Musborough Junction!
Change here for Tatchester and Newminster!

Excuse me.
Where do I get the train for Condicote?

For Condicote, Tatchester,
Yockwardine and Newminster,

go to number five platform
by the footbridge.

Thank you, sir.

Ah, young man.

Barney Dog has made friends
with you at first sight.

That's the time that likings are made.

You are looking for your ticket, which, lo,
is on the platform, dropped at your feet.

But it can't be.

- Why, so it is. Thank you, sir.
- You must have slipped it out as you rumpaged.

As I what? Can I give you a hand?

Ooh, if you would be so kind.

Hold me steady as I swing her up,

then I can get her to my back
where she rides a-triumph.

Only I do date from pagan times,

and age makes joints to creak.

- Or doesn't it?
- I should think it does.

Then, there we are.

Oh, my train! Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much!

By the way, my name's Harker. Kay Harker.

Yes, I do know.

- Going home for the holidays, ha-ha, what?
- Yes, sir.

Very seasonable weather, too.

Snow. I like snow.

Over Christmas, I wonder if you'll
play games, and, er...do card tricks?

- I don't know any card tricks.
- Not know any? Allow me to teach you one.

- I don't think I'll be very good at it.
- I see that you'll be very clever at it.

Don't you agree, Tristan? He has the face of
one certain to be very clever at card tricks.

Hmm, the very face.

Just the facial angle
and the Borromean Index.

Let nothing tempt you into playing
cards with strangers on a train.

That's what my guardian says.

There's no harm in showing him a trick
card sharpers use to deceive the unwary.

- Ha-ha, what?
- True, true.

Now...

- Which is the lady?
- That one.

So it is!

Gosh, what it is to have young eyes,
is it not?

I owe you sixpence.

I'm not usually allowed to play for money.

Very good principle...

..but if I beat you this time,

you shall give me half a crown for the
poor box for next Sunday's collection.

- But I...
- Agreed!

- That would simply be sportsman's honour.
- Of course.

Now...

- Which is the lady?
- That one.

I saw her from underneath
as the cards went down.

Oh!

Half a crown.

Charming little fella.
Do you keep dogs at Seekings, Mr Harker?

How do you know my name and where I live?

- Aha!
- Magic?

Kay!

Kay!

- Jim, give Master Kay a hand, will you?
- Why, Master Kay, how you have growed.

- Learning seems to suit 'ee.
- Thank you.

I do believe he's right. Yes, I think
you've grown a full half-inch this term.

Caroline Louisa!

Pickpockets!

There must have been pickpockets in the
crowd. My purse and my watch - gone!

Oh, what a good start to the holidays

- Here's the ticket I couldn't find.
- Don't be silly.

- I saw you hand it in to the man at the gate.
- The old man.

Can we give him a lift?

Excuse me, sir.
Is that a Punch and Judy show?

I am, so to speak, a showman,

but the secrets of my show,
they aren't to be had by everyone, are they?

- I was to ask whether you'd like a lift into town.
- It being so cold.

No. I thank you, Master Harker.
You must get home to Seekings.

Time and tide and buttered
eggs wait for no man.

But one thing you CAN do for me.

The wolves are running.

Perhaps you would do
something to stop their bite?

Wolves?

If you will, there is something no
other soul can do for me but you alone.

Look for the old lady, Master Kay.

The old lady with the ring.

- Caroline Louisa, are we having muffins?
- No, tea cakes.

I'd love some muffins.
Can we stop at Bob the baker's?

You'll have to lend me some tin.
I haven't a tosser to my kick.

Kay!
You know you're not allowed to use slang.

Tosser to my kick

About these pickpockets -
who else was on the train?

Two weird chaps. It can't have been them.
They were sort of clergymen.

But it was peculiar. They knew my
name and that I lived at Seekings.

They could have read that
on your luggage labels.

I don't suppose you were
robbed by that old man?

Never. He wouldn't do that.
I know he wouldn't.

Jim, can you stop at the baker's, please?

Well, are you going to cough up?

Please... The wolves are running.

He says if I tell you, you will know,
and the others will know,

and no one will get bit.

- What else are we having to eat?
- Something especially for you.

- Buttered eggs.
- How did you guess?

Time and tide and buttered
eggs wait for no man.

Kay, all the Jones children
are with us for the holidays.

- Golly, how did that happen?
- Their parents had to go abroad.

The children had nowhere to go for Christmas.
You don't mind?

No. I like the Joneses.
There's rather a gollop of them, though.

Look. I wonder who owns those Alsatians?

A good many people have them now -
for protection. I never liked them.

They're too like wolves.

- Stick 'em up!
- Maria, really!

Maria, don't point guns at people.
Hello, Kay.

- Hello.
- Oh, pooh, it's only a toy.

I've got a real gun at home.
I pop balloons and tin cans with it.

It's an air gun, and it's not really yours.

Kay, you remember my sensible
sisters Susan and Jemima?

Yes, of course. Hello.

Kay, what are we gonna do this Christmas? If
we're snowed in, it could get awfully boring.

What Jemima means is what Christmas treats
you might have. She's not very polite.

Golly, I am stupid. I should have asked that
old Punch and Judy man to give us a show.

Ugh! My idea of a Christmas treat

is if a gang of robbers burgled the neighbourhood,
and we battled it out with revolvers.

- Bang, bang, bang!
- I hope we may be spared that.

Christmas ought to be brought up to date with
gangsters, automatic pistols and aeroplanes.

Nee-arn...

Can we go into town and
see if we can find him?

You may go, but it is getting rather cold. I
think your guests should get ready for supper.

Master Harker? Kay Harker.

They tell me the wolves are running.

