When Emma asks George if he’s now paid back Eddie for the pheasants, George admits he’s held back some money from selling them to Martyn for reinvestment. Emma tells George she’s not feeling very well, but George shirks helping with tea while she goes to help Fallon out at the Tearoom, pretending he’s doing some college work. When Fallon sends Emma home because she looks so peaky, George surprises Fallon by turning up as Emma’s replacement. Fallon offers to pay George and he quickly accepts.
Lynda and Tony discuss the malicious gossip surrounding Chelsea’s pregnancy and Ben being the dad. But Lynda can’t see any similarities when Tony says it’s like Alan being unreasonable over the stained glass window. Lynda asks Tony about any memories he might have of Christmas presents from times past. When Tony asks why, Lynda stumbles into saying she’s putting a collection of Ambridge residents’ memories of Christmas together. Lynda broaches the subject of gifts, asking whether there were any Tony had asked for from Father Christmas, but didn’t receive. Perhaps musical? She’s thrown when Tony remembers there was – it was when he’d been given a jumper instead of an expected trainset. He then invites Lynda to look at his trainset, which used to belong to John. After a suitable period, Lynda makes her excuses to go but is interrupted by the arrival of Jakob. She’s trapped when Tony suggests that she interviews him too. Lynda then listens as Jakob begins his recollection of many childhood Christmas memories.
