You know Mariette, she'll ring us.

What, another burglary in our

PC Harness. Is your Sarge in?

00:03:59,952 --> 00:04:01,631
Lord love you but, you know,
83
00:04:01,632 --> 00:04:03,951
I prefer a copper who's
started shaving, know what I mean?

00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:06,951
He's gone down with the dropsy
again, so I'm in charge. Right.
85
00:04:06,952 --> 00:04:08,951
So, what shall we do about these
burglaries?
86
00:04:08,952 --> 00:04:10,951
Yes, I'm investigating.
87
00:04:10,952 --> 00:04:12,951
And what have you got so far?
88
00:04:12,952 --> 00:04:15,951
A number of items seem to have been
removed from a number of houses.
89
00:04:15,952 --> 00:04:18,951
Well, I can see
I'm in capable hands Yes.
90
00:04:18,952 --> 00:04:22,151
Listen, I'm not one to judge
but are aware that Ambrose Nunn
91
00:04:22,152 --> 00:04:24,951
has got a police record
as long as Southend Pier.
92
00:04:24,952 --> 00:04:28,951
Yes. I-I'm... going to see him now,
on my bicycle.
93
00:04:28,952 --> 00:04:32,951
Right... Maybe you should wait for
Sergeant Plummer to come back. Why?
94
00:04:32,952 --> 00:04:34,951
Well, I like Ambrose,
we go way back,
95
00:04:34,952 --> 00:04:36,791
but he's had a tough old life
96
00:04:36,792 --> 00:04:38,951
and he's not averse
to thumping folk.
97
00:04:38,952 --> 00:04:41,951
I'm not scared of anyone.
Well, that's good,
98
00:04:41,952 --> 00:04:44,631
but you were beaten up
by the Froggatts' 12-year-old.
99
00:04:44,632 --> 00:04:46,951
She had a stick.
Even so, you may want help
100
00:04:46,952 --> 00:04:49,952
if you're gonna accuse Nunnsy
or try and bring him in.
101
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:53,951
I might wait, then.
Yeah. Good.
102
00:04:53,952 --> 00:04:54,992
Erm, Pop...
Yes?
103
00:04:56,952 --> 00:04:59,951
Could you put it about the village
that I'm really brave?
104
00:04:59,952 --> 00:05:01,951
Any particular reason?
105
00:05:01,952 --> 00:05:04,951
I'm in love with Pauline Molloy
and I really need to impress her.

00:05:04,952 --> 00:05:06,792
Oh, yeah.
107
00:05:08,952 --> 00:05:10,952

haven't they?
108
00:05:15,152 --> 00:05:17,991
Yes.
You wanna get the police onto that.

but may I explore my feelings
with a short monologue?

00:05:40,952 --> 00:05:44,792
No, dear, it's a simple Nativity,
albeit swaddled in a pantomime.
117
00:05:45,792 --> 00:05:48,951
Twins, where's your fellow shepherd?
He's not coming any more.
118
00:05:48,952 --> 00:05:50,951
He said his costume
made him look silly.
119
00:05:50,952 --> 00:05:51,953
It did actually.

Why are you here?
128
00:06:12,953 --> 00:06:15,951
Well, you know, I thought
I'd drop in to offer my expertise
129
00:06:15,952 --> 00:06:18,951
as what's laughingly known as
"a professional actor".
130
00:06:18,952 --> 00:06:20,951
Are you not working at the moment?
131
00:06:20,952 --> 00:06:23,951
Well, as you know,
I wouldn't normally touch am-dram
132
00:06:23,952 --> 00:06:26,951
but I'm happy to help
with a small role, at Yule...
133
00:06:26,952 --> 00:06:28,951
to spread the joy.
Oh, that would be lovely.
134

Twins, we've found you
a replacement shepherd.
135
00:06:34,952 --> 00:06:38,951
No... I was thinking
more of a cameo, as, perhaps...
136
00:06:38,952 --> 00:06:40,632

00:06:41,952 --> 00:06:43,951

00:06:43,952 --> 00:06:45,791

rather woebegone...

they missed all my awards.

144
00:06:58,952 --> 00:07:02,952
Yes. Three in all.
It's a Nativity.

