Storyline

Geraldine is so popular that everybody wants her round for Christmas dinner so she won't be alone - Jim and Frank, Alice and her family,who are even more bizarre than Alice herself and the Hortons. Geraldine is protective of Hugo when David bullies him and indulges in a sprout-eating contest. As a consequence she has to be taken home on a bulldozer to sleep it off. And then Owen turns up wanting company since he has spent every Christmas alone since 1971. Written by don @ minifie-1

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): The producer of "Songs of Praise" from a previous episode (S1E2- Songs of Praise), returns to have the Vicar marry him. She quotes "Love and marriage, goes together like a horse and carriage" then says "And Cole Porter should know ...." But Sammy Cahn wrote the lyrics for that song. See more »

Quotes

Alice Tinker: Vicar?
Geraldine Granger: Mm-hm?
Alice Tinker: What you looking forward to more than anything else at Christmas this year?
Geraldine Granger: Well, my highlights are going to be Jurassic Park and the Queen's speech, written this year by Ruby Wax, I believe. And what about you?
Alice Tinker: I'm totally excited about your first Christmas sermon; it, it's just going to be an experience I'll never forget.
Geraldine Granger: Alice, my *first* Christmas sermon was last Christmas.
Alice Tinker: Oh, yeah, I forgot.
