00:00I've got the face on it.
00:17Anyone, I think I was giving you a bed bath.
00:20I could have done this myself, couldn't I?
00:21Yeah, you could, just really badly.
00:23Morning, Phil.
00:24I'm, uh...
00:25Uh, Kat's come round to dress... dress me up.
00:27What happened to you, Ron?
00:31I, uh, I was carrying out a pound of hot water when I had tripped.
00:35Well, you want to be careful.
00:36Your balance falls off a cliff in old age.
00:39Listen to that, or you'll be the one falling off a cliff.
00:41You heard that.
00:42If anything happens to me, you're my witness.
00:45Anyone want, um...
00:48You stuck them on the fridge yesterday.
00:51You... Do you remember who they are?
00:53Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:54That's Mrs. C.
00:56Uh, Debbie and Claire, Julie, Josh.
01:01It feels like only yesterday.
01:03What does?
01:04Being with, um...
01:06Julie and Debbie.
01:08Not at the same time, I hope.
01:14She died, didn't she, Debbie?
01:16Yeah, yeah.
01:18Yeah, she did, mate.
01:19Right, I'd better get going.
01:20See if the boys are ready.
01:21I'll pop back later, yeah?
01:23Cheers.
01:23Yeah.
01:24Yeah, cheers.
01:26I know I get muddled from time to time,
01:34and I know that, um, you must find it hard.
01:39Uh, but I want you to know that I'm...
01:44I'm grateful to be here with you.
01:47Right, Tommy?
01:57Yeah, I'm coming back now.
01:59Right, darling.
02:00See you in a bit.
02:01Oh, so we're actually going through with this charade, then, are we?
02:14It's not a charade if it gets Barney back on track.
02:18Oh, you've got to be kidding.
02:19My fault's entirely, son.
02:21Oh, don't be so miserable, all right?
02:26Half Christmas has its benefits, remember?
02:30You want me half cut using heavy machinery?
02:32Are you trying to bump me off and all?
02:34Oh, yes.
02:35I wasn't sure you were actually going to go through with it.
02:37Yeah, of course we are.
02:39Half Christmas is back, darling, and it's going to be better than ever.
02:42Can I help decorate the tree?
02:44Oh, Barney, you know my feelings on that.
02:48Look, it's a job for an artist.
02:50If I need a little help, your dad's here to help.
02:53There's 20 quid in my purse.
02:55Go and enjoy yourself.
02:56Oh, thanks, Mum.
02:58Thanks, Mum.
03:00Do you remember why we started this stupid tradition?
03:04Oh, nothing to say.
03:08And what about Zach?
03:10Shireen?
03:12Nothing to say about them either?
03:14Nah.
03:15Nah, it's better we just sit round the table, pulling crackers,
03:18and eating a turkey no-one wants.
03:20Like, none of it happened.
03:22Will it happen, Bon?
03:25Oh.
03:27Barney!
03:39All right?
03:40They're kids.
03:42Now they're at school.
03:43Has Yolandi said anything to you about the kids having a party round hers tomorrow?
03:48I've had Tommy in my ear hole.
03:50Yeah.
03:50Dental's babysitting, isn't he?
03:52Oh, is that right?
03:53Yeah.
03:54Because when I asked Tommy if he'd take the twins with him,
03:56he said it was for older boys only.
03:59Trying to pull a fast one.
04:01He thinks he can get away with anything, because Alfie ain't here.
04:03Oh, I...
04:04Um, you know what you were saying yesterday about feeling lonely?
04:09I mean, it's totally understandable why you would want to, you know, find someone, like a companion.
04:19Um...
04:19I just saw you leaving Phil's house.
04:21Seriously.
04:23Alfie goes walkabouts and I'm sleeping with my ex.
04:27Well, you said you're lonely, which means you're vulnerable.
04:29Yeah, I am.
04:30But we're not all Harvey, jumping into bed with our neighbours at the drop of a flaming hat.
