Do you think she wants something?

For what, Frank?

Well, you know.

Something I can't give her.

What are you talking about?

To body feeding.

No, no, she just wants to go to sleep.

And so do I.

outside. This has upset my system.

Well, don't disturb Jessica, Frank.
We've had enough trouble as it is.

Well, she's only woken up three times
tonight.

I don't think you're getting her night
trained.

I guess I could get you night trained.

It's not my fault. It's that new coffee
you bought.

It's got too many beans in it.

Will you just hurry up and don't make
any noise?

I won't.

Did you leave my toolkit in the toilet?

Of course I didn't. You brought it up to
do Jessica's nursery.

Who's that?

Are you expecting anyone?

It's at three o 'clock in the morning,
I'm not.

I'll go.

Who is it?

Next door, open up.

My God, I've had just about enough of
you. We've lived in a house next door

a week and we haven't had a decent
night's sleep since we came.

One disturbance after another who
crashes, bangs, stumps, babies, crying.

This is our final warning.

One more sign of you and I'll put you
under my arm, carry you up those stairs

and drop you from a great height.

Talking to me like that through my own
letterbox?

Marry me up and drop me.

I'm bigger than I look.

I'm a man.

Who was it, Frank?

Mr Jackson, our new neighbour from next
door.

It's not often I lose my temper, Betty.

Oh, you didn't have a fight?

It was a hair's breadth.

If he hadn't left when he did, I was
just on the verge.

And all these rows are upsetting
Jessica.

It's no wonder she can't sleep.

No, that's just the excitement of
Christmas coming.

This is our first Christmas.

Who's going to see the Queen on
Christmas Day, then?

Yes.

No, she'll be all right once we get back
into our normal routine.

Frank, this...

You get a bit depressed sometimes.

Well, that's natural.

See, that's after the baby.

It's called the post -natal depression.

The doctor said that after you've had
the baby, you might feel that life

worth living.

I've felt like that for a long time.

Well, you've got a lot to look forward
to. Look, we've got a lovely baby.

And she's got ever such a good memory.

Do you know that when we went past the
labour exchange on Sunday, she sat up in

her pram and tried to get out.

We've got to think of all the things
we've got to look forward to.

Well, I can think of two things.

Yes, I'm going for a new job tomorrow.

See? That's cheered you up a bit, isn't
it?

Oh, yes.

What's the other thing?

Well, you know, what we'll do every
Christmas.

Let us lie down here, my love, and see
what may befall.

Oh, the nativity play.

You know, I don't think Father O 'Hara
wants me to be in it this year.

Of course he does. I've made that quite
clear to him.

I said, unless... If I'm playing Joseph,
I'm not going to do it unless Betty's

in it as well.

See, he's got to use you, otherwise I
just refuse to go on.

Do you want to run for a few lines?

No! No!

No,

no, not now, Frank. We don't want Mr
Jackson round here again, do we?

I don't think we should see any more of
Mr Jackson.

Not after what I've said to him
downstairs.

I think we've seen the last of Mr
Jackson.

Tired, Mr. Jackson?

Oh, I've been sleeping very well lately.
We could do with an extra man in here.

Yes, I know. I'm seeing someone about
that at four o 'clock. Oh, if he turns

Oh, talk of the devil.

Mr. Spencer?

Yes? I'm Mr. Hudson, and this is my
foreman.

Mr.

Jackson. You two know each other? Oh,
yes.

I didn't think you worked here. I
thought you was a commercial traveller.

Commercial traveller? Yeah, with all
them boxes that you bring home.

Boxes? What boxes? All those boxes. I
just moved out, so I was moving in a few

odds and ends.

I see.

Did the labour exchange tell you
anything about this job?

Oh, no, I didn't come via the labour
exchange. I come via Group Captain Duff.

What, Tony Duff? You know old Duffy?

Yes, I do. Through the RAF Association,
of which I am a member.

I thought I had them on.

My braces.

Braces?

RAF braces.

I wear them occasionally.

I was at the station with Duffy, a
splendid fellow.

Right then, Mr Spencer, if you'd like to
report back at 8 o 'clock tomorrow, Mr

Jackson will show you what to do. He
might not be suitable for the job, but

very heavy work.

You're perfectly fit, aren't you? Clean
bill of health?

Oh, yes.

Well, I was at my RAF medical nine years
ago.

Nine years?

Haven't you had a check -up since then?

Well, it was for air crew.

Oh, I see.

Well, that's good enough for me.

