I love Christmas.

0:00:280:00:30

The tree, the lights, even the shopping.

0:00:300:00:33

And this Christmas was all about new beginnings.

0:00:330:00:36

I was starting a new job

0:00:360:00:37

at a new school

0:00:370:00:39

and having my very first baby.

0:00:390:00:41

Well, that's what Christmas is all about.

0:00:410:00:43

Family.

0:00:430:00:45

The only problem was, I didn't get on with my family.

0:00:450:00:48

Especially my twin brother Roderick.

0:00:480:00:50

But I wasn't going to let that spoil things.

0:00:510:00:54

No.

0:00:540:00:56

Hi!

0:00:560:00:57

No, I just had a feeling...

0:00:570:00:59

-Want to put this on the tree?

-..this was going to be

0:00:590:01:02

the best Christmas ever.

0:01:020:01:04

Higher. And back. No...

0:01:040:01:05

Ooh! Ohh!

0:01:050:01:07

-Are you all right?

-Yeah. I'm just a bit stuck.

0:01:070:01:11

-I love Christmas.

-Yeah.

0:01:120:01:14

I'm glad that we're here and I'm glad that we've moved away.

0:01:140:01:17

Yeah.

0:01:170:01:18

What was the Headmistress like?

0:01:180:01:20

She seemed good. Seemed like she really knew what she was doing.

0:01:210:01:24

-Did you meet anybody else there?

-No, she didn't want me to.

0:01:240:01:28

No, from what she said, the staff are fantastic.

0:01:280:01:32

Sounds like the perfect school.

0:01:320:01:34

CHILDREN SHOUT ROWDILY

0:01:340:01:35

Argh! Argh!

0:01:380:01:41

Yargh!

0:01:410:01:43

Mrs Bevan?

0:01:450:01:46

Mr Lambert. Supply teacher.

0:01:460:01:47

-Mr Lambert.

-Lambert.

0:01:470:01:49

Oh, I'm so pleased to see you

0:01:490:01:50

and so grateful.

0:01:500:01:51

This is what it's like

0:01:510:01:53

when you have a baby.

0:01:530:01:55

Whoa!

0:01:550:01:56

CHEERING

0:01:580:01:59

And our last teacher, Mr Maddens,

0:01:590:02:00

he had to go to America,

0:02:000:02:02

so we lost him unfortunately,

0:02:020:02:03

but you're going to love Mr Poppy.

0:02:030:02:05

Mr Whippy Poo!

0:02:050:02:08

Fire!

0:02:140:02:16

Ohh!

0:02:230:02:24

Don't throw the eggs.

0:02:240:02:26

Everybody, give your eggs to me.

0:02:260:02:28

0:02:280:02:29

Who will win a Song For Christmas?

0:03:070:03:09

This Christmas, Coventry's own Oakmoor School

0:03:090:03:11

will be shining a light on our city

0:03:110:03:13

at the prestigious A Song for Christmas Contest.

0:03:130:03:18

A Song For Christmas is open to any school soloist or Glee Club

0:03:180:03:21

up to the age of 18.

0:03:210:03:23

0:03:230:03:25

0:03:250:03:27

Now, it's taking place at Llawen Castle in Wales.

0:03:270:03:32

The competition will be hosted by singing sensation...

0:03:320:03:37

Angel Matthews.

0:03:370:03:38

I love Angel Matthews.

0:03:380:03:40

She's the one that sung... HUMS

0:03:400:03:43

And competing alongside Oakmoor School will be St Cuthbert's Choir

0:03:430:03:47

and they're from London

0:03:470:03:48

and they're led by a renowned conductor, Roderick Peterson.

0:03:480:03:52

-Never heard of him.

-He's a sensational young talent

0:03:520:03:55

and, um, he's going to have a top-notch choir,

0:03:550:03:58

so we've really got to come up with it, OK?

0:03:580:03:59

The winning song will win...

0:03:590:04:01

£10,000! OTHERS: WOW!

0:04:010:04:05

Final closing date for entries...

0:04:100:04:13

0:04:130:04:14

Right, OK, my little mystic monkeys, I want you to go through the school,

0:04:140:04:17

tell everyone we are holding secret Song for Christmas auditions.

0:04:170:04:21

And if anybody comes up to you and asks you,

0:04:210:04:24

you need to say... "What Song for Christmas?"

0:04:240:04:27

What Song for Christmas?

0:04:270:04:29

Yes!

0:04:290:04:31

MUSIC: Jingle Bells sung by the Puppini Sisters

0:04:570:04:59

# But I don't care

0:04:590:05:00

# Because we're wrapped up, even warmer inside. #

Is that it? Are you all out? Are you spent?

0:05:250:05:28

Oh...

0:05:280:05:29

Fantastic!

0:05:370:05:38

I am the angel

0:06:140:06:15

I come from heaven and...MUMBLES

0:06:150:06:18

And...and I've gone to Devon

0:06:180:06:20

Every day I...MUMBLES and I sing a song at Christmas

0:06:200:06:23

MUMBLES ..everything I...

0:06:230:06:25

I don't care if you know my name

0:06:250:06:29

I will sing a song for you

0:06:290:06:32

I don't care

0:06:320:06:33

I don't know how to say hello

0:06:330:06:35

And I'm made of yellow.

0:06:350:06:37

Good morning, boys and girls.

0:06:390:06:41

Good morning, Mrs Bevan.

0:06:410:06:45

Well, you're all looking very sparkly today, aren't you,

0:06:450:06:48

on this lovely sunny morning.

0:06:480:06:49

And that's because we're on the countdown to...

0:06:490:06:53

ALL: Christmas!

0:06:530:06:55

Now, some of you are very excited about a competition

0:06:550:06:58

that I've heard about that's happening in Wales.

0:06:580:07:01

Well, children, I have to tell you

0:07:010:07:03

that St Bernadette's will not be going.

0:07:030:07:05

CHILDREN: Ohhh!

0:07:050:07:08

The thing is, we simply don't have the money, the talent or the time.

0:07:080:07:13

But to make up for it,

0:07:130:07:15

we are going on a special visit to see Father Christmas.

0:07:150:07:21

-Isn't that exciting?

-SILENCE

0:07:210:07:23

MUSIC: Away In A Manger

0:07:260:07:29

# Away in a manger... #

0:07:290:07:32

-THUD!

-Oh, my goodness me.

0:07:320:07:34

Please tell me this is a joke, Auntie Pat.

0:07:340:07:36

What do you mean?

0:07:360:07:37

-"You're not going to the Song for Christmas."

-Well, you're not.

0:07:370:07:40

Well, I've already been doing auditions for the children, OK?

0:07:400:07:43

Desmond, not again.

0:07:430:07:46

You promised me you wouldn't do anything

0:07:460:07:48

unless we spoke about it first.

0:07:480:07:50

Please, come and sit down.

0:07:500:07:52

I didn't want to have to do this, Auntie Pat,

0:07:520:07:53

but I would like to speak to your supervisor, please.

0:07:530:07:56

-What?

-Yes.

0:07:560:07:58

Like to speak to your...manager.

0:07:580:08:01

-Get them in.

-Desmond!

0:08:010:08:02

Do you understand that you're only here because...

0:08:020:08:05

-QUIETLY:

-..You are my nephew?

0:08:050:08:06

You're not even a qualified teacher. You can barely read and write!

0:08:060:08:10

So if we find a proper teacher, we can go, right?

0:08:100:08:12

SCOFFS

0:08:120:08:14

Every time I find anybody,

0:08:140:08:15

you do something so appalling that they leave.

0:08:150:08:17

It is not happening.

0:08:170:08:19

Do you understand that? N-O, no, Desmond.

0:08:190:08:23

Right, you are not my best friend, Auntie Pat. All right?

0:08:230:08:25

And you are not in my team any more.

0:08:250:08:28

As of this day I am freezing you out.

0:08:280:08:31

Plaaa!

0:08:310:08:32

# We three Kings of Orient are

This is the gateway to stardom!

# God rest ye merry gentlemen

0:09:130:09:15

# Let nothing you dismay

0:09:240:09:25

0:09:560:10:00

Nice try, Ravi.

0:10:000:10:02

OK.

0:10:050:10:07

Mrs Bevan has done a complete freak-out on me.

0:10:070:10:10

She pulled the plug.

0:10:100:10:11

-She's just...

-IMITATES BREAKING WIND

0:10:110:10:14

..on everything.

0:10:140:10:16

Teachers are losers.

0:10:160:10:17

Yeah, teachers are losers and what are we?

0:10:170:10:19

QUIETLY: Winners.

0:10:210:10:22

Well, that's a bit rubbish.

0:10:220:10:25

We've got to turn it round.

0:10:250:10:26

We've got to do something.

0:10:260:10:28

We're going to turn it round big-time.

0:10:280:10:30

We're going to turn it round big-time.

0:10:300:10:32

Do we need a teacher?

0:10:320:10:34

No!

0:10:340:10:35

Do we believe in this class?

0:10:350:10:37

Yes!

0:10:370:10:38

Who believes we can win Song For Christmas?

0:10:380:10:41

Me!

0:10:410:10:42

Who wants to go and see Father Christmas?

0:10:420:10:44

Yeah, I'm just here to see Mrs Bevan.

0:11:000:11:02

-Yeah, what about?

-I'm Donald Peterson.

I'm the new Class Seven teacher.

I tell you what I'm going to do.

0:11:180:11:20

-OK.

-I'm going to count to ten

0:11:200:11:21

and if you're not out of that gate,

0:11:210:11:23

we are going to freak you right out and take you down.

0:11:230:11:27

Sorry, is that a threat?

Oh, no, I've got to see the head teacher.

This is not funny. This is...

0:11:430:11:45

Take him down!

0:11:450:11:46

I've got a letter.

0:11:460:11:47

Mr Poppy! Stop it!

0:11:470:11:49

Stop it!

0:11:490:11:50

Was that man in charge of a class?

0:11:500:11:52

Not in charge, no, no, no, no.

0:11:520:11:54

We wouldn't put him in charge.

0:11:540:11:55

He's an assistant.

0:11:550:11:57

-That man is a Classroom Assistant?

-That's right.

0:11:570:12:00

-Does that not worry you?

-Well, yes, and that's why we need you.

0:12:000:12:04

We need discipline and focus and you're the man to give it to us.

0:12:040:12:08

If you can work with him till Christmas,

0:12:080:12:10

I'll make you headmaster in January.

0:12:100:12:12

-You can't do that.

-I will.

and I think we did very well. Don't you?

0:13:040:13:06

CHILDREN: Yes, Mr Shakespeare.

0:13:060:13:08

We're going to be going to Song for Christmas.

0:13:080:13:11

-You are? Oh, really?

-Yes, really.

0:13:110:13:13

This is a national, national competition.

0:13:130:13:16

Yeah, and we're going to win it.