at least a foot in six months.
171
00:08:35,952 --> 00:08:37,951
Why didn't you tell us
you were coming?
172
00:08:37,952 --> 00:08:39,951
Didn't you get our postcard?
173
00:08:39,952 --> 00:08:42,951
Brigitte Bardot in a bikini,
holding a snake? No.
174
00:08:42,952 --> 00:08:45,951
We've had the most fantastic time.
Paris is...
175
00:08:45,952 --> 00:08:49,951
Oh! How do you say it in English?
Oh, here we go.
176
00:08:49,952 --> 00:08:52,951
Ajoutez deux lettres a Paris,
et c'est le paradis.
177
00:08:52,952 --> 00:08:54,951
You can't argue with that.
178
00:08:54,952 --> 00:08:56,952
How long are you back for?
179
00:08:59,632 --> 00:09:02,951
We're back for good!
180
00:09:02,952 --> 00:09:04,951
That is great news.
181
00:09:04,952 --> 00:09:07,951
Well, don't just stand there, kids,
come and get these suitcases.
182
00:09:07,952 --> 00:09:09,951
That's it. There you go. Go on.
183
00:09:09,952 --> 00:09:12,951
Come here! Come here!
That's it, girls, well done.
184
00:09:22,472 --> 00:09:23,951
That's what I like to hear,
185
00:09:23,952 --> 00:09:26,951
mindless tittering
from the young lovers.
186
00:09:26,952 --> 00:09:29,951
We parents could be on fire
and they'd never notice.
187
00:09:29,952 --> 00:09:32,951
I was actually just saying I want
to meet Charley's mum and dad.
188
00:09:32,952 --> 00:09:34,952
Oh... we all do.
189
00:09:36,952 --> 00:09:38,951
Oh, we could invite them over!
Yeah.
190
00:09:38,952 --> 00:09:40,951
Oh!
Ooh... Erm, erm...
191
00:09:40,952 --> 00:09:41,953
There's no rush, really...
192
00:09:41,953 --> 00:09:45,791
No. No. No. Ma's right,
get 'em up here tomorrow.
193
00:09:45,792 --> 00:09:48,951
Christmas Eve, posh lunch!
Yes. Blinding idea.
194
00:09:48,952 --> 00:09:50,951
I'll get Primrose
to strangle a goose. Erm...
195
00:09:50,952 --> 00:09:53,471
Well, just to warn you,
they are still alarmed
196
00:09:53,472 --> 00:09:55,311
that I gave up a career
at the Tax Office
197
00:09:55,312 --> 00:09:58,471
and took off with a girl, so...
Ah, well, that's totally normal.
198
00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:00,951
Bog-standard.
Well, they, erm, they also...
199
00:10:00,952 --> 00:10:03,951
have reservations about me
living in the countryside so...
200
00:10:03,952 --> 00:10:06,952
Charley they'll be fine.
We'll make them so welcome.
201
00:10:08,952 --> 00:10:11,951
My dad said that if we wanted his
only child to waste his education
202
00:10:11,952 --> 00:10:15,952
and live on a farm, that
we would have stayed in Nigeria.
203
00:10:17,312 --> 00:10:20,951
So, maybe we should give them
a bit longer
204
00:10:20,952 --> 00:10:22,951
to get used to the idea.
205
00:10:22,952 --> 00:10:25,311
Sorry it's so last-minute,
but we'd love to invite you over
206
00:10:25,312 --> 00:10:28,951
for a festive Christmas luncheon,
tomorrow.
207
00:10:28,952 --> 00:10:31,951
He says
it's rather short notice.
208
00:10:31,952 --> 00:10:33,951
It is. Our apologies -
209
00:10:33,952 --> 00:10:36,951
we're as mad as a box of penguins,
we Larkins!
210
00:10:36,952 --> 00:10:38,991
They should make
some sort of device
211
00:10:38,992 --> 00:10:40,951
so we can all hear
what's bein' said.
212
00:10:40,952 --> 00:10:42,951
He says, nonetheless,
he and Mrs Charlton
213
00:10:42,952 --> 00:10:44,951
would love to see their son
214
00:10:44,952 --> 00:10:48,951
since he's been away so long...
doing Lord knows what.
215
00:10:48,952 --> 00:10:49,952
I bet.
216
00:10:49,953 --> 00:10:52,151
You should stay
for the whole Christmas!
217
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:54,951
No, they don't wanna do that.
218
00:10:54,952 --> 00:10:56,952
We understand.
219
00:10:59,312 --> 00:11:00,992
Well, how exciting!
220
00:11:05,952 --> 00:11:09,471
So the performance in front
of the whole village is tomorrow.
221
00:11:09,472 --> 00:11:11,951
Don't panic. Even though...
there is cause for panic.
222
00:11:11,952 --> 00:11:14,951
May I have your attention, please?
Of course, you can act it like that,
223
00:11:14,952 --> 00:11:17,951
but... I wouldn't...
Listen to your superior officer!
224
00:11:17,952 --> 00:11:18,991
Thank you, Brigadier.
225
00:11:18,992 --> 00:11:21,951
Prince Charming,
do remember you're a man,
226
00:11:21,952 --> 00:11:23,951
I'm still getting
an overwhelming sense of woman.
227
00:11:23,952 --> 00:11:27,951
I am what I am. That's like...
asking a bell not to ring.
228
00:11:27,952 --> 00:11:29,951
Well, do your best.
Conversely, Ugly Sister,
229
00:11:29,952 --> 00:11:31,951
can you magic up
some more femininity?
230
00:11:31,952 --> 00:11:33,951
No, I-I fear I'm up to my limit.
231
00:11:33,952 --> 00:11:36,951
Although I have been experimenting
at home with this,
232
00:11:36,952 --> 00:11:38,952
which I notice the ladies do...
233
00:11:40,632 --> 00:11:41,952
You need to be
a bit more sensitive...
234
00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:44,951
No, don't do that. Kings...
Nobody asked you to...
235
00:11:44,952 --> 00:11:46,951
Stop, stop. What's happening?
Mr Binns feels
236
00:11:46,952 --> 00:11:50,951
Mr Highwater is upstaging him
by swinging his cup of frankincense.
237
00:11:50,952 --> 00:11:52,952
Why does he think that?
I told him he was being upstaged.
238
00:11:52,952 --> 00:11:54,951
It is a matter of
professional etiquette.
239
00:11:54,952 --> 00:11:56,951
CLATTERING I am
leaving, this is ridiculous.
240
00:11:56,952 --> 00:11:59,951
Did you engineer that argument
so you could be the only king?
241
00:11:59,952 --> 00:12:01,791
Amateurs!
What a monstrous imputation.
242
00:12:01,792 --> 00:12:03,952
Can we have real sheep?
No, I'm struggling with the humans,
243
00:12:03,952 --> 00:12:06,951
I don't need
a pack of defecating animals.
244
00:12:06,952 --> 00:12:08,952
I'm sorry.
245
00:12:09,952 --> 00:12:12,472
Do go now, and let's hope
this comes together tomorrow.
246
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,952
I'm sorry, Miss Pilchester,
we're letting you down.
247
00:12:17,952 --> 00:12:20,951
It's my fault, I've looked forward
to this for too long,
248
00:12:20,952 --> 00:12:22,951
and it's going to be
absolutely ghastly.
249
00:12:22,952 --> 00:12:23,952
Maybe it's not important.
250
00:12:23,953 --> 00:12:25,951
Not to you, perhaps,
but people like me,
251
00:12:25,952 --> 00:12:28,312
who have no family, rely on their
village to give their life meaning.
252
00:12:28,312 --> 00:12:30,951
This was my chance
to create something memorable.
253
00:12:30,952 --> 00:12:35,472
A Christmas feast, rather than the
chilly meal for one which is my lot.
254
00:12:45,312 --> 00:12:48,952
Good night, Norma.
Good night, Alec.
255
00:13:30,792 --> 00:13:32,791
Oh, no!
256
00:13:32,792 --> 00:13:34,832
Yes, a burglary during the night.
257
00:13:36,312 --> 00:13:40,631
My husband, Mr Norman,
is so furious he's unable to speak.
258
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:48,792
And now they seem to have stolen
the electricity.
259
00:13:53,472 --> 00:13:56,791
Power cut!
We love power cuts!
260
00:13:56,792 --> 00:13:58,791
We don't even know
what electricity is!
261
00:13:58,792 --> 00:14:00,791
Well, your show's
not gonna be able to go on
262
00:14:00,792 --> 00:14:02,792
if there's not light or heat
in the village hall.
263
00:14:04,792 --> 00:14:05,793
Maybe it's just as well.
Cor!
264
00:14:05,793 --> 00:14:08,791
Dear-oh, it's a bit dark in here,
innit?
265
00:14:08,792 --> 00:14:11,311
Let's crack open some leccy.
266
00:14:11,312 --> 00:14:12,791
Oh, no.
267
00:14:12,792 --> 00:14:15,791
That'll put a kink in Christmas
if they don't fix it, eh?
268
00:14:15,792 --> 00:14:17,311
Victoria!
Yes, Pop?
269
00:14:17,312 --> 00:14:19,152
Get that genny going,
can you, love, please?
270
00:14:21,792 --> 00:14:25,791
It's a Christmas Eve calamity if
they don't restore the power soon.
271
00:14:25,792 --> 00:14:27,791
It is. The whole village is out.
272
00:14:27,792 --> 00:14:30,991
My stove's electric.
Ever tried eating raw sausages?
273
00:14:30,992 --> 00:14:32,792
No. Sorry.
274
00:14:33,792 --> 00:14:37,791
How are they? I managed it
but they're not a patch on cooked.
275
00:14:37,792 --> 00:14:41,631
We'll have to go and stay in my chum
Jasper's castle for Christmas.
276
00:14:41,632 --> 00:14:45,631
Well, you're annoying.
Oh, isn't that pretty?
277
00:14:45,632 --> 00:14:47,791
Let's not worry about the fire risk.
278
00:14:47,792 --> 00:14:49,791
Right, now, something special
for the Charltons.
279
00:14:49,792 --> 00:14:52,791
Word is they can't repair
the electricity sub-station
280
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:54,791
till after Christmas.
281
00:14:54,792 --> 00:14:56,791
Any news about the power?
The power cut?
282
00:14:56,792 --> 00:14:58,992
The light, the heat, the power,
can they fix it?
283
00:15:00,792 --> 00:15:02,791
Oh, no.
Do the show after Christmas.
284
00:15:02,792 --> 00:15:04,151
It's not like anybody cares.
285
00:15:04,152 --> 00:15:07,791
You can't really do Nativity
after Christmas. Horse has bolted.
286
00:15:07,792 --> 00:15:09,791
Yeah, even better,
don't do it at all.
287
00:15:09,792 --> 00:15:11,791
We've got a generator,
you can do it in our barn.
288
00:15:11,792 --> 00:15:13,791
Oh, could we?
If we move up there now,
289
00:15:13,792 --> 00:15:16,791
we could squeeze in
a dress rehearsal and then the show.
290
00:15:16,792 --> 00:15:18,792
Er...
291
00:15:19,992 --> 00:15:23,791
Do we really want
a pant-ivity on our premises
292
00:15:23,792 --> 00:15:26,792
when we're trying to impress
Charley's parents with a posh lunch?
293
00:15:27,792 --> 00:15:30,791
Yeah, but we can't let Edith
and the village down.
294
00:15:30,792 --> 00:15:31,991
We'd be helping them.
295
00:15:31,992 --> 00:15:34,792
By all accounts
the show is gruesome.
296
00:15:35,792 --> 00:15:38,791
Yeah. Well, it always is beforehand,
and then it turns out brilliant.
297
00:15:38,792 --> 00:15:42,792
If it turns out brilliant,
I'll eat my hat... and my coat.
298
00:15:44,792 --> 00:15:48,791
Of course, we insist that
you put the show on in our barn!
299
00:15:48,792 --> 00:15:51,152
You're both lambs. See you later.
300
00:15:54,792 --> 00:15:56,791
That is quite a face, Alec.
301
00:15:56,792 --> 00:15:59,791
Hope you got a nicer one,
seeing as it's Christmas.
302
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:02,791
We were burgled last night
by Mr Nunn.
303
00:16:02,792 --> 00:16:04,991
He got away with a host
of treasured knick-knacks.
304
00:16:04,992 --> 00:16:08,791
You're determined that it's Ambrose.
Who did it, then, Santa?
305
00:16:08,792 --> 00:16:10,792
A dissident elf?
Or maybe it was you.
306
00:16:13,792 --> 00:16:15,792
Right, time to sort this out.
307
00:16:27,792 --> 00:16:29,791
So, on an average day
I must risk my life,
308
00:16:29,792 --> 00:16:31,991
what, half a dozen times?
309
00:16:31,992 --> 00:16:33,831
You're full of it.
Full of valour.
310
00:16:33,832 --> 00:16:35,791
See? I'm the perfect boyfriend
311
00:16:35,792 --> 00:16:37,791
because I provide security,
literally.
312
00:16:37,792 --> 00:16:40,991
Yeah, I'm not ruling you out.
I like a uniform.
313
00:16:40,992 --> 00:16:43,791
I prefer firemen, but...
314
00:16:43,792 --> 00:16:45,792
Do you wanna... blow on my whistle?
315
00:16:48,792 --> 00:16:49,792
You never know.
316
00:16:51,312 --> 00:16:53,791
Merry Christmas, trouble.
You too, Pop.
317
00:16:53,792 --> 00:16:56,791
I hear Mariette's back. Yeah,
and I want you two to get along.
318
00:16:56,792 --> 00:16:59,792
You've been butting heads
like angry goats for far too long.
319
00:17:05,792 --> 00:17:08,791
And I'd put that tongue back in
before it freezes hard.
320
00:17:08,792 --> 00:17:10,791
Now, then... got any more clues?
321
00:17:10,792 --> 00:17:14,791
No, I'm clue-less.
322
00:17:14,792 --> 00:17:16,472
Well, we can't put it off