Tomorrow it is, then.

I used to be air crew myself, you know.

Biggin Hill.

Hurricanes. Oh.

Yes, it was very windy when I was there,
too.

Is that you, Frank?

Oh, it's good to be home again.

It's been a long afternoon.

How did you get on?

I start tomorrow.

Oh, that's marvellous. Yes, I've been
working under Mr Jackson.

You know, our new neighbour from next
door.

Yes. Well, that's good, isn't it? I
mean, it'll give you a chance to become

friends.

Hmm.

Well, how's my little girl been today?

Eh? How's my little Jessica been?

Is Daddy's garden?

Yes.

Look. She's got hands just like my
mother's.

She broke her rattle this afternoon.

Who's going to see the Queen on
Christmas Day, then?

Yes.

She likes that.

You know, Frank, you really must try and
take it a lot easier this year. Last

winter, you got very tired, didn't you?

Well, I had to go on a three -day week,
didn't I?

You'd never really worked. that long
before they do.

I'll go.

And you're going to get your big tree.

It's going to go right up to the ceiling
and we're going to have lots of lights

on. And on the top, we're going to have
a fairy.

Good afternoon, Father.

Mr Spencer.

Would you like to sit down? Can I get
you a cup of tea? Oh, no, thank you. No,

mustn't stop long. No, I've just been
discussing the arrangements for the

nativity plane.

Oh, yes. And, uh...

We were hoping we could rely on you for
the Virgin Mary again, Mrs. Spencer. Oh,

I would be most delighted.

Thank you. See, I told you didn't I? She
was very good last year, wasn't she?

Yes, indeed. A splendid performance.

The only trouble now is we still haven't
got a baby for the infant Jesus, and I

was wondering if little Jessica... Oh,
what a marvellous idea!

And then we'd have all the family in it,
wouldn't we?

Yes, I wanted to talk to you about that.
You see, I feel, or rather the

committee feels, that I think we...
Well, the important thing is we now have

baby. Excuse me. Yes.

Jessica's a girl.

I know that.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong.

But the baby Jesus was a little boy.

I am aware. Look, no -one's going to
know, though, are they, Frank?

Well, Jessica will, won't she?

Exactly. I mean, she's too young to know
that it's just pretend.

We're proposing she thinks it's for
real.

I'm not quite sure that I follow you.

Oh.

Look, we've always told Jessica that
she's a little girl.

Now, if we start telling her she's
suddenly a little boy, she won't know

she's coming or going, will she?

I hardly think we could... No, it's only
a play, Frank.

Exactly. This is the child's mind you're
dealing with, Betty.

This sort of thing could lead to all
kinds of problems.

Well, what problems?

Well, you know.

Yes, you do.

You've seen those things in the paper.

There was a case in this very road.

You know?

That Miss O 'Hara.

She's no relation, is she?

Certainly not.

Is she the one who started the woman's
football team? That's right.

She's got all that.

It's rumoured now that she's smoking a
pipe.

It's a maze game.

Well, you know, I don't want Jessica
growing up with those sorts of habits.

I know about these sort of things.

When I was a little boy, my mother
dressed me up as a little girl.

But it didn't affect you, though, Frank,
did it?

What do you think first started off my
trouble?

All she has to do is lie in the manger
and we'll both be there to keep an eye

her, won't we? Well, I certainly hope
that Mr Spencer will come and see the

play.

I'll be there, won't I? Up there is
Joseph.

You know the bit I like the best is when
I first come on and I'm pulling the

donkey and all the little children point
at me and say, Ooh!

Yes, well, you see...

That's really what I wanted to talk to
you about.

I wanted to say, or rather the committee
feel that, well, we ought to have a

change round this year, Mr Spencer, and,
well, we've asked Mr

Hunter to play Joseph.

Mr Hunter?

I see.

Oh, good, good.

Well, I knew you'd understand.

Well, now, I'll see you get a copy of
the script, and let's make this a

production to remember, shall we?
Father? Yes?

I don't want to be any trouble, but I'd
rather not play the angel of the Lord

again this year, if you don't mind.

I played her before and brought all I
could to the role.

Yes, well, thank you, but you see, Mr
Spencer, we have already cast that part.

Ah, good.

Yes.

Poof.

I don't mind considering King Herod.

No, I'm afraid that's... Let's see, now,
that's Mr Jennings.

The wise men?

No, we're all right for them, thank you
very much.

The innkeeper?

That's Mr Armstrong.