0:13:160:13:18

But this is like Saturday night television live.

0:13:180:13:21

Yeah, I know, and we're going to be on it.

0:13:210:13:22

We're going to be on it and win it.

0:13:220:13:24

-We're going to be on it and win it.

-You're not, we are.

0:13:240:13:27

-We're going to win.

-We are.

0:13:270:13:28

-Right, who's going to win it?

-We are!

0:13:280:13:31

I feel sorry for you, I really do.

0:13:310:13:33

Not only are you poor and thick,

0:13:330:13:36

you're actually taught, allegedly, by this man here.

0:13:360:13:38

-Excuse me.

-No, no...

0:13:380:13:40

-Jess, stand there.

-We need to see Father Christmas.

0:13:400:13:42

-Come on, kids.

-No.

0:13:420:13:44

Thou shalt not pass.

0:13:440:13:45

Don't be so ridiculous. Please.

0:13:450:13:46

Don't you shout at me.

0:13:460:13:49

-How dare you!

-You...

0:13:490:13:52

-Ha!

-Rip my ears off,

0:13:520:13:53

-I'll rip your head off!

-Argh!

0:13:530:13:55

Stupid man!

0:13:550:13:56

Rip my head off?

0:13:560:13:58

Agh!

0:13:580:14:00

Right.

0:14:000:14:01

Let's go. Let's just go. Licking my face. It's hideous.

0:14:010:14:04

Come on, children. Stay away from him, please.

0:14:040:14:06

Father Christmas, we've come to you because you are our only hope.

0:14:080:14:12

Oh.

0:14:120:14:13

We need you to help us grant our Christmas wish.

0:14:130:14:16

We're having a nightmare, to be honest, aren't we, kids?

0:14:160:14:19

We really want to go to Song For Christmas

0:14:190:14:21

but, like, Auntie Pat won't let us

0:14:210:14:22

because she's saying I'm not a proper teacher

0:14:220:14:24

and saying we haven't the money to get a bus to get there.

0:14:240:14:27

But it's at this castle in Wales and you can win, like, £10,000.

0:14:270:14:30

Christmas number one, Christmas album.

0:14:300:14:32

Everything will be sweet. We've got to make it happen.

0:14:320:14:34

Nobody believes in us any more, Santa.

0:14:340:14:37

Well, we're not very good singers.

0:14:370:14:39

Yes, you are. We are.

0:14:390:14:41

-No, we're not.

-Santa, nobody likes us any more.

0:14:410:14:45

Please help us win the Song for Christmas.

0:14:450:14:48

I will try and make that wish come true.

0:14:480:14:50

I will do that, Mr Poppy.

0:14:500:14:52

Close your eyes and wish.

0:14:520:14:54

I think that's a very good wish, that is.

0:14:570:15:00

With all that effort, I think we might be able to get there.

0:15:000:15:03

CHILDREN: Thank you.

0:15:030:15:05

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:15:050:15:06

Now, listen up, guys, OK?

0:15:150:15:17

Do not mention Song for Christmas.

0:15:170:15:19

CHILDREN: What Song for Christmas?

0:15:190:15:21

All for one and one for all!

0:15:210:15:23

0:15:360:15:38

-OK?

-Mm-hm.

0:15:380:15:40

I feel like I've got an apology to make.

0:15:400:15:44

I'm really sorry about what happened.

0:15:440:15:46

It was basically a dare that got out of hand.

0:15:460:15:48

-It was a dare?

-Mm.

0:15:480:15:50

-Who dared you?

-One of the children basically dared me

0:15:500:15:53

and I don't know if you know about dares but you've got to do the dare.

0:15:530:15:56

If you don't do the dare it turns into a double dare,

0:15:560:15:58

then triple, quadruple,

0:15:580:15:59

and the last time that happened, we lost a child.

0:15:590:16:01

-Right.

-Just so you know,

0:16:010:16:03

I've been with this class now for a couple of years.

0:16:030:16:06

-No, I understand that.

-You know, we're not really a class,

0:16:060:16:08

-we're like a family.

-Sure.

0:16:080:16:10

I'm like the dad of the family, they're like my children.

0:16:100:16:12

We're willing to let you audition for role of Mum.

0:16:120:16:15

OK, that's not how it's going to work.

0:16:150:16:17

What we're going to do now is we're going to get the kids' coats off.

0:16:170:16:20

You're going to hang your parka up,

0:16:200:16:21

we're all going to come in here and get to know each other. How's that?

0:16:210:16:24

MAKES FLYING NOISES

0:16:240:16:26

-Hello, what's your name?

-Sam.

0:16:390:16:41

-Do you want to slip your hat off?

-Sorry, this is a lucky hat.

0:16:410:16:44

You can't take that off.

0:16:440:16:46

She wears that in the bath, for dinner, in lessons.

0:16:460:16:48

Mr Poppy, Mr Poppy, shh, shh.

0:16:480:16:50

Sam.

0:16:500:16:52

-GASPS

-Whoa, she's betrayed the hat.

0:16:520:16:55

It's just a hat, guys.

0:16:550:16:57

OK, boys and girls, lovely to meet you all.

0:16:570:17:00

My name is Mr Peterson and now I've got to get to know all of you.

0:17:000:17:05

What's this class been working on?

0:17:050:17:07

Yes.

0:17:070:17:08

Yeah, we've been doing a song, writing for Song for Christmas.

0:17:080:17:10

OTHERS: What Song for Christmas?

0:17:100:17:13

-What?

-What Song for Christmas?

0:17:130:17:16

-What Song for Christmas?

-What did you blurt that out for?

0:17:160:17:19

-What is that?

-It's a national competition.

0:17:190:17:21

All the schools are entering it. It's nationwide.

0:17:210:17:23

The only thing is, you've got to sign this to enter us

0:17:230:17:26

because we need a proper teacher with a PGCD, whatever you've got.

0:17:260:17:30

So if you put your teacher's e-mail there, signature,

0:17:300:17:32

we can get that in the post.

0:17:320:17:34

Why has no teacher signed this already?

0:17:340:17:36

Because Mrs Bevan doesn't want us to go.

0:17:360:17:39

Mr Poppy, if Mrs Bevan has said no, then...

0:17:390:17:42

-It's not far. It's just Wales.

-Wales?

0:17:420:17:44

Yeah, it's great. There's a castle. It's in a castle.

0:17:440:17:46

Look, it's my first day here. I can't be signing forms,

0:17:460:17:49

allowing you to take a class of children to Wales

0:17:490:17:51

when the Head Teacher said no.

0:17:510:17:52

-It'll put the school back on the map.

-It'll put me out of a job.

0:17:520:17:55

No, it won't. Please, Mr Peterson.

0:17:550:17:57

If you put your name on there, then you're in the team.

0:17:570:18:01

WHISPERS: The family.

0:18:030:18:05

This is something you all want to do? ALL: Yes!

0:18:110:18:15

You got much to say about it?

0:18:150:18:17

Do you want to do it?

0:18:170:18:19

That's Tommy and he has not spoken since his dad left the home.

0:18:190:18:23

But he can sing. He's got the most amazing singing voice in the world.

0:18:230:18:27

What's the song like?

0:18:300:18:32

Yes!

0:18:320:18:33

Mr Peterson, I give you St Bernadette's!

0:18:330:18:38

# Christmas tinsel and jingle bells

0:18:380:18:42

# Presents beneath the tree

0:18:420:18:44

# Ho, ho, ho, ho

0:18:440:18:46

# Father Christmas and his little elves

0:18:460:18:49

# Making stuff for you and stuff for me

0:18:490:18:53

# You want your big Christmas Day

0:18:530:18:56

# You want your Santa and sleigh

0:18:560:19:00

# Don't forget about the baby who was born in the hay

0:19:000:19:05

# He was born in the hay

0:19:050:19:08

# Danger danger in the manger

0:19:080:19:10

# Don't give baby to a stranger

0:19:100:19:12

# Nasty Herod on his way, hide the baby in the hay

0:19:120:19:15

# Don't be a sheep, just be a King

0:19:150:19:18

# King, King, King. #

0:19:180:19:19

Very good.

0:19:220:19:24

Look, I thought you were all great

0:19:240:19:26

and I think it's really exciting that you've got this singing club

0:19:260:19:29

and it's great to see you doing your stuff

0:19:290:19:32

but, um...

0:19:320:19:33

What Mr Peterson is trying to say is it's good but we need a gimmick.

0:19:330:19:38

-Anyone got any ideas?

-That's not...

0:19:380:19:40

Have smoke coming up from the stage. Baby Jesus could come up.

0:19:400:19:43

Yeah, we can get a baby.

0:19:430:19:45

OTHERS: Yes.

0:19:450:19:46

Who's got a baby?

0:19:460:19:47

Nobody's bringing any baby brothers

0:19:470:19:50

or sisters or nephews or nieces into school.

0:19:500:19:53

I think what Mr Peterson is trying to say

0:19:530:19:54

is tomorrow what we should be doing is a show and tell

0:19:540:19:57

where you each bring your baby brothers and sisters in.

0:19:570:19:59

That's very much the opposite of what Mr Peterson is trying to say.

0:19:590:20:03

Tomorrow we'll be in class. We'll be doing some maths, some literacy.

0:20:030:20:06

This is all great and it's very good fun.

0:20:060:20:08

And some of you are very talented. MOUTHS

0:20:080:20:10

But there is no bringing babies to school tomorrow. Is that understood?

0:20:100:20:14

Oh, excuse me! That is my private cupboard, thank you.

0:20:230:20:27

Who's that man?

0:20:270:20:28

That's Mr Maddens.

0:20:290:20:31

-And he's...?

-He used to be a teacher here.

0:20:310:20:34

-Ah.

-Yeah.

0:20:350:20:36

-Right.

-And you could take a few tips from him, if you like,

0:20:360:20:39

because he's the sort of man

0:20:390:20:41

that would have been up for babies being in plays

0:20:410:20:44

and he's the sort of man that would have built the costumes

0:20:440:20:46

and created the thing.

0:20:460:20:47

Desmond, you do know there's no way we can enter this competition?

0:20:470:20:50

-What do you mean?

-Stop raising the kids' expectations

0:20:500:20:54

that they're going to win prizes

0:20:540:20:55

and be the Christmas number one. It's not fair.

0:20:550:20:57

Excuse me, Mr Peterson,

0:20:570:20:59

but maybe you should take a good, hard look at this man.

0:20:590:21:04

Look in his eyes.

0:21:040:21:06

He was the greatest teacher we ever had.

0:21:070:21:09

Right.

0:21:090:21:10

Well, he's not here any more, is he?

0:21:100:21:12

No. He abandoned us.

0:21:120:21:14

Like you'll probably abandon us in a couple of weeks' time

0:21:140:21:16

when you decide that we're not good enough for you.