04:35Right, well, I'm glad you're clear about your feelings.
04:37Just make sure Phil is.
04:38You need to see this for what it is.
04:49Mum's making out she's doing it for you, but she ain't.
04:51Well, at least she's doing something.
04:52What are you doing, Harry?
04:53Just moaning as usual.
04:55Billy, we're having a celebration around last tomorrow.
04:58Did you want to come?
04:59We're hanging on your birthday, is it?
05:00No, no, it's a half-Christmas tradition we have.
05:04Half-Christmas?
05:06It's Mum's idea.
05:07One year, she ruined Christmas so bad, she invented half-Christmas to make up for it.
05:13Paper over the cracks.
05:15And now she's doing it again, trying to win Barnova.
05:18Make him forget what she's done.
05:20Yeah, but you see right through her.
05:22So why are you letting her get away with it?
05:25Come on, see you tomorrow.
05:26See you later.
05:31Amy, are you going around Denzel's tomorrow night?
05:33Probably why?
05:35I don't know, just because I'm not the only one going.
05:38I'll be there.
05:39Anything to get out of the house.
05:43He's missing Charlie and Lily, so I wouldn't count on him being much fun.
05:46To be honest, he wasn't the one I was looking to have some fun with.
05:50Grinch.
05:50I know Barnova's probably told you all sorts about me, but most of that ain't true.
05:55I'm actually quite a sensitive guy.
05:57Is that right?
05:58Come tomorrow and I'll prove it.
06:00We could hang out now.
06:02Come on, I'll let you buy me some chips.
06:03You know she's a conference daughter, right?
06:05What's that supposed to mean?
06:06Well, if you don't think mad tomorrow night, she's probably going to snitch.
06:09Is that really what you think of me?
06:10What was that?
06:15I was just trying to protect her.
06:16Me or her?
06:17Yeah.
06:18I'm starting to think you ain't a real man, Tommy.
06:22I'm starting to think you're more like a woman.
06:24I'm weak.
06:25Can you believe a fella was going to throw all these away?
06:36Yeah, I can, because no one watches DVDs anymore.
06:40Or swapping shirts just away against some mug to save you going to the tip.
06:43You're a philistine, do you know that?
06:45This is a treasure trove of classic horror.
06:48Tonight, you and me are going to watch my all-time favourite, The Exorcist.
06:53Uh, no, I can't, you can't.
06:55Lex is going mad.
06:57Me granddaughter.
06:59Oh, we're crying out loud tonight.
07:00She comes around here all the time.
07:02I can't be expected to know everyone and everything, can I?
07:05It's too much.
07:06All right, all right, all right.
07:06I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
07:07Did you, do you want to hang and carry that up to you?
07:09No, no, I can do it myself.
07:23Phil, don't look at me like that.
07:41Hi.
07:47Oh, morning.
07:48Morning, Linda.
07:50I just came to check that everything is still okay for Patrick's party tomorrow.
07:53Do not worry, everything is under control.
07:56It's going to be magnificent.
07:58Look, I know I haven't been pulling my weight recently,
08:00but I'm back now, firing on all cylinders.
08:03The party is going to be a tour de force.
08:05A surprise party?
08:07Secret?
08:08Of course.
08:10Thank you, ladies.
08:13Oh.
08:14Jean.
08:17Jean.
08:18What, are you okay?
08:19Yeah, I'm absolutely fine.
08:22A little bit tired, maybe,
08:24because I was up before the crack of dawn on an agency clean,
08:27but, um, yeah.
08:29I was going to ask you if you could help me again today,
08:32but you're probably too tired.
08:34No, I'd love to.
08:35Not that I'm, um, shorter things to do, you understand,
08:39but, um, no, I'd love to help.
08:40Well, I am going to pack Patrick over here with his crosswords,
08:45and, um, I need somebody to make sure that he stays here
08:48until I finish making his birthday cake.