Well, goodbye again, and I'll see you
get the script in. What part am I

playing? Dear, I thought I'd explained
that.

No.

Well, you're not in it.

Not in it?

But I'm always in it.

I've been in it for years.

Now, please, let go, Mr Spencer, please.

Now, I thought you might take it just a
little more calmly.

Who's been casting the aspersions about
me?

Who's been putting it in? No, no, no.

And who's made his costume?

Mrs Spencer, I think I'll have that cup
of tea after all, please.

Now, let's sit down, Mr Spencer, and
let's try and behave with a little

shall we? Oh, given my own... to that
production. Year after year I've had

ideas. It was my idea to have the first
real -life donkey.

Yes, we certainly appreciate your
efforts, Mr Spencer.

But you see, well, to be quite honest,
we felt that your performance as Joseph

last year was, well, it was a little
lacking in reverence.

I wasn't the only one who fell off the
stage.

I know that. And I know I come on a bit
late.

But the donkey did a whoopsie in the
corridor.

bucket.

Now, Mr. Spencer, the whole point of
this nativity play is that it should be

inspiration to people. A message of
peace and goodwill, Mr. Spencer. Peace

goodwill, Mr. Spencer. And in view of
that, you're a fracker with a shepherd

scene three. You're a fracker with a
shepherd in scene three with a little

of disgraceful.

He had his crook stuck up my leg.

I only pushed him.

Mr Spencer, you were late for scene one.
You had cramp in scene two.

You turned scene three into a wrestling
match.

And finally you rolled right off the
stage and ended up on Father O 'Reilly's

lap.

Well, look, if I can't be...

On the stage itself.

Isn't there something else I could do
instead?

That's a very good idea, Mr Spencer.
You'd do something else instead.

What? What else could I do?

I don't know.

Well, couldn't I be in charge of the
scenery?

I could build you a stable. I've got a
toolkit.

Oh, well, all right. Then, Mr... As long
as you keep completely out of sight of

the audience the entire time. Yes, I
will.

Yes. All right, very well. Then I'll let
you build the scenery.

Oh, thank you, Father.

But I shall be keeping an eye on your
mind. Every moment you're in that church

hall, I shall want to know where you are
and what you're doing.

Especially what you're doing.

He was a carpenter, too.

Tied to your legs.

Rats.

What did you say?

Rat.

You've got rats in your cellar. I've
done when I'm running up my trousers.

Take them off.

I will not.

They might start attacking my upper leg.

I'm a married man.

They could do all kinds of damage. I
told you not to go down to that...

for you. I wanted to help you take your
boxes down. Boxes? What boxes? I never

take no boxes down.

Yes, you do.

Every morning at ten o 'clock. Keep your
voice down.

Every morning at ten o 'clock.

You take your boxes down and then you
put them in that shack in the corner and

then at the end of the day you put them
in your car.

You never saw no boxes.

What did?

Never saw no boxes.

Boy,

it was a bit dark down there.

Right. Anyway, it's not ten o 'clock.
It's eleven o 'clock.

Ah, yes.

Look, my little hand isn't working.

I know two more little hands that aren't
working.

They said it land.

And that it land.

Well, you won't give me any work to do.

Oh, I mean, I'll give you some work to
do.

Oh, look, a crane.

Pete, can I work the crane?

Work the crane.

Work the crane. I like that.

No, you can't. Tear up all this
literature.

Work the crane.

Oh, I must remember that.

Oh, well, he was here a minute ago.

Jackson! I don't wish he wouldn't keep
disappearing like this.

It makes it very difficult for me, too.

Well, I'll have a word with him, if I
can find him. Yes, well, then I can get

with my job.

Yes, well, of course you want to do
that. I understand.

Jackson!

There you are, Jackson. Now, look.

Don't keep Mr. Spencer pottering about
out here. Give him a proper job to do

inside.

Thank you, Mr. Hudson.

Jackson!

He's gone again.

What's Daddy looking at, Jessica?

Daddy's looking at the man in the moon.

Does Jessica want to see the man in the
moon?

There he is. Look.

He's got a face.

He's got a nose and an eye and a little
ear and lots of hair.

Just like Jessica.

Put those things down.

Now, I spy with my little eye.

There. Something beginning with D.

Woof, woof, woof.

It's a dog.

Now, I spy with my little eye.

Something beginning with T.

Yeah,

this one's a bit tricky.

It's a tree.

And now the dog is walking to the tree.

Daddy's going to get Jessica a dog.

The Queen's got a dog.

