Silly Auntie Laura.
Dan? Yeah.

He was in my class at school.
I sat next to him.
He was the nicest man in the whole wide world.

He's got a real soft spot for a certain someone! You can't tell anyone.
OK? Good boy.
Do you want this back? Erm, yeah, thanks.

I could smell him from here.
He's fine as he is.
This one's for Becky! Ho ho ho! Happy Christmas, Becky.
Thank you! Oh! Thanks, Laura, thanks, Paul.
That's great.

Well, that's very good, isn't it? CHATTER FROM ADJACENT ROOM So what's your favourite subject at school? History.
You like history, do you? Yeah.
Excellent.
Excellent.
I liked Maths.
BECKS: Any Pringles left in that one? PAUL: No, you get 'em.
LAURA: Come on, Becks, we'll get them together, then we can do some vocal warm-ups for the karaoke.
BECKS: Yeah, or we could just get Pringles.
But I want to do some vocal warm-ups.
I'm just getting Pringles, Laura.
I know, but if you don't do vocal warm-ups you can tear your larynx.
PAUL: Where's your Dad gone? He's hilarious, Shelly, isn't he? Hello, hello, hello! What's going on 'ere, then? Give me a C.
One minute.
Give me a C, Becks.
I don't actually particularly want to.
Are you going to ruin Christmas? SHE HUMS A C LAURA HUMS THE SAME NOTE Thanks.
A-hem.
Happy Christmas, Dan.
That's quite a beard you've got there.
Thank you.
You poor thing, living above this reprobate.
I bet it's all wine, women and song round here, if I know my son! Yes! It is! It's wild! I don't know who he takes after! And who's this? I'm Shelly.
You didn't tell me about Shelly, Steve! Be still, my beating heart! But seriously, Shelly.
It's always nice to meet a friend of my son's but it's even better when she's an absolute, 100%, bona fide stunner.
Happy Christmas, darling.
Lovely to meet you.
Ooh.
Don't mind if I do! I'm walking in the air-r-r-r-r-r-r-r Go on.
I'm walking in the air.
"Air-r-r-r-r-r".
"Air-r-r-r-r-r".
You're flat, Becks.
"Air-r-r-r.
" "Air-r-r-r.
" Don't.
One more time.
"Air-r-r-r-r.

Presents! Presents! Presents! Presents! I love Christmas.
I am so fucking happy that it's Christmas.
Happy Christmas, Laura.
Aaaaah.
Thanks so much, Shelly.
You've got to be careful with Shelly, if you criticise her, she spazzes out.
It's from me, Kieran and Dan.
Aw.
That's so nice.
Thanks, Shell.
Thanks, Kieran.
Give her our one, Paul.
Ho-ho-ho.
Merry Christmas.
Oh, that's nice, Shell.
That is lovely.
What a lovely present.
Yeah, I like that, yeah.
Do you like it, Laura? Yeah.
It's nice.
It's an antique.
Mmm.
An antique, great! I thought you could wear it for your "Something old" as your "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
" Mmm, I'll do that.
I'll definitely, definitely do that.
Can I take a photo of you wearing it? No.
Oh, how lovely.
Thanks, Laura.
I just think it's better to let someone get what they want rather than giving them something they'll never wear.
Who wants to sing? Becky does.
Yay! Go Becks! Laura, can I have a go on that? Testing, testing.
1-2, 1-2.
Testing 2-2.
Did you bring the champagne, Shell? Erm, yeah.
Champagne! Let's have it then, don't be a Scrooge.
Yeah, don't be a Scrooge, Shelly.
Laura.
It's not good for the baby, remember.
He'll like it, it's fizzy.
You can have one glass.
Oh, Paul, when have you ever known me to have one glass of anything? I'll just get this off and then we can Wha-hay! Lovely.
Mmm.
Pour it.
Pour it! Pour it! Pour it! Pour it! Could you show me where the glasses are? Yep.
Bring in my Christmas crackers, yeah? Will do.
I've got these amazing crackers, Shell, they've got whistles in them.
Right, who wants to sing? CHEERING PAUL: I can't believe it's gone three and I'm still not wearing a paper hat.
I think I'll head off after this.
Oh, no.
Really? Yeah.
That's a shame.

Very nice.
Yeah.
That Shelly's a good-looking girl, isn't she? Yeah.
She's nice.