If you see someone...

..say someone is safe.

And look out for fun, Master Harker.

Hey, have you seen...?

The Drop of Dew.

If I saw someone,
I was to tell someone that someone is safe.

Ah...

When the wolves are running,
that's more than anyone knows.

Would you tell me what you mean by wolves?

Now, then, you want me to go up to
Seekings with my Punch and Judy.

- How did you know?
- I will come.

And I may bring more than my show.

In my box are such delights as you...

You're a good, kind boy,
and you may see something of the box.

Is it...? Are you...

..magic?

Now, then, you're fond of birds, aren't you?

What bird would you most like to see?

Um...

There is a bird I've always wanted to see...

..but I don't think it really exists.

A phoenix!

I've really seen a phoenix!

Which you thought didn't exist.

Let's see if we can wake him up, shall we?
Ready?

One...two...three...

Wake up, Mr Punch!

I understand you've been
extremely wicked and bad!

Oh, no!

I shall take you down to
you-know-where to be punished!

No, no!

But as it's Christmas,
I've decided to give you one more chance.

- Promise you'll be good.
- Yes, yes!

- I know you will be.
- Oh, I will.

May Punch be good and Judy fair,

and evil vanish into air.

May we have the lights, please?

- There's someone out there.
- Well, we'll soon see.

- # The first Noel #
- Oh, look!

# The angel did say... #

Oh. A silly old choir.

# In fields as they lay

# In fields where they lay... #

It's the cathedral choir from Tatchester.
The bishop is with them.

# On a cold winter's night that was so deep

# Noel, Noel

# Noel, Noel

# Born is the King of Israel #

- More punch, Your Grace?
- No, no. Don't tempt me.

Ah. The very man I want to speak to.

Um... Mr, er...?

Hawlings, Your Grace. Cole Hawlings.

I'm giving a Christmas party
tomorrow evening at five o'clock,

and you're all invited, especially you, Mr
Cole Hawlings, with your Punch and Judy show.

Right gladly will I come, Your Grace,

for I've played a Christmas play upon
that night ever since pagan times.

- In a manner of speaking.
- Oh.

Take care on your way home, now.

- Merry Christmas.
- And to you. Goodnight.

Oh, one thing more. On Christmas Eve,
the midnight service in Tatchester Cathedral

will be the thousandth Christmas
ceremony to be held there.

A special service every single
Christmas for 1,000 years!

- You must come and make it truly memorable.
- We shall be there, Your Grace.

Whatever happens in between,
we shall be there.

- Goodnight!
- Merry Christmas!

Ah, Your Grace!

- We were just too late for your concert, what?
- No matter.

Kay, come in out of the cold. Come on.

Seekings.

Now that soppy singing's over,
we're gonna play pirates.

- Go on up. I'll be there in a minute.
- Thank you.

Yes.

- They're outside.
- What do they want?

My old magic.

Their new magic is sometimes
too powerful for mine,

but I have something they want.

The Box of Delights.

What picture is that?

It was painted by my grandfather.

It's a mountain in Switzerland.

Hold his head.

Allez-hup, and off we go.

Watch out for wolves, Master Kay.

Come on. Come on, Barney Dog.

Kay?

That was London on the telephone.

My brother's ill again, and they think I
should pop up to see him - just for a day.

I hate leaving all of you on your own, but it's
Christmas - season of goodwill and all that.

Nothing can go wrong, can it? I shall catch
the evening train. Will you see me off?

Kay, what are you gaping at?

Jim, I've got to go Christmas
shopping for those blessed Joneses.

Can you drop me near the shops?
I'll find my own way home.

Well?

Here we are, then, ha-ha, what?

We are not all here yet.

Where's Rat?

- Rat, my dear!
- You got any green cheese for me?

As green as only you can eat.

And what are we to do next, what?

You, Foxy Faced Charles,

and you, my Chubby Joe...

..let that old devil of a Punch and
Judy man slip through my fingers!

Ah,
but we overheard some valuable information.

The bishop gives a Christmas
party at his palace in Tatchester.

Tomorrow at five, guv.
And the old boy'll be there.

Christmas party.

Tatchester.

Off you go to Tatchester - right now.

Smell out the ground.

Right.

Them's the two you want to watch, boss.

Like to be chief. Both of 'em would.

Even 'im - "Ha-ha, what?"

Huh!

Well, have you found anything for me, Rat?

At the Drop of Dew.
Before the boy come along.

The old man had a pow-wow with her.

The old woman with the flashing eyes.

- Expect action at dawn tomorrow.
- Dawn?

Action?

- Where?
- Bacon rind I was hoping for, not just cheese.

- Bacon rind you shall have tomorrow.
- Oh, yes. Tomorrow

That brings the plump to a man -
bacon rind tomorrow.

That, and marrowbone the day
after makes your fur shine.

Rat, dear.

I said...WHERE?!

The old man will be near King Arthur's
Camp on Bottler's Down, up on the hill.

Brave Rat.

Beautiful Rat.

Report to me then, after the action at dawn.

11am. My private rooms.

Prince Rupert's Arms.

I will get that box from him, Rat,

for it will give me power.

Power over all!

As for their thousandth Christmas ceremony,
well...

..we'll see about that.

- But if anyone else gets in my way...
- Meaning the boy?

Meaning the boy.

Young Master Harker!

If he should get in our way...

Kay? What's the matter?

King Arthur's Camp. I'm needed there.

- I know I am. Will you come?
- Come?

It must be nearly midnight. Anyway,
that hasn't been a camp for centuries.

It's just a big lump of earth
in the middle of nowhere.

Oh, go back to sleep.

Hello, pony.

Pony, pony, how do we get in?