0:21:160:21:19

Mr Poppy, I'm here for the long haul.

0:21:190:21:22

I'm here to make these kids' lives better.

0:21:220:21:24

Mm.

0:21:240:21:26

Do you fancy maybe going for a sausage sizzler at the park?

0:21:260:21:29

-We always used to do that.

-Oh, I've got to get back.

0:21:290:21:31

My wife's quite pregnant.

0:21:310:21:32

I should really shoot home.

0:21:320:21:34

But maybe another night, yeah.

0:21:340:21:37

I'd really like that.

0:21:370:21:38

OK.

0:21:380:21:39

OK? We good?

0:21:390:21:41

Are we agreed?

0:21:410:21:43

Yep.

0:21:430:21:44

See you in the morning.

-Oh, Mr Peterson.

-Oh, hi, Lucy.

0:21:570:21:58

Oh, hello. Hi, Donald.

0:21:580:22:00

-How are you settling in?

-Not bad. Yeah.

0:22:000:22:03

Good. It's great news about the...

0:22:030:22:06

the Song For Christmas.

0:22:060:22:07

Oh. You know about that?

0:22:070:22:09

Oh, Mr Poppy's told me.

0:22:090:22:11

Right. Well, I'm afraid I had to put a stop to it.

0:22:110:22:14

I thought there were baby auditions this morning.

0:22:140:22:17

No, no, we cancelled them.

0:22:170:22:19

-Really?

-Didn't we?

0:22:190:22:21

-Did you?

-Did we?

Has he got any special skills?

BABY BREAKS WIND

0:22:320:22:33

Brilliant! Brilliant!

0:22:330:22:36

Is he any good on a skateboard?

0:22:360:22:37

No, no, no. No, no. You're not putting a baby on a skateboard.

0:22:370:22:40

And then maybe a little...

0:22:420:22:44

And then jump off...

0:22:440:22:45

-WHISTLES

-And into the crib.

0:22:450:22:47

Would you mind maybe if we were to put a little beard on her?

0:22:470:22:51

No.

0:22:510:22:52

What about me covering the baby in meat?

0:22:520:22:54

Why would baby Jesus be covered in meat?

0:22:540:22:56

Well, Lady Gaga covers herself in meat.

0:22:560:22:57

She wasn't the son of God.

0:22:570:22:59

BABY SQUEALS

0:22:590:23:00

Has she got any tricks, little party pieces?

0:23:000:23:04

We can train the babies up.

0:23:040:23:05

You can't train babies.

0:23:050:23:06

We can send the baby to boot camp.

0:23:060:23:08

We're not going to this competition.

0:23:080:23:09

We're going to go to the competition and win it.

0:23:090:23:12

HUMS DANCE MOVES

0:23:210:23:23

Ah!

0:23:270:23:29

-Does he know the way to Wales?

-Know your way to Wales?

0:23:290:23:32

I think he said yes.

0:23:320:23:33

He's just a bit tired.

0:23:360:23:37

# ..open sleigh. #

0:23:370:23:42

Absolutely unbelievable!

0:23:440:23:46

At last. Where've you been?

0:23:460:23:48

I think he's actually certifiably insane.

0:23:480:23:51

I mean, he dresses like a lunatic.

0:23:510:23:53

And the nonsense that comes out of his mouth.

0:23:530:23:55

This competition... Today, 25 babies show up.

0:23:550:23:58

We're not going to Song For Christmas,

0:23:580:24:00

like I've said 250 times already.

0:24:000:24:02

"No, you haven't." Yes, I have.

0:24:020:24:03

"You never told me." Yes, I did.

0:24:030:24:05

"You promised." I never promised.

0:24:050:24:07

Don.

0:24:070:24:09

You're just insane!

0:24:090:24:10

-Things are about to get worse.

-KNOCK

0:24:100:24:12

-How can they possibly... Who's that?

-It's your father.

0:24:120:24:15

What?

0:24:150:24:16

He phoned a couple of hours ago.

0:24:160:24:18

He wants to come and spend Christmas with us.

0:24:180:24:20

-He can't come here.

-Well, he is.

0:24:200:24:22

-For Christmas?

-Yes.

0:24:220:24:23

Why is he coming here? KNOCKING

0:24:230:24:25

Go and answer the door.

0:24:250:24:26

I don't want him shouting at us.

0:24:260:24:29

WHISPERS: Answer it!

0:24:290:24:31

-At last!

-Hi, Dad.

0:24:320:24:34

What did you think I was? A bunch of carol singers?

0:24:340:24:36

-Hold on. Madge, Madge...

-Nice surprise.

0:24:360:24:38

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

0:24:380:24:41

I thought you knew. Yes.

0:24:410:24:42

For the next two weeks, I'll be away.

0:24:420:24:44

That's right. Absolutely everything.

0:24:440:24:46

Just cancel the lot.

0:24:460:24:48

That's it. Good. Thank you.

0:24:480:24:49

Just one minute. Donald.

0:24:490:24:52

Coat.

0:24:520:24:53

Thank you.

0:24:550:24:57

-Hi, Dad.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:24:580:25:00

Well, I have had the journey from hell.

0:25:000:25:03

Oh, sorry to hear that.

0:25:030:25:05

Sit, Donald.

0:25:050:25:08

So, new house.

0:25:080:25:10

New town. New job.

0:25:100:25:11

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:25:110:25:13

I'm not going to beat about the bush.

0:25:130:25:15

Your job, a primary school teacher, is leading you nowhere.

0:25:150:25:19

How much a year do you get paid?

0:25:190:25:21

This job isn't about the money. That's not...

0:25:210:25:24

Everything is about the money, Donald.

0:25:240:25:26

Do you know what your brother has gone on to do?

0:25:260:25:29

Oh, I know...

0:25:290:25:30

Are you aware, frankly, of what that boy has achieved already?

0:25:300:25:33

And what he's going to achieve.

0:25:330:25:35

Your brother is going to be on TV tomorrow night

0:25:350:25:38

in A Song For Christmas.

0:25:380:25:39

-A Song For Christmas?

-Yes.

0:25:390:25:41

A competition.

0:25:410:25:42

Which he undoubtedly will win.

0:25:420:25:44

Roderick's choir is the best in the country.

0:25:440:25:49

I've actually never said this to anybody

0:25:490:25:51

but when I looked at you both in that cot,

0:25:510:25:53

when you were both born, I could see this little halo above you

0:25:530:25:56

and I thought to myself, "You're going to be the one.

0:25:560:25:58

"You're going to be the one to take on the mantle.

0:25:580:26:01

"The Peterson mantle.

0:26:010:26:02

"And go on and achieve."

0:26:020:26:04

And somehow a cloud came over you.

0:26:040:26:07

And it shone on the other child.

0:26:080:26:10

And that child took off.

0:26:100:26:12

I'm very proud of your brother. I really am.

0:26:120:26:14

I make no bones of it.

0:26:140:26:16

I am disappointed in you.

0:26:160:26:18

And have been for quite some time.

0:26:180:26:20

Roderick this, Roderick that.

0:26:200:26:22

"Isn't Roderick amazing?

0:26:220:26:24

"Look at his amazing job."

0:26:240:26:25

Look at this.

0:26:250:26:27

Everyone says we look alike.

0:26:270:26:28

I don't think we look at all like each other.

0:26:280:26:30

No, I don't think you look like each other either.

0:26:300:26:32

I'm certainly not entering that competition now.

0:26:340:26:37

I'm really sorry to call you here so early

0:26:400:26:42

but Operation Song For Christmas is underway.

0:26:420:26:44

The most important thing is the guys staying behind to cover...

0:26:440:26:47

you've got to make sure that Mrs Bevan

0:26:470:26:49

thinks the lessons are still running.

0:26:490:26:51

Do you want to go to Song For Christmas?

0:29:160:29:18

-ALL:

-Yeah!

0:29:180:29:19

My wife is at home, pregnant,

0:29:190:29:21

with a baby that could arrive any second

0:29:210:29:22

and I have no phone, no way of getting in touch.

0:29:220:29:24

Please turn this bus around.

0:29:240:29:26

Just tell her in the morning you had a sleepover.

0:29:260:29:28

Why would I have a sleepover?

0:29:280:29:30

Mr Maddens used to have sleepovers at mine.

0:29:300:29:32

I'm a grown man. Grown men don't have sleepovers.

0:29:320:29:34

Yes, they do. And midnight feasts.

0:29:340:29:37

Oh, yeah!

0:29:370:29:38

Mr Poppy, my brother is entering this competition.

0:29:380:29:40

-You've got a brother?

-Yeah.

0:29:400:29:42

Now, my brother is a world-class classical composer and conductor.

0:29:420:29:46

You really want to break little Pixie's heart?

0:29:460:29:48

She's just lost her grandma.

0:29:480:29:50

This Song For Christmas means everything to her.

0:29:500:29:52

How is this going to help?

£60. That's my final offer. Quick, untie me.

0:30:360:30:40

Get me out of this chair.

0:30:400:30:41

All right, I'll get you out but I need some money.

0:30:410:30:43

-I haven't got any.

-He told me he's got £60.

Step... Just step aside.

-He doesn't...

-Thank you, Malcolm.

No, anywhere. It doesn't matter.

He's gone to Song For Christmas.

0:33:170:33:18

What, and they left you here?

0:33:180:33:20

He just went off without me.

0:33:200:33:21

-How do I know you're telling the truth?

-I always tell the truth.

0:33:210:33:25

-Do you think I'm ugly?

-Yes.

0:33:250:33:27

That's not very nice.

0:33:270:33:29

I was telling the truth.

0:33:290:33:30

All right, let me just consult my team

0:33:300:33:32

and then I'll be back to you with an answer.

Wait two minutes, please, caller.

0:33:340:33:36

I didn't do it.

0:34:530:34:54

-This is really serious.

-It's got nothing to do with me.

0:34:540:34:58

Mr Peterson, it's a sign.

0:34:580:35:01

-Yes!

-It's a sign we're in a lot of trouble.

Oh, look, there's a letter.

What does it say?

"Heard you needed a baby for Song For Christmas.

0:35:070:35:12

"I hope I'm all right for you."

You're more than all right. This baby's gorgeous.

Oh, this is the best Christmas ever.

0:35:200:35:22

You're right, Mr Peterson. it is the best Christmas ever.

0:35:220:35:24

I was being sarcastic.

0:35:240:35:27

You're going to help us win Song For Christmas.

0:35:270:35:29

Yes, you are.

0:35:290:35:31

-Who's coming next?

-CHILDREN: Me!

0:37:300:37:31

No, I know, I know.

0:37:310:37:33

It's all right. It's all right.

0:37:330:37:35

-Just breathe.

-Mr Poppy.

0:37:350:37:37

-Be back for you in a minute.

-Mr Poppy!