Who's going to see the Queen on
Christmas Day then?

Yes, you are.

I suppose she's in bed now.

The Queen.

Unless she's walking the dog.

We'll take our dogs for a walk, Jessica.

We'll have some good time.

We can have a... We can have a house and
we're going to...

We're going to go to the pictures, and
we're going to have a dog, and we're

going to do all the things that I did
with my mother.

And then Daddy will show you his
impressionation.

You haven't seen him, have you? You
haven't seen Daddy's long John Silver,

you?

Hey,

we'll avoid him there if it isn't young
Jim Hawkins.

Yes.

And now, here's my Captain Mark
Phillips, without the hat.

Excuse me, sir.

There's a strange man standing under my
tank.

And then, wait a minute.

As leader of the Labour Party, I would
like to say how worried we are about the

tank situation.

Pardon?

And... What about... Now, what do you
think, Ted?

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

I don't care because I've got a boat.

That's one of my best ones.

Right, now.

Okay. All right, Mark lad. Come aboard
with your good lady wife and we'll put

the horses down below.

Oh, that's my leg.

It's gone to sleep.

Yes. Then Jessica should be asleep too.

It's very late, Frank. I was just
settling her down.

You've been up here an hour and a half.

She wanted to hear the end of the story.

Here. You know that Peter the Pixie?

Would a query queen found out that he's
been having a bit of trouble?

Mummy gets a bit tetchy sometimes,
doesn't she, eh?

She gets a bit edgy. What shall we say
goodnight to the man in the moon?

Eh?

Jessica going to wave to the man in the
moon?

That's it.

Goodnight, man in the moon.

Goodnight, man in the moon.

We wave to him.

Goodnight.

It is Mr. Spencer from over the road.

You've got something on your roof.

Have you had any trouble with your
television picture tonight?

Oh.

Well, there wasn't anything good on,
really.

I can tell you what the trouble is.

Yes.

You've got a Chinese lantern wrapped
round your head.

to come over and put my ladder up your
roof.

No.

I told you to keep that window closed,
Frank.

Well, I only opened it for a second just
to wave to the man in the moon.

Well, I know there's not really a man in
the moon, but it looks like one,

doesn't it?

He's got a face with an eye and an ear
and a little nose. Yes, all right,

enough now, Frank.

Got a lot of cards.

Nice to have a lot of cards.

Well, you'll get one soon, Frank.

I mean, it's early yet.

I hope that television back soon. The
repairman said it was going to be a big

job. Well, it usually is.

Well, it's got to be back for Christmas.
I'm banking on it. Jessica wants to see

the Queen.

She's never seen the Queen before.

There you are.

It's all ready now for the tree.

Well, you said you were going to get it
today.

Yes.

I left it outside.

Well, bring it in.

Well, I'm a bit tired now. Why don't we
do it all tomorrow?

Well, I only want to see it, Frank.

Oh, I think so, yeah.

There's no need to be sarcastic.

Well, I mean, what do you expect, Frank?
I am doing my best to make it a nice,

happy Christmas for us and our Chinese
lanterns on the roof and our Christmas

trees at Calais.

It wasn't my fault. There was this old
lady I tried to help her across the road

because she had a bad leg and then this
big lorry came by and took half me tree

with it.

It's not too bad.

There's still plenty of life there.

It'll look all right when you've got all
the lights on it.

When we get all the lights on it, we
won't be able to see it, will we?

Mummy, it's the same.

Everything that you bring into this
house, it's the same week after week.

Everything you bring in is either torn,
twisted or topless.

Remember what my mother always used to
say when she got worried?

I can't eat and they make me go.

Then go.

I am unloading the thing.

And Mr. Hudson said, would we clear the
other bay for them? Mr. Jackson, come

here, please.

I'm coming.

Mr.

Jackson.

I'm going to tell you something.

What?

It's a bit personal.

But I think I should now.

What is it?

You've wet your trousers.

Jackson, well... Oh, Spencer, take that
out of my car, will you, please?

Jackson, I told you to get that baby
loaded.

Betty. Mr.

Jackson.

More trousers.

Mr. Jackson.

There's a rat under your jacket.

Don't do that. I've got something under
there.

Look, don't do anything.

I'll get a stick and we'll poke it out.

Well, don't leave me long.

I could smoke him.

I don't like the smoke.

I don't like the smoke.

Doesn't seem to be here, does he?

That's funny. Funny?

You think that's funny?

My jacket's burnt. My pipe's broken.

My eggs are squashed.

