? - Yeah, but then I gave it to Elena.

1:01:16 > 1:01:17- Who's got the baby? - Where is the baby?

1:01:17 > 1:01:20- Where's the baby? - We can't have lost the baby!

1:01:20 > 1:01:22- Baby! - CHILDREN CALL OUT

1:01:22 > 1:01:24Mr Peterson, I'm really, really sorry.

1:01:24 > 1:01:28I should never have taken the class, escaped from school, and got to...

1:01:28 > 1:01:30Mr Poppy. That's not helping.

1:01:30 > 1:01:33BA-A-A-A-A-ABY-Y-Y-Y-Y!

1:01:37 > 1:01:41- Baby!- Ba-a-a-aby-y-y-y!

1:01:44 > 1:01:45Hey.

1:01:45 > 1:01:47Hey, Louise.

1:01:47 > 1:01:50You had us scared to death. BABY CRIES

1:01:50 > 1:01:52Did you bring this baby today?

1:01:52 > 1:01:56I just thought she'd like to be in the Song For Christmas.

1:01:56 > 1:01:58Oh, Louise.

1:02:03 > 1:02:05Mr Peterson!

1:02:05 > 1:02:07Hey, look.

1:02:07 > 1:02:09- Look, we've found her. - He's found the baby!

1:02:09 > 1:02:12BABY CRIES

1:02:12 > 1:02:15That's too high! Goodness' sakes!

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Shh. Mr Poppy.

1:02:17 > 1:02:20- We're in this mountain range here, yeah?- Yeah.

1:02:20 > 1:02:23- The castle is just over that mountain.- Just over there.

1:02:23 > 1:02:26- Well, we can't climb that mountain. - Yes, we can.

1:02:26 > 1:02:27Isn't there a way round the side or...?

1:02:27 > 1:02:30We haven't got time to go around the side, Mr Peterson.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32We're going to have to go over.

1:02:32 > 1:02:35# Yes, we can climb the mountain

1:02:35 > 1:02:37# If we all share the load

1:02:37 > 1:02:42# Yes, we can reach the summit at the end of the road

1:02:42 > 1:02:45# If we lift our hearts to heaven

1:02:45 > 1:02:47# And reach out for the stars

1:02:47 > 1:02:49# Yes, we can climb the mountain

1:02:49 > 1:02:52# Cos the mountain is ours

1:02:52 > 1:02:54# # Let the white winter weather

1:02:54 > 1:02:56# Try and hinder our climb

1:02:56 > 1:02:59# Yes, we can climb the mountain

1:02:59 > 1:03:02# Because it's Christmas time

1:03:02 > 1:03:06# It's Christmas time. #

1:03:06 > 1:03:08I can see the castle!

1:03:08 > 1:03:10CHILDREN CHEER

1:03:10 > 1:03:12Whoa.

1:03:12 > 1:03:15Right, come on. Let's get back from the edge.

1:03:15 > 1:03:18Stay back, everyone. We've got to turn back.

1:03:18 > 1:03:20Everyone, we've got to go back the way we came.

1:03:20 > 1:03:23- We can't go back. - Well, we can't fly off that.

1:03:23 > 1:03:25We've got to get to Song For Christmas.

1:03:25 > 1:03:27We can't fly off the cliff!

1:03:27 > 1:03:29So we're not going to Song For Christmas?

1:03:29 > 1:03:32- Please, Mr Peterson.- I don't know what you want me to say.

1:03:32 > 1:03:34- We can't... We can't fly. I'm sorry. - Please, Mr Peterson.- Look...

1:03:34 > 1:03:37if you've got a way for us to get down this cliff,

1:03:37 > 1:03:38we can talk about it.

1:03:38 > 1:03:41It's not about us having a way, is it, Mr Peterson?

1:03:41 > 1:03:43Because you don't believe in anyway we ever do,

1:03:43 > 1:03:45- because you're always down on everything I suggest.- OK.

1:03:45 > 1:03:49- Tell me how we're going to do it. - I've got a rope, actually.

1:03:49 > 1:03:51Look, do you really believe we can suspend

1:03:51 > 1:03:5414 children, a baby and a donkey off the side of this mountain?

1:03:54 > 1:03:58The problem is, Mr Peterson, is YOU don't believe we can.

1:03:58 > 1:04:00- Yes, we can, Mr Peterson. - Yes, we can, Mr Peterson.

1:04:00 > 1:04:03- Yes, we can, Mr Peterson. - Yes, we can, Mr Peterson.

1:04:03 > 1:04:07- Yes, we can, Mr Peterson. - Yes, we can, Mr Peterson.

1:04:07 > 1:04:08Yes, we can, Mr Peterson.

1:04:11 > 1:04:14Tommy! Brilliant!

1:04:14 > 1:04:17- Do you believe, Mr Peterson? - Not really.

1:04:17 > 1:04:19- Oh!- But I'm willing to give it a go.

1:04:19 > 1:04:21- Don't push your luck.- Get the rope! Come on!

1:04:23 > 1:04:26- You're fine. - This is awesome!
