00:01:00Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
00:01:04Simply having a wonderful Christmas time
00:01:10The choir of children sing their song
00:01:15They practiced all year long
00:01:20Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong
00:01:25Simon, hey
00:01:28David, I just heard from Alan Fairlord
00:01:31He's reviewed your proposal for his new building
00:01:34I need you to come back to the office
00:01:35As soon as you can
00:01:36Um, I'm actually
00:01:37Wait, is there a problem with my designs?
00:01:40I'd rather discuss it over the phone, David
00:01:42Okay, I can be there in 30 minutes
00:01:45I'd suggest you make up 20
00:01:46I am so sorry, excuse me
00:02:06No, please, it's my fault
00:02:07I'm still getting used to driving on the other side of the road
00:02:10Gift card
00:02:13Very creative
00:02:15Uh, yeah
00:02:17No, I
00:02:18Turns out it's quite hard to find the perfect Christmas present
00:02:21And yet everybody keeps trying
00:02:23Happy Christmas
00:02:25Taxi
00:02:41Taxi
00:02:42There we go, darling
00:02:44Taxi
00:02:47Taxi
00:02:47Oh, hey
00:03:07Sorry
00:03:12Oh!
00:03:15Hi!
00:03:16Hi.
00:03:19Sorry.
00:03:22Well, they do say London is a small town.
00:03:25I love these buses. I'm almost never on them. My car's in for repairs. Something about the brakes. Something. The brake line? I think it's the brake line.
00:03:50Sorry, I really need to... I'm so sorry. I don't mean to bother you.
00:03:58So, what brings you to London?
00:04:01I'm an architect at Fitzsimmons Associates. I moved here from New York about six months ago.
00:04:08Okay. It's a long way to come for work.
00:04:11Well, they made me a very good offer. Well, to be honest, I was actually spinning my wheels in New York anyway.
00:04:17And now?
00:04:18Well, things are looking up. Had a brand new project at work. New girlfriend. We're actually spending our first Christmas together this year.
00:04:25Hmm.
00:04:27Well, this city practically invented Christmas, so I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
00:04:32Yeah. Looks like you will, too.
00:04:35Oh. No, these aren't mine. They're for work. I'm a personal shopper.
00:04:40Oh, right.
00:04:41What is so funny?
00:04:44Oh, uh, no, I just, uh, never really met one before.
00:04:50I'm not surprised. If you had, you wouldn't be buying things like that.
00:04:54What do you have against gift cards?
00:04:56They're perfectly reasonable, but, uh, they're kind of like giving up, aren't they?
00:05:01Uh, no. That's not exactly how I see it.
00:05:05In my business, I don't give up until I find the perfect gift.
00:05:08Well, with all respect to your talent, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a perfect gift.
00:05:15And if there is, I don't have time to find it, so, you know, for now, I'm gonna take my chances with the gift card.
00:05:37Okay, so, uh, this is my stop.
00:05:40Oh. Here, here, let me help you.
00:05:44Oh, I got it. Thank you.
00:05:45That's okay. I got it.
00:05:46Thank you.
00:05:50Thank you.
00:05:51Right.
00:05:52Listen, about what I said before. You know about the gift card thing?
00:05:55It's actually a really nice Christmas gift.
00:05:59Well, thank you. Let's just hope that Charlotte thinks so.
00:06:03Uh, Charlotte your girlfriend.
00:06:05Why?
00:06:06So you're giving a gift card to your new girlfriend for Christmas?
00:06:10Uh-huh.
00:06:11Huh.
00:06:12Well.
00:06:14Happy Christmas!
00:06:15Oh, I know what you're doing.
00:06:16Oh, uh, you do?
00:06:18Oh, yeah. You're trying to get me to second guess what I got my girlfriend for Christmas,
00:06:21and trying to make me think that I need to hire you to buy her the perfect gift.
00:06:25Oh, is that her?
00:06:27Mm-hmm. And, uh, while I appreciate the effort, I can assure you I don't need any help.
00:06:33See, Charlotte and I, uh, we decided to keep holiday celebrations simple.
00:06:38You know, without the ugly sweaters and the sugary cookies and the fa-la-las.
00:06:44No fa-la-las. Got it.
00:06:46So I'm just gonna wish you a very Merry Christmas.
00:06:49Thank you. And a Happy Christmas to you.
00:06:52And all the best for New Year's.
00:06:55The same.
00:06:56And goodbye.
00:06:57Goodbye.
00:06:58It's a perfectly good gift.
00:07:03David. Finally.
00:07:05My bad. I couldn't get a cab, so...
00:07:06We need to talk.
00:07:07Uh, yes. You said it was about my Fairlawn designs. Uh, is there a problem?
00:07:10No, no, no. Fairlawn likes it.
00:07:12Oh. Oh. Well, that's a good gift.
00:07:14It's a good gift.
00:07:15It's a good gift.
00:07:20David. Finally.
00:07:21My bad. I couldn't get a cab, so...
00:07:23We need to talk.
00:07:24Uh, yes. You said it was about my Fairlawn designs. Uh, is there a problem?
00:07:26No, no, no. Fairlawn likes it.
00:07:28Oh. Oh. Well, that's great.
00:07:29Yes, it is. But it's also your first London project.
00:07:32And there's still one little hurdle we have to clear.
00:07:35Hurdle? Uh, what hurdle?
00:07:38Alan Fairlawn is reviewing proposals from two other design firms.
00:07:42Ah.
00:07:43Hmm.
00:07:45And, uh, well, he wants to meet with the key architects in person.
00:07:48So, I've, uh, scheduled a meeting for you.
00:07:50Yes, you said it was about my Fairlawn designs.
00:07:52Uh, is there a problem?
00:07:53No, no, no. Fairlawn likes it.
00:07:54I've, uh, I've scheduled a meeting for you with him at his office in Chelsea tomorrow at 4.30.
00:07:59Tomorrow?
00:08:00Yes, yes, I know it's almost Christmas.
00:08:02But he's planning to award the contract before he heads to the Canaries for the holidays.
00:08:06Oh.
00:08:07I hope there won't be a problem.
00:08:09No. Of course not. Simon. Whatever it takes.
00:08:12See, that's one of the things that impressed me most about you when I met you in New York.
00:08:17Huh.
00:08:19That you have talent speaks for itself.
00:08:22There are plenty of good architects.
00:08:25No, what I liked about you is...
00:08:28You're ambitious.
00:08:31You have drive.
00:08:33Not afraid to push yourself to get the job done.
00:08:36It's also one of the reasons I'm so pleased about you and my girl, Charlotte.
00:08:41Well, dating the boss's daughter is never easy but you two.
00:08:44Yeah.
00:08:45And you seem to be doing it right.
00:08:47Well, we're a great team.
00:08:49And, well, with her, it is easy.
00:08:51We have so much in common.
00:08:52We love architecture.
00:08:53We love this city.
00:08:54Yes, that's marvellous, David.
00:08:56Now, I can't impress upon you how important this meeting is.
00:09:00Fairlawn is one of the biggest developers in this city.
00:09:03I've been trying to crack that knot for years.
00:09:06So, well, you won't just be selling yourself.
00:09:09You'll be selling our company, too.
00:09:11I'll give it my best shot.
00:09:13I hope you do more than that, David. I'm counting on you.
00:09:16I'll tell you.
00:09:17Ahem.
00:09:18Sir.
00:09:19Don't let me down.
00:09:35Yes, ma'am. It's just arrived. It's beautiful. Thank you.
00:09:38Oh, good. I was worried.
00:09:40The delivery man apparently couldn't find an Anjali Patel anywhere.
00:09:44Who is this, Angie? I don't recognise that name.
00:09:47Yeah, ma'am, but just please no more, all right?
00:09:50Between the tree and the garden and the weeks that you sent me last week,
00:09:53I think we have got Christmas sorted.
00:09:55You know how I worry, dear. How's work?
00:09:58It is great, except everyone has left their orders
00:10:00on to the last minute this Christmas.
00:10:02Well, you won't have to worry about that much longer.
00:10:04Dad'll be retiring in a couple of years,
00:10:06and then you'll be taking over.
00:10:09Um, I've got to go, ma'am.
00:10:11Oh, ma'am.
00:10:12The Hungry Manchester's been with your father's family for years.
00:10:14Now we've talked about this.
00:10:15You've actually talked about it, ma'am.
00:10:17Good. So it's settled.
00:10:19Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells all the way.
00:10:22Okay, ma'am. I'll call you guys, okay? I love you, bye.
00:10:24Jingle bells, ooh. Jingle bells, ahh.
00:10:28Okay, somebody's in a good mood.
00:10:30You know that caterwaiter gig
00:10:31that I have at the landmark hotel tomorrow night?
00:10:32Oh, yeah, the Charles Dickens party.
00:10:34Well, I just found out that Dennis Crawford,
00:10:35one of the biggest casting directors in the city,
00:10:38is gonna be there.