Yes. Well, give me that.

Like sandwiches, do you?

Yes.

There we are. Nice drop of tea with your
sandwiches.

Like tea with your sandwiches, do you?

And you shake it all about.

And then you give it a kick for
Christmas.

This is what I call funny.

Oh.

Mr. Hudson.

Just having a little joke.

I'm sorry, Mr Hudson. I had this blow on
the head, you see.

Oh, good afternoon, Father.

Well, what do you think of my stable?

Oh, for goodness sake, man, have you no
sense at all? I'd expect them to see

what's going on inside.

No, no, no, no. You see, this is two
sets in one.

First of all, there is the inn with the
innkeeper.

Good health to you.

Well, I must say that that's very
ingenious. Are you quite sure it's safe

Well, it

does seem safe

enough, I must say. You didn't say you
did all this by yourself.

You thought it was going to fall down,
didn't you?

Yes.

Well, I must say, it's a very fine piece
of work, Mr Spencer.

I'm really... I'm really very pleased. I
congratulate you. Well done, Mr

Spencer. Well done.

Can I be in the play now?

No.

No, we've already got all the people we
need. Thank you very much.

Who's holding the donkey?

I could maybe.

Look at my work. Oh, well, in view of
your splendid efforts here, I'll let you

hold the donkey as long as you don't say
anything or do anything. Just hold it.

I will.

I will.

All right. Now, excuse me. I must get
on. No.

I haven't shown you my star trap yet.

Trap? Well, oh, no, no, no, we mustn't
have anything like that. Yes, this is

the angel of the Lord.

You see, down here, I've built a small
compartment.

What? Right under the stage there.

And then over here is this special lever
which you pull. But, but, but... When

you pull it, the angel of the Lord
shoots up through this hole.

This hole then closes, and the angel of
the Lord comes down and... lands on it

safely.

And safety has always been my main
concern on the stage.

Well, now, would you like to go down and
get in the box?

What? Me?

No, no, no, I couldn't. You know, I'm
not at all happy about this little

contraption. Well, I just thought that
seeing as you are the man at the top,

that you would be the first to try it.

Just a once? No.

Well, it looks as though I have to do it
then.

Right. Now, you know what to do, don't
you? No, Mr Spencer, wait, I beg you. Mr

Spencer. You just pull that lever when I
tell you. No, no, come back here, Mr

Spencer.

Don't do anything for it, you know, I
beg you. Where have you got... What?

Right, now... Mr... Mr... Yes, I'm
ready, Father.

Oh, Mr...

I'd go.

I suppose it's better than nothing.

Well, it's quite a responsible job,
looking after the donkey.

I mean, not everyone could do it.

What is it you're looking for?

I've lost a Christmas pudding.

I bought it upstairs.

To show Jessica?

Yes. Well, she's never seen a Christmas
pudding before.

Have you?

Who's going to see the Queen on
Christmas Day, then?

And then we're going to watch Mummy.

Cooked a Christmas dinner.

I used to watch my mother cook a
Christmas dinner.

Only she always used to have a bit of
trouble with the gas cooker.

Because he used to steam up her glasses.

One year, it took her three and a half
hours to stuff the chicken.

Most of that went up his leg.

The following year, she lost her glasses
completely.

Stuffed a cat.

Woke up in time.

Was he all right?

Well, he came to before there was any
permanent damage.

It's the last time he went to sleep on
the kitchen table.

You know, I'm really looking forward to
Christmas this year. Just the three of

us. You don't mind, do you?

Of course not. That's all I want. Just
you and our baby.

Yeah, me too.

I'm going to be a better husband.

And I'm going to be a good father. I'm
going to earn a lot of money. And I'm

going to get the sack anymore.

Here, that Mr Hudson, he said he's got
his eye on me.

That's good, isn't it?

Because who knows? I mean, I could end
up a foreman.

And I'm sure you will, Frank.

Just think of that.

In years to come, they'll look at me and
say, Foreman Spencer.

I'm getting quite excited now.

What is it?

I've got my pudding.

What is it, Jackson?

I don't know.

You caught us on the hop a bit, sir.

We didn't think you'd be in today.

It's the weekend.

None of us would be here if it wasn't
for Jackson's accident.

He's four days behind.

Where is the man?

He came up for his tea about ten.

Came up?

Yes. He'd been down in the cellar. He
said he had a little job to do.

You've both got a little job to do and
I'm paying for it.

Well, I'm just waiting for the toilet to
empty.

I've got a bit of a chill.