0:37:370:37:38

Oh, wow!

0:37:450:37:47

-A donkey!

-Aww.

0:37:470:37:49

Hello, donkey.

0:37:490:37:51

It's probably a sign, Mr Peterson.

0:37:510:37:54

It's not a sign. It's a donkey.

0:37:540:37:55

Well, it can help us carry Mary.

0:37:550:37:57

We can't just take this donkey. It'll be somebody's property.

0:37:570:37:59

Maybe it's trying to show us the way.

0:37:590:38:02

Do you know the way?

0:38:020:38:03

DONKEY BRAYS

0:38:030:38:04

I think we've found ourselves a magic donkey.

0:38:040:38:06

Really?

0:38:060:38:08

-Ready, Mary?

-Yeah.

0:38:080:38:09

-Ready, everyone else?

-ALL: Yeah.

0:38:090:38:11

Come on, then, donkey.

0:38:110:38:12

OK, let's go.

0:38:120:38:14

Let's follow the magic talking donkey.

0:38:140:38:17

CLOCK CHIMES

0:38:190:38:22

Wow.

0:38:220:38:24

Well, this is it, Oakmoorians.

0:38:240:38:27

This is our destiny.

0:38:270:38:29

This is the seat of kings and the site of many battles

0:38:290:38:32

and we are going to win.

0:38:320:38:34

We are going to win the Song For Christmas!

0:38:340:38:38

All right. To the castle. Gracie, lead the line.

0:38:380:38:41

Grace, stop. Stop, stop. Where's Eleanor?

0:38:470:38:51

Where's Eleanor?

0:38:510:38:54

Wh... Where? Where's Eleanor? When did you see her last?

0:38:540:38:57

ALL: The toilets, sir.

0:38:570:38:58

Was anybody looking to make sure she was getting back on the bus?

0:38:580:39:01

We were too busy turning round the sign, sir.

0:39:010:39:04

Shut up. Now, we mustn't let this distract us.

0:39:040:39:07

Keep coming through. Come on.

0:39:070:39:09

-Don't ever say that again.

-Win, win, win when we sing, sing, sing.

0:39:090:39:12

ALL CHANT: Win, win, win when we sing, sing, sing.

0:39:120:39:16

Why are you stopping? Keep going.

0:39:170:39:19

Why are you...?

0:39:190:39:21

GOTHIC MUSIC

0:39:240:39:26

That's St Cuthbert's.

0:39:360:39:37

Eyes front.

0:39:370:39:39

It's Roderick.

0:39:390:39:41

Angel Matthews, please make your way to the Great Hall. Thank you.

0:39:420:39:46

Rhys, Angel is entering the Great Hall now. Over.

0:39:460:39:49

Angel.

0:39:490:39:50

Roderick, it's so wonderful to have you here.

0:39:500:39:53

-Marvellous to see you.

-Thank you so much.

0:39:530:39:55

Thank you so much.

0:39:550:39:57

To have a world-renowned conductor like you here is...

0:39:570:40:00

It's beyond words. I am humbled.

0:40:000:40:02

Me being here is not about the MBEs and the Grammys.

0:40:020:40:06

I'm here as a contestant like anybody else.

0:40:060:40:09

I know exactly what you're saying.

0:40:090:40:11

-I want to make it plain.

-Mm-hm.

0:40:110:40:12

I don't expect any...favouring of our group,

0:40:120:40:16

any sway that you might have over the judging panel.

0:40:160:40:19

We expect to win by merit alone.

0:40:190:40:21

Of course. Absolutely. I know you're a man of integrity.

0:40:210:40:25

Miss Matthews. Um, sorry. Um...

0:40:250:40:27

Rhys, could you please deal with the gentleman?

0:40:270:40:30

A bit concerned I don't have a private space backstage.

0:40:300:40:33

Would that be something we can sort out?

0:40:330:40:35

-Could you show me?

-Of course. It's just down here.

0:40:350:40:37

Terrific. Thank you.

0:40:370:40:38

So it's Oakmoor Primary School.

0:40:380:40:41

What was your name, sir?

0:40:410:40:43

I'm Shakespeare.

0:40:430:40:44

Where's our dressing rooms and everything?

0:40:440:40:47

-It'll be a shared space but...

-A shared space?

0:40:470:40:49

-Yes.

-You're not providing us -

0:40:490:40:51

Oakmoor school -

0:40:510:40:53

with the chance that other schools are getting.

0:40:530:40:56

-I'm merely trying to...

-I've got your number, Poirot.

0:40:560:40:58

Don't try it on with me. Come on. Let's go.

0:40:580:41:02

Get away from all this fleece and fluff. I've never seen so much pink.

0:41:020:41:05

You'll get static on you.

0:41:050:41:08

Welcome to Song For Christmas. What's the name of your group?

0:41:080:41:10

The Christmas Puddings.

0:41:100:41:12

-Mr Peterson?

-Yeah?

0:41:150:41:17

I think baby's done a doo-doo. It really stinks.

0:41:170:41:21

Look. Let's try that barn.

0:41:210:41:24

Try and change the baby and get out of this rain. Go on. Let's go.

0:41:240:41:28

-MR PETERSON:

-Wales?!

-A Song For Christmas?

0:41:280:41:30

They are expecting them for a sound check,

0:41:300:41:32

for which they are five hours late.

0:41:320:41:34

But when they get there, they will contact me immediately.

0:41:340:41:37

You have a school party out there with two teachers

0:41:370:41:41

and you have no references to where they are?

0:41:410:41:43

What sort of ship are you running here?

0:41:430:41:45

A very tight ship, Mr Peterson, until your son arrived!

0:41:450:41:48

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:41:480:41:49

Sorry to disturb you, Mrs Bevan.

0:41:490:41:52

Some parents are waiting in the hall.

0:41:520:41:54

Good afternoon, everyone.

0:41:550:41:57

Thank you so much for waiting.

0:41:570:41:59

It appears that they are in transit at the moment.

0:42:000:42:04

-To Wales.

-Wales?

0:42:040:42:07

I think you owe it to everybody in this room

0:42:070:42:10

to give them a clear plan of what you intend to do.

0:42:100:42:13

We're going to go down there. We're going to be there when they arrive.

0:42:130:42:16

IF they arrive.

0:42:160:42:17

If they don't arrive for a while, we'll go and search for them

0:42:170:42:20

and we will not let one hair on their heads be harmed.

0:42:200:42:24

I'm sorry. I don't want to add to any of the trouble.

0:42:240:42:27

Yes?

0:42:270:42:28

-But they might have a baby with them.

-A baby?

0:42:280:42:31

MY baby.

0:42:310:42:33

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:42:330:42:35

Come on. Come on.

0:42:350:42:38

Ooh, you're a bit stinky, aren't you?

0:42:380:42:40

I think you've done quite a lot of poo-poos.

0:42:400:42:43

-All right?

-I thought you might want to, er...

0:42:430:42:46

-..change him.

-Oh. Really?

0:42:470:42:50

You're going to have to do a lot of this, Mr Peterson.

0:42:500:42:52

A lot of nappies and poo and wee.

0:42:520:42:55

Sick.

0:42:550:42:56

Yeah. OK.

0:42:560:42:58

OK.

0:42:580:43:00

BABY FARTS Oh!

0:43:000:43:01

-ALL:

-Urrrgh!

0:43:010:43:04

That is fierce.

0:43:040:43:05

Whoa! Urgh!

0:43:050:43:07

Tommy, can you throw your hat over?

0:43:100:43:12

Oh!

0:43:130:43:15

OK. Sorry, Tommy.

0:43:160:43:18

-Anyone got any scarves?

-Chuck 'em over. Go on.

0:43:180:43:20

Wrap it under.

0:43:200:43:22

Are you really having a baby, Mr Peterson?

0:43:220:43:24

-Yeah.

-What are you having? A boy or a girl?

0:43:240:43:27

-We don't know yet.

-It could be an inbetweenie.

0:43:270:43:30

-I-I don't think you get them.

-Yes, you do, yeah.

0:43:300:43:33

HE MOUTHS

0:43:330:43:35

Who do you prefer? Mummy?

0:43:350:43:37

Or Daddy?

0:43:370:43:38

Mummy...

0:43:380:43:40

-GRUFFLY:

-..or Daddy?

0:43:400:43:41

Mum-my? Or Daddy?

0:43:410:43:43

Whoa! Boats.

0:43:490:43:52

Children! Baby's found some boats. Come over.

0:43:520:43:55

We could use the boats to go down the stream.

0:43:550:43:57

We're walking that way anyway.

0:43:570:43:59

No, no, no, no. We'll never get the donkey in the boat.

0:43:590:44:02

-Donkeys can fly!

-What?

0:44:020:44:04

-Donkeys can fly, can't they?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

0:44:040:44:07

-They'll say yes to anything you say.

-No, they won't.

0:44:070:44:10

-They will. Try it. Go on.

-Who wants to be eaten by a shark?

0:44:100:44:12

No.

0:44:120:44:14

-That's the exception.

-I rest my case.

0:44:140:44:16

That's the exception that proves the rule.

0:44:160:44:18

They only say yes to things they want to do.

0:44:180:44:21

They want to do this. So come on, buckle up. Let's go!

0:44:210:44:24

-We don't have a helmet for the baby.

-Babies don't need helmets.

0:44:240:44:26

-Yes, they do.

-They don't. They bounce.

0:44:260:44:28

I fell off a table when I was a baby.

0:44:280:44:30

Oh, well, that explains quite a lot, frankly.

0:44:300:44:32

-Let baby decide.

-What?

0:44:320:44:35

If baby claps, we go on the boats.

0:44:350:44:37

No! No, no, no.

0:44:370:44:38

-ALL:

-Clap hands, Baby.

0:44:380:44:41

Come on!

0:44:410:44:42

Well, that's cheating.

0:44:430:44:45

THEY ALL CHEER

0:44:450:44:47

It's not going to happen. Is it?

0:44:470:44:49

Thank you.

0:44:490:44:50

Trust me.

0:44:500:44:51

Arghhhh!

0:44:510:44:53

CHILDREN SCREAM

0:44:530:44:54

-DESMOND:

-Hold on tight, Mr Peterson!

0:44:540:44:56

No! Argh!

0:44:580:45:00

Mr Peterson, you doughnut, try and keep up.

0:45:000:45:03

CHILDREN SCREAM

0:45:030:45:05

There's a rock!

0:45:050:45:08

Argh!

0:45:080:45:09

CHILDREN SCREAM

0:45:090:45:11

No! Ah! Argh!

0:45:110:45:13

Whaa! Argh! ARGH!

0:45:140:45:17

Hold on!

0:45:190:45:21

Mr Poppy!

0:45:240:45:27

BABY GIGGLES

0:45:270:45:28

-I don't like this.

-Mr Peterson, it's brilliant.