00:10:39And I get to play Miss Crotchet right in front of him.
00:10:42Wait, I thought that was like a black tie event thing.
00:10:45Oh, no, no, that's just for the guests.
00:10:46The rest of us get to dress up like we're in a Christmas girl.
00:10:49Well, wow!
00:10:51Well, I know it's no Noel Coward,
00:10:53but at least I get to audition and serve crab cakes.
00:10:56What about you? What are you doing tonight?
00:10:59Well, I'm just finishing up the last of those Christmas presents
00:11:01and then I'm gonna get right back to work on my book.
00:11:05I've only got one chapter left.
00:11:07Oh. I thought you only had one chapter left last month.
00:11:09Yeah, so don't rub it in.
00:11:12Why don't you take a break, you know? Live a little.
00:11:15You might meet somebody.
00:11:17Because this is my busiest season
00:11:19and I am not interested in meeting anyone during Christmas.
00:11:23Well, a gift whisperer has to have a life, do you know?
00:11:25Oh, I don't have time for a life because I have a brand to build.
00:11:28And besides, if I do not sort out these packages,
00:11:31someone is not going to get their lovely little Prezi from Carter.
00:11:35Ooh!
00:11:37A gift card?
00:11:38Not your most inspired gift, Ange.
00:11:40This is supposed to be an engraved pattern necklace.
00:11:43Oh.
00:11:44Or maybe they can trade it in on Boxing Day.
00:11:49Oh, no.
00:11:50No.
00:12:00Ooh, hey.
00:12:01Hope I'm not disturbing the genius at work.
00:12:03Disturb away.
00:12:04Daddy said you'd probably be busy, but I thought...
00:12:07Uh-huh.
00:12:08...that you wouldn't mind since it's such a special day.
00:12:11It's always a special day when I get to see you.
00:12:15David.
00:12:16You don't remember, do you?
00:12:20For the man who has his whole life planned down to the minute,
00:12:22I can't believe you've forgotten.
00:12:24It's our three-month anniversary.
00:12:27Oh, I knew that.
00:12:28Did you?
00:12:29No, I was just testing you.
00:12:32Well, we should celebrate.
00:12:33I'm taking Mommy out for lunch.
00:12:34You should join us.
00:12:35I can't.
00:12:37Honestly, I've...
00:12:38I got a lot on my plate today.
00:12:40Right now, I'm juggling proposals.
00:12:42I have a big meeting.
00:12:43Now, today.
00:12:45It's always about work with you, isn't it?
00:12:49Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve.
00:12:50Are you sure that you can't take just a little bit of time away?
00:12:55Sure, I'd love to.
00:12:56I really would, but I gotta focus.
00:12:58Remember, I'm still new here.
00:12:59I'm trying to fit in.
00:13:00Well, Daddy certainly thinks you fit in very well.
00:13:02Well, he has to say that I'm dating his daughter.
00:13:09I'd rather hoped that we were doing a little bit more than just dating.
00:13:13I was kidding.
00:13:14Were you?
00:13:15Mm-hmm.
00:13:16Because I thought that we needed to talk about taking our next step.
00:13:19Our next step?
00:13:21In our relationship, which I'm assuming you think that we have a future together.
00:13:26Sure.
00:13:27Of course we have a future together.
00:13:29I mean, it's already been three months.
00:13:32Mm-hmm.
00:13:34The greatest thing about Christmas is you can eat your whole body weight and sugar and nobody blinks at you twice.
00:13:42Am I interrupting or something?
00:13:43No, Callum.
00:13:45I was just leaving.
00:13:48Oh, let me get this.
00:13:50Thank you, Callum.
00:13:52Char, please.
00:13:53Her mummy's waiting.
00:13:54She's left all of her holiday shopping to the last minute and she says she can't do it without me.
00:13:59Oh, no.
00:14:00Hmm.
00:14:02David.
00:14:04Do you promise that you're gonna be there on Christmas Eve?
00:14:07The whole family are gonna be there tomorrow night and they said that they can't wait to meet you.
00:14:11Finally.
00:14:12Promise I'll be there.
00:14:13Okay.
00:14:14So, I need you to look over these specs for the waterfront project before I submit them.
00:14:21Yeah, just, just, uh, put them on the pile there.
00:14:25Mm-hmm.
00:14:26With the others.
00:14:27Oh, sorry.
00:14:29Oh, come on.
00:14:31Really?
00:14:33Sorry.
00:14:35Mm-hmm.
00:14:38What?
00:14:39David, as your only friend, do you mind if I give you a little bit of advice?
00:14:42Have I ever been able to stop you?
00:14:43No.
00:14:44So, this is your first Christmas with your girlfriend's family, which also happens to be your boss's family.
00:14:49They're gonna judge you.
00:14:50Mm-hmm.
00:14:51Every single one of them, right down from your table manners to the gift you give Charlotte.
00:14:55No, see, Charlotte and I have already discussed this, and we have decided not to make a big thing out of the Christmas holidays.
00:15:01Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what she says, but trust me, this kind of thing can make or break a relationship.
00:15:06And, for you, a career.
00:15:13Well, how long have you been with your husband?
00:15:16Oh, 400 years. Why?
00:15:18What are you getting him for Christmas?
00:15:20A ski trip to Castada. Ethan's always wanted to go.
00:15:24Oh, that actually does sound like the perfect gift.
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:27Well, I learnt my lesson the hard way.
00:15:29See, the first year we were together, I really messed up with his Christmas present.
00:15:33He didn't speak to me until Valentine's Day.
00:15:35What did you get him?
00:15:37Gift card.
00:15:42It was terrible.
00:15:43Oh, no.
00:16:02I can tell you that he has dark hair, and he is about this tall.
00:16:06I'm sorry, unless you have a name.
00:16:08I can't let you go back there.
00:16:09Excuse me.
00:16:12Fitzsimmons associate, tell me the director to call.
00:16:16Oh, wait!
00:16:17Excuse me!
00:16:18Miss!
00:16:19Wait!
00:16:20You can't go back there!
00:16:21No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:16:22She was shopping there yesterday afternoon.
00:16:32Hi!
00:16:33Hi, so sorry, so sorry.
00:16:35Back to work.
00:16:36Oh, she had a big, she had a big teddy bear.
00:16:38Hey!
00:16:39Hey!
00:16:41You got my...
00:16:42You got my...
00:16:48It's often an expensive item to replace, you see.
00:16:51I'm sure it is.
00:16:52Um, how did you find me?
00:16:54I pay attention to details.
00:16:56It's part of my job.
00:16:57Well, lucky for me, you're good at it.
00:16:59Thank you.
00:17:01Yeah, uh, I don't even know your name.
00:17:05David.
00:17:06David Burnside.
00:17:08Angie.
00:17:09Andrew Patel.
00:17:10If you're my friend, and if you're my mother, it's Anjali.
00:17:13Guess I'd better stick to Angie, then.
00:17:17Thank you.
00:17:18Again.
00:17:20And happy Christmas.
00:17:21Again.
00:17:25And the same to you.
00:17:26Again.
00:17:32Um.
00:17:34I found him.
00:17:36Wait, uh, uh, Miss Patel?
00:17:38Um.
00:17:39Angie.
00:17:40Yeah.
00:17:41How does your service work exactly?
00:17:44Would I pay you and you go shop for me?
00:17:47Thought you had your Christmas all planned.
00:17:49I did.
00:17:50I mean...
00:17:51I mean, I do.
00:17:52But...
00:17:53You change your mind about the gift cards.
00:17:55No.
00:17:56Not exactly.
00:17:57No.
00:17:58It's just I'm new to the city and, well, I want to keep my shopping options open.
00:18:02Oh.
00:18:03So in other words, you change your mind about the gift cards.
00:18:06Sorry.
00:18:07I have taken all the last minute orders I can handle this Christmas.
00:18:12Whatever you charge, I'll pay double.
00:18:14who is.
00:18:19I have taken a number with her.
00:18:20I need to find the perfect gift.
00:18:23Das ist eine perfekte GIFT.
00:18:31Wie haben wir uns?
00:18:33Es war in der Office.
00:18:35Charlotte hat mich zu einem Charity Event in der Museum of Architecture.
00:18:38Milch?
00:18:39Oh, danke.
00:18:42Charlotte ist auf die Kommitee,
00:18:44um die Programme zu unterstützen,
00:18:46um die Kinder zu interessieren, in die Reise in Design.
00:18:49Das ist sehr interessant.
00:18:51Oh, das ist sharp.
00:18:53Always versuchen, die Welt zu machen.
00:18:55Sie ist eine wunderbare Person.
00:18:57Oh, sie ist.
00:18:58Keine Frage.
00:19:01Ich habe sie gesehen,
00:19:03an der Charity Event.
00:19:04Oh, danke.
00:19:05Mit dieser Elegant Figur,
00:19:08in der Fotografie von der Battersea Power Station.
00:19:11Wir haben alle Nacht über die Art Deco Zeit,
00:19:15und warum es angefangen hat,
00:19:17und warum es Ende ist.