08:50He could do that for me.
08:51Yeah, I'd love to.
08:54See you.
09:00She's done with a sign in the place on the ice cream.
09:02Oh, I know, I ain't got time.
09:03I said I'd make money in ten minutes
09:04going with Panesar accounts.
09:06To be honest with you,
09:07I think my bunkies is stretching the budget.
09:10I also ain't getting enough hours at the timber yard,
09:12and I've got your sister breathing down my net to pay her back.
09:14Well, she wouldn't be pestering you
09:15if you'd paid up on time.
09:16You all right?
09:20What do you want?
09:22Nothing.
09:23It's about Barney.
09:28We've got this tradition round our gaff.
09:31Half Christmas.
09:32It's like the second Christmas halfway through the year.
09:34To be honest, it's kind of embarrassing,
09:36but I was wondering if you wanted to come.
09:40Me?
09:42What come round yours after what you did?
09:43You having a laugh?
09:44It's not my idea, mate.
09:46It's Barney's.
09:48Yeah, now he's had time to think everything through.
09:50He's got it in his head that he wants to get to know you more.
09:54To be honest, I think I talked him out of it,
09:56so he probably won't say nothing to you.
09:58But it's what he wants.
10:03Look, I wish none of this ever happened, yeah?
10:06But it has.
10:08So now,
10:09we've all just got to do what's best for Barney.
10:11Anyway, the invitation's there if you want it.
10:19I wonder if his mum and dad are across that invitation.
10:23Well, I don't care.
10:25Barney wants me there.
10:27As far as I'm concerned,
10:28that's the only invitation that counts, isn't it?
10:29Well, I'll get you a drink.
10:39Let me.
10:40What would you like, Jane?
10:41Lime and soda.
10:43Sure, thanks.
10:44It's probably best if you go, you know, keep things civilised.
10:48Yeah, well, we tried that yesterday, didn't we?
10:50Lime and soda, large rum and a pint, please.
10:59That meant to intimidate me.
11:01I'm just getting around here.
11:02Mum, please.
11:04You're barred from here.
11:06You know you are.
11:07Here we go again.
11:08You can't bar me from your own pub.
11:11It's not your pub anymore.
11:14It's mine.
11:15Well, my brief says differently.
11:16She told me that I have a legal claim to the place,
11:20so you can get my round in,
11:22or I can come round and have a side and serve myself.
11:24Linda.
11:25Well, he seems calm now.
11:48Yeah, but that's the way it goes with him.
11:49You know, he gets stressed, I back off,
11:51he watches the film, half an hour, he's all right again.
11:54So he's found a way to deal with his stress.
11:56What about you?
11:58If you ask me, you need a break.
11:59Why don't you just get someone in?
12:01No, no, he wouldn't like that.
12:03Well, send him away a couple of times a week, then.
12:06What's it called?
12:07Respite care?
12:08No, no, no.
12:10Thanks, but he ain't going anywhere.
12:13Problem?
12:15Oh, it's George saying thanks.
12:17He's getting told up for his divorce.
12:20He's, well, I gave him Richie's phone number this morning.
12:23Don't seem too happy about it.
12:25Yeah, well, I think Richie is.
12:27You know, she wants everything to be a fight.
12:29Sometimes you want that, sometimes you don't.
12:30I don't remember her being that bad when we got divorced.
12:33Well, that's because I kept her on a tight leash.
12:36Let's just say, my heart weren't in it.
12:38Who wants to watch the wicker man?
12:43Pagan atrocities in the Outer Hebrides, anyone?
12:46No, I'd better get going.
12:48There'll be pagan atrocities across the road.
12:50Right, uh, you'll come back later, though, won't you?
12:53You know, for dinner, maybe?
12:54Oh, well, um, Lexi's coming around, so...
12:58Well, isn't that?
12:59Reminds me I've got to get some food in.
13:01Oh, no need.