any longer, can we?
323
00:17:16,472 --> 00:17:18,791
Folk are getting upset.
It'll ruin their Christmas.
324
00:17:18,792 --> 00:17:21,631
Do you wanna start
in the obvious place? Ambrose Nunn?
325
00:17:21,632 --> 00:17:24,632
Uh-huh.
Can you come with me?
326
00:17:33,992 --> 00:17:35,791
Start!
327
00:17:35,792 --> 00:17:37,631
They'll be here soon!
Is it nearly ready?
328
00:17:37,632 --> 00:17:40,472
From the Place Vendome to this.
329
00:17:45,792 --> 00:17:47,792
Oh!
330
00:17:50,792 --> 00:17:51,792
Monty, napkins.
331
00:18:09,792 --> 00:18:11,791
It's just that we didn't even know
332
00:18:11,792 --> 00:18:13,791
you were returning from France,
Cedric.
333
00:18:13,792 --> 00:18:18,471
I'm sorry. Life has just been so
overwhelming since I met Mariette.
334
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:20,791
Mum, she is just so...
335
00:18:25,792 --> 00:18:26,792
dirty.
336
00:18:28,992 --> 00:18:32,791
Oh, erm... Mother, Father...
337
00:18:32,792 --> 00:18:34,792
this is Mariette.
Hello.
338
00:18:36,792 --> 00:18:39,791
She scrubs up very attractively.
Oh, but as we Larkins say -
339
00:18:39,792 --> 00:18:42,311
"No point in washing...
only get mucky again!"
340
00:18:43,792 --> 00:18:46,791
Hello.
Good day to you.
341
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:50,791
Welcome! I'm Florence,
but everyone calls me Ma.
342
00:18:50,792 --> 00:18:53,791
I'm Ginika...
but everyone calls me Mrs Charlton.
343
00:18:53,792 --> 00:18:57,312
No idea why...
am I that scarifying?!
344
00:18:58,792 --> 00:19:00,831
May I utilise your latrine?
345
00:19:00,832 --> 00:19:05,791
Oh, if needs must and nature calls,
Brigadier.
346
00:19:07,792 --> 00:19:10,791
There's a power cut in the village
and we have a generator,
347
00:19:10,792 --> 00:19:13,791
so they've relocated the Nativity
to our barn.
348
00:19:13,792 --> 00:19:15,991
How delightful, a Nativity.
349
00:19:15,992 --> 00:19:19,471
Combined with a panto -
more of a nativi-tanto.
350
00:19:19,472 --> 00:19:20,791
Make it more interesting.
351
00:19:20,792 --> 00:19:23,471
More interesting than the story
of the birth of Jesus?
352
00:19:23,472 --> 00:19:26,791
Oh, no, I don't think she means
more interesting. Just, er...
353
00:19:26,792 --> 00:19:29,631
just more, er...
More of an excuse to swap gender
354
00:19:29,632 --> 00:19:31,992
than you'd usually find
in a panto... Nativity.
355
00:19:33,792 --> 00:19:35,792
I'm sure
it'll all be very respectful.
356
00:19:38,792 --> 00:19:40,791
Might I provide you with a snifter?
357
00:19:40,792 --> 00:19:43,791
Oh, no, no, no.
No, they don't drink. No.
358
00:19:43,792 --> 00:19:46,791
We would welcome a cup of tea.
Oh, of course. No, please,
359
00:19:46,792 --> 00:19:51,151
do sit down by the fire and I will
proceed with the luncheon.
360
00:19:51,152 --> 00:19:54,791
I would be very willing to help.
No, no, no, no, please...
361
00:19:54,792 --> 00:19:57,792
No. No.
My family will all entertain you.
362
00:20:00,792 --> 00:20:04,991
My husband appears to be detained...
on important work in the village.
363
00:20:04,992 --> 00:20:07,311
Come on. Come on, hurry.
Can't be late.
364
00:20:07,312 --> 00:20:09,792
Excuse me, Charley, thank you.
365
00:20:15,632 --> 00:20:17,791
Well, the show must go on!
366
00:20:17,792 --> 00:20:20,792
So...
Montgomery will entertain you.
367
00:20:23,792 --> 00:20:25,312
Er...
368
00:20:26,792 --> 00:20:29,791
Let's all play poker for money.
No! No. No.
369
00:20:29,792 --> 00:20:32,791
Mother and Father don't gamble.
370
00:20:32,792 --> 00:20:34,792
Nor, nor do we!
Mm.
371
00:20:44,992 --> 00:20:47,791
Merry Christmas Eve, Ambrose.
Pop.
372
00:20:47,792 --> 00:20:49,792
Good day to you.
373
00:20:50,792 --> 00:20:52,791
What's up?
Oh, this and that.
374
00:20:52,792 --> 00:20:53,793
How's the little 'uns? Eh?
375
00:20:53,793 --> 00:20:57,791
Oh, here they are!
Nelson, how are you doing, son?
376
00:20:57,792 --> 00:21:00,791
Christine, what have I said to you
about being too adorable?
377
00:21:04,792 --> 00:21:07,791
Ambrose, could we have a chin-wag?
Does he have to come in?
378
00:21:07,792 --> 00:21:09,791
Yeah, no, he's a good lad.
379
00:21:09,792 --> 00:21:12,792
He's more likely to get
a bit tearful than to arrest you.
380
00:21:17,792 --> 00:21:20,791
Hello, Mr Larkin.
Oh, Roy! Blimey. Look at you.
381
00:21:20,792 --> 00:21:23,791
All of a sudden I turn round,
you're a bloke.
382
00:21:23,792 --> 00:21:25,791
I brought something for you kids,
as well, look...
383
00:21:25,792 --> 00:21:28,791
Merry Christmas, Christine,
Merry Christmas, Nelson.
384
00:21:28,792 --> 00:21:30,471
Lovely to see you. And...
385
00:21:30,472 --> 00:21:33,791
Ena, come on, crack open a smile,
it's Christmas, darling.
386
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:37,791
So... a question, Ambrose,
nothing controversial...
387
00:21:37,792 --> 00:21:40,791
we come in peace.
388
00:21:40,792 --> 00:21:43,791
Are you doing the burglaries
in the village?
389
00:21:43,792 --> 00:21:45,791
PC Harness here wants to know.
390
00:21:45,792 --> 00:21:47,991
What burglaries?
391
00:21:47,992 --> 00:21:50,792
Well, do muck in, constable.
Erm...
392
00:21:51,792 --> 00:21:55,791
Yes, there's been a few
around the village.
393
00:21:55,792 --> 00:21:58,791
And, well, you have some form.
So, I thought that maybe...
394
00:21:58,792 --> 00:22:02,791
Don't hit a copper, love.
Ambrose... Hello.
395
00:22:02,792 --> 00:22:05,791
I thought you, of all people,
would be on my side, Pop.
396
00:22:05,792 --> 00:22:07,791
I want to be, Ambrose. I do.
397
00:22:07,792 --> 00:22:09,791
I'm just here
to flush out the truth, is all.
398
00:22:09,792 --> 00:22:11,791
Well, how can I prove
I've done nothing wrong?!
399
00:22:11,792 --> 00:22:13,791
Not easy. But folk are talking.
400
00:22:13,792 --> 00:22:15,152
And if you are doing
the burglarising,
401
00:22:15,152 --> 00:22:17,991
well,
this is me warning you to stop.
402
00:22:17,992 --> 00:22:21,792
Or if you know who's doing it...
get them to stop.
403
00:22:27,792 --> 00:22:30,792
Look, I'm sorry, Pop,
but I've had it up to here.
404
00:22:33,792 --> 00:22:37,791
Nobody gives my family a break.
I can't find any work.
405
00:22:37,792 --> 00:22:41,471
The whole village hates me...
well, us.
406
00:22:41,472 --> 00:22:42,792
And they always will.
407
00:22:45,792 --> 00:22:48,791
Blimey, do you know what?
I've gotta go.
408
00:22:48,792 --> 00:22:50,792
It's my daughter's boyfriend's
parents are coming over
409
00:22:50,792 --> 00:22:53,791
and animals have laid down
their lives for lunch, so I've...
410
00:22:53,792 --> 00:22:57,792
Please... stay for tea.
No-one ever visits.
411
00:23:00,792 --> 00:23:01,992
Oh...
412
00:23:11,792 --> 00:23:13,792
I'll just see how the show's going.
413
00:23:17,792 --> 00:23:19,791
We missed you so much, Cedric.
414
00:23:19,792 --> 00:23:22,792
We loved your occasional letters,
you write so well.
415
00:23:23,792 --> 00:23:26,791
She's a pretty one, your Mariette.
Where's she gone?
416
00:23:26,792 --> 00:23:30,792
I... I imagine
she's washing the dung off.
417
00:23:31,792 --> 00:23:34,791
Where is everyone?
It's very rude.
418
00:23:34,792 --> 00:23:37,791
Yes, well,
they're usually so friendly.
419
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:40,791
In fact,
everyone's friendly down here.
420
00:23:40,792 --> 00:23:42,791
DOOR OPENS If you...
421
00:23:42,792 --> 00:23:44,791
Ooh, hello.
422
00:23:44,792 --> 00:23:47,792
Oh, don't mind me,
I'm just a toff in search of a lav.
423
00:23:48,792 --> 00:23:51,791
Welcome back, big boy.
Hi.
424
00:23:51,792 --> 00:23:53,792
Mm... you could have had me.
425
00:23:58,472 --> 00:23:59,792
Er, as...
426
00:24:01,792 --> 00:24:04,791
The next bloke I shared a cell with
427
00:24:04,792 --> 00:24:07,791
used to tear his toenails off
in front of me
428
00:24:07,792 --> 00:24:11,151
just so he could go to the sick bay.
That's terrible.
429
00:24:11,152 --> 00:24:13,791
I tell you,
you've really opened my eyes.
430
00:24:13,792 --> 00:24:15,791
I mean, it's a disgrace,
431
00:24:15,792 --> 00:24:17,832
incarcerating people
just cos they've nicked things.
432
00:24:19,792 --> 00:24:21,791
Well, look, Ambrose, I gotta go.
433
00:24:21,792 --> 00:24:23,791
I'm sorry you've had
a bad few years, mate...
434
00:24:23,792 --> 00:24:27,471
but all the more reason
for you to look to your future.
435
00:24:27,472 --> 00:24:29,151
And thanks, Ena,
really appreciate it,
436
00:24:29,152 --> 00:24:30,791
but you and Ambrose,
437
00:24:30,792 --> 00:24:33,791
you need to stop sitting in here
and feeling put upon, right?
438
00:24:33,792 --> 00:24:35,791
You've got no idea, Pop.
439
00:24:35,792 --> 00:24:38,791
People move towards you,
they move away from us.
440
00:24:38,792 --> 00:24:42,831
Why don't you come to the panto
in our barn today at three o'clock.
441
00:24:42,832 --> 00:24:45,791
What, so the whole village
can sneer at me and my kids?
442
00:24:45,792 --> 00:24:49,791
No! So they can see
that you are good people.
443
00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:51,791
Well, good-ish.
444
00:24:51,792 --> 00:24:54,631
Come on, eh?
It's grim out there, innit?
445
00:24:54,632 --> 00:24:57,791
The shop's gonna be shut, the whole
of village will be at our place.
446
00:24:57,792 --> 00:25:00,791
Could be a new start.
447
00:25:00,792 --> 00:25:01,792
See you.
448
00:25:06,792 --> 00:25:08,632
God bless you.
449
00:25:11,792 --> 00:25:13,791
Wow, what a super family!
450
00:25:13,792 --> 00:25:15,792
I guess we need to look elsewhere
for our burglar, Pop.
451
00:25:15,792 --> 00:25:17,791
Looks like it.
Any ideas?
452
00:25:17,792 --> 00:25:19,791
I have my theories.
What are they?
453
00:25:19,792 --> 00:25:22,791
Don't you worry your tiny
little pointy head there, constable.
454
00:25:22,792 --> 00:25:25,792
If I play my cards right,
the village...
455
00:25:27,152 --> 00:25:30,791
will have its stolen goods
back in time for Christmas.
456
00:25:30,792 --> 00:25:33,791
Well, come on, jump in.
457
00:25:44,912 --> 00:25:46,712
Ta-da!
458
00:25:50,712 --> 00:25:52,711
You have cooked
for the whole of Kent.
459
00:25:52,712 --> 00:25:54,711
Yes, well, we do overdo it
sometimes.
460
00:25:54,712 --> 00:25:56,711
Sit down, Ma.
461
00:25:56,712 --> 00:25:58,711
She's normally so relaxed.
462
00:25:58,712 --> 00:26:00,711
Yes, well, it's not every day
463
00:26:00,712 --> 00:26:03,711
that you make your daughter's
boyfriend's parents' acquaintance.
464
00:26:03,712 --> 00:26:07,071
I promise you, we're just here to
get to know you, not to find fault.
465
00:26:09,712 --> 00:26:12,711
Oh, come on, you arsy...!
Oh, that's Victoria.
466
00:26:12,712 --> 00:26:14,711
She's working on the generator.
467
00:26:14,712 --> 00:26:17,232
She is a mechanical genius.
468
00:26:24,712 --> 00:26:27,711
And Montgomery
is painting the scenery.
469
00:26:27,712 --> 00:26:29,711
Ooh! What an artist!
470
00:26:29,712 --> 00:26:32,712
Stand back, Renoir,
there's a new guy in town.
471
00:26:34,752 --> 00:26:36,711
Sorry everyone's so distracted.
472
00:26:36,712 --> 00:26:38,711
Yes, I don't know
where my husband is.
473
00:26:38,712 --> 00:26:40,751
I do apologise for his absence.
474
00:26:40,752 --> 00:26:44,711
Cedric informs us that
he is a pillar of the community
475
00:26:44,712 --> 00:26:47,711
and also a purveyor of antiquities.
476
00:26:48,713 --> 00:26:50,911
Well, it's more of a junkyard,
really.
477
00:26:50,912 --> 00:26:52,712
You find me amusing?
478
00:26:55,712 --> 00:26:58,391
Why did you exaggerate the truth,
Cedric?
479
00:26:58,392 --> 00:27:00,711
No, it's not. I...
480
00:27:00,712 --> 00:27:03,711
I just know that you like people
to be respectable.
481
00:27:03,712 --> 00:27:04,911
My husband's respectable.
482
00:27:04,912 --> 00:27:07,391
We all are.
Mm-hm.