00:19:19Und dann haben wir uns für ein Koffer.
00:19:22Und dann haben wir uns auf ein Date.
00:19:24Und dann eine andere Date.
00:19:26Und dann ist es dann drei Monate.
00:19:29Sie sagen, wenn Sie wissen, Sie wissen, richtig?
00:19:31Absolut, richtig.
00:19:33Okay, nächste Frage.
00:19:35Was ist Charlotte's favorite Film?
00:19:37Her favorite Film?
00:19:39Was?
00:19:41Uh...
00:19:43Was wäre es Drama?
00:19:44Oder Comedy?
00:19:45Oder Mystery?
00:19:46Oder...
00:19:49Ich weiß nicht.
00:19:50Okay, wir können zurückkommen zu dieser Frage.
00:19:52Was ist das erste Preis, Sie haben immer gewonnen?
00:19:55Was bedeutet das erste Preis, Sie haben immer gewonnen?
00:19:56Was bedeutet das Preis?
00:19:57Ich weiß nicht.
00:19:58Wie ein Sport Trophy?
00:19:59Ja, oder ein Spelling Bee.
00:20:01Oder so.
00:20:02Ich weiß nicht.
00:20:03Ich weiß nicht.
00:20:04Okay, wir können zurückkommen zu dieser Frage.
00:20:06Wie ist das erste Art in der einzigen Art?
00:20:09Die erste Buch?
00:20:10Die letzte Buch?
00:20:12Die go-toe Karate-Sang Mitform.
00:20:14Look, quats em eine überhaupt gotta?
00:20:16Wie ist das haar ganz neu?
00:20:17Sie nur...
00:20:18Sie kaufen sie ein Weihnachten.
00:20:20Okay, ich glaube, ich denke, Sie verstehen nicht komplett völlig was ich.
00:20:24Ich meine, es ist nicht wie ich aufgebend bin.
00:20:26Alle fahren, Leute zu unserem Sainsburyischen und zuschengenzen.
00:20:28Nein, ich habe nicht zu...
00:20:29Ja, eine sehr gute Idee geht in dieser Prozess.
00:20:31See, I make personal selections based on a client's profile and then I submit options. That is how this works.
00:20:38Sure. Sorry. Got it.
00:20:43How about her birthday?
00:20:47March 10th.
00:20:5112th.
00:20:55You didn't give me much to go on here, David, but maybe when we get to our first stop, something will jump out at us.
00:21:03Wait, what do you mean, our first stop? You want me to come with you?
00:21:07Well, to get this done in time, I think I'm going to have to, David.
00:21:10But I thought the whole idea about a personal shopper was that I pay you and you go shop for me.
00:21:16Yes, that is normally how this works, but in this case, by the time we get to the shops, I make my selections,
00:21:21text you photographs of them for you to choose from. We'll just see if you actually like any of them and it'll probably be Boxing Day.
00:21:27Yeah, you see, the thing is, I can't take the rest of the day off. I've got a very important meeting that I need to make, so.
00:21:34Well, you do take lunch, don't you?
00:21:36Typically? No.
00:21:38Well, today you do.
00:21:40Huh.
00:21:45Callum.
00:21:46Personal shopper?
00:21:47Yeah, it's a long story.
00:21:48And now I'm going Christmas shopping.
00:21:50Aren't you supposed to be meeting Alan Felon today?
00:21:53Yeah, that's at 4.30. I'll be done plenty of time for that.
00:21:56This is about Charlotte's Christmas gift, isn't it?
00:21:59Yeah, yeah, let's just keep that between us, shall we? If anyone asks, I'll be back right after lunch.
00:22:03David, you're finally listening to my advice. It's a Christmas miracle!
00:22:07Goodbye, Callum.
00:22:09David?
00:22:11Okay, so, I'm in.
00:22:13Good.
00:22:14Bought us a couple of hours. So, should we get a cab?
00:22:17No, we're in a hurry. With all that hailing and paying and climbing and I'll eat up the whole day.
00:22:22Besides, I got my car back.
00:22:25We should start at Charlotte's favorite store.
00:22:32Her favorite store?
00:22:34Mm-hmm.
00:22:35Great. Another question I can't answer.
00:22:37Don't worry. When you were on the phone, I looked up Charlotte's social media pages.
00:22:42I counted up all her most frequent retail location check-ins and found the store that she spends the most time in.
00:22:46Wow. You really have this down to a science.
00:22:49They don't call me the Gift Whisperer for nothing.
00:22:52Uh-huh. Gift Whisperer. Hm.
00:22:56So how did you become the Gift Whisperer?
00:22:58Started in college.
00:23:00Uh, my roommate couldn't figure out what to get her boyfriend for Christmas.
00:23:03So you helped her?
00:23:05I looked everywhere. I must have gone into a dozen stores.
00:23:09I wanted to find the perfect gift.
00:23:11So what did you get him?
00:23:13He was always late to things. Drived my roommate crazy.
00:23:17So, I bought him a beautiful wristwatch with his name engraved on the back.
00:23:21Did he like it?
00:23:22He must have. We got married the next year.
00:23:25Wow.
00:23:26Anyway, it gave me an idea. And when I got my MBA, I decided to put it to good loose and start my own business.
00:23:33Well, what about you?
00:23:35What about me what?
00:23:36Well, you know, have you ever given a wristwatch to someone special of your own?
00:23:42I never found anyone who wanted to wear one.
00:23:50I think of Gift Giving like a Venn diagram.
00:23:53One circle's for what people need.
00:23:55One circle is for what people want.
00:23:57And the third circle is what people love.
00:23:59And here where they overlap...
00:24:01The perfect gift?
00:24:03No catching on.
00:24:06So...
00:24:07Let's start with what she wants.
00:24:09Uh, well, if I knew that, then I wouldn't have bought her a gift card.
00:24:13Not helpful, David.
00:24:15Come on.
00:24:16She's your girlfriend.
00:24:17Think.
00:24:20She did say that she wanted to travel more.
00:24:24Now we're getting somewhere.
00:24:25This one expands into a full wardrobe.
00:24:29Perfect for the modern traveller.
00:24:32Uh...
00:24:33I don't know.
00:24:34This one has its own GPS system.
00:24:37You'll never lose your luggage again.
00:24:39Clever.
00:24:40Or, check out this little beauty.
00:24:43Stainless steel, light as a feather, and has a built-in espresso machine.
00:24:48Really?
00:24:49No.
00:24:50I was just seeing if you were paying attention.
00:24:53We are just looking.
00:24:54Thank you.
00:24:55Fine.
00:24:56If you need me, I'm in handbags.
00:25:00I'm not feeling this.
00:25:01Let's just move on.
00:25:06Let's move to what Charlotte needs.
00:25:08Oh, that's easy.
00:25:09Nothing.
00:25:10You said she attends charity events.
00:25:12That means she dresses up.
00:25:13And that means she needs jewelry.
00:25:16So, how did you become an architect?
00:25:19Well, I guess it came naturally.
00:25:23Both my parents were structural engineers.
00:25:26They were travelling the world.
00:25:29You know, building bridges, dams, that kind of thing.
00:25:33I'm picturing you in your crib, building skyscrapers.
00:25:36With locks.
00:25:39Something like that.
00:25:41Anyway, my parents retired to the Bahamas.
00:25:45A few years ago.
00:25:47Well, I guess I'm carrying on the family tradition by way of being an architect.
00:25:52Sounds like wonderful work.
00:25:54Yeah.
00:25:55No, it is.
00:25:56I'm usually either designing something, or planning a project, or on a building site.
00:26:02Troubleshooting with construction is pretty much a 24 hour a day job.
00:26:07Hmm.
00:26:08Do you get time to have a life?
00:26:09Not really.
00:26:10But I always thought the whole having a life thing was overrated.
00:26:17March birthstone.
00:26:18Aquamarine.
00:26:19The setting is platinum.
00:26:21As is the chain.
00:26:22Hmm.
00:26:23Beautiful.
00:26:24What do you think?
00:26:25Oh, it's very nice.
00:26:27Nice?
00:26:28Yeah.
00:26:29Necklaces.
00:26:30Seems kind of personal.
00:26:31I'll let you two discuss it amongst yourselves.
00:26:32Excuse me.
00:26:33Thank you.
00:26:34It is already personal, David.
00:26:35She's your girlfriend.
00:26:36Yeah, but I mean a necklace.
00:26:37It's...
00:26:38Yeah.
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:40I'm not sure that I'm ready for the jewelry stuff yet, you know?
00:26:56Okay.
00:26:57So, don't take this the wrong way.
00:27:00But maybe you're overthinking this thing just a little bit.
00:27:04Or maybe for someone who calls herself the gift whisperer, you're underthinking them.
00:27:09Then maybe you should just give her the gift card.
00:27:11I'm sure she'll love it.
00:27:13Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:27:15Okay.
00:27:16I didn't mean what I said.