I bet it's all wine, women and song round here, if I know my son! Yes! It is! It's wild! I don't know who he takes after! And who's this? I'm Shelly.
You didn't tell me about Shelly, Steve! Be still, my beating heart! But seriously, Shelly.
It's always nice to meet a friend of my son's but it's even better when she's an absolute, 100%, bona fide stunner.
Happy Christmas, darling.
Lovely to meet you.
Ooh.
Don't mind if I do! I'm walking in the air-r-r-r-r-r-r-r Go on.
I'm walking in the air.
"Air-r-r-r-r-r".
"Air-r-r-r-r-r".
You're flat, Becks.
"Air-r-r-r.
" "Air-r-r-r.
" Don't.
One more time.
"Air-r-r-r-r.
" "Air-r-r-r-r.
" That was sharp.
Laura! I've got a present for you! It'll be shit.
Presents! Presents! Presents! Presents! I love Christmas.
I am so fucking happy that it's Christmas.
Happy Christmas, Laura.
Aaaaah.
Thanks so much, Shelly.
You've got to be careful with Shelly, if you criticise her, she spazzes out.
It's from me, Kieran and Dan.
Aw.
That's so nice.
Thanks, Shell.
Thanks, Kieran.
Give her our one, Paul.
Ho-ho-ho.
Merry Christmas.
Oh, that's nice, Shell.
That is lovely.
What a lovely present.
Yeah, I like that, yeah.
Do you like it, Laura? Yeah.
It's nice.
It's an antique.
Mmm.
An antique, great! I thought you could wear it for your "Something old" as your "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
" Mmm, I'll do that.
I'll definitely, definitely do that.
Can I take a photo of you wearing it? No.
Oh, how lovely.
Thanks, Laura.
I just think it's better to let someone get what they want rather than giving them something they'll never wear.
Who wants to sing? Becky does.
Yay! Go Becks! Laura, can I have a go on that? Testing, testing.
1-2, 1-2.
Testing 2-2.
Did you bring the champagne, Shell? Erm, yeah.
Champagne! Let's have it then, don't be a Scrooge.
Yeah, don't be a Scrooge, Shelly.
Laura.
It's not good for the baby, remember.
He'll like it, it's fizzy.
You can have one glass.
Oh, Paul, when have you ever known me to have one glass of anything? I'll just get this off and then we can Wha-hay! Lovely.
Mmm.
Pour it.
Pour it! Pour it! Pour it! Pour it! Could you show me where the glasses are? Yep.
Bring in my Christmas crackers, yeah? Will do.
I've got these amazing crackers, Shell, they've got whistles in them.
Right, who wants to sing? CHEERING PAUL: I can't believe it's gone three and I'm still not wearing a paper hat.
I think I'll head off after this.
Oh, no.
Really? Yeah.
That's a shame.
This is good stuff.
Yeah? Yeah.
Very nice.
Yeah.
That Shelly's a good-looking girl, isn't she? Yeah.
She's nice.
Yeah.
Great.
Thanks.
Do you recycle? Nah.
Right then.
Upwards and onwards! I should probably get going, then.
It was nice to see you.
Yeah.
It's great.
It's great to see you.
Happy Christmas! Yes! Happy Christmas! Great times! I, erm, I got you something.
It's only little.
I didn't want to give it to you in front of everyone else.
You didn't need to get me anything.
I didn't have any paper.
Thanks.
I used to read it to you.
I know you did.
They had it on Amazon.
Oh, don't do that, Steve.
Oh, come on.
Don't do that.
Thanks.
It's just something silly.
What are you doing for the rest of the day? Oh, you know.
I've got some bits and pieces to do.
I've got to phone Suzanne.
Goldeneye's on.
You? We're going round Becky's parents' for tea.
Oh Yeah Not good? What are they like? Her dad's such a prick.
Is he? You'd hate him.
What does your mum think? She hates him more than I do.
I look forward to meeting him! So what time are you going round there? Six.
I suppose I could stay till then.
If you didn't mind? No, of course not.
It'd be nice.
Yeah? Yeah.
Thanks.
Thank you.
KARAOKE STARTS UP Oh god, that Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall Becks! I'm all right.
You carry on.
Come on! It's the time that every Santa has a ball.
Becks - harmonies! In a minute, yeah? Does he ride a red nosed reindeer? Does a ton-up on his sleigh Do the fairies keep him sober for a day? Come on Becks! It's the chorus, baby! So here it is, merry Christmas Everybody's having fun.
Let Becky do a solo! Steve! Look to the future now It's only just begun.
Solo! Solo! Solo! Solo! Are you waiting for the family to arrive? Louder, Becks.
Use your diaphragm.
Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside? You should hear yourself, Becks.
You sound fucking awful! You take over, I'm not as good as you.
I think we can all hear that! You little bastard! So, here it is, merry Christmas Everybody's having fun Come closer, come closer and listen The beat of my heart keeps on missing I notice it most when we're kissing Come closer and love me tonight Come closer and cuddle me tight My heart goes boom-bang-a-bang when you are near Boom-bang-a-bang all the time It's such a lovely feeling When I'm in your arms Don't go away, I want to stay My whole life through Boom-bang-a-bang Close to you.