0:45:280:45:32

Yeah!

0:45:320:45:34

Oh! Ah! Oh! Mr Poppy!

0:45:340:45:37

Mr Peterson, what are you doing?

0:45:370:45:40

Argh!

0:45:400:45:42

Come on!

0:45:420:45:45

Get me out! Get me out! Get me out!

0:45:450:45:48

Why did you decide to jump in?

0:45:520:45:54

We haven't got time for little leisurely swims.

0:45:540:45:57

I didn't jump in. I fell! Ah!

0:45:570:45:59

We need to get going, Mr Peterson. We can't just dally about.

0:45:590:46:02

I nearly drowned!

0:46:020:46:04

You didn't drown. You're fine.

0:46:040:46:07

You're just a little bit wet. Just shake it off like a dog.

0:46:070:46:10

What have you done to me? What have you done?

0:46:100:46:13

I nearly died in a river in the middle of nowhere because of you.

0:46:130:46:17

Look! It's the donkey.

0:46:170:46:20

Wow!

0:46:200:46:22

How did you get here? How did you get here?

0:46:220:46:25

How did you get here?

0:46:250:46:27

-Ha, ha, ha.

-We could have walked...?

0:46:270:46:29

Come on. Let's go to the castle.

0:46:290:46:31

Hello, magic donkey. You flew here, didn't you?

0:46:310:46:35

I told you he could fly!

0:46:350:46:37

# If you long to give to somebody else

0:46:370:46:41

# It's probably Christmas time... #

0:46:410:46:42

-I'm soaking wet.

-We'll find somewhere you can dry off.

0:46:420:46:45

-Calm down.

-Mr Poppy, there's a cave.

-Shall we go in?

0:46:450:46:49

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Why would we go in there?

0:46:490:46:52

-Pixie, do you want to go in the cave?

-Yeah!

0:46:520:46:54

Come on, everybody. Let's go in the cave.

0:46:540:46:57

Come on, then, you.

0:46:570:46:59

Wow. It looks brilliant in here. Come on.

0:46:590:47:02

I don't want to go in the cave either, Mr Peterson.

0:47:020:47:05

No, I don't fancy it much.

0:47:050:47:08

-Who wants to build a fire?

-BOY:

-Me!

0:47:080:47:10

-Are you scared of the dark?

-Yes.

0:47:100:47:13

-I'll do it if you will.

-OK.

0:47:130:47:15

-Deal?

-Yeah.

0:47:150:47:16

-OK. You go first, then.

-OK.

0:47:170:47:19

# Mother, Father

0:47:210:47:24

# Sister, brothers

0:47:240:47:26

# Let all that I have be yours

0:47:260:47:30

# What's yours is mine... #

0:47:300:47:31

Oh, wicked!

0:47:310:47:33

What do you think, Mr Peterson?

0:47:330:47:36

It's very nice, yeah.

0:47:360:47:37

-You still as frightened?

-I wasn't frightened anyway. It was...

0:47:370:47:41

I wanted to make sure it was all right.

0:47:410:47:43

We saved you some spaces.

0:47:430:47:45

# Dressing up in your Sunday best

0:47:450:47:48

# You're blessed and it's Christmas time

0:47:480:47:51

-# Must be it's Christmas time...

-#

0:47:510:47:53

-I'm sorry.

-What for?

0:47:530:47:56

Well, I didn't realise that you were so frightened of water.

0:47:560:47:59

My dad used to...

0:47:590:48:00

He had this thing about toughening us up.

0:48:020:48:04

And one of his brilliant plans was he'd take us swimming every week

0:48:040:48:09

and chuck us in the deep end.

0:48:090:48:11

And he had this real fixation with holding your breath for a long time.

0:48:120:48:17

I think he thought the longer you could hold your breath,

0:48:170:48:20

the more of a man you were.

0:48:200:48:21

So he'd hold us under water.

0:48:210:48:24

It worked for Roderick.

0:48:240:48:25

Just made me scared.

0:48:250:48:27

Dads are rubbish, aren't they?

0:48:270:48:29

I never even got to meet mine.

0:48:290:48:31

-Oh, I'm sorry.

-Mm.

0:48:310:48:33

When I was little, I used to pretend my dad was Father Christmas.

0:48:330:48:36

One Christmas, I stayed up all night, hoping he was going to come

0:48:360:48:39

but he never arrived.

0:48:390:48:40

It's like Tommy. We're both still waiting.

0:48:400:48:45

You can have my dad if you like. I don't want him.

0:48:450:48:47

-BABY CRIES

-Sssh.

0:48:470:48:50

Sssh.

0:48:510:48:53

I've got to speak to my wife. She doesn't know where we are.

0:48:550:48:59

Mr Peterson.

0:48:590:49:00

I really hope you don't mind, but...

0:49:020:49:04

I kept this back for emergencies.

0:49:040:49:07

You've had a phone in that bag this whole time?!

0:49:070:49:11

Yeah.

0:49:110:49:12

I thought you might like to call your wife and...

0:49:120:49:14

I cannot believe you.

0:49:140:49:16

There's no signal. Take the baby. Take the baby. Ssh.

0:49:160:49:19

BABY CRIES

0:49:190:49:21

I'm going outside.

0:49:210:49:23

Mr Poppy, is Father Christmas really your dad?

0:49:250:49:29

I wish he was.

0:49:290:49:30

But I don't think so.

0:50:020:50:03

-Donald?

-Donald?!

0:50:030:50:05

-Sarah?

-Donald?

0:50:050:50:07

Oh, man.

0:50:070:50:08

# I need a dad to keep the demons from my door

0:50:080:50:12

# I need a dad to stand beside me... #

0:50:120:50:14

Oh! Oh!

0:50:140:50:16

-Hello?

-Sarah! Sarah, it's me.

0:50:160:50:18

Donald, I love you.

0:50:180:50:20

I love YOU.

0:50:200:50:21

I don't know if you can hear me.

0:50:230:50:25

That idiot!

0:50:250:50:26

# ..still beating for... #

0:50:260:50:29

The silly fool has finally got himself lost.

0:50:290:50:31

What does he think he's doing?

0:50:310:50:33

No idea.

0:50:330:50:34

# I still dream he'll find me

0:50:340:50:37

# Catch me if he can

0:50:370:50:40

# The ties still bind me

0:50:400:50:42

# Lead me down the rocky road

0:50:420:50:45

# And show me who I am... #

0:50:450:50:50

Sarah! Sarah, please wait. Wait!

0:50:500:50:52

Why? The whole of your life, all you've ever done is put him down.

0:50:520:50:56

No wonder he's panicking about how good a father he's going to be.

0:50:560:51:00

You're the only example that he's had.

0:51:000:51:02

You go back in there with Roderick, your favourite son -

0:51:020:51:04

I'm going to find my husband!

0:51:040:51:07

# Everybody's got a dad but me

0:51:070:51:09

# Everybody's got a dad but me... #

0:51:120:51:18

-MR SHAKESPEARE:

-Right, Oakmoorians, this is it.

0:51:190:51:21

What I'm looking for -

0:51:210:51:23

just one or two of you just to nip down the corridor

0:51:230:51:26

and see if we can find out exactly what these other acts are about.

0:51:260:51:31

Let's have a look. Ah. Snow Angels.

0:51:310:51:33

This is Lloyd and his Snowballs.

0:51:330:51:37

I heard them singing in the corridor, Mr Shakespeare.

0:51:370:51:39

-What were they like?

-He's as good as Justin Bieber.

0:51:390:51:42

-Justin Beaver? Who's that?

-He's a singer, Mr Shakespeare.

0:51:420:51:46

Well, we must have a Justin Beaver.

0:51:460:51:48

-Sam, you could do that, couldn't you?

-Yes.

0:51:480:51:50

-Do you know any of his moves?

-No.

0:51:500:51:52

But I've heard that when he swishes his hair, the girls go crazy.

0:51:520:51:55

Swish your hair for me.

0:51:550:51:56

Throw some shapes.

0:51:580:52:00

That's it! You've got it. You can be our Justin Beaver. Excellent.

0:52:000:52:03

So Angels, Christmas Fairies, Puddings, Christmas Joy...

0:52:030:52:07

We can beat all of them, can't we? We've got Justin Beaver.

0:52:070:52:10

Now, let's sing our winning Christmas song.

# When you're down and... #

0:52:170:52:19

Ah.

0:52:190:52:20

Hello. Hi. So great to meet you.

0:52:210:52:23

Um, extraordinary to meet you.

0:52:230:52:25

I can't believe I've got a poster on my wall.

0:52:250:52:27

Would you vacate this room, please?

0:52:270:52:29

S-Sorry?

0:52:290:52:30

As soon as possible, please. The boys need to prepare.

0:52:300:52:32

With all due respect, my children need to prepare as well.

0:52:320:52:35

This is not your room. Would you leave, please?

0:52:350:52:38

It's got a star on the door so it's obviously our room.

0:52:380:52:40

-Come on.

-No, Scott. Don't move.

0:52:400:52:42

Sam...don't move.

0:52:420:52:44

Crispin, can you alert security?

0:52:440:52:46

I see. It's just one rule for one, and one rule for another.

0:52:460:52:50

Can you remove these, please?

0:52:500:52:51

All right, I'll take them. I'll take them. I don't care.

0:52:510:52:54

Sebastian, can...?

0:52:540:52:55

Can I just say, yes, I've got your poster on my wall...

0:52:550:52:58

YOU should have MY poster on your wall.

0:52:580:53:00

That Angel Matthews, the way she looked at me -

0:53:000:53:02

or didn't look at me - I was disgusted.

0:53:020:53:05

It's just too much.

0:53:050:53:07

All my life, I've tried to do well.

0:53:070:53:10

Tried to gain respect, conduct myself with dignity,

0:53:100:53:13

behave impeccably, be an inspiration.

0:53:130:53:18

-I'm Shakespeare.

-Let the small man through, boys.

0:53:180:53:21

I'm Gordon Shakespeare.

0:53:210:53:23

With the emphasis on the Shakespeare.

0:53:230:53:26

We've got Justin Beaver in our team, don't you worry.

0:53:260:53:29

Ignore the silly little man.

0:53:290:53:31

OK, boys, it's time.

0:53:310:53:33

Inhale success.

0:53:330:53:34

Exhale doubt.

0:53:360:53:37

Inhale.

0:53:390:53:40

Hold that breath.

0:53:420:53:44

Hold...that...breath.

0:53:440:53:47

Sound check, sound check, sound check.

0:53:470:53:50

One, two, three. One two, three.

0:53:500:53:51

Name's Angel Matthews, for those of you who don't know.

0:53:510:53:53

That normally gets a big laugh, cos everybody does know who I am.

0:53:530:53:56

-OPERATICALLY:

-# Oh, holy night

0:53:560:53:59

# While stars are brightly shining... #

0:53:590:54:04

She just won't shut up. How long's this going on for?

