Vera has an exhausting Christmas coping with the bar as Jack is sick in bed. Steve tells the police he bought the whisky cheap from a stranger. The police warn him not to waste their time, as he did over his statement about Sean. He is kept in the cells all night but is able to phone Vicky. She pretends to Jim and Liz that everything is okay. Steve returns at 5.00am to find his car has been broken into and his stereo stolen. Vicky despairs of Steve and his attitude. She is amazed when he asks her to buy presents for the family and for herself, from him. Alf goes out collecting with fellow Square Dealers for charity, dressed as Father Christmas. Audrey refuses to buy Alf a Christmas present. Andy chats up Maxine and is surprised when she agrees to go out with him. Curly and Raquel promise each other never to bring up her indiscretion with Des again. Josie is thrilled with her Christmas bike. The Wattses and Wolstenhulmes descend on No.7, both sets of parents annoyed that the wedding was such a secret and both assuming Raquel is pregnant. They are relieved when Curly assures them she isn't. The Duckworths' Christmas dinner consists of soup and sandwiches and Vera falls asleep in the middle of the Queen's speech. Curly tries to explain to the parents why the wedding was so quick, saying they just wanted to be together. Larry Wolstenhulme apologises to Raquel for throwing her out as he senses it was because of that the wedding was a secret. Raquel is emotional about the reconciliation. Vicky buys herself expensive jewellery from Steve. The family meal is ruined when the police arrive with a warrant to search the flat. Vicky becomes hysterical and is comforted by Liz, who turns on Steve.
Les deux premiers épisodes de cette saison 1 de la nouvelle série Doctor Who (nouvelle fiche série à ajouter) sous l’égide Disney+ sont désormais disponibles sur la plateforme.
Ces premiers épisodes promettent beaucoup de charme, de voix et de vivacité de la part du 15e Docteur : Ncuti Gatwa, que l’on connait de Sex Education et sa compagne Ruby, interprétée par Millie Gibson. Ce rafraichissement est surtout l’occasion pour toutes les personnes qui n’ont jamais eu le courage de commencer Doctor Who car « ohlala, autant de saisons, par où commencer ?! » de le faire aujourd’hui. Car même si l’univers canonique regorge de références, il sera possible de pousser pour la première fois la porte du Tardis, sans aucun souci de compréhension.
Pour la première fois, le monde entier peut enfin voir Doctor Who en simultané puisque les épisodes sont mis en ligne sur Disney+. Dans l’épisode de Noël, on faisait la vraie connaissance du 15e Docteur sous les traits de Ncuti Gatwa (brièvement apparu dans l’épisode spécial précédent) ainsi que celle de Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson plus connue pour Coronation Street) et dans ces deux nouveaux épisode, ils vont plonger dans une station orbitale qui farme des bébés ou encore remonter au premier enregistrement d’un album des Beatles.