Jackson should be here telling you what
to do.

Oh, I know what to do. And I'm going to
do it.

Well, it's about time somebody did.

Ex -air crew.

Stumpy told me you were rejected in less
than a week.

It's an overcrowded profession.

You can move on.

The driver's waiting to go.

Not the king we are looking for. We saw
a star in the east.

A star?

What strange sight is this?

Come on, Rage.

Easy, Rage.

Mr.

Jennings, go on, please. Go on. Go and
search for this child.

Go and search for this child. And when
you have found it...

but I had a bit of trouble getting Reg
up the stairs.

You've not got a good head for heights.

Well, how far you got then?

Scene three, Herod's Palace.

What about the angel of the Lord? Miss
Pilbeam hasn't arrived yet. Do you want

me to step in? We're expecting her at
any minute. Now, can we please get on?

Father. Yes. Father, in the first scene,
we're supposed to have a strong wind

blowing. Yes. Are we going to have any
special effects?

Well, of course you are. That's Mr.

Spencer's department.

Mr. Spencer!

Has someone dropped out?

Mr. Spencer, have you got the wind?

No, no, no, no. For the shepherd scene.
Now, we can't bother with that now. We

must press on.

Scene four.

Scene four, that's me. Yes, I'm afraid
it is.

Now, scene four. Mary, please.

Mary, you're over there.

That's right.

I'll get there. I'll get the crib.

Right, come on.

That's it. My, Reg, stay where you are.

Stay where you are, Reg. She gets a bit
excited. Oh, Mr.

Spencer, please.

You just remember, Jessica, it's only
pretend.

Now, Mary, you're sitting there. Now,
Joseph, please, stand in beside her.

Joseph, over here, please.

You come and stand here. Let go of my
arm. Well, I know where you stand.

It's in my foot.

I know where you stand because I've done
Joseph before.

I was, in fact, the original Joseph in
this parish.

Come on, you sit behind me.

Gentlemen,

please, what's going on here? He's got
my arm.

Come in and send me Nelson here.

I don't care what you're in. Mr.
Spencer, will you kindly leave the

You nearly had me over the edge there.
Get over there, please.

Listen, when I was the baby Jesus, the
man with the donkey stood much closer.

When you were the baby Jesus, the man
with the donkey did as he was told.

Now, listen, the donkey holder doesn't
have a vitally important part in this

scene, and I think you'd better leave
the stage altogether.

No, I'm sorry, Mrs Spencer.

I can't have these continual
interruptions upsetting the rest of the

been harassed as well.

I've had a lot of worry about my
costume. Yes, we're all worried about

costume. No, no, no, well, that's all
right. It'll be all right as long as you

doesn't rush about.

Bend over?

Bend over, heaven forbid.

No, I'm afraid that's my final decision,
Mrs. Spencer. Now, can we please get

on?

I'm joining the Methodists next year.

Father, father, father.

What is it? I just had a message, a
phone message from Miss Kilbin.

She's sick with the mumps. Oh, no.

Those were mumps?

She's our angel of the Lord.

This is the final rehearsal.

Thank you for giving her the money. What
could we do?

Give her the money.

Mr.

Spencer.

Yes? I wonder if you... I'll be ready in
two minutes.

Well, what else could I do?

Cut the scene out. Don't have the angel.

No, Mr.

Hunter, you can't possibly have a
nativity play without the angel of the

It's the most beautiful part.

When the angel says those wonderful
words from the gospel.

Get your hand off that.

I think perhaps we're being a little
hasty.

But I've got everything ready.

I know all my lines and the sandbags are
in position.

Sandbags?

It's just for getting me up and down,
see?

It's a question of weight distribution.

Look, Frank, are you sure you'll be all
right?

Yes. I just need a hand because I'm a
little different from the weight of Miss

Pilbom. So if I could have a volunteer
around here, please.

Mr. Hunter. Oh, my God. Mother.

Yes, you mustn't. Don't take the name of
the Lord your God in vain. Get on with

you. Now, I'll explain what you have to
do.

And you turn the light on. I'm not
having you around here in the dark.

Right, Father, you can start now.

Now, come along, shepherds, please.

And cue.

It's a cold night, brother.

The sheep are restless.

Pull that hard.

What's that strange noise I hear?

Oh, not that hard.

That made my eyes water.

Music. A heavenly choir.

Right, up a bit.

Up a bit more.

No!

Put another bag on!

For Andrew Yu is born this day in the
city of David.

He's born in the city...

David.