00:27:17Honestly, this is embarrassing.
00:27:20Charlotte and I have been together three months.
00:27:23Why can't I find her a Christmas present?
00:27:26Maybe they do say it can take a lifetime to really get to...
00:27:29What are you doing, David?
00:27:33Shh.
00:27:34Did you just shush me?
00:27:36It's Charlotte.
00:27:40What's she doing here?
00:27:44I mean, it's her favorite store.
00:27:45No, no.
00:27:46She thinks I'm at work.
00:27:47If she finds out that I hired someone to find her a Christmas present, that would not look good.
00:27:53Okay.
00:27:54I think they're gone.
00:27:56Come on, let's get out of here.
00:28:01David.
00:28:03What are you doing here?
00:28:06Oh.
00:28:15Hey.
00:28:16Hi.
00:28:17You must be Charlotte.
00:28:19Hi, I'm Angie.
00:28:20I've heard so much about you.
00:28:22Funny.
00:28:23I haven't had a thing about you.
00:28:25Catherine, how are you?
00:28:27Hello, David.
00:28:28We're still seeing you tomorrow night.
00:28:30I...
00:28:31Wait, I'm sorry.
00:28:32Why are you here?
00:28:34It's my fault.
00:28:36David is doing a project for my company.
00:28:40A building.
00:28:41Mm-hmm.
00:28:42We were on the way to the site, and I needed to drop off here and, you know, pick up a few Christmas things on the way.
00:28:51It was right on the way.
00:28:53Well, I certainly hope you're doing better than we are.
00:28:56We've been parading up and down the high street for hours.
00:29:00I still haven't finished my shopping.
00:29:02It is a challenge to find the right gift for a person, isn't it?
00:29:06For example, Charlotte, what would your idea of the perfect gift be?
00:29:09Oh.
00:29:10I don't know.
00:29:12That's one thing that David and I have in common.
00:29:15We decided that we're not going to make a big fuss out of Christmas this year, are we?
00:29:19No, no, no big fuss.
00:29:21And we decided that just one special gift this year would be sufficient.
00:29:26Yup.
00:29:27One special gift.
00:29:29I love Christmas.
00:29:36I have so many special memories from my childhood.
00:29:39What about you, Charlotte?
00:29:40Do you have any special childhood Christmas memories?
00:29:43Well, I should think she does.
00:29:45She used to make the most horrid fuss if we didn't take her to the Christmas market displays every year.
00:29:51She had to have a hot spice cider and her shortbreads.
00:29:55If we didn't get to Santa's grotto, she was simply unmanageable.
00:29:59Please.
00:30:00Until her birthday.
00:30:01Come around in July.
00:30:02Please stop.
00:30:03July?
00:30:04Well, will you look at the time?
00:30:06Uh, we better go if we're going to make it to the building site.
00:30:09And, uh, Catherine, always a pleasure.
00:30:12Char, I'll call you.
00:30:15Yeah.
00:30:16Nice to meet you both.
00:30:21What a peculiar girl.
00:30:23Oh.
00:30:24Yes.
00:30:25Wasn't she?
00:30:37What's wrong, David?
00:30:39What's wrong?
00:30:40How about you, Charlotte?
00:30:42Do you have any special childhood Christmas memories?
00:30:45Real subtle.
00:30:46What's the big deal?
00:30:48It's not like we're doing anything illegal.
00:30:50Oh, you don't know Charlotte.
00:30:52I'm starting to think that you don't either.
00:30:54You said she was born in March.
00:30:56Okay, so sue me.
00:30:58I was four months off.
00:31:00Pardon me, sir.
00:31:01Store security.
00:31:02I believe you have merchandise you haven't paid for.
00:31:08Oh.
00:31:09Completely forgot.
00:31:10Yeah, of course you did.
00:31:12I'm going to need you to come with me.
00:31:13What?
00:31:14I've had my own you two since you came in.
00:31:16The happy couple at Christmas.
00:31:18The oldest shoplifting trick in the book.
00:31:20Shoplifting?
00:31:21What?
00:31:22Hey!
00:31:23Please don't make a scene, sir.
00:31:24The police have already been notified.
00:31:25No, I think this is a mistake.
00:31:26I didn't...
00:31:27This way, sir.
00:31:28Look!
00:31:29The Queen!
00:31:30David, run!
00:31:31Stop!
00:31:32Get back there right now!
00:31:33Stop!
00:31:34You two!
00:31:35Now that's too strong, cause it's my favourite holiday.
00:31:37But all this year's been a busy blur.
00:31:38Don't think I have the energy to add to my already mad rush.
00:31:42Just because it is the season and the perfect plan for me.
00:31:58It would be completions and connections.
00:32:01Stop!
00:32:02Stop!
00:32:03Wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop.
00:32:05This is crazy.
00:32:06I'm just going to go back there and explain exactly what happened.
00:32:08We don't waste more time, you're not on a schedule.
00:32:10Ich bin noch nicht auf der Schädel.
00:32:11Ich kann ihn nicht tun.
00:32:12Ich bin nur ein Mensch.
00:32:13Ich bin nur ein Mensch.
00:32:14Ich bin nur ein Mensch.
00:32:15Ich bin nur ein Mensch.
00:32:16Ich bin nur ein Mensch.
00:32:17Oh, wirklich?
00:32:18Ja, wirklich.
00:32:19Stop!
00:32:20Okay, ich bin jetzt.
00:32:33Das ist jetzt!
00:32:37Das ist jetzt.
00:32:38Soas Dinosaurant hat.
00:32:40Dann doch gut das Pudding.
00:32:42You tried, you said you keep in touch
00:32:44You didn't fall still in summertime
00:32:46Out to the beach in his pocket
00:32:47I joined him all this time
00:32:49It was me, so burning a fair degree
00:32:52Now the calendar's just one page
00:32:54And of course I am excited
00:32:56Tonight's a night, but I've set my mind
00:32:58That's a dish and let you die
00:33:00Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
00:33:02But I think I'll miss this one this year
00:33:04Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
00:33:06But I think I'll miss this one this year
00:33:12There you go
00:33:30Thanks
00:33:31Okay, I think they're gone
00:33:34See, I told you everything would work out just fine
00:33:36Really, just fine?
00:33:39Uh, you do know that
00:33:40I haven't planned spending my first Christmas in London
00:33:43Running from the police
00:33:44Don't be so dramatic, David
00:33:45Angie, while this has been fun
00:33:49I only had a couple of hours
00:33:50I really have to make this meeting
00:33:52Don't worry, you'll get there
00:33:54Besides, we're here
00:33:55Where?
00:33:58Didn't you hear what your girlfriend's mother said?
00:34:01She told us exactly where to find Charlotte's perfect gift
00:34:03Charlotte has fond Christmas memories from this market
00:34:24So, if we can find something here she needs
00:34:27And something that she wants
00:34:28The third circle of the Venn diagram
00:34:30Is that it comes from you
00:34:31Someone that she loves
00:34:33Oh, uh, we haven't exactly gotten to that word yet
00:34:36Are you hungry?
00:34:45Lovely
00:34:45Have you ever had one of these?
00:34:47Oh, yeah
00:34:48No, my parents were here on a project once
00:34:52And, uh, they sent me for Christmas
00:34:54One of those famous English hampers
00:34:56Full of this stuff
00:34:57Including my first mince
00:34:59I
00:34:59Loved them ever since
00:35:01So, you didn't spend your Christmases
00:35:04With your mum and dad?
00:35:06On
00:35:06Actually
00:35:07Not a lot
00:35:09No
00:35:10They were
00:35:10Usually on the other side of the world
00:35:13Working Christmas time
00:35:14So
00:35:14They must have missed you
00:35:15No, they did
00:35:17And I missed them
00:35:18But
00:35:18Well
00:35:19You know
00:35:20You get used to things, right?
00:35:24So
00:35:24How did you spend your holidays then?
00:35:26Well, I was at boarding school
00:35:28So
00:35:28It was just me
00:35:29A couple other kids
00:35:31A few teachers
00:35:32With nowhere else to go
00:35:33We would sneak into the kitchen
00:35:36And make a big dinner
00:35:37And then afterwards
00:35:38We would trade all the presents
00:35:39That we got from home
00:35:40That we didn't want
00:35:41That sounds kind of fun
00:35:43No, it was
00:35:44It was
00:35:45But
00:35:45I always wondered
00:35:47What it would be like
00:35:48To have a real
00:35:48You know
00:35:49Family
00:35:49Christmas
00:35:50Lots of noise
00:35:52Kids running around
00:35:54Big table
00:35:54Everyone fighting over
00:35:56The same bowl of cranberry sauce
00:35:58Well, you're spending Christmas Eve
00:35:59With Charlotte and the family, aren't you?