Been trying to solve
these burglaries, Ma.
494
00:27:32,552 --> 00:27:33,712
Well, don't! Find a policeman.
495
00:27:33,712 --> 00:27:34,713
Yeah, I tried that an' all.
496
00:27:34,713 --> 00:27:36,711
It's ruining folks' Christmas,
you know.
497
00:27:36,712 --> 00:27:38,711
You want to see ruined?!
Huh?
498
00:27:38,712 --> 00:27:40,711
We are re-enacting
the War Of The Roses in there.
499
00:27:40,712 --> 00:27:42,712
Don't worry!
Go in.
500
00:27:44,712 --> 00:27:45,751
A million apologies,
501
00:27:45,752 --> 00:27:48,711
I've been having tea
with a very angry burglar.
502
00:27:48,712 --> 00:27:50,711
Hello, there's lovely, look,
503
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:52,711
the two very loins
that came together
504
00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:54,711
and created our Charley boy!
505
00:27:54,712 --> 00:27:57,551
Don't say loins.
Imagine you're the Queen.
506
00:27:57,552 --> 00:27:59,711
Shall we lighten the mood?
Sherry? Cocktails? No! No.
507
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:01,711
Thank you, no.
No, no, don't be shy. Vodka?
508
00:28:01,712 --> 00:28:03,711
Everyone loves a bit of Russian.
509
00:28:03,712 --> 00:28:05,711
No, no, no.
You're right.
510
00:28:05,712 --> 00:28:06,713
Something a bit more sophisticated.
511
00:28:06,713 --> 00:28:09,911
What about a bottle of Burgundy?
Been laying down for years,
512
00:28:09,912 --> 00:28:11,711
needs opening
and giving a good seeing to.
513
00:28:13,912 --> 00:28:17,231
Pardon! Both ends.
Just to be clear, that was the baby.
514
00:28:17,232 --> 00:28:20,711
I've seen enough.
We should be heading home.
515
00:28:20,712 --> 00:28:23,711
No, Sylvester, loosen your tie,
relax now.
516
00:28:23,712 --> 00:28:24,712
We haven't really talked.
517
00:28:24,713 --> 00:28:27,711
And there's the nativity...
type thing,
518
00:28:27,712 --> 00:28:30,711
in our barn, to see this evening.
519
00:28:30,712 --> 00:28:32,712
Word is, it's gonna be magical.
520
00:28:39,712 --> 00:28:40,713
Performance in half an hour.
521
00:28:40,713 --> 00:28:42,712
Good luck, everybody.
522
00:28:43,712 --> 00:28:47,711
Where was I? Oh, yes, so,
I went to my local amateur troupe
523
00:28:47,712 --> 00:28:52,711
and the leading lady,
Marcia Fulcrum, chiropodist by day,
524
00:28:52,712 --> 00:28:54,712
walked into the scenery
and it promptly fell on her.
525
00:28:54,712 --> 00:28:56,711
Oh, there's danger everywhere.
526
00:28:56,712 --> 00:28:59,711
Another difference between
professional and amateur theatres -
527
00:28:59,712 --> 00:29:02,751
the pros can walk and say
their lines at the same time.
528
00:29:02,752 --> 00:29:05,711
This may be amateur,
you patronising clot,
529
00:29:05,712 --> 00:29:08,272
but there's nothing that a bit
of effort and belief wouldn't fix.
530
00:29:09,752 --> 00:29:13,071
I don't want to care
what Norma Norman thinks,
531
00:29:13,072 --> 00:29:15,712
but if this goes badly, she will
remind me for the rest of my days -
532
00:29:15,712 --> 00:29:18,711
on the street, in church,
at every committee meeting.
533
00:29:18,712 --> 00:29:20,712
Kill me now.
534
00:29:23,712 --> 00:29:25,711
We did take a sharp intake of breath
535
00:29:25,712 --> 00:29:27,711
when Cedric said
he was quitting the tax office.
536
00:29:27,712 --> 00:29:29,711
But, you know, it's just...
537
00:29:29,712 --> 00:29:31,712
Then he's spent six months
in France doing nothing.
538
00:29:31,712 --> 00:29:33,071
Oh, we weren't doing nothing.
539
00:29:33,072 --> 00:29:34,711
MA CHUCKLES Course they weren't!
540
00:29:34,712 --> 00:29:37,391
Young and in love,
in romantic "Paree".
541
00:29:37,392 --> 00:29:39,711
Pop and I never got out of bed
the first few months,
542
00:29:39,712 --> 00:29:42,231
and we were in a caravan in Sheppey.
Not half!
543
00:29:42,232 --> 00:29:45,711
Here, and you loved working
in that bar, you two, didn't you!
544
00:29:46,713 --> 00:29:49,711
Oh, have I blundered in again?
You can't take me anywhere, can you?
545
00:29:49,712 --> 00:29:51,711
It was more of a posh restaurant,
really.
546
00:29:51,712 --> 00:29:53,711
We've never seen
so many fancy omelettes!
547
00:29:53,712 --> 00:29:56,711
Yes! Un oeuf! Enough.
Yeah!
548
00:29:58,712 --> 00:29:59,911
Ah, dear.
549
00:29:59,912 --> 00:30:02,711
So, you swapped your career
in accountancy
550
00:30:02,712 --> 00:30:03,712
in order to carry plates?
551
00:30:03,713 --> 00:30:06,711
I'm afraid my husband
is very much a traditionalist.
552
00:30:06,712 --> 00:30:09,711
No, I'm a realist.
We are a family of good repute.
553
00:30:09,712 --> 00:30:12,711
I want to keep it that way.
554
00:30:12,712 --> 00:30:13,712
Ah!
555
00:30:13,713 --> 00:30:15,711
They'll need food.
More words, Victoria.
556
00:30:15,712 --> 00:30:18,711
Like I say,
she is brilliant with machinery.
557
00:30:18,712 --> 00:30:20,551
But hates a long sentence!
558
00:30:20,552 --> 00:30:21,711
The audience.
559
00:30:21,712 --> 00:30:23,711
- Oh.
- Good point, Victoria.
560
00:30:23,712 --> 00:30:26,711
Especially as the power cut
has knocked out electric ovens
561
00:30:26,712 --> 00:30:27,712
right across the village.
562
00:30:27,713 --> 00:30:30,711
I'll make refreshments, don't worry.
I'll help you.
563
00:30:30,712 --> 00:30:32,711
Oh, no, I couldn't possibly
ask you to.
564
00:30:32,712 --> 00:30:36,231
Why not?
I'm sorry, but don't be so proud.
565
00:30:36,232 --> 00:30:37,712
It is a deadly sin.
566
00:30:38,712 --> 00:30:41,551
Yeah! I mean, why don't you two
get to know each other,
567
00:30:41,552 --> 00:30:42,711
you know, sharing a kitchen?
568
00:30:42,712 --> 00:30:45,712
I'm sure you've got a lot
to teach Ma, Mrs C.
569
00:30:49,712 --> 00:30:51,711
I knew it was a bad idea,
them coming!
570
00:30:51,712 --> 00:30:54,712
Well, we can't keep our families
apart forever.
571
00:31:00,712 --> 00:31:02,712
Found it!
572
00:31:05,712 --> 00:31:07,711
Primrose...
573
00:31:07,712 --> 00:31:09,712
Now I'm Mary.
574
00:31:11,072 --> 00:31:12,711
Sorry!
575
00:31:12,712 --> 00:31:14,711
If my parents
hadn't got on with you,
576
00:31:14,712 --> 00:31:17,071
I'd have said that's their problem,
cos it's you I love.
577
00:31:17,072 --> 00:31:19,912
Oh! Oh, I love you.
578
00:31:21,712 --> 00:31:22,712
So much.
579
00:31:25,712 --> 00:31:29,391
You seem scared of your dad.
Stand up to him.
580
00:31:29,392 --> 00:31:30,711
Ooh.
You've got strong opinions.
581
00:31:30,712 --> 00:31:33,071
You're the most intelligent person
I know.
582
00:31:33,072 --> 00:31:34,711
Oh, thank you.
583
00:31:34,712 --> 00:31:36,711
Apart from Primrose.
What?!
584
00:31:36,712 --> 00:31:40,711
Speak your mind.
Be honest with him.
585
00:31:40,712 --> 00:31:43,711
I would love to, Mariette, but
it is not that simple with fathers.
586
00:31:43,712 --> 00:31:46,711
He just sees through me.
587
00:31:46,712 --> 00:31:49,712
I... I am a part of him.
588
00:31:51,712 --> 00:31:52,712
I'm not.
589
00:31:52,713 --> 00:31:54,711
And I like a challenge.
590
00:31:54,712 --> 00:31:57,711
I'm gonna make sure
he doesn't leave here
591
00:31:57,712 --> 00:31:58,712
until we've won him over.
592
00:32:12,712 --> 00:32:15,711
Hello and welcome to the Near East.
593
00:32:15,712 --> 00:32:17,711
Please don't smoke,
594
00:32:17,712 --> 00:32:20,712
because this place
could burn down in seconds.
595
00:32:26,712 --> 00:32:30,751
Edith, darling,
your words cut me to the quick.
596
00:32:30,752 --> 00:32:32,711
I've become a monster,
597
00:32:32,712 --> 00:32:36,231
a mountebank
trapped inside a painted doll.
598
00:32:36,232 --> 00:32:38,751
No, I'm sorry.
My mouth ran away with me.
599
00:32:38,752 --> 00:32:42,711
You know, this is now the biggest
challenge of my theatrical life,
600
00:32:42,712 --> 00:32:45,711
bigger even than my Tartuffe,
601
00:32:45,712 --> 00:32:48,392
bigger than my Bottom in Stratford.
602
00:32:51,712 --> 00:32:53,712
Miss Pilchester,
we think we should use real sheep,
603
00:32:53,712 --> 00:32:56,711
especially because, well,
this is their barn.
604
00:32:56,712 --> 00:32:58,711
Ah, no, I fear a calamity.
605
00:32:58,712 --> 00:33:01,192
Besides, the magic of theatre
will make what we have look real.
606
00:33:05,712 --> 00:33:06,712
Glass of mulled wine?
607
00:33:06,713 --> 00:33:09,711
This will help take the edge off
our ordeal.
608
00:33:09,712 --> 00:33:12,711
Oh, yes, your beastly burglary!
609
00:33:12,712 --> 00:33:15,231
No, the production.