0:54:040:54:06

Little wave and off. Angel has left the stage. Thank you.

0:54:060:54:09

We're just going to run through our number and head off.

0:54:090:54:12

No photography in the auditorium, please. Not during our rehearsal.

MELANCHOLIC CHORAL MUSIC

0:55:300:55:35

# When you're poor at Christmas

0:55:490:55:53

# When you're down and out

0:55:530:55:56

# When you've no food left to eat

0:55:560:55:58

# And you've no shoes on your feet

0:55:580:56:00

# And there's nothing in your sack, nothing and nowt

0:56:000:56:04

# There's no magic at Christmas... #

0:56:040:56:06

-It's very musical theatre, isn't it?

-Oh, in the worst possible sense.

0:56:060:56:10

-Lowest common denominator.

-Derivative, yeah.

0:56:100:56:12

The audiences love this kind of thing.

0:56:120:56:15

Really?

0:56:150:56:16

# Christmas ain't for paupers

0:56:160:56:19

# Not for scum like us

0:56:190:56:22

# No nice presents to unwrap

0:56:220:56:24

# Just a bin bag full of rubbish

0:56:240:56:26

# And a big spot on your chin oozing with pus... #

0:56:260:56:31

ALL: Happy Christmas!

0:56:310:56:33

Christmas comes but once a year

0:56:350:56:37

but not for these boys and girls, I fear.

0:56:370:56:41

Not for them are those Christmas pies.

0:56:410:56:43

Christmas is...a pack of lies!

0:56:430:56:47

Bwa-ha-ha!

0:56:470:56:49

# Whe-e-e-ere is Christmas?

0:56:520:56:57

# Hiding underneath the tree? #

0:56:570:57:02

But this kind of...sentimentality...

0:57:020:57:05

...it's rather rewarded, is it?

0:57:070:57:09

A little boy in a hat and glasses, singing his little heart out.

0:57:090:57:14

That's what wins prizes, I'm afraid.

0:57:140:57:18

Ah.

Merry Christmas!

0:57:420:57:44

Solo like that could really win you the competition, Roderick.

0:57:470:57:51

Really?

0:57:510:57:53

And they're definitely on after us in the running order, yes?

0:57:530:57:57

Yes, that's right. They are.

0:57:570:57:59

Interesting.

0:57:590:58:00

-DESMOND:

-Mr Peterson, it could go...

0:58:020:58:04

HE SINGS A MUSICAL PHRASE

0:58:040:58:07

Let's all stop here for five minutes.

0:58:070:58:09

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are we stopping?

0:58:090:58:12

We've got to get going.

0:58:120:58:13

Listen. We need to properly talk about what we do next.

0:58:130:58:16

-What do you mean?

-These children are cold and tired.

0:58:160:58:19

The children are fine.

0:58:190:58:20

It'll be very dark very soon. And then we'll be stuck.

0:58:200:58:23

-Look, Jessie and Pixie are passing out up there.

-Yeah.

0:58:230:58:25

Jessie and Pixie are my children, and I know all about them!

0:58:250:58:28

Mr Poppy, they are NOT your children, all right?

0:58:280:58:31

They're not your children, you're a classroom assistant

0:58:310:58:33

and you're not a very good classroom assistant

0:58:330:58:35

because you've led these children to the middle of nowhere and now what?

0:58:350:58:39

This is not a great, big adventure.

0:58:390:58:40

This is serious and we're in trouble.

0:58:400:58:42

I'd like to think that you were going to help us get out of here.

0:58:420:58:45

But, frankly, so far I've seen nothing but irresponsibility.

0:58:450:58:48

So grow up, stop behaving like a child, and help me to sort this out.

0:58:480:58:52

Do you know who you sound like, Mr Peterson?

0:58:540:58:57

Your dad.

0:58:580:59:00

That is...

0:59:040:59:06

I don't think I'm ever going to get a best friend.

0:59:180:59:20

I'll be your best friend.

0:59:200:59:22

But you'll just leave, like everyone else,

0:59:220:59:24

cos you'll leave school and move on.

0:59:240:59:26

I need a friend I can be with forever.

0:59:260:59:28

A forever friend.

0:59:280:59:29

I'll be your friend forever.

0:59:290:59:31

-Really?

-Yep.

0:59:310:59:33

Your best friend.

0:59:330:59:34

What's that, Mr Peterson?

0:59:390:59:41

Oh, it's just a little thing my mummy gave me, a long time ago.

0:59:420:59:46

That's my brother. We're twins.

0:59:460:59:49

He's got the other half. Well, at least he used to.

0:59:490:59:52

When you put it together, it makes a heart.

0:59:520:59:55

But we don't really see each other any more, me and my brother. No.

0:59:550:59:59

Did you have an argument, like you just did with Mr Poppy?

0:59:591:00:03

Not really an argument. We were just...

1:00:031:00:06

very different types of people.

1:00:061:00:08

I think you should say sorry to Mr Poppy.

1:00:101:00:12

Yeah, maybe I should.

1:00:151:00:18

I'm not very good at saying sorry.

1:00:181:00:21

Come on, Mr Peterson.

1:00:211:00:22

Oh, all right.

1:00:251:00:27

Oh, ssh! He's coming.

1:00:271:00:29

-I'm not speaking to him.

-OK.

1:00:311:00:32

I'm going to have to do all my speaking through you.

1:00:321:00:35

Pixie has convinced me that perhaps I snapped a little,

1:00:381:00:42

and I've come to apologise.

1:00:421:00:44

Tell Mr Peterson I've just had about enough

1:00:441:00:46

of him making promises and then breaking them.

1:00:461:00:49

Mr Poppy's had enough of you

1:00:501:00:53

promising promises and breaking promises.

1:00:531:00:57

It's not exactly what I said, but it'll do.

1:00:571:00:59

Pixie, can you convince Mr Poppy that I'm genuinely sorry?

1:00:591:01:03

Mr Peterson says that he's convenuinely sorry.

1:01:031:01:08

Jessie, can you ask Mr Poppy where the baby is?

1:01:081:01:10

-Cleo, have you got the baby?

-Yeah, but I gave it to Sadie.

1:01:101:01:13

-Sadie, have you got the baby?

-Yeah, but then I gave it to Elena.

1:01:131:01:16

-Who's got the baby?

-Where is the baby?

1:01:161:01:17

-Where's the baby?

-We can't have lost the baby!

1:01:171:01:20

-Baby!

-CHILDREN CALL OUT

1:01:201:01:22

Mr Peterson, I'm really, really sorry.

1:01:221:01:24

I should never have taken the class, escaped from school, and got to...

1:01:241:01:28

Mr Poppy. That's not helping.

1:01:281:01:30

BA-A-A-A-A-ABY-Y-Y-Y-Y!

1:01:301:01:33

-Baby!

-Ba-a-a-aby-y-y-y!

1:01:371:01:41

Hey.

1:01:441:01:45

Hey, Louise.

1:01:451:01:47

You had us scared to death. BABY CRIES

1:01:471:01:50

Did you bring this baby today?

1:01:501:01:52

I just thought she'd like to be in the Song For Christmas.

1:01:521:01:56

Oh, Louise.

1:01:561:01:58

Mr Peterson!

1:02:031:02:05

Hey, look.

1:02:051:02:07

-Look, we've found her.

-He's found the baby!

1:02:071:02:09

BABY CRIES

1:02:091:02:12

That's too high! Goodness' sakes!

1:02:121:02:15

Shh. Mr Poppy.

1:02:151:02:17

-We're in this mountain range here, yeah?

-Yeah.

1:02:171:02:20

-The castle is just over that mountain.

-Just over there.

1:02:201:02:23

-Well, we can't climb that mountain.

-Yes, we can.

1:02:231:02:26

Isn't there a way round the side or...?

1:02:261:02:27

We haven't got time to go around the side, Mr Peterson.

1:02:271:02:30

We're going to have to go over.

1:02:301:02:32

# Yes, we can climb the mountain

1:02:321:02:35

# If we all share the load

1:02:351:02:37

# Yes, we can reach the summit at the end of the road

1:02:371:02:42

# If we lift our hearts to heaven

1:02:421:02:45

# And reach out for the stars

1:02:451:02:47

# Yes, we can climb the mountain

1:02:471:02:49

# Cos the mountain is ours

1:02:491:02:52

# # Let the white winter weather

1:02:521:02:54

# Try and hinder our climb

1:02:541:02:56

# Yes, we can climb the mountain

1:02:561:02:59

# Because it's Christmas time

1:02:591:03:02

# It's Christmas time. #

1:03:021:03:06

I can see the castle!

1:03:061:03:08

CHILDREN CHEER

1:03:081:03:10

Whoa.

1:03:101:03:12

Right, come on. Let's get back from the edge.

1:03:121:03:15

Stay back, everyone. We've got to turn back.

1:03:151:03:18

Everyone, we've got to go back the way we came.

1:03:181:03:20

-We can't go back.

-Well, we can't fly off that.

1:03:201:03:23

We've got to get to Song For Christmas.

1:03:231:03:25

We can't fly off the cliff!

1:03:251:03:27

So we're not going to Song For Christmas?

1:03:271:03:29

-Please, Mr Peterson.

-I don't know what you want me to say.

1:03:291:03:32

-We can't... We can't fly. I'm sorry.

-Please, Mr Peterson.

-Look...

1:03:321:03:34

if you've got a way for us to get down this cliff,

1:03:341:03:37

we can talk about it.

1:03:371:03:38

It's not about us having a way, is it, Mr Peterson?

1:03:381:03:41

Because you don't believe in anyway we ever do,

1:03:411:03:43

-because you're always down on everything I suggest.

-OK.

1:03:431:03:45

-Tell me how we're going to do it.

-I've got a rope, actually.

1:03:451:03:49

Look, do you really believe we can suspend

1:03:491:03:51

14 children, a baby and a donkey off the side of this mountain?

1:03:511:03:54

The problem is, Mr Peterson, is YOU don't believe we can.

1:03:541:03:58

-Yes, we can, Mr Peterson.

-Yes, we can, Mr Peterson.

1:03:581:04:00

1:04:111:04:14

-Do you believe, Mr Peterson?

-Not really.

1:04:141:04:17

-Oh!

-But I'm willing to give it a go.

1:04:171:04:19

-Don't push your luck.

-Get the rope! Come on!

1:04:191:04:21

-You're fine.

-This is awesome!

1:04:231:04:26

Don't look down!

1:04:261:04:28

Just... That's it.

1:04:301:04:32

-Hold on to the rope. That's it.

-Whoa!

1:04:331:04:36

Whoa, steady. Steady.

1:04:361:04:37

Are you all right, Bill?

1:04:371:04:39

Careful.