00:36:01Yeah, I am
00:36:02And I'm sure it will be very nice
00:36:05But
00:36:06I'm guessing there's going to be
00:36:08More than one bowl of cranberry sauce
00:36:10We're running late
00:36:18Yes, and I have another idea for Charlotte
00:36:21There's something in the shop I want to show you
00:36:46Miss Angie
00:36:49Happy Christmas
00:36:50Happy Christmas
00:36:51What a great storm
00:36:54Appreciate the compliment
00:36:55Miss Angie is one of my best customers
00:36:58Kind of last minute for you though, isn't it?
00:37:00Just one gift left
00:37:01And I have a feeling
00:37:02We're going to find it here
00:37:03Have you still got that ruby brooch?
00:37:06I'm sorry
00:37:06Someone bought that the other day
00:37:08But I've still got that pen you've had your eye on all year
00:37:11Not quite yet, I'm afraid
00:37:16Well, I'll be waiting for you when you're ready
00:37:18Thank you
00:37:19So what do you mean by, uh, when you're ready?
00:37:26I promised myself a gift when I finish writing my book
00:37:29Oh, so you're a writer, too
00:37:32Trying to be, anyway
00:37:33Why don't we try the market in St. James Park?
00:37:43So, what's the book going to be called?
00:37:46The Gift Whisperer
00:37:50Andrew's Guide to Good Gifting
00:37:51Nice
00:37:52Come on
00:37:54Let me see
00:37:55We'll see what?
00:37:57How would you know that I have to live home?
00:37:58Because I started playing with it
00:37:59Come on
00:38:01Sure
00:38:01Nice
00:38:02So am I going to be in it?
00:38:05Uh, not at the moment
00:38:06It's a work in progress
00:38:08Honestly, I'm having trouble with the ending
00:38:12Really? You want to run it by me?
00:38:15Really?
00:38:15Sure
00:38:16Look, I'm no writer, but
00:38:18Well, when I'm working through an idea
00:38:22It helps to talk it out with someone
00:38:23Okay
00:38:26So, it's about finding the perfect gift
00:38:29Uh-huh, obviously
00:38:30That means something different to everyone
00:38:34Doesn't it?
00:38:35Uh-huh
00:38:36And I can't quite figure out how to sum it all up
00:38:40You know, make my final grand statement to end the book
00:38:45Huh
00:38:46Sometimes the only thing harder than starting something
00:38:49Is ending
00:38:51Oh, excuse me
00:38:55Oh, sure
00:38:56Thanks
00:38:57Sorry
00:38:58Callum, hey
00:39:01David, where are you?
00:39:03Uh, believe it or not
00:39:04St. James's Park
00:39:06Look, Alan Feldman has just bumped up the meeting
00:39:09He wants to see you half an hour earlier
00:39:10What?
00:39:11If you leave there now, you'll just about make it
00:39:13I'll keep Alan at bay here
00:39:14But David, by the sounds of things
00:39:15You don't want to miss this meeting
00:39:16Bye
00:39:20Is everything okay?
00:39:21No, actually
00:39:22I've got to get to the meeting now
00:39:23But what about Charlotte's clear?
00:39:25I guess I'll just have to go with the gift card
00:39:27Look, I'm so sorry
00:39:28I can keep looking
00:39:29I don't mind
00:39:30No, no, no, no
00:39:31Honestly
00:39:31Just, no
00:39:32David, David
00:39:33David
00:39:33It's fine
00:39:34David
00:39:34David
00:39:34David
00:39:35Americans
00:39:38Mr. Fairlawn's office
00:39:42Yeah, no, this is, uh, David Burnside
00:39:44I have a meeting today with Mr. Fairlawn
00:39:47But I had a little accident
00:39:50Oh
00:39:52Hi
00:39:56I got you some hot cider
00:39:58Thank you
00:39:59And, um
00:40:00Some new clothes
00:40:03Right
00:40:04So did you get through to him?
00:40:05I did, yes
00:40:06Turns out he's a busy guy
00:40:07Uh, Mr. Fairlawn only have a small window to meet
00:40:11Uh, which vanished as I was taking a swim
00:40:14Well, can he see you later today?
00:40:16No, he's already left the office
00:40:17Um, turns out he has to go to a Christmas party
00:40:20At the, uh, Landmark Hotel
00:40:22What about tomorrow?
00:40:24Tomorrow'll be too late
00:40:25Um
00:40:27This is exactly what Simon's gonna say when I tell him
00:40:33There has to be something that we can do
00:40:35We?
00:40:38Yes, we
00:40:38I
00:40:38It's like the gift card thing
00:40:41I just, I just don't like giving up, that's all
00:40:43Wait a second
00:40:45Did you say that Mr. Fairlawn's going to be at Landmark tonight?
00:40:48Mm-hmm
00:40:48For a charity event
00:40:51I've got an idea
00:40:54Uh-huh
00:40:55Okay
00:40:57Okay, well thanks anyway
00:41:05Right, sorry, it's a private party
00:41:08And they won't let me add any names to the guest list
00:41:10I was worth a shot
00:41:11True, he is awfully handsome
00:41:13Right then, that is not what I meant
00:41:15Oh, come on, don't act like you haven't noticed
00:41:17Maybe I have, maybe I haven't
00:41:19Either way, this is a strictly business situation
00:41:22Well, it only took me ten minutes in a hot shower to stop shivering
00:41:26I must say you pull off that sweater very well
00:41:29Really?
00:41:30I thought it was a kind of a joke
00:41:32Okay, short notice
00:41:34So Emily didn't have much luck with the Landmark
00:41:37Oh, um, well thank you anyway
00:41:40Uh, I'm, I guess I'm just going to have to tell my boss
00:41:44That I missed the meeting with Fairlawn
00:41:45And that'll be that
00:41:48Well no, hang on
00:41:48I just couldn't get your names on the guest list
00:41:50It doesn't mean I couldn't get you into the party
00:41:52Your lifesaver
00:41:53What?
00:41:55Oh, but you can't go like that
00:41:57It's a black tie event
00:41:58Do you have a tux?
00:42:01Uh-huh
00:42:01In storage
00:42:03In New York
00:42:04Oh
00:42:05But I know where I can borrow one
00:42:08One olive or two
00:42:13Let's go three
00:42:15It's the holidays
00:42:15Good idea
00:42:16I swear
00:42:18How long does it take that boy to put a tux on?
00:42:20David
00:42:21I expect the party's going to be over by the time you get down
00:42:23Here you go
00:42:25At this rate he's going to miss the party
00:42:26Christmas, Halloween, Easter
00:42:28All of them
00:42:28I'm, uh, having a little trouble with the tie
00:42:32Did they not teach you anything in American school?
00:42:34Come here
00:42:35Yeah, yeah
00:42:35Well, the pants are a bit long
00:42:38But thanks for the loner, guys
00:42:39Um, I'll get it back to you in the morning
00:42:42Keep it
00:42:42Somebody grew out of that one years ago
00:42:44I told you the dry cleaner shrunk it
00:42:46Just around the waist?
00:42:48Oh, I don't know why I married you
00:42:50How did you know?
00:42:54Know what?
00:42:55Well, that Ethan was, you know, the one
00:42:58Well, I suppose it was the fact that all the ones before him were such heavy lifting
00:43:03What do you mean?
00:43:05Well, you know how they say that relationships take hard work
00:43:07Mm-hmm
00:43:08With Ethan and I, it never really felt like hard work
00:43:11It was not always easy, I suppose
00:43:14But it was always a great deal of fun
00:43:16Hm
00:43:17David?
00:43:20Mm-hmm
00:43:21Is this about Charlotte?
00:43:22No, no, no
00:43:24Hey
00:43:26Charlotte is a very special woman
00:43:30I'm not saying she isn't
00:43:31But is she the right kind of special to make her the one for you?
00:43:35David!
00:43:36Your date's here
00:43:37It's not a date
00:43:40It's a date
00:43:42Ethan, it's strictly biz
00:43:45Hi
00:43:48Hey
00:43:49You look up
00:43:51Very smart
00:43:53Thanks
00:43:55You look
00:43:57Very
00:43:59Smart, too
00:44:01Angie
00:44:05This is Ethan
00:44:07Callum from Warwick's husband, I love
00:44:10Ah, well, nice to meet you both
00:44:12Pleasure
00:44:12Don't stay up too late, you two
00:44:14All right
00:44:15You know how we worry
00:44:16Good
00:44:18Bye
00:44:19Say
00:44:32That's not Charlotte
00:44:34No
00:44:35No
00:44:35No, it isn't
00:44:36They grew up so quickly, didn't they?
00:44:39Yeah
00:44:39Hey, I don't know about this
00:44:53What if Farallon finds out that I crashed a party just to meet him?
00:44:57David
00:44:59It's a huge Christmas bash
00:45:02No one's going to notice a couple of extra guests
00:45:04Besides, you really want this project, don't you?
00:45:09I came all the way across town in a borrowed tuxedo with a woman that I met yesterday
00:45:14What do you think?