Indeed.
610
00:33:15,232 --> 00:33:17,711
They'll have to go some
to match your shows, Norma.
611
00:33:17,712 --> 00:33:20,711
What was it the Mid-Kent Times
called your Mikado?
612
00:33:20,712 --> 00:33:23,551
"Sturdy." Thank you, Alec.
613
00:33:23,552 --> 00:33:24,711
But I'll take no pleasure
614
00:33:24,712 --> 00:33:26,711
in Edith Pilchester's loss of face
615
00:33:26,712 --> 00:33:28,711
and social standing.
616
00:33:28,712 --> 00:33:30,711
Would you like to sit at the back,
617
00:33:30,712 --> 00:33:32,711
so the actors
can't hear you both tutting?
618
00:33:37,712 --> 00:33:39,751
May I have your ticket, please,
Vicar?
619
00:33:39,752 --> 00:33:41,551
I don't have to pay.
620
00:33:41,552 --> 00:33:43,711
I'm the production's
religious advisor.
621
00:33:43,712 --> 00:33:45,711
Er...
622
00:33:45,712 --> 00:33:47,711
A glass of mulled wine?
Thank you.
623
00:33:47,712 --> 00:33:49,712
Oh.
624
00:34:10,712 --> 00:34:12,392
Oh, please.
625
00:34:18,712 --> 00:34:21,391
I'm not sure the village is ready
for what you're cooking.
626
00:34:21,392 --> 00:34:22,712
Really?
627
00:34:26,712 --> 00:34:28,711
Oh!
628
00:34:28,712 --> 00:34:30,711
I mean, I hope so.
629
00:34:30,712 --> 00:34:33,711
But round here, we're only just
getting used to lettuce.
630
00:34:47,712 --> 00:34:50,711
Mr Charlton, can I get you anything?
631
00:34:50,712 --> 00:34:52,711
No, thank you.
632
00:34:52,712 --> 00:34:54,711
Cup of tea? Bible?
633
00:34:54,712 --> 00:34:55,911
Stiff-backed chair?
634
00:34:55,912 --> 00:34:59,711
Some choral music on the gramophone?
635
00:34:59,712 --> 00:35:01,712
No, that will not be necessary.
636
00:35:05,712 --> 00:35:09,711
I'm sorry I gave you the impression
I don't take your views seriously.
637
00:35:09,712 --> 00:35:14,712
Truth is, you and I
believe in the same things.
638
00:35:16,392 --> 00:35:17,711
What do you believe in?
639
00:35:17,712 --> 00:35:22,712
Prudence, justice,
temperance and fortitude.
640
00:35:24,712 --> 00:35:25,712
Me too.
641
00:35:26,712 --> 00:35:30,711
That's my big four. How lovely!
642
00:35:30,712 --> 00:35:33,711
In that case, do you believe in
chastity before marriage?
643
00:35:33,712 --> 00:35:35,391
Very much so.
644
00:35:35,392 --> 00:35:38,751
We Larkins may seem laissez-faire
because it's the country style,
645
00:35:38,752 --> 00:35:40,712
but in fact, we're highly moral.
646
00:35:42,232 --> 00:35:43,711
Shall we join the Nativity?
647
00:35:43,712 --> 00:35:46,712
I hasten to add the Larkins
aren't responsible for the content.
648
00:35:47,712 --> 00:35:49,712
Except for the respectful bits.
649
00:35:54,712 --> 00:35:56,712
Hello, do you have tickets?
650
00:35:57,712 --> 00:35:59,551
Um... no.
651
00:35:59,552 --> 00:36:01,912
So, that will be
one pound, one shilling.
652
00:36:02,752 --> 00:36:04,711
I don't have that much.
653
00:36:04,712 --> 00:36:07,711
Can I pay half now
and the rest another time?
654
00:36:07,712 --> 00:36:10,711
No, that would be massively bonkers.
655
00:36:10,712 --> 00:36:12,711
Either pay up or leave!
656
00:36:12,712 --> 00:36:13,712
We vote leave!
657
00:36:15,712 --> 00:36:16,712
Please.
658
00:36:16,713 --> 00:36:20,231
I can't deviate from the rules
without authorisation
659
00:36:20,232 --> 00:36:22,552
from the Ticket
and Refreshments Committee.
660
00:36:25,712 --> 00:36:27,711
We'll have to go. Come on.
661
00:36:27,712 --> 00:36:29,711
Hello Ambrose! Ena, wait.
662
00:36:29,712 --> 00:36:31,711
Sorry, Pop said you were coming,
663
00:36:31,712 --> 00:36:33,392
I'm supposed to be
looking after you.
664
00:36:45,712 --> 00:36:47,712
Move up a bit.
665
00:37:08,072 --> 00:37:09,711
Oh!
666
00:37:09,712 --> 00:37:12,711
Long ago, there lived
a young woman named Mary.
667
00:37:12,712 --> 00:37:14,711
Me.
668
00:37:14,712 --> 00:37:16,752
And me, Cinderella.
669
00:37:18,712 --> 00:37:21,711
I am engaged to be married.
670
00:37:21,712 --> 00:37:23,911
And I have a family
I could cheerfully kill.
671
00:37:25,712 --> 00:37:29,552
And we are both about to embark
on our greatest adventure.
672
00:37:32,712 --> 00:37:34,712
How lovely to be home.
673
00:38:10,552 --> 00:38:11,712
Afternoon, Roy.
674
00:38:13,912 --> 00:38:15,711
What are you doing here?
675
00:38:15,712 --> 00:38:17,712
Well, I tipped you off
that this shop was gonna be closed,
676
00:38:17,712 --> 00:38:20,711
because, well,
I had my doubts about you.
677
00:38:20,712 --> 00:38:23,711
And I wanted us to talk about it
before you got in any deeper.
678
00:38:23,712 --> 00:38:26,551
I'm taking what we need,
I don't care what you have to say.
679
00:38:26,552 --> 00:38:29,711
You're a good lad, and you think
your family deserve a Christmas.
680
00:38:29,712 --> 00:38:32,231
Don't you?
Yeah, but not like this.
681
00:38:32,232 --> 00:38:33,712
I mean...
682
00:38:34,712 --> 00:38:36,711
what would your mum and dad say,
683
00:38:36,712 --> 00:38:38,711
hey, if they knew you were here,
684
00:38:38,712 --> 00:38:41,711
about to bugger up your life
before it's even started?
685
00:38:41,712 --> 00:38:44,711
I don't care.
We're all tired of having nothing.
686
00:38:44,712 --> 00:38:46,072
No presents and bad food.
687
00:38:48,752 --> 00:38:52,711
Look, put that stuff back, right,
688
00:38:52,712 --> 00:38:55,712
then what we'll do is return
all the swag that you've got.
689
00:38:57,712 --> 00:39:00,392
And then we'll find a way
to get out of this, eh?
690
00:39:03,712 --> 00:39:05,712
Oh, Roy.
691
00:39:07,552 --> 00:39:08,711
How did you come by that?
692
00:39:08,712 --> 00:39:10,711
Burgled it
off that Indian army bloke.
693
00:39:10,712 --> 00:39:11,751
I'll use it!
694
00:39:11,752 --> 00:39:14,712
Well, you're gonna have to,
in't ya?
695
00:39:15,712 --> 00:39:18,071
Cos I'm going nowhere
until I've talked you out of this.
696
00:39:19,712 --> 00:39:23,711
And if that's got bullets in it,
697
00:39:23,712 --> 00:39:25,711
I'm a Dutchman.
698
00:39:25,712 --> 00:39:26,712
BANG Ah!
699
00:39:31,712 --> 00:39:35,712
You ever been to Amsterdam?
Lovely in springtime.
700
00:39:42,712 --> 00:39:44,711
Aw!
701
00:39:46,712 --> 00:39:49,231
Tonight feels special.
702
00:39:49,232 --> 00:39:51,711
Yeah, there's something in the air.
703
00:39:51,712 --> 00:39:52,712
Where are the sheep?
704
00:39:52,713 --> 00:39:54,711
Oh, no, we had one job to do!
705
00:39:57,752 --> 00:40:00,711
As you can see,
it's a very supportive village.
706
00:40:00,712 --> 00:40:04,071
I'd say that's second
only to its... fortitude.
707
00:40:04,072 --> 00:40:05,712
Or its... prudence.
708
00:40:06,752 --> 00:40:10,231
So, this is the charm she used
to conquer my son.
709
00:40:10,232 --> 00:40:11,712
Mm...
710
00:40:12,712 --> 00:40:13,712
'Scuse me.
711
00:40:21,712 --> 00:40:23,711
You probably think
you're the only one
712
00:40:23,712 --> 00:40:25,712
who's a victim of prejudice,
you know, treated badly,
713
00:40:25,712 --> 00:40:28,071
about as welcome as a turd
in a jug of Pimms.
714
00:40:28,072 --> 00:40:30,711
So, tell me I'm wrong.
No, you're not wrong.
715
00:40:30,712 --> 00:40:32,711
But also, you're not alone.
716
00:40:32,712 --> 00:40:35,231
Do you think this village
welcomed me and Ma with a parade?
717
00:40:35,232 --> 00:40:37,711
Dinky little place like this
with its landed gentry
718
00:40:37,712 --> 00:40:40,711
and its Alec Normans and
his judgements and his assumptions?
719
00:40:40,712 --> 00:40:42,711
No. Me and Ma, we had to work hard.
720
00:40:42,712 --> 00:40:44,711
Made some money.
721
00:40:44,712 --> 00:40:46,712
Fell in love with the place,
but loved the people -
722
00:40:46,712 --> 00:40:49,391
the Miss Pilchesters,
the Brigadiers, even the Vicar.
723
00:40:49,392 --> 00:40:52,711
You can talk all you want,
I've got nothing to lose.
724
00:40:52,712 --> 00:40:54,711
Yes, you have, Roy.
725
00:40:54,712 --> 00:40:57,711
You've got a loving family.
726
00:40:57,712 --> 00:41:00,551
Do you know how precious that is,
huh?
727
00:41:00,552 --> 00:41:01,712
You're gonna get caught, son.
728
00:41:05,232 --> 00:41:06,711
You will.
729
00:41:06,712 --> 00:41:09,711
And everyone'll say,
"Told you so! See that Roy Nunn?
730
00:41:09,712 --> 00:41:12,712
"He's just a chip
off his old dad's block."
731
00:41:18,712 --> 00:41:20,712
Come on, Roy, put the gun down, eh?
732
00:41:22,712 --> 00:41:24,711
Before you do yourself a nasty.
733
00:41:24,712 --> 00:41:26,711
Or me, more to the point.
734
00:41:26,712 --> 00:41:30,711