13:02Julie can rustle up my feast out of nothing.
13:06Yeah, sorry, I'll forget.
13:08I forget sometimes.
13:11And sometimes, it's like it was only yesterday.
13:15A shock of it.
13:17Hearing that Julie had died,
13:20me and Grant going to pick up Claire from school
13:23and taking her to the park, sitting her down on the bench.
13:25It's all just like it was yesterday.
13:28Nigel, that wasn't Julie.
13:30That was Debbie.
13:31Julie's still alive, remember?
13:36Yeah, yeah.
13:37Yeah, you're right, yeah, of course.
13:41Right, I'll come back later with some food, yeah?
13:43I always cook too much.
13:45And Alfie's not here, so I'll have loads left over,
13:47so, um, you might as well have him.
13:49See you a bit later.
13:50Yeah, yeah.
13:51See you later.
13:52You know no one eats them, right?
14:06That's not the point.
14:07It's the family tradition.
14:09We ain't family.
14:10A girl can have dreams at Christmas, can't she?
14:13This June.
14:15And it's a sham.
14:17And it don't mean nothing.
14:19Try telling that to Barney.
14:22Like all of this,
14:24it's for him.
14:25Because putting a smile on that boy's face
14:27is all I care about right now.
14:29Well, perhaps it is a bit bare.
14:35Even for half Christmas.
14:38Yeah, well...
14:40Santa's a little helper I went walkabout, didn't he?
14:42Listen, this colleague of yours
14:58that looked over the post now,
15:00you rate him, yeah?
15:02Of course, why?
15:03I just want to make sure everything's watertight.
15:06Yeah, it's as watertight as things like this can be.
15:09Well, I mean, occasionally,
15:10the court determines there's grounds for a return,
15:12and please, where are you?
15:13Well, call him, please.
15:15I want it double-checked.
15:17There, let me see now.
15:19There's 12 across, huh?
15:21Sussex resort.
15:23Two words.
15:24Last word beginning with R.
15:27Regis.
15:28Impressive.
15:29Bognor Regis.
15:31We went paddleboarding near there
15:33with the Wendy's.
15:35Harvey got attacked by an otter.
15:42Are you all right?
15:43Yeah, yeah.
15:44Oh, no, no, no.
15:49I'm just nipping to the loo.
15:53Right, so, the cake's out the oven, right?
15:57Is that a code for something?
15:59No, no, no, no.
16:00The cake is, like, literally out of the oven.
16:03Now, you and Andy,
16:04she wants you to take him home now
16:06so that we can bring some of the decorations over here.
16:08How?
16:09Well, I don't know.
16:10Don't you tell him you want him to show you his overproof,
16:14or something, I don't know.
16:22Patrick, this might sound ever so strange,
16:26but, um, I've always wanted to see your overproof.
16:30Si.
16:32Surely you mean tis.
16:35George.
16:36See you in a bit.
16:42What you said to Mum about, um,
16:45you know, having the right to be here...
16:47I just ought to be grand.
16:49She's been bossing now.
16:50I can't have that.
16:50Yeah, I understand.
16:52Believe me, she's been unbearable.
16:54But I am asking you, please,
16:56not to make life harder,
16:57just to prove a point.
17:01Yeah.
17:02Well, look after yourself
17:06and those lovely kids of yours.
17:10See you later.
17:20So,
17:21what and what they got you doing, then?
17:23I've got to write a story
17:24based on something
17:26that happened in my life.
17:28I don't know what to write about.
17:29Well, Nigel's always good at that.
17:32He was always a creative one.
17:35Lex needs, uh,
17:36to write a story about her life.
17:37Now we're at, could you?
17:38Yeah, yeah, marvellous.
17:40Nice one.
17:40So, um,
17:41what do you want to write about her?
17:45Well,
17:45she says we should think about
17:48entertaining the reader,
17:49but
17:49I think it's something that happens to me, so...