00:45:15Right this way, just remember, you've never heard of me, my boss finds out though, if I let you in, I'll be back working birthday parties at the Christmas panto
00:45:28I want all the juicy details
00:45:45There won't be any juicy details, I told you this is strictly business
00:45:48Yes
00:45:48No, that doesn't look like strictly business dress to me
00:45:51Thank you
00:45:51So, what does this Mr. Furlorn look like anyway?
00:45:58Ah, I have no idea, I've never met the guy
00:46:02Alright
00:46:03Well, if he's so important, he's got to be online, doesn't he?
00:46:12Hmm, found him
00:46:15Are you sure that's him?
00:46:17Well, there's only one way to find out
00:46:23Come on, let's move through the crowd
00:46:28Why are you doing all this?
00:46:34You don't like dancing?
00:46:35No, giving up your night to help me out
00:46:39I mean, I'm sure there's other things you'd rather be doing
00:46:44Crashing a fancy party with a complete stranger
00:46:47Well, I had planned on hunting the bin liners tonight
00:46:51And then maybe eating the biscuits my mum said last week in front of the telly, so
00:46:56Yes
00:46:58Sacrifice made
00:47:01I still find it hard to believe that the gift whisperer doesn't have someone special of their own
00:47:07When it comes to finding the perfect gift, I've got it sorted
00:47:11Turned out to be harder to find the perfect man
00:47:20David
00:47:21That's him
00:47:25Okay, so, how do I do this?
00:47:28Okay, we dance over there, pretend to recognize him, introduce me, talk to his wife about Christmas shopping or something
00:47:35And then suggest that you two go get some drinks
00:47:37And then, on the way, you pitch your project harder than you've pictured anything in your whole life before
00:47:42Simple
00:47:44How on earth do you come up with this stuff?
00:47:45I told you, I'm a professional
00:47:46Oh no
00:47:47What's wrong?
00:47:48That's my boss and his wife
00:47:49Wait, isn't that Charlotte's mother?
00:47:50Yeah
00:47:51You're dating your boss's daughter
00:47:52Charlotte is my boss's daughter
00:47:53And I'm pretty sure that I told her I was working late tonight, so we gotta get out of here now
00:47:54Okay, what about Mr. Fairlong?
00:47:56Uh, maybe I can wait for him outside and I'll talk to him then, okay, let's go
00:47:59Okay, wait, oh wait, yes, it's caught
00:48:01It's caught
00:48:04It's caught
00:48:05My purse
00:48:07Excuse me
00:48:08David
00:48:10Charlotte
00:48:11Wir können nachdenken, und ich habe ihn dann gesagt.
00:48:14Okay?
00:48:15Okay.
00:48:16Oh, okay.
00:48:17Oh, wait.
00:48:18It's caught.
00:48:19It's caught.
00:48:20Excuse me.
00:48:21David.
00:48:24Charlotte.
00:48:28Great party, huh?
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:32Charlotte, please just let me explain.
00:48:41Everything is perfectly clear to me, David.
00:48:43Thank you very much.
00:48:45It's also clear to me that I should have turned down my parents' invitation to this party tonight.
00:48:49It would have saved us all a lot of embarrassment.
00:48:53You!
00:48:54You told me that you were happy to start a new life with me here in London.
00:48:58Oh, yet apparently you're having a hard time letting go of someone from your past.
00:49:03What?
00:49:04Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:49:05Angie is not from my past.
00:49:07No?
00:49:08She's my, uh, my personal shocker.
00:49:16Come on, David.
00:49:18Now look, I know how that sounds, but I couldn't find you the perfect Christmas present, so I hired Angie to do it for me.
00:49:25Alright.
00:49:26Then why are you here?
00:49:28Well, that's kind of a long story, but I came here to meet that guy.
00:49:39Charlotte, he's telling the truth.
00:49:43Alright.
00:49:44Well, if he is, then I'm gonna need just a little bit of time to process this.
00:49:49Oh, and if he isn't, then we are gonna talk about this later.
00:49:54Our car's here, dear.
00:49:57Good night, David.
00:49:58Good night, Catherine.
00:50:00Simon, please just let me try and explain.
00:50:03I spoke to Alan Fairlong.
00:50:06He says you missed the meeting.
00:50:09Well, I suppose I can see why.
00:50:11Mr. Fitzgerald, it's not what you think.
00:50:13I think I've heard enough for one evening, thank you.
00:50:16We'll discuss this in the morning, David.
00:50:18My office.
00:50:1910 a.m.
00:50:22Good night.
00:50:23Great.
00:50:33Just great.
00:50:35I lost my girlfriend, a contract, and probably my job all in one night.
00:50:39She's just angry.
00:50:40I'm sure she'll be fine after a good night's sleep.
00:50:42Oh, a good night's sleep.
00:50:44That's exactly what I need.
00:50:47Preferably one that lasts about a year.
00:50:49All right.
00:51:00Isn't this where we parked the car?
00:51:02What the...?
00:51:03The battery's dead, and the charge is in the car.
00:51:21I suppose this is good night, then.
00:51:24I am so, so sorry that things didn't work out, David.
00:51:26I really am.
00:51:27Hey, wait, wait, wait.
00:51:29Where are you going?
00:51:30I guess I'm going to the impound board.
00:51:33I need my car.
00:51:34There are gifts in the booth that I need to give my clients in the morning.
00:51:36Well, I'm coming with you.
00:51:37You are so sweet, but you really don't have to.
00:51:39Yes, I do, and I'm not being sweet.
00:51:41My keys are in my suit.
00:51:42The suit that is in the trunk of your car.
00:51:44Taxi!
00:51:45Come on.
00:51:46That'll be kidding me.
00:51:47It's the fifth one.
00:51:48Yes.
00:51:49Whatever happened to the Christmas spirit?
00:51:50You are so sweet, but you really don't have to.
00:51:53Yes, I do, and I'm not being sweet.
00:51:55My keys are in my suit.
00:51:56The suit that is in the trunk of your car.
00:52:00Taxi!
00:52:04Come on.
00:52:05That'll be kidding me.
00:52:06It's the fifth one.
00:52:07What ever happened to the Christmas spirit?
00:52:08I am so, so sorry about this, David.
00:52:09I just, I can't believe I didn't see the sign.
00:52:10No, no.
00:52:11Don't worry about it.
00:52:12It's just that, well, usually I have my whole day planned out for me, and today?
00:52:13Well, today didn't exactly go to plan.
00:52:16Talking about things unplanned.
00:52:17Let's go.
00:52:18Let's go.
00:52:20Oh, thank you.
00:52:25Okay.
00:52:26Oh, how are you doing?
00:52:27It's my door and it allows you to have to go and need to have to.
00:52:30Well, Jim?
00:52:31Well, I'm inside the room so I can't believe that.
00:52:32The Lynx is very fine.
00:52:33I don't want to see the sign.
00:52:34Oh, no.
00:52:35Don't worry about it.
00:52:36It's just that, well, usually I have my whole day planned out for me, and what, and today?
00:52:39Well, today didn't exactly go to plan.
00:52:42Talk about things unplanned.
00:52:45Let's go.

00:55:13Was machen wir jetzt?
00:55:14Die Closest Tape Station ist nur zehn blocken von der Straße.
00:55:18Okay.
00:55:20Oder...
00:55:22Oder...
00:55:24I know a place.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:37Uh...
00:55:39Oh, I wonder that a pub is the best idea.
00:55:42This isn't just any pub.
00:55:44Anjali, you've come to visit your parents. What a lovely surprise.
00:55:48Oh, I saw you yesterday.
00:55:50Oh, my. Don't you both look handsome?
00:55:52Uh, Mum. This is David. David. This is my mum, Nalani. She and my dad own The Hungry Manchester.
00:56:00As you can see, I do most of the work. Pleasure to meet you, David.
00:56:03Pleasure's all mine.
00:56:04Although, if I'd known my daughter was going to bring a gentleman friend, I would have dressed up a little.
00:56:08Mum, David's a client.
00:56:10Oh, pity.
00:56:12Who'd like some hot, mulled wine?
00:56:18So, you're from New York, David.
00:56:20Uh-huh.
00:56:21Do you know, I've always wanted to go there.
00:56:23The nearest we've ever been is Dorset.
00:56:26Dorset was good enough for our honeymoon.
00:56:29I called my friend David at the District Council and he says the lot will be open until tomorrow morning.
00:56:35I can give you a ride home after closing.
00:56:38David won't be able to get to his flat, Dad. His keys are in my boot.
00:56:41Oh, well, we've plenty of room here, David. We live just upstairs and there's a lovely big guest suite.
00:56:47Oh, no. No, no, no. I couldn't possibly, but thank you.
00:56:50So, David, you're an architect.
00:56:52Uh-huh.
00:56:53Anything I would know?
00:56:54Not in London. Not yet.
00:56:56David's starting his first project in London, Dad.
00:56:59Actually, after tonight, I wouldn't be so sure.
00:57:01Well, you keep at it. Every artist wants to make a mark in this world. And I'll bet you'll make yours, too.