1:04:391:04:40

MR POPPY BRAYS

1:04:551:04:56

Concentrate on the rope!

1:04:561:04:58

-I'm trying to communicate with the donkey.

-It's very heavy!

1:04:581:05:01

-Go, Tommy.

-Steady.

1:05:051:05:06

-You're fine.

-My whole strength. That's all I've got.

1:05:081:05:10

Well, hold it tight. I'm losing grip.

1:05:101:05:12

I'm holding it tight.

1:05:121:05:14

1:05:141:05:16

1:05:211:05:24

1:05:241:05:26

-Just stay there. You're fine.

-Keep looking up.

1:05:261:05:29

You have to go down there, Mr Peterson.

1:05:291:05:32

-I can't go down there.

-You HAVE to go down.

1:05:321:05:35

-Well, why can't you do it?

-Because you're the teacher.

1:05:351:05:38

This is your moment, Mr Peterson. You've got to go down there.

1:05:381:05:43

I'll spot you. I'll hold the rope.

1:05:431:05:46

All right. All right, tie me off. Come on.

1:05:461:05:49

Mr Peterson's coming down.

1:05:581:06:00

Slowly. Slowly.

1:06:041:06:07

1:06:121:06:15

Hang on in there.

1:06:151:06:16

OK, a bit lower.

1:06:161:06:18

1:06:181:06:20

OK. Reach out.

1:06:201:06:23

Take my hand. Take my hand.

1:06:251:06:27

OK, I've got you. I've got you. You're not going to fall.

Get their attention! It's a helicopter.

1:06:401:06:43

It's going to be all right, Tommy. You're going to be all right.

1:06:431:06:46

There they are! Straight down there!

1:06:461:06:49

We need to put a line down.

1:08:221:08:23

Hello.

1:08:231:08:25

Welcome to Castle Llawen and the event of the year -

1:08:251:08:29

A Song For Christmas.

1:08:291:08:31

-Stay close. Good evening.

-Hi there.

1:08:311:08:33

I need to speak to St Bernadette's. I believe them to be here

1:08:331:08:36

and I believe there to be 14 abducted children and a baby.

1:08:361:08:39

-I'm afraid they're not here.

-I must look.

1:08:391:08:41

-Excuse me.

-I can't let you through, madam.

1:08:411:08:43

-You have to let me through.

-Unless you're registered...

1:08:431:08:46

This is a matter for the police unless you move. Out of my way.

1:08:461:08:48

Where's your tie? Smarten yourself up.

1:08:481:08:50

I didn't bring a tie.

1:08:501:08:51

but I can't let you through, madam, without someone seeing you through.

1:08:511:08:54

This year, as every year, we're looking for that special song

1:08:541:08:58

that embodies the spirit of Christmas.

1:08:581:09:00

I don't need to remind you of what the prizes are.

1:09:001:09:02

They are phenomenal.

1:09:021:09:04

£10,000.

1:09:041:09:05

A chance to record a record with United World Music

1:09:051:09:08

and also a shot at the Christmas number one -

1:09:081:09:10

and you can't put a price on that.

1:09:101:09:12

I know, cos I've had one. And a number seven the next year.

1:09:121:09:16

So, without further ado,

1:09:161:09:17

I would like to introduce to you our esteemed panel.

1:10:111:10:16

-DESMOND:

-Mr Peterson?

-Yeah?

1:10:161:10:18

You know that feeling when you're really looking forward to something

1:10:181:10:21

and it finally happens and you feel a little tiny bit sick?

1:10:211:10:25

Mr Poppy...don't get cold feet now!

1:10:261:10:29

Not after everything we've been through. We're here. We've made it!

1:10:291:10:32

# It's a feeling you can't explain

1:10:321:10:36

Let us in! We really wanna win Song For Christmas.

1:10:521:10:55

I'm afraid the rules state no late entries.

1:10:551:10:57

-There's nothing else I can do. I'm sorry.

-Mr Peterson!

1:10:571:11:00

I've tied the donkey up outside

1:11:001:11:02

and it's pooing all over the front steps!

1:11:021:11:04

Donkey? Poo?

1:11:041:11:06

-Everybody, run.

-Let's go. Let's go. Come on.

1:12:131:12:16

I may not have any children of my own, but YOU are the nearest thing,

1:17:321:17:36

and I've missed you and I love you.

1:17:361:17:39

Oh!

1:17:391:17:42

Thanks, Auntie Pat.

1:17:421:17:44

# Wishes, wishes Little fairy wishes

1:17:441:17:46

# We can give you all our tiny kisses

1:17:461:17:49

# Wishes, wishes Little fairy spell

1:17:491:17:51

# Put you in a Christmas wishing well. #

1:17:511:17:54

That's our baby.

1:18:001:18:01

Thank you.

1:18:031:18:04

What a lovely surprise.

1:18:041:18:06

What are you doing here?

1:18:081:18:10

Well, right now, I'm just recovering the baby you kidnapped.

1:18:101:18:13

You've got the baby.

1:18:151:18:17

Whoa!

1:18:171:18:19

We're taking that baby back now.

1:18:191:18:21

Apparently the judges are rather tempted

1:18:211:18:23

by that kind of mawkish sentimentality.

1:18:231:18:25

This is not your baby and you're not taking it from us.

1:18:251:18:27

Donald, I can take anything I want from you. Give me the baby.

1:18:271:18:31

Boys. No, no. No, you're not.

1:18:311:18:33

-Don't try and intimidate us...

-I'm not moving from this space.

1:18:331:18:36

-..with the dead eye.

-Take the baby!

1:18:361:18:38

Get back!

1:18:381:18:39

# Give me your number, call me, little fairy

1:18:391:18:41

# You don't get our number, we're too wary

1:18:411:18:44

# Give me your number, you look good

1:18:441:18:46

# Fairies don't get on with the boyz in the hood, yeah

1:18:461:18:49

# Come to me, you pretty things... #

1:18:491:18:51

Lock them in.

1:18:511:18:52

# And let me ride your fairy wings

1:18:521:18:53

# Give me wishes all night long

1:18:531:18:56

# And sing to me your fairy song

1:18:561:18:59

# Go, fairies! #

1:18:591:19:01

CHEERING

1:19:011:19:04

Let us out! Let us out! Hey!

1:19:041:19:08

-Merry Christmas, darling brother.

-Roderick!

1:19:081:19:11

Roderick! Get back...!

1:19:111:19:13

Can I help you?

1:19:141:19:16

Christmas is a time when we all start to think

1:19:171:19:20

about the real meaning of Advent.

1:19:201:19:23

Chocolates on the calendar.

1:19:231:19:24

Last-minute shopping on the internet.

1:19:241:19:27

Little boys and girls looking out of the window,

1:19:271:19:30

wondering if Santa's going to bring them that toy

1:19:301:19:33

they've been wanting all year round.

1:19:331:19:36

So now, without further ado...

1:19:361:19:39

Bring it up, bring it up.

1:19:391:19:41

...I would like to introduce to you Shane and the Calendar Girls,

1:19:411:19:46

singing Counting Down For Christmas.

1:19:461:19:49

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

1:19:491:19:51

You can keep your peace on Earth.

1:19:531:19:57

You can keep your holy birth.

1:19:571:19:59

Keep your frankincense and myrrh.

1:20:011:20:03

Christmas cheer...what's that worth?

1:20:041:20:06

I want something I can use.

1:20:071:20:11

Designer clothes or groovy shoes.

1:20:111:20:14

I want diamonds big and rough.

1:20:141:20:17

# All I want is Christmas stuff

1:20:171:20:24

# Counting down to Christmas every day

1:20:261:20:30

# 24 windows to go

1:20:301:20:33

# Hoping that we're going to get stuff, oh-oh-oh

1:20:331:20:36

# Holding out for Santa, ho-ho-ho

1:20:361:20:39

# Counting down to Christmas all the way

1:20:391:20:42

# Feeling kind of glad I'm alive

1:20:421:20:45

# Waiting for my stuff to arrive

1:20:451:20:48

# Hope I get a fast car I can drive

1:20:481:20:51

# You can keep your peace on Earth... #

1:20:511:20:53

THEY ALL SHOUT

1:20:531:20:55

# You can keep your holy birth

1:20:551:20:58

1:21:251:21:28

Oh, that was wonderful. Well done.

1:21:301:21:33

That's lovely. Aw.

1:21:331:21:35

Well, no-one likes a show-off, do they?

1:21:351:21:37

So, it is with great pleasure and humility

1:21:371:21:41

that I introduce to you

1:21:411:21:43

a choir that is, in my opinion, the best choir on the stage tonight.

1:21:431:21:46

St Cuthbert's.

1:21:461:21:48

They are singing Peace And Joy.

1:21:481:21:51

Enjoy.

1:21:511:21:53

# Hear the good news

# Rejoice, rejoice, our hearts are strong

1:22:131:22:15

1:22:171:22:19

# A joy across the world

-SOLO:

-# Where is Christmas?

1:22:451:22:51

# Hiding underneath the tree? #

1:22:511:22:54

That's my song.

1:22:541:22:56

That... That's...

1:22:561:22:57

# Christmas is coming to everyone but me

1:22:571:23:02

WHOLE CHOIR: # Where is Christmas? #

1:23:021:23:07

HE MUTTERS

1:23:071:23:08

# Where is she?

1:23:081:23:13

# Can it be that Christmas has abandoned me?

1:23:131:23:19

Roderick Peterson OBE.

1:23:491:23:51

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:23:511:23:53

Mr Shakespeare! Mr Shakespeare!

1:23:531:23:57

Mr Poppy, they've stolen my song!

1:23:571:24:00

St Cuthbert's locked us in here!

1:24:001:24:02

Look, we can't get out. Could you let us out?

1:24:021:24:04

So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce the next act.

1:24:041:24:07

Although I'm not sure there's much point

1:24:071:24:08

in them coming out on stage after that.

1:24:081:24:11

-Stay in your dressing rooms!

-SHE LAUGHS

1:24:111:24:13

No, I'm only joking.

1:24:131:24:14

All the way from Coventry, it's St Bernadette's.

1:24:141:24:17

CHEERING

1:24:171:24:19

I'm sorry. Actually, they have been disqualified.

1:24:221:24:25

You've been disqualified. How did that happen?

1:24:261:24:29

Um, it's Oakmoor Choir, singing A Dickens Christmas.

1:24:291:24:34

Follow that!

1:24:341:24:35

You can be Oakmoor. Pretend to be us. Take our place.

1:24:391:24:42

Just go on there. Just beat that RODERICK!

1:24:421:24:45

Hideous man.

1:24:451:24:46

Yeah, we'll beat him. Push us on.

1:24:461:24:48

Come on, guys. It's Shakespeare's Globe!

1:24:481:24:52

Yes!