17:52Well,
17:53something must have happened.
17:56Well, my dad's in prison in America.
17:58I suppose some people
17:59might think that was exciting.
18:02Hmm.
18:03What about your mum?
18:05She died,
18:06but
18:07you knew that, didn't you?
18:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:10Of course.
18:13Um,
18:14I think
18:15what your teachers
18:17want you to do
18:19is write something truthful,
18:21something that matters to you,
18:22so, um,
18:24why don't you write about your mum?
18:26I-I-I know
18:28that would be
18:28definitely something
18:29I'd be honoured
18:30to read.
18:35Oh.
18:36Sorry.
18:38Hey, man,
18:39I've got to ask you
18:40to be my crossword
18:41partner more often.
18:43No.
18:44Oh, that's your over-proof,
18:48I see.
18:49Well, it must be very special
18:51if you have to keep it
18:52under lock and key.
18:53Oh, well, if I didn't,
18:55Kim would turn this liquid gold
18:58into
18:58banana cocktail
19:00or something foolish.
19:01I'm surprised that you
19:04are interested
19:05in my, um,
19:07rum collection.
19:07I would say
19:08you're more of a
19:09white wine kind of girl.
19:11I-I am, really,
19:12if I do drink,
19:13I'm not supposed to,
19:14but, um,
19:14I've always open
19:15to new experiences
19:16and I've always wanted
19:17to taste just a little bit.
19:18Well, you see,
19:19I brought this back
19:20from Trinidad
19:20in 2003,
19:23and that was the same trip
19:25that I met you, Landy.
19:27Yeah, so one
19:28love of my life
19:30reminds me of the other.
19:32Aw, how romantic.
19:34Mm-hmm.
19:35Did you always know
19:36you were meant to be together?
19:37Oh, yeah, man.
19:39It took us a while, though.
19:41You know, she comes,
19:41she goes.
19:44The part is never straight,
19:45but we got here in the end.
19:47Yeah.
19:49Hey.
19:53Oh!
19:53Oh, wow, there.
19:57Mm-hmm.
19:58I don't think Harvey
19:59and I will ever
20:00get back together.
20:03Can't even rely on family.
20:05But her family's tight, right?
20:07Well, you'd have thought so,
20:08wouldn't you?
20:09Um, but sometimes I wonder
20:11if I know any of them at all.
20:12I mean, take Kat, for example.
20:13Some of the things she says to me,
20:15I wonder if I ever known her at all.
20:17Well, it seems to me
20:18that you and Kat
20:19should sit down
20:20and have a talk, you know,
20:21with your own rum.
20:24So, go on.
20:27Talk to her.
20:28Oh, no, I can't go now.
20:31Don't worry.
20:32I'm not going anyplace
20:33that I'm not supposed to be.
20:36Listen, now, man.
20:37Half a dozen people have asked me
20:39what time is my party tomorrow.
20:41Oh.
20:41Mm-hmm.
20:42It's supposed to be a surprise.
20:45Don't worry.
20:46I've got a surprise.
20:47So, go on.
20:50Have a talk.
20:52Mm?
20:55My biggest worry
20:56is that I'll forget her.
20:57So, sometimes,
20:58I get my dad, Jay,
21:00to play some of the videos
21:01of her on his phone.
21:03And when I see her,
21:04it's like she never left.
21:05Do you want me to stop?
21:10No.
21:12No, I love it.
21:13It's, um...
21:14It's a wonderful tribute
21:16to your mum.
21:16It's just that, um...
21:19I get scared
21:21that I'll forget people, too.
21:23I recognise Mrs. Cotton
21:29cos she used to live round here.
21:31Yeah, they all did.
21:32Well, you...
21:33You recognise your, um...
21:35Your great-uncle Grant,
21:36of course.
21:37You met him.
21:38He looks a bit like Grandad,
21:39but I like Grandad more.