Cos see, I've got seven kids
and a Rolls Royce to support!
735
00:41:30,712 --> 00:41:32,712
BANG No!
736
00:41:43,632 --> 00:41:45,632
'Beans and Cornbread'
by Louis Jordan
737
00:41:46,672 --> 00:41:53,631
♪ Bean and cornbread... ♪
738
00:41:53,632 --> 00:41:57,631
It's all wrong,
you cooking, a guest.
739
00:41:57,632 --> 00:41:59,631
Don't start that again, Ma.
740
00:41:59,632 --> 00:42:01,631
The least I could do
is make a contribution,
741
00:42:01,632 --> 00:42:03,631
as today's been rather awkward.
742
00:42:03,632 --> 00:42:08,151
Yes, and the truth is,
our men haven't shone.
743
00:42:08,152 --> 00:42:09,631
Pop's normally good at people,
744
00:42:09,632 --> 00:42:11,631
but he's had a tin ear for you two.
745
00:42:11,632 --> 00:42:14,471
No, it's my husband -
he's more fun than he looks,
746
00:42:14,472 --> 00:42:17,631
but he's buried it.
He fears he's losing his son.
747
00:42:17,632 --> 00:42:19,631
I've told him, "Stop sulking!"
748
00:42:19,632 --> 00:42:22,631
Well, it must be harder
when it's an only child.
749
00:42:22,632 --> 00:42:24,631
I recommend having half a dozen.
750
00:42:25,633 --> 00:42:27,632
We are sad that Cedric
seemed to forget us.
751
00:42:28,632 --> 00:42:30,632
But I forgive him
more easily than his father.
752
00:42:33,632 --> 00:42:35,152
Ooh!
753
00:42:37,632 --> 00:42:38,831
But this looks beautiful.
754
00:42:38,832 --> 00:42:40,631
Well, you understand, like me,
755
00:42:40,632 --> 00:42:43,631
food is the best way
to get people to come together.
756
00:42:43,632 --> 00:42:45,471
So, there's still hope for us all!
757
00:42:47,632 --> 00:42:48,633
It's the interval, Mrs Larkin.
758
00:42:48,633 --> 00:42:50,991
Oh, Libby, how is it going?
759
00:42:50,992 --> 00:42:52,631
Oh, passably well,
760
00:42:52,632 --> 00:42:55,472
but it's fair to say refreshments
will help the mood.
761
00:42:58,632 --> 00:43:01,671
Ah.
That's not going to go down well.
762
00:43:01,672 --> 00:43:03,311
Oh, yes it is!
763
00:43:03,312 --> 00:43:05,631
♪ Beans and cornbread. ♪
764
00:43:13,632 --> 00:43:16,312
Come on, let's go play outside!
Yeah, let's go play!
765
00:43:18,632 --> 00:43:21,632
You from around these parts?
No.
766
00:43:23,992 --> 00:43:26,632
What do you want to know?
I've got all the gossip.
767
00:43:29,632 --> 00:43:31,831
Tell me about the Larkins.
768
00:43:31,832 --> 00:43:33,631
They eat a couple of geese a day,
769
00:43:33,632 --> 00:43:35,631
Ma and Pop can't keep their hands
off each other.
770
00:43:35,632 --> 00:43:38,311
The kids basically live outdoors.
771
00:43:38,312 --> 00:43:40,631
Pop's so canny, he's literally sold
coals to Newcastle.
772
00:43:40,632 --> 00:43:43,471
They all watch two tellies
every night till closedown.
773
00:43:43,472 --> 00:43:45,632
Pauline, our Prince Charming
and Mariette fight like cats.
774
00:43:45,632 --> 00:43:47,672
It's all "trollop this,
floozie that".
775
00:43:49,632 --> 00:43:54,152
I've got more. Shall I go on?
No. Please don't.
776
00:43:55,632 --> 00:43:58,631
For all you poor people
with no power at home
777
00:43:58,632 --> 00:44:01,631
to cook your Christmas food -
feed your faces.
778
00:44:01,632 --> 00:44:03,631
Look at that! Lovely.
779
00:44:03,632 --> 00:44:06,631
Goodness me, is there gonna be
enough to go round, I wonder?
780
00:44:06,632 --> 00:44:08,632
That's it. Lovely.
781
00:44:10,632 --> 00:44:13,632
That's wonderful, Mrs Charlton.
That's a beautiful thing.
782
00:44:15,632 --> 00:44:18,631
That's it. Lovely, Mrs Charlton.
783
00:44:18,632 --> 00:44:19,632
Thank you.
784
00:44:19,633 --> 00:44:21,632
Right, well, this won't do.
785
00:44:23,632 --> 00:44:26,152
Mrs Fothergill, try this.
Er...
786
00:44:27,152 --> 00:44:28,631
I don't really want to.
787
00:44:28,632 --> 00:44:31,631
Yes, you do! Charley's mum made it.
788
00:44:31,632 --> 00:44:33,632
Get outside it, come on.
789
00:44:34,632 --> 00:44:37,632
Kentish ingredients
with a continental treatment.
790
00:44:40,632 --> 00:44:44,631
Mmm! Actually, that's delicious.
791
00:44:44,632 --> 00:44:45,632
What's that taste?
792
00:44:45,633 --> 00:44:49,311
Minced beef, flour and some spices
from my grandmother's kitchen.
793
00:44:49,312 --> 00:44:50,631
Wonderful!
794
00:44:50,632 --> 00:44:51,632
Mmm!
Mm!
795
00:44:51,633 --> 00:44:54,311
Thank God for that,
something with a bit of flavour.
796
00:44:54,312 --> 00:44:55,632
Careful.
797
00:44:57,632 --> 00:44:59,631
Tuck in!
Your turn.
798
00:44:59,632 --> 00:45:01,631
Form an orderly queue.
799
00:45:01,632 --> 00:45:04,631
Now, we've got
a few new things here...
800
00:45:04,632 --> 00:45:06,631
Father.
801
00:45:06,632 --> 00:45:10,631
Ooh, I am not good
at confronting people,
802
00:45:10,632 --> 00:45:12,471
especially you, but...
803
00:45:12,472 --> 00:45:14,631
Well, no,
let's not call it confrontation,
804
00:45:14,632 --> 00:45:17,632
let's call it... open-but-nice chat.
805
00:45:18,632 --> 00:45:20,991
Oh, are you enjoying the show?
806
00:45:20,992 --> 00:45:24,632
I can take you backstage afterwards
if you'd like, meet the stars.
807
00:45:25,632 --> 00:45:27,631
Terrible out there!
808
00:45:27,632 --> 00:45:29,151
They've shut the railway station.
809
00:45:29,152 --> 00:45:30,631
What?!
810
00:45:30,632 --> 00:45:31,632
The points are frozen.
811
00:45:31,633 --> 00:45:34,831
Cedric?
So, how are we going to get home?
812
00:45:34,832 --> 00:45:37,631
Sylvester, it's an adventure.
813
00:45:37,632 --> 00:45:38,672
I don't want an adventure.
814
00:45:40,472 --> 00:45:44,632
I'd prefer a quiet Christmas
with my loved ones.
815
00:45:46,632 --> 00:45:49,631
Fine, I'll drive you home
in Pop's car after the show.
816
00:45:49,632 --> 00:45:50,671
Thank you.
817
00:45:50,672 --> 00:45:54,632
It will be nice to have you home
for Christmas... on your own.
818
00:46:10,632 --> 00:46:14,631
Could your husband not bear
to watch the show, Mrs Larkin?
819
00:46:14,632 --> 00:46:18,151
Fear not, Norma, he's on a mission.
820
00:46:18,152 --> 00:46:20,632
He'll come bouncing home any moment.
821
00:46:24,632 --> 00:46:26,631
Well, that wasn't exactly
a masterclass
822
00:46:26,632 --> 00:46:28,631
in getting your point across.
What about you?!
823
00:46:28,632 --> 00:46:31,631
Goodness, Dad saw your toadying
a mile off.
824
00:46:31,632 --> 00:46:35,151
I mean, you might as well have...
have... have worn a toad costume!
825
00:46:35,152 --> 00:46:36,631
What?!
826
00:46:36,632 --> 00:46:39,631
I'll tell you the worst thing.
I'm worried you'll turn into him.
827
00:46:39,632 --> 00:46:41,631
He's not that bad!
828
00:46:41,632 --> 00:46:45,631
Argh! I mean, maybe we are all
a bit too self-indulgent.
829
00:46:45,632 --> 00:46:48,991
Argh!
Oh, no, it's started!
830
00:46:48,992 --> 00:46:50,632
What?
831
00:46:52,632 --> 00:46:55,632
This is...
This is our first lovers' tiff.
832
00:46:56,632 --> 00:46:59,631
A family row. That's so Christmassy.
833
00:46:59,632 --> 00:47:01,631
I know!
834
00:47:08,632 --> 00:47:11,311
Look, he's my dad,
I'll sort it out.
835
00:47:11,312 --> 00:47:12,632
Good.
836
00:47:26,632 --> 00:47:28,631
Hasten to Bethlehem,
837
00:47:28,632 --> 00:47:32,631
where the son of God
will be born imminently.
838
00:47:32,632 --> 00:47:33,832
What will we do with the sheep?
839
00:47:33,832 --> 00:47:35,631
What sheep?
840
00:47:37,632 --> 00:47:38,672
Oh, have they gone again?
841
00:47:40,832 --> 00:47:42,471
Oh, there they are!
842
00:47:46,472 --> 00:47:47,831
But we can't just abandon them.
843
00:47:47,832 --> 00:47:51,632
So, come and tend to them.
844
00:47:59,632 --> 00:48:03,631
The night is serene,
as though the world is waiting.
845
00:48:03,632 --> 00:48:06,631
There it is before me,
846
00:48:06,632 --> 00:48:08,312
a magical place.
847
00:48:09,152 --> 00:48:10,991
A moment in time,
848
00:48:10,992 --> 00:48:13,672
a coming-together,
seemingly insignificant...
849
00:48:16,312 --> 00:48:18,631
but not.
850
00:48:18,632 --> 00:48:20,831
Our spark of humanity,
851
00:48:20,832 --> 00:48:22,832
burning brightly.
852
00:48:25,632 --> 00:48:27,631
Hello, kiddies!
853
00:48:27,632 --> 00:48:29,992
I hope you're all having
a lovely time.
854
00:48:31,152 --> 00:48:34,471
There you go, kiddies. Lunch!
855
00:48:34,472 --> 00:48:35,632
The black things
should be liquorice,
856
00:48:35,632 --> 00:48:38,631
but check before you eat -
this is a barn!
857
00:48:38,632 --> 00:48:39,672
Over here!
858
00:48:41,632 --> 00:48:43,632
Yay!
Lovely kiddies!

