With tickets selling fast, Lynda's delighted by the response to her table decoration idea but acknowledges that they need more music to make the Christmas show go with a zing.

The new designs for Bridge Farm packaging look good. Tom might use the same design if he takes 'Tom Archer' into ready meals, which is looking hopeful. He wishes Pat would take more interest but realises she's all over the place. He and Helen feel sorry for her but still agree Pat shouldn't get in touch with Sharon. They don't know she's already done so.

Jim switches on the lights at The Bull and the chain begins. It comes to a standstill at Greenacres but only for a moment as Joe gets distracted with a mince pie. Everyone agrees the lights are lovely.

Neil's annoyed that Tracy and her children are taking over his home. Susan acknowledges it's getting difficult and thinks it would be best if they moved in with her dad and Gary. Neil's not convinced there's room, unless Bert moves into the dining room. The whole place needs re-decorating, which Neil's happy to do if it gets Tracy and the children out of his house. Susan suggests they raise it after Christmas. Neil hopes they can all survive till then.