21:41Well, your Grandad's
21:42a very special man.
21:43I don't know what I'd do without him.
21:47Who's that?
21:47It's my daughter, Claire.
21:50And is that her mum?
21:52Yeah.
21:53Who's that?
21:59That is Julie.
22:03Who's that?
22:04It's Debbie.
22:07She's so pretty.
22:10Were you married?
22:11Yeah.
22:16But...
22:16You're still married to Julie?
22:20Yeah.
22:21If you're still married,
22:25why aren't you with her?
22:30Because I was worried.
22:32I didn't want her to feel...
22:36I didn't mean to make you upset.
22:41No, you didn't.
22:42You don't...
22:43It's just, um...
22:44I get worried that I'll forget things,
22:49but, um...
22:49Maybe it'd be better if they were forgotten.
22:54Tommy let me in.
23:02Do you want a drink?
23:04No.
23:05I've had plenty.
23:08Listen, Jean, what I said to you this morning...
23:10It's all right.
23:11There's no need to apologise.
23:12Guys, I should never have accused you of being with Phil.
23:15No, but you're right.
23:17I'm sorry I've hurt you.
23:21Smells good.
23:23Yeah, it's for Phil and Nigel.
23:25Phil's struggling right now,
23:26and if he don't get any help, he's gonna sink, so...
23:29Oh, thanks.
23:36Nigel!
23:39Are you okay?
23:53Come and sit down
23:59There's something I have to tell you
24:05And I don't know how to do it
24:08It's okay
24:10Just so
24:12It's been a terrible accident
24:17And your mum's dead
24:19I'm sorry
24:20I'm so sorry
24:22Nigel, what do you think you're doing?
24:25I have to tell her
24:26What, her mum's dead, do you think she don't know?
24:31Claire
24:31This ain't Claire, alright
24:34This happened before we vote, remember?
24:37Debbie's dead
24:38Yeah, Debbie died 30 years ago, mate
24:40We've been talking about it for the last three days
24:42Let's just get inside, let's get inside
24:44I'm so sorry
24:45You alright, Lex?
24:50He's just sad, Brendan
24:52Yesterday you said that looking after Nigel is saving you
25:02And I believe you
25:04I don't think he's saving you
25:06He's killing you
25:08And you need help
25:09I made Nigel, I promise, alright
25:12I'm just gonna fob him off on some stranger
25:14You don't have to be a stranger
25:15Listen, Nigel's clear, alright
25:19He don't want Julie drawn into this
25:21And anyway, he'd never agree to be
25:23Well then we don't ask him
25:24He'll be on that now
25:26Just call her, Phil
25:27I'm scared
25:30I'm scared for you
25:31Because you're too pig-headed to ask for help
25:33And six months down the line
25:35You could be back in that mental health unit
25:37Or worse
25:40Yeah
25:49Got it
25:50Thanks
25:53Well, better give the neighbours something to talk about
25:59Yeah
26:00We could give them something else to talk about too
26:03You and me
26:05Half Christmas Eve
26:06Boys were in bed
26:07Do you remember?
26:08Don't, Nick
26:09Don't what?
26:10You know what?
26:12Oh, you haven't gone all shy, have you?
26:14My naughty little elf
26:15You really think I'd go back there after what you've done?
26:19I only put up with you because of them boys
26:21So let's make this very clear
26:24I think you're a nasty, toxic mess of a person, Nick
26:30The most selfish, manipulative human I've ever had the misfortune of meeting
26:35Let alone marry
26:36How can you say that to me?
26:38I am the mother of your children
26:40Yes, you are
26:42And God help them
26:43And they're the only reason I tolerate you
26:45But make no mistake
26:47I despise you
26:49I hate the very bones in your body
26:53And even to look at you now makes me feel sick
26:56Stop this, Nick
27:01Stop it
27:01Stop it, Nick
27:03Stop it, Nick
27:03Stop it, Nick
27:04Run