00:57:07Oh, and if you don't have any plans for tomorrow night, David, we're having a big open house with lots of food and good fun with friends and family. Everyone's welcome.
00:57:17That's, uh, very kind of you. But actually, I'll be with my girlfriend and her family.
00:57:22Oh.
00:57:23We're spending our first Christmas together this year.
00:57:26Your first Christmas? So that means you and your girlfriend have been together for less than a year.
00:57:30Mom.
00:57:31What? I'm only making conversation. Come along, David.
00:57:35Where are we going?
00:57:36We have an old Christmas tradition here at The Hungry Manchester. Mom.
00:57:40Oh.
00:57:42I'm scared.
00:57:55So, did my daughter tell you how she became a personal shopper?
00:57:58Uh, yeah. Something about buying a watch for her roommate's boyfriend or...?
00:58:04Is that what she said?
00:58:05Yeah? Why?
00:58:06Well, it's not really my place to say I'm just her mum. But between us...
00:58:11Uh-huh.
00:58:12...he wasn't her roommate's boyfriend. He was hers.
00:58:15Really?
00:58:16Yes. They were quite serious, really. At least Anjali thought so. She bought him that beautiful watch as a gift. But he left her for her roommate. On Christmas Eve.
00:58:28Ouch.
00:58:29Ouch.
00:58:30Ouch.
00:58:31Ouch, indeed. She's never really gotten over it, I think.
00:58:34Uh-huh.
00:58:35Funny thing is, she blames the watch.
00:58:36Really? Why?
00:58:38Well, between us, I think she feels if she'd bought him the right gift, he wouldn't have left her.
00:58:44Oh, that's ridiculous.
00:58:45Maybe it is. Or maybe it isn't. If you're a girl searching for a reason for a broken heart.
00:58:57Oh, I see. I just want, uh, the perfect gift.
00:59:03Oh! You owe me ten quid. Old Christmas tradition.
00:59:10Oh, I see. Really.
00:59:12Thanks, guys.
00:59:19Your mother tells me you've changed your mind about taking over the pub when I retire.
00:59:24I didn't change my mind, Dad. You and Mum were the ones who made it up for me in the first place.
00:59:29The Hungry Manchester has been in my family for years. It has taken very good care of you. Of all of us. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:59:36I never said I was ashamed of this place. I love this place. But it's just not mine, okay? I just wish I could make you both understand that.
00:59:45You've been talking about this book and this gift business for years. That's what you want to do with your life?
00:59:51Yes. It is. Look, I want to make both of you proud of me. I do. But I just, I don't want to do it your way. I want to do it on my own.
01:00:02I'll go up and put some fresh towels out for you in the guest room, David.
01:00:21No, honestly, I can get a hotel. Not another word. Anjali, your room's ready too.
01:00:26Thank you. My room is always ready. She's been expecting me to move back since I went to college.
01:00:33Ah. Does the tree tropper look crooked to you, my love?
01:00:37It looks perfect, my love. Just like every year.
01:00:44See you both in the morning. Good night.
01:00:47Good night.
01:00:51I am so, so sorry about my mom and dad. They can be a bit much sometimes.
01:00:54Are you kidding me? They're incredible.
01:00:58The whole time I was with my parents, I don't think I ever saw them kiss each other.
01:01:04It's kind of cute.
01:01:06Hmm.
01:01:08You know, he is right. That angel is crooked.
01:01:13You sure?
01:01:14I like it. It's, uh, it's more like Christmas.
01:01:27Just like Christmas.
01:01:36Uh, so, I've got a big day tomorrow. Lots of gifts to deliver.
01:01:41Ah.
01:01:44Cutting it kind of close, aren't you?
01:01:46Well, no, not really. No.
01:01:48People ask me to do it as late as possible, so they don't have to hide the presents from little fingers.
01:01:53Little fingers.
01:02:05Aren't these your keys?
01:02:07They are.
01:02:09You said that your keys were in your suit, in my car.
01:02:15I did say that.
01:02:17Yeah.
01:02:19But here they are.
01:02:23And yet, here they are.
01:02:30Okay, well, just, uh, send the bill to my office. Let me know how much I owe you. And, um...
01:02:36Andy.
01:02:42About the keys.
01:02:44You knew you had the keys all along, didn't you?
01:02:48I couldn't just up and leave you there. Alone. That wouldn't have been the right thing to do.
01:02:52But I'm sorry. I should have been honest, especially after what you said about not being out of trust with people, so...
01:02:58Thank you, David. Really.
01:03:01No, I should be thanking you.
01:03:04Why? After all the things that happened today.
01:03:08I can't remember the last time I had so much fun.
01:03:11Well, even with all the Christmas stuff and all the fa-la-las and everything.
01:03:14Even the fa-la-las.
01:03:17Might not have been the day I planned, but it just might have been the day I needed.
01:03:21But we didn't find the perfect Christmas gift.
01:03:24I don't know.
01:03:28Maybe we did.
01:03:36Anyway, um...
01:03:38Please, thank your mum for the offer of the guest room and the mulled wine, and...
01:03:43Wish them both all the best for the holidays.
01:03:47I will. I will.
01:03:48Thank you.
01:03:51Thank you, babe.
01:04:01I... sorry.
01:04:03Nope.
01:04:04I should not have done that.
01:04:06No, no, no. No.
01:04:08Everyone gets caught up in the Christmas spirit at least once.
01:04:12Right.
01:04:14The Christmas spirit.
01:04:15Yes.
01:04:16Okay.
01:04:18Well...
01:04:19Merry Christmas, Angie Patel.
01:04:22Happy Christmas, David Bernsheim.
01:04:36Happy Christmas.
01:04:37David Bernsheim.
01:04:39ARD Text im Auftrag von Funk
01:05:09Hallo, David. Es ist mir.
01:05:26Es war eine sehr wunderschöne Situation. Ich war sehr angry, natürlich.
01:05:30Aber ich glaube, wir müssen uns überlegen, wo wir von hier gehen.
01:05:33So, bitte bitte, ich komme zurück.
01:05:35Danke.
01:05:39David, es ist mir wieder. Du bist noch nicht antworten. Ich weiß nicht, wo du bist.
01:05:43Aber wenn du diese Message bekommst, bitte telefon mich.
01:05:46David, es ist Charlotte. Du musst sprechen.
01:05:49Ich bitte telefon mich.
01:05:50Danke.
01:06:08Komm schon, Dad. Die Lok öffens in zehn Minuten. Ich habe zu kommen.
01:06:12Der Motor ist bereits vorhanden.
01:06:14Komm schon.
01:06:15Danke, Dad.
01:06:17Do you know, I still don't understand exactly what happened.
01:06:22So David did find his keys, after all.
01:06:25Yeah, more or less.
01:06:27What does that mean, more or less?
01:06:29Honestly, Anjali, sometimes you make no sense.
01:06:33Oh, what's this?
01:06:36For Nalini and Sirish.
01:06:39It's a gift card from Carlton's.
01:06:44Thank you for everything. Merry Christmas, David.
01:06:48P.S. to Nalini.
01:06:49I want a rematch.
01:06:52What a sweet thing to do.
01:06:54He seems like a very nice man.
01:06:56It's such a shame that you two couldn't get to know each other better.
01:07:00It can take a lifetime to get to know someone, Mum.
01:07:02Maybe, but sometimes all it really takes is one day.
01:07:06Why didn't you just tell me who she was in the first place?
01:07:18I didn't want you to think that I didn't know what to get you for Christmas.
01:07:21And that I didn't care about you, because I do.
01:07:25It's just...
01:07:26I'm not sure it's the way you deserve it.
01:07:29Please, Char.
01:07:32I didn't mean to hurt you.
01:07:34Funny thing is, you didn't.
01:07:37No, it's true.
01:07:37I got home last night and I was upset and I was angry, but I wasn't hurt.
01:07:46Then I realised why I wasn't hurt.
01:07:48But if I'm being completely honest, I don't think that our relationship's working.
01:07:54You're so focused on your career right now and there doesn't seem to be any time for me.
01:07:59And I don't want to compete with a 50-story building.
01:08:04So I guess the next step in our relationship is goodbye?
01:08:10You know how people say they've found the right one?
01:08:14It's not me, is it?
01:08:16No.
01:08:17It's not me either.
01:08:18So which one of us is going to tell your dad?
01:08:24My father has his business.
01:08:26I owe my life.
01:08:29I don't know what his plans are, but it's between you two to decide.
01:08:35As for Christmas, uh...
01:08:38Yeah, I thought I'd give you this now.
01:08:41It'll save you having to come later tonight.
01:08:44Happy Christmas, David.
01:08:45All is calm, all is bright.
01:09:07Merry Christmas.
01:09:20Merry Christmas.
01:09:20All is crunchy.
01:09:21And I want you to go to us.
01:09:37Ha, ha, ha.
01:09:37Hi.
01:09:38There you go.
01:09:40Did you see?
01:09:40Surprise, a spot.
01:09:41Das war's für heute.