I'm so tired and so happy,
868
00:49:31,312 --> 00:49:33,631
as though I've given birth
to the whole world.
869
00:49:33,632 --> 00:49:36,152
Maybe there is something
to this religion thing.
870
00:49:38,632 --> 00:49:39,632
Greetings.
871
00:49:39,633 --> 00:49:41,631
I have travelled far,
872
00:49:41,632 --> 00:49:43,631
and come with gifts
for the baby Jesus,
873
00:49:43,632 --> 00:49:46,631
of gold, of frankincense and myrrh.
874
00:49:46,632 --> 00:49:48,632
That'll be useful
875
00:49:53,632 --> 00:49:57,471
And the best gift of all
is a new beginning
876
00:49:57,472 --> 00:50:00,631
and the joy of Christmases to come!
877
00:50:11,632 --> 00:50:16,632
Bravo!
Bravo!
878
00:50:19,632 --> 00:50:21,631
Thank you. You're so kind.
879
00:50:21,632 --> 00:50:23,831
It looked like
it would be absolutely ghastly.
880
00:50:23,832 --> 00:50:28,631
You see, Norma, that's a show.
I can't see you being asked back.
881
00:50:28,632 --> 00:50:30,631
Good. More time at home with me.
882
00:50:30,632 --> 00:50:33,632
No, not good, Alec!
883
00:50:35,632 --> 00:50:36,632
Bravo!
884
00:50:43,632 --> 00:50:47,632
Oh, sorry I missed the show,
everyone.
885
00:50:48,632 --> 00:50:52,631
Could you do it all again, please?
886
00:50:52,632 --> 00:50:53,632
I'm game. Anyone else?
887
00:50:57,552 --> 00:50:59,551
Lovely to see you, Mr and Mrs Nunn.
888
00:50:59,552 --> 00:51:01,551
Now, don't you leave it
so long next time.
889
00:51:01,552 --> 00:51:03,551
Thanks, Pop.
Merry Christmas.
890
00:51:03,552 --> 00:51:05,552
The rest of you, you're all
very welcome to stay over.
891
00:51:05,552 --> 00:51:07,551
You've got no electrics at home.
892
00:51:07,552 --> 00:51:09,072
There's plenty of nosh
and booze and hay.
893
00:51:10,232 --> 00:51:12,551
Norma and I would rather lose
a nose to frostbite
894
00:51:12,552 --> 00:51:13,553
than stay with the Larkins.
895
00:51:13,553 --> 00:51:16,591
Oh, well, if you're sure.
Yeah, please yourself.
896
00:51:16,592 --> 00:51:18,552
You're too kind.
897
00:51:19,752 --> 00:51:22,391
Pop...
What?
898
00:51:22,392 --> 00:51:24,551
Which toe did Roy shoot off?
899
00:51:24,552 --> 00:51:25,552
Oh, the middle.
900
00:51:25,553 --> 00:51:28,551
Hospital reckons that ain't one of
the important ones.
901
00:51:28,552 --> 00:51:30,552
It'll remind him what an idiot
he was. Not half, yeah.
902
00:51:30,552 --> 00:51:34,551
It was so nice to see Ambrose
and his family not hiding away.
903
00:51:34,552 --> 00:51:36,551
Let's hope no-one ever hears
904
00:51:36,552 --> 00:51:39,231
that is was one of them
that did those burglaries.
905
00:51:39,232 --> 00:51:40,551
Ma, it was all Roy.
906
00:51:40,552 --> 00:51:42,551
Even his dad didn't know.
907
00:51:42,552 --> 00:51:44,592
I mean, I've trusted the kid
to return what he stole
908
00:51:44,592 --> 00:51:46,751
by tomorrow, anonymous, like.
909
00:51:46,752 --> 00:51:48,911
He'd better not let me down.
No.
910
00:51:48,912 --> 00:51:51,551
It'll ruin folks' Christmas
if they don't get their things back.
911
00:51:53,552 --> 00:51:54,912
Oh, goodness, what is that?
912
00:51:56,552 --> 00:51:57,552
Especially Edith.
913
00:51:57,553 --> 00:52:01,551
Oh, yeah.
What a lovely day for her, though.
914
00:52:01,552 --> 00:52:04,551
She's planning to do
Nativity: The Opera next year.
915
00:52:04,552 --> 00:52:06,551
Maybe we should go away.
916
00:52:08,552 --> 00:52:11,751
That was the best acting
I've seen in my life.
917
00:52:11,752 --> 00:52:15,551
The things men will say
to get in my... good books.
918
00:52:15,552 --> 00:52:20,551
No, I mean it.
You were... strong but vulnerable.
919
00:52:20,552 --> 00:52:22,232
Really, though?
Yes.
920
00:52:23,552 --> 00:52:25,551
And I can't let you leave, sorry.
921
00:52:25,552 --> 00:52:27,911
Why's that?
Safety grounds.
922
00:52:27,912 --> 00:52:30,591
Looks like
they've just crashed their car.
923
00:52:30,592 --> 00:52:32,552
Change of plan. We will stay.
924
00:52:34,552 --> 00:52:36,551
Easy, Norma.
Small sips, as discussed.
925
00:52:36,552 --> 00:52:39,551
Or what,
you'll drive me into a hedge?
926
00:52:39,552 --> 00:52:41,552
Oh, no, you already have!
927
00:53:15,552 --> 00:53:19,551
Here, Ma, those Charltons
are good people, in't they?
928
00:53:19,552 --> 00:53:21,551
Mm-hm.
929
00:53:21,552 --> 00:53:23,551
Ginnika's a darlin',
930
00:53:23,552 --> 00:53:25,552
but the old man's
a tougher nut to crack.
931
00:53:29,392 --> 00:53:31,072
Do you think
we should say something?
932
00:53:32,552 --> 00:53:36,551
No, absolutely not.
933
00:53:36,552 --> 00:53:37,553
Tell you what we should do,
934
00:53:37,553 --> 00:53:41,231
just let Mariette and Charley
sort it out.
935
00:53:41,232 --> 00:53:42,752
Come on, come on.
936
00:54:23,552 --> 00:54:26,551
Oh, I love it when you need me.
937
00:54:26,552 --> 00:54:28,551
And off you go.
I know it sounded like a good idea
938
00:54:28,552 --> 00:54:30,552
to get Charley's parents along,
but it's been a disaster!
939
00:54:30,552 --> 00:54:33,551
I want us to be happy
and obsessed with each other,
940
00:54:33,552 --> 00:54:34,592
like we were in France
when it was just us,
941
00:54:34,592 --> 00:54:37,551
but now I've had my first proper row
and I feel all...
942
00:54:39,552 --> 00:54:41,551
I think you know the answer.
943
00:54:41,552 --> 00:54:43,591
Being with someone
can't all be wine and roses.
944
00:54:43,592 --> 00:54:47,552
Sometimes there's nettles
and bladderwort in with the roses.
945
00:54:50,552 --> 00:54:53,552
Leave Charley to sort out
his own family, trust him.
946
00:54:55,232 --> 00:54:59,392
You follow your heart, my darling,
and enjoy Christmas Day.
947
00:55:11,552 --> 00:55:14,551
Shouldn't you be taking
the Christmas Day service, Vicar?
948
00:55:14,552 --> 00:55:18,551
My chaplain will do it. I can't risk
getting stuck in the snow.
949
00:55:18,552 --> 00:55:20,552
Or missing a hot breakfast.
950
00:55:25,552 --> 00:55:27,551
Erm...
Oh, Charley.
951
00:55:27,552 --> 00:55:30,551
We love you, Charley,
and you're very bright.
952
00:55:30,552 --> 00:55:32,551
Not as bright as Primrose,
apparently.
953
00:55:32,552 --> 00:55:34,591
It's not a competition.
So, you'll know the saying
954
00:55:34,592 --> 00:55:37,551
"Walk a mile
in someone else's shoes."
955
00:55:37,552 --> 00:55:38,552
Mm-hm.
956
00:55:38,553 --> 00:55:39,554
Well, I don't think you've tried
957
00:55:39,554 --> 00:55:41,552
walking in your dad's footwear
recently.
958
00:55:49,552 --> 00:55:50,552
Thank you, Ma!
959
00:55:50,552 --> 00:55:51,552
You're welcome.
960
00:55:56,552 --> 00:55:58,751
So, tell him how you feel.
961
00:55:58,752 --> 00:56:00,911
I should not need to tell him.
962
00:56:00,912 --> 00:56:03,232
He's in love. He's not normal.
963
00:56:06,552 --> 00:56:08,551
Yes, come in.
964
00:56:08,552 --> 00:56:09,552
Hi.
965
00:56:11,552 --> 00:56:13,551
Merry Christmas.
966
00:56:13,552 --> 00:56:15,552
Merry Christmas!
967
00:56:20,232 --> 00:56:21,552
Merry Christmas.
968
00:56:23,552 --> 00:56:26,551
Come on, Dad, enough of this.
969
00:56:26,552 --> 00:56:29,592
Right, well...
970
00:56:32,552 --> 00:56:35,551
Well, firstly, forgive me.
971
00:56:35,552 --> 00:56:37,551
You do everything for me,
972
00:56:37,552 --> 00:56:39,551
and then out of the blue, I ring you
973
00:56:39,552 --> 00:56:42,551
to say that I've left my job
and I've moved to the country.
974
00:56:42,552 --> 00:56:45,551
And then I'm in France,
and I haven't seen you for months.
975
00:56:45,552 --> 00:56:51,552
So, yes, is it any wonder that you
are feeling sad and aggrieved?
976
00:56:53,552 --> 00:56:54,591
Especially you, Dad.
977
00:56:54,592 --> 00:56:56,551
Because, well, like me,
978