1:24:521:24:53

CHEERING

1:25:021:25:04

# Used to be afraid of my own shadow

1:25:071:25:12

# Used to think I'd never make the grade

1:25:121:25:17

# Too scared to even dream the dream

1:25:171:25:19

# Unsure of everything it means

1:25:191:25:22

# But now my hopes are high, my life has changed

1:25:221:25:26

# So bring on all your distant horizons

1:25:491:25:51

# The mountain is ours

1:25:561:25:59

# Yes, we can, I'm sure we can

1:25:591:26:01

# Never had too much belief in Christmas

1:26:011:26:05

# Never had a Christmas wish come true

1:26:061:26:11

# Never quite believed in why a baby born into a sty

1:26:111:26:16

# Should have a thing to do with me or you

1:26:161:26:20

# But now I feel the magic without me

1:26:211:26:26

# And the stars shining down light the way

1:26:261:26:30

# Yes, we can feel the loving and the hope on the way

1:26:301:26:35

# Yes, we can keep on climbing till the end of the day

1:26:351:26:40

# Let the white winter weather try and hinder our climb

1:26:401:26:45

# Yes, we can climb the mountain because it's Christmas time

1:27:061:27:11

# But don't forget about the baby who was born in the hay

1:27:111:27:17

WILD CHEERING

1:29:151:29:19

I've got it! I've got it!

1:29:301:29:32

-Congratulations!

-SHE SQUEALS

1:29:321:29:35

Congratulations!

1:29:351:29:36

-Yay! Oh, baby!

-You were amazing!

1:29:361:29:39

-Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

-All right, all right.

1:29:391:29:41

Brilliant, wasn't it?

1:29:411:29:42

For the last few hours, we've been trying to find you, you stupid boy.

1:29:421:29:46

We did an encore. I don't know if you saw that, big man.

1:29:461:29:49

-But we did an encore out there.

-Who is this village idiot?

1:29:491:29:53

This is Mr Poppy, and he's the one who wrote the song.

1:29:531:29:55

Oh, really? Is that what you call it?

1:29:551:29:57

Which one? The first or the second? Cos we did two.

1:29:571:30:00

Yeah, we did... HE LAUGHS

1:30:001:30:03

We're still going to win the competition.

1:30:031:30:05

You know what? Oh, I'm sure you are going to win.

1:30:051:30:07

And I hope you take the prize

1:30:071:30:09

and I hope you shove it up your nose!

1:30:091:30:11

We went out there and had fun!

1:30:111:30:14

And that might not be important to you, Roderick,

1:30:141:30:16

and it might not add up to all your OBEs,

1:30:161:30:19

and all your reviews in newspapers,

1:30:191:30:22

and all your international prizes,

1:30:221:30:24

but having fun is pretty bloomin' important!

1:30:241:30:27

There is no need to be so patronising to your brother.

1:30:271:30:31

Shut up!

1:30:311:30:33

How DARE you speak to your father like that?!

1:30:331:30:35

I dare! I dare to tell you to shut up!

1:30:351:30:40

And you! Both of you.

1:30:401:30:42

-Can I have a go?

-Yeah, go on.

1:30:421:30:44

-Shut up!

-Yeah!

1:30:441:30:45

Yeah, and you shut up.

1:30:451:30:47

I don't need you any more.

1:30:471:30:49

I've got a proper family now. Look. And a baby on the way.

1:30:491:30:52

This is my family.

1:30:521:30:53

Yeah. Yeah. And HE'S my family.

1:30:531:30:56

This. This stupid, crazy man dressed like a star

1:30:561:31:00

who talks nonsense and drives buses that swim

1:31:001:31:04

and gets us stranded on mountains and nearly drowns me in a river.

1:31:041:31:08

He, in one day,

1:31:081:31:10

has been more of a brother to me than you have EVER been!

1:31:101:31:14

Can you please keep your voices down?

1:31:141:31:16

Oh, you can shut up, too!

1:31:161:31:18

Roderick, what's going on here?

1:31:181:31:20

Angel, I'm afraid you'll have to call security.

1:31:201:31:22

They have been disqualified and are refusing to leave.

1:31:221:31:24

-Right, right. Rhys, Rhys.

-No! No!

1:31:241:31:27

Jub-jib-jib-jab-jahh!

1:31:271:31:29

Don't bother calling security.

1:31:291:31:31

We're leaving, very happily,

1:31:311:31:33

with dignity and our heads held high.

1:31:331:31:36

Good night, good luck, merry Christmas,

1:31:361:31:40

thank you very much.

1:31:401:31:41

As of now, you are officially banned from the building.

1:31:411:31:45

If you are found, you will be arrested.

1:31:451:31:47

Get out of the way!

1:31:471:31:48

Sorry, can I just say I am a huge fan of your work.

1:31:481:31:51

-Can I get an autograph?

-Go on, then. Have you got a pen?

1:31:511:31:53

-Have you got a pen?

-Poppy!

1:31:531:31:55

Right. I can post it.

1:31:551:31:57

Cheer up, it's Christmas!

1:31:571:31:59

I'm going to need a jab.

1:32:031:32:05

CHEERING

1:32:061:32:09

OK, so what an evening it's been, ladies and gentlemen.

1:32:091:32:12

What an evening. But now the moment of truth.

1:32:121:32:15

It's make-your-mind-up-time, judges.

1:32:151:32:17

So while they come to the final -

1:32:171:32:20

and what some people feel foregone - conclusion,

1:32:201:32:24

I'd like to share something with you.

1:32:241:32:26

Tonight, something very special has happened here on the stage...

1:32:261:32:30

and something very special

1:32:301:32:33

has happened here...in my heart.

1:32:331:32:35

And that's the spirit of Christmas.

1:32:371:32:39

We love you, Angel!

1:32:391:32:41

# O, holy night

1:32:451:32:48

# The stars are brightly shining... #

1:32:481:32:52

-Oh!

-You all right?

1:32:521:32:54

-No, it's another one.

-Really?

1:32:541:32:55

Yes!

to crown the winners...

1:35:531:35:55

1:35:551:35:57

1:36:151:36:16

Right, Oakmoor, ladies and gentlemen.

1:36:161:36:18

-HE LAUGHS

-Get out of the way!

1:36:181:36:20

-It wasn't even our song, sir.

-Shh. It doesn't matter.

1:36:231:36:25

Shut up. We've won. Yes!

1:36:251:36:29

DONALD: And so, on that magical night,

1:36:411:36:44

under the stars, in a tumbledown barn,

1:36:441:36:47

the miracle of Christmas happened to me.

1:36:471:36:50

And, just as I'd hoped,

1:36:501:36:52

it really was the best Christmas ever.

1:36:521:36:57

# Peace falls over the valley

1:36:571:37:01

# Everybody all over the world

1:37:161:37:19

# Are you feeling this feeling tonight? #

1:37:191:37:21

Roddy.

1:37:211:37:23

Donald.

1:37:231:37:24

Well, it seems congratulations are in order.

1:37:261:37:28

Yeah. Thank you.

1:37:281:37:30

And you're an uncle. HE LAUGHS

1:37:301:37:34

Yes. Yes, I am.

1:37:341:37:36

Twin boys.

1:37:361:37:38

Let's hope they get on a little better than we've managed.

1:37:381:37:42

Yeah.

1:37:421:37:45

It would be nice...

1:37:451:37:46

..if perhaps we could get the family together a little more often.

1:37:471:37:51

Yeah.

1:37:511:37:52

I'd like that.

1:37:531:37:54

Mm.

1:37:541:37:55

Good.

Merry Christmas.

-DONKEY BRAYS SOFTLY DEEP VOICE:

-Merry Christmas.

1:39:071:39:09

THEY ALL LAUGH

1:39:091:39:11

# When Shan got stuck up the chimney... #

1:39:221:39:24

Sorry. Who is it getting stuck up there? Shnamna?

1:39:241:39:27

-Santa.

-Santa! Go on, then. Sing it.

1:39:271:39:30

# When Shan got stuck up the chimney... #

1:39:301:39:33

It's got... We're missing it, aren't we?

1:39:331:39:35

# Oh, silent night

1:39:351:39:39

# Holy night... #

1:39:391:39:40

Stop it there. Yes, it's pathetic...

1:39:401:39:43

in a very good way.

1:39:431:39:44

Um, Pixie, what's your Christmas wish, Pixie?

1:39:441:39:48

I wish that it would be Christmas every day.

1:39:481:39:51

# I'm a little snowflake... # SHE PUFFS

# We wish you a merry Christmas

# We wish you a merry Christmas... #

1:40:011:40:03

YOU can go and sit down.

1:40:031:40:06

Why did the dog sit by the fire?

1:40:061:40:09

I don't know. Why did the dog sit by the fire?

1:40:091:40:12

Because he wanted to be a hot dog.

1:40:121:40:15

THEY LAUGH

1:40:151:40:18

I want you to be an elf. Think of an elf. Picture that elf.

1:40:181:40:22

And then dance as that elf.

1:40:221:40:24

# Ding-dong merrily on high

1:40:241:40:27

# In heaven bells are ringing... #

1:40:271:40:30

Why... On...

1:40:301:40:31

Why did the cow cross the road?

1:40:341:40:36

I don't know. Why did the cow cross the road?

1:40:361:40:39

To go to the moo-vies.

1:40:391:40:42

The what?

1:40:421:40:43

Moooo-vies.

1:40:431:40:45

1:40:451:40:48

Back to the classrooms. Hang your head in shame.

# With the angelic host proclaim

1:40:521:40:57

# Christ is born in Bethlehem

# Hark! The herald angels sing

1:41:011:41:05

# Glory to the newborn king. #

1:41:051:41:09

Lewis, do you think that kind of singing

1:41:091:41:11

is going to win The Song For Christmas?

1:41:111:41:13

-No, Mr Shakespeare.

-Nor do I. Sit down.

1:41:131:41:16

I do have a sad story but I don't have a song or a dance.

1:41:161:41:20

We love sad stories.

1:41:201:41:21

Sad stories are the things that inspire other things.

1:41:211:41:24

What's your sad story?

1:41:241:41:25

Um, my mum came home from work.

1:41:251:41:27

She went to my nanny's

1:41:271:41:28

and then she found out that my nanny's dog died.

1:41:281:41:33

# Countin' down to Christmas every day

# You can keep your peace on Earth

# Oh, counting down to Christmas... #

1:42:291:42:31

# Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la la-la-la... #

1:42:311:42:36

It's the most miserable "jolly" I've ever seen.

# Holding out for Santa, ho-ho-ho

1:42:391:42:42

# Counting down to Christmas all the way... #

# Jingle bells, jingle bells Batman smells

1:42:451:42:49

# Santa got stuck up the chimney

1:42:491:42:52

# And then he lost his willy. #

Hoo-hoo! It's a bit blue!

Yes, all right, sit down. I'll have to think about you.