01:10:11Das war's für heute.
01:10:41Anyway, look, if Fairlawn doesn't understand that, then maybe I wasn't the right guy for him in the first place.
01:10:47I see.
01:10:47Well, uh, David Burnside, I'd like you to meet Alan Feld.
01:10:54Good morning.
01:11:02Alan was kind enough to stop it on his way to Heathrow to meet you.
01:11:05Hey.
01:11:07So, David, let's see what you have.
01:11:13Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
01:11:15What, what, what did you say?
01:11:17Well, what could I say?
01:11:18I pitched a project and wished him a Merry Christmas and left.
01:11:22Oh, my goodness, that is absolutely brilliant.
01:11:25Oh, I wish I'd have seen Simon's face.
01:11:26There was.
01:11:27Oh, trust me, he wasn't too happy.
01:11:29Actually, he didn't say much of anything other than goodbye.
01:11:31Well, it's either the end of your career or the greatest thing I've ever heard, really.
01:11:35Well, if, you know, success means I have to only concentrate on work and not have a life,
01:11:41then maybe I need to fail once in a while.
01:11:43Wow.
01:11:43Well done, David, I'm proud of you.
01:11:47So, right now, I got a Christmas delivery to make.
01:12:08Excuse me.
01:12:10Can you do me a favor?
01:12:11I want to surprise my friend.
01:12:15Can you put this with all the other presents?
01:12:20I'm just saying you should call him and wish him a happy Christmas.
01:12:23Mom, I told you, he has a girlfriend.
01:12:26All right, all right.
01:12:28But I know what I saw when I watched you two together.
01:12:30It's just not meant to be.
01:12:32That is all.
01:12:33Thanks, Dad.
01:12:34Uh-huh.
01:12:36Besides, it is Christmas, so...
01:12:38Here you go.
01:12:39Why don't we just go spread some cheer?
01:12:43Okay.
01:12:43Ja, danke.
01:13:13David, make sure you get some of that caviar before the Horde finishes it off.
01:13:19I swear, it's as if they don't eat all year long.
01:13:21Then come Christmas Eve, they descend upon us like a swarm of locusts.
01:13:25Hey, it's a great party.
01:13:27Thank you.
01:13:28Thanks for the invite.
01:13:29I appreciate it.
01:13:30So you split up with Charlotte?
01:13:32Uh, yeah.
01:13:33Oh my goodness.
01:13:34What happened? Was it anything in particular?
01:13:37Uh, for one thing, I didn't know what to get her for Christmas.
01:13:40What about your friend from last night? She was absolutely charming.
01:13:44Oh, she is?
01:13:45Yeah.
01:13:46Here's the chap I was talking about, David. This is Deirdre. Deirdre. David.
01:13:50Hello, nice to meet you.
01:13:51Uh, nice to meet you too.
01:13:53Hey, David is an architect.
01:13:55Oh, really? I'm a Sagittarius.
01:14:03Great. Um...
01:14:10Did you find it yet?
01:14:25Good Christmas, guys!
01:14:26Woo-hoo!
01:14:31Oh, love!
01:14:33What a great party!
01:14:36Thanks for your help.
01:14:37Hmm.
01:14:38You know, you can make a real success of this pub.
01:14:41Oh, Mom, not tonight.
01:14:43Let me finish.
01:14:45The thing is, I believe, you can make a real success of anything you put your hand to.
01:14:49Your mother and I have been talking, and, well, we think we owe you an apology.
01:14:54We've been trying to make you live your life for us, not for yourself, and that was wrong.
01:15:00We're sorry.
01:15:01Oh, that's okay.
01:15:03No, it's not.
01:15:04As parents, the most important thing to us, more important than career, money, or success,
01:15:09is that our child be happy.
01:15:13And if your happiness means being the gift whisperer, well, then, you just be the best darn gift whisperer there is.
01:15:20Okay?
01:15:22I love you very much, Angie.
01:15:23Oh, I love you both so much, too.
01:15:30Oh, I almost forgot my Santa duties.
01:15:33Thanks, Mom.
01:15:34You're welcome, darling.
01:15:37You guys don't have to get me anything.
01:15:40It's not from us.
01:15:42Okay.
01:15:43Someone dropped it off for you earlier.
01:15:44To be used when you sign the publishing contract for your book.
01:16:04I hope you write a happy ending.
01:16:05You deserve it.
01:16:07Happy Christmas, David.
01:16:10So you still think it's not meant to be?
01:16:12Okay.
01:16:14Hey, we're almost out of cheese.
01:16:23I told you that you should have bought our own cow.
01:16:25David, can you go back?
01:16:32Hello, David.
01:16:34Simon.
01:16:35Um, come on in.
01:16:37I'll tell Callum that you're here.
01:16:39Actually, I am here to see you.
01:16:42Oh.
01:16:42Um.
01:16:43I'm surprised you're even talking to me.
01:16:46So am I.
01:16:48You got the contract.
01:16:51What?
01:16:52What?
01:16:52Yeah.
01:16:53Fairlorn was impressed with you.
01:16:55Really?
01:16:56Hmm.
01:16:57He also liked what you were saying about trying to balance life and work.
01:17:01He said he wants to be in business with someone like you.
01:17:04Well, that's great news, right?
01:17:08He wants to break ground as soon as possible.
01:17:09So we'll start working on the project first thing in the new year.
01:17:13Okay.
01:17:14Anyway, I, uh, I wanted to let you know in person.
01:17:21Congratulations.
01:17:22Uh, how do you know where to find me?
01:17:28Oh, ha, yes.
01:17:30Uh, well, um, uh, when, uh, Charlotte said that we wouldn't be seeing you at our house tonight,
01:17:38I figured you had to be going to a much better party.
01:17:40Merry Christmas, David.
01:17:46Thanks, Simon.
01:17:49Have fun.
01:17:50To a happy Christmas, one and all.
01:17:57Cheers!
01:18:00Cheers!
01:18:03All right, who's next for a Christmas toast?
01:18:05Anybody?
01:18:06How about you, Angie?
01:18:07Do you have any wonderful toast for our guests?
01:18:09Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
01:18:11Come on!
01:18:12Yes, you do.
01:18:13Come on!
01:18:14Don't be shy.
01:18:15Okay.
01:18:20Ah, for those of you who don't know what I do for a living, I, um, I help people shop.
01:18:29And she's very good at it, too.
01:18:31Thanks, Danny.
01:18:33I have spent the last 24 hours trying to find the perfect gift.
01:18:39And, you know, the thing is, I always thought that that meant something different for everyone.
01:18:43But actually, I don't think that's true anymore.
01:18:46I think maybe the perfect gift is the same thing for all of us.
01:18:53Yeah, a one-size-fits-all gift that keeps giving.
01:18:56And it's not something that you can find on a shelf or even in a store window or even under the tree on Christmas warning.
01:19:03Because it is right here.
01:19:04I see it on your faces.
01:19:09I see it in your eyes.
01:19:11I see it in the way my mama and dad look at me.
01:19:14I see it in the way they look at each other every day, even after all of these years together.
01:19:19So, let us raise a glass to the perfect gift.
01:19:25To love.
01:19:25Happy Christmas, Angie.
01:19:35Thank you.
01:19:46Thanks, guys.
01:19:47Bye.
01:19:48Bye, David.
01:19:48Bye.
01:19:49Bye, David.
01:19:50Come on.
01:19:51Bye.
01:20:21Hi.
01:20:47Hi.
01:20:51They do say London's a small town.
01:21:00Are you here to make a wish?
01:21:02I am.
01:21:03And you?
01:21:06I thought that you were spending Christmas Eve with Charlotte and her family.
01:21:10Yeah, that, uh, didn't exactly go to plan.
01:21:14You know, it was a little like your Venn diagram, but Charlotte and I never really did meet in the middle.
01:21:25Thank you for the pen.
01:21:26I love it.
01:21:28It wasn't hard to find you the perfect gift.
01:21:31Maybe that said something.
01:21:35What should we do now?
01:21:36On three.
01:21:40One.
01:21:41Two.
01:21:45Three.
01:21:54I hope they come true.
01:21:59I have a feeling they already have.
01:22:01Two.
01:22:02Three.
01:22:21Eight.
01:22:24Two.
01:22:24Three.
01:22:27One.
01:22:28Two.
01:22:29So, do you have any plans for Christmas Day?
01:22:36What do you have in mind?
01:22:37Mmm, well, I know a place.
01:22:41Uh-huh.
01:22:42Now, it's, uh, I need to warn you, it's going to be very, very loud,
01:22:46and there are lots of kids running around,
01:22:48and you may have to fight for the cranberry sauce.
01:22:50Ah, cranberry sauce.
01:22:53Sounds like a jolly good Christmas to me.
01:22:56Cranberry sauce.
01:22:58Mmm.
01:22:59Yummy.
01:23:00Yummy.
01:23:01Very American, actually.
01:23:03Right?
01:23:03Okay.