00:56:56,552 --> 00:56:58,551
you aren't very good
at expressing yourself.
979
00:56:58,552 --> 00:57:01,551
And, incidentally,
we both need to do better,
980
00:57:01,552 --> 00:57:05,552
because, well,
it's hard work for everyone else.
981
00:57:06,552 --> 00:57:09,551
But I promise you
I will spend more time with you,
982
00:57:09,552 --> 00:57:10,552
and we can talk.
983
00:57:10,553 --> 00:57:13,551
And, yes, I know
I may not be a taxman any more...
984
00:57:13,552 --> 00:57:14,552
That's really OK.
985
00:57:14,553 --> 00:57:17,551
No, I...
I will make you proud of me
986
00:57:17,552 --> 00:57:22,072
for what I achieve
in this lovely, lovely village.
987
00:57:24,552 --> 00:57:27,752
I'm... I'm sorry.
988
00:57:29,552 --> 00:57:32,552
You must have felt like
I didn't care about you.
989
00:57:33,912 --> 00:57:36,551
Well, you're not wrong there.
990
00:57:36,552 --> 00:57:39,552
Oh, but why do you hate Mariette,
Dad?
991
00:57:40,552 --> 00:57:42,551
She stole our son from us.
992
00:57:42,552 --> 00:57:44,551
No! No, she didn't.
993
00:57:44,552 --> 00:57:46,912
Dad, I threw myself at her,
and she resisted.
994
00:57:48,232 --> 00:57:51,551
And she's always telling me off
for how much I neglect you.
995
00:57:51,552 --> 00:57:55,552
Well, if you let her...
996
00:57:57,552 --> 00:57:59,552
she'll love you too, Dad.
997
00:58:03,552 --> 00:58:04,552
Please, Dad.
998
00:58:07,552 --> 00:58:08,552
I'm sorry.
999
00:58:09,552 --> 00:58:11,552
But we're worried, son.
Yes, we are.
1000
00:58:13,552 --> 00:58:15,551
She's prettier
and quicker-witted than you.
1001
00:58:15,552 --> 00:58:17,552
So you'll need to work hard
to keep her.
1002
00:58:20,552 --> 00:58:22,072
Sorry.
1003
00:58:36,472 --> 00:58:38,472
Shh, shh, shh, it's OK.
1004
00:58:40,992 --> 00:58:44,152
I know. Who's a good boy?
1005
00:58:53,472 --> 00:58:55,472
Oh, Charley!
1006
00:58:56,672 --> 00:58:59,471
Hello.
Look at you!
1007
00:58:59,472 --> 00:59:01,671
You didn't...
You didn't kill him, did you?
1008
00:59:01,672 --> 00:59:04,472
No, no. I just...
1009
00:59:05,992 --> 00:59:07,472
I walked in his shoes.
1010
00:59:08,672 --> 00:59:10,471
Oh, they love you, by the way.
1011
00:59:10,472 --> 00:59:14,311
Well, Mum does. Dad'll catch up.
1012
00:59:14,312 --> 00:59:15,512
Hello!
1013
00:59:21,472 --> 00:59:24,471
Ah...
You know what we should do?
1014
00:59:24,472 --> 00:59:26,471
Yes!
1015
00:59:26,472 --> 00:59:28,471
Yeah, this is as good a place
as any.
1016
00:59:28,472 --> 00:59:30,472
No, no!
1017
00:59:32,472 --> 00:59:33,832
Get married.
1018
00:59:46,472 --> 00:59:49,312
Oh, my...
1019
00:59:50,472 --> 00:59:53,152
Charley, Charley,
I need your answer!
1020
00:59:57,472 --> 00:59:59,471
Yes.
1021
00:59:59,472 --> 01:00:01,472
Yes!
1022
01:00:03,472 --> 01:00:04,472
Yes.
1023
01:00:04,473 --> 01:00:06,472
Yes! Yes!
1024
01:00:14,472 --> 01:00:16,152
Mum, Dad...
1025
01:00:17,472 --> 01:00:19,312
we're getting married!
1026
01:00:20,472 --> 01:00:22,152
What took you so long?
1027
01:00:24,472 --> 01:00:27,472
Oh!
Come here!
1028
01:00:29,472 --> 01:00:31,472
Mum, Dad!
1029
01:00:32,832 --> 01:00:35,472
Charley and me are getting married.
1030
01:00:36,472 --> 01:00:38,471
Fine by us.
Yeah, yeah.
1031
01:00:38,472 --> 01:00:40,472
But I'm not sure
Charley's mum and dad will like it.
1032
01:00:40,472 --> 01:00:42,472
No, they love it.
1033
01:00:43,472 --> 01:00:45,831
Really? Oh!
1034
01:00:45,832 --> 01:00:48,472
Oh, Ma, I'm so happy.
1035
01:00:49,472 --> 01:00:51,471
Can I apologise?
1036
01:00:51,472 --> 01:00:53,471
No, you can't.
1037
01:00:53,472 --> 01:00:55,472
You know why? You're family now.
1038
01:00:56,472 --> 01:00:59,471
And talking of family...
Come here, you!
1039
01:00:59,472 --> 01:01:00,831
Bloody kids.
Yeah!
1040
01:01:00,832 --> 01:01:02,471
Ruin Christmas, don't they?
1041
01:01:02,472 --> 01:01:04,151
Brilliant.
1042
01:01:04,152 --> 01:01:06,312
Welcome to the family.
Thank you.
1043
01:01:08,472 --> 01:01:10,152
Brilliant, eh?
1044
01:01:11,472 --> 01:01:14,472
I'm off to retrieve
young Roy's stolen picking's.
1045
01:01:18,472 --> 01:01:24,472
Norma? We're not leaving
until my face stops throbbing.
1046
01:01:45,472 --> 01:01:46,991
Ginnika, Sylvester,
1047
01:01:46,992 --> 01:01:49,151
something to warm your cockles
of your heart.
1048
01:01:49,152 --> 01:01:51,471
SHE CHUCKLES Thanks, Ma.
1049
01:01:51,472 --> 01:01:53,472
Thank you, Ma.
Yes.
1050
01:01:55,472 --> 01:01:57,471
Your Reverency.
1051
01:01:57,472 --> 01:01:59,151
Biscuit or something?
1052
01:01:59,152 --> 01:02:02,471
You never say no. Alec, Norma?
1053
01:02:02,472 --> 01:02:03,472
Hair of the dog!
1054
01:02:06,472 --> 01:02:09,471
Brigadier? Ah, we could all do with
a little refreshment.
1055
01:02:09,472 --> 01:02:11,472
Pop!
1056
01:02:18,312 --> 01:02:19,992
Merry Christmas, Pop!
1057
01:02:24,472 --> 01:02:26,471
There you go.
1058
01:02:26,472 --> 01:02:28,991
Ho, ho, bloody ho, everyone.
1059
01:02:28,992 --> 01:02:30,472
I bring you gifts.
1060
01:02:32,312 --> 01:02:33,471
It's all your own stuff,
1061
01:02:33,472 --> 01:02:36,831
but you'll be glad
to get it back anyway.
1062
01:02:36,832 --> 01:02:38,471
What? Oh!
1063
01:02:38,472 --> 01:02:39,472
Edith.
1064
01:02:46,472 --> 01:02:48,471
You do a lovely pucker, Edith,
you really do.
1065
01:02:48,472 --> 01:02:50,472
Right, let's see what else
I've got in my sack, eh?
1066
01:02:50,472 --> 01:02:53,471
Where did you find the swag,
Mr Larkin?
1067
01:02:53,472 --> 01:02:55,471
The brave and courageous PC Harness
1068
01:02:55,472 --> 01:02:58,671
tracked it down
to Alec Norman's shed.
1069
01:02:58,672 --> 01:03:01,511
I did?
Yes, you did.
1070
01:03:01,512 --> 01:03:03,831
I did! I did.
1071
01:03:03,832 --> 01:03:06,471
All right, I'll keep you on.
1072
01:03:06,472 --> 01:03:08,991
I knew it.
What?! No!
1073
01:03:08,992 --> 01:03:10,471
That makes total sense.
1074
01:03:10,472 --> 01:03:12,471
You do hate most people, Alec.
1075
01:03:12,472 --> 01:03:15,991
No, I love people! They're super.
1076
01:03:15,992 --> 01:03:17,991
Well,
seeing as it's Christmas, Alec,
1077
01:03:17,992 --> 01:03:21,472
if you beg, maybe the law
will let you off with a warning.
1078
01:03:22,472 --> 01:03:24,471
And next,
out of Father Christmas' sack,
1079
01:03:24,472 --> 01:03:27,471
maestro, this must be yours.
1080
01:03:27,472 --> 01:03:28,671
My Hamlet.
1081
01:03:28,672 --> 01:03:32,472
Oh, my darling, here I am again.
A man of infinite jest.
1082
01:03:34,312 --> 01:03:35,471
General.
1083
01:03:35,472 --> 01:03:37,311
My revolver!
1084
01:03:37,312 --> 01:03:40,151
Oh, wow!
We were robbed too?
1085
01:03:40,152 --> 01:03:42,472
We really must keep a tidier house.
1086
01:03:46,472 --> 01:03:51,471
Mariette, congratulations
on your engagement at last!
1087
01:03:51,472 --> 01:03:53,471
Oh, thank you, Pauline.
1088
01:03:53,472 --> 01:03:56,471
And you, on finding yourself
a nice policeman!
1089
01:03:56,472 --> 01:03:57,472
Hm!
1090
01:03:57,473 --> 01:04:00,472
It will never last.
I give it a week.
1091
01:04:03,472 --> 01:04:05,471
Why are you blubbing?
1092
01:04:05,472 --> 01:04:08,471
It's just so romantic.
You know, the love and the snow,
1093
01:04:08,472 --> 01:04:11,471
two very culturally different
families joining as one.
1094
01:04:11,472 --> 01:04:13,471
Have you been drinking, dafty?
1095
01:04:13,472 --> 01:04:15,471
I had a sherry, yes.
1096
01:04:15,472 --> 01:04:17,471
And a baby yesterday.
1097
01:04:22,472 --> 01:04:24,472
Thanks, Ma.
1098
01:04:27,472 --> 01:04:28,473
Merry Christmas, everyone.
1099
01:04:28,473 --> 01:04:30,472
Merry Christmas!
1100
01:04:39,472 --> 01:04:41,472
