- If these kids don't see Father Christmas soon, there'll be murder.

So, who's it to be?

- Me.

I've never done it.

- [Siegfried] I don't see why we must repeat this nonsense year on year.

- Everyone else has had a go.

I could do it.

Could be a girl, right?

Me.

I think it'd be quite fun.

I also think the costume would look really different 'cause it fits most burly men.

- Mrs.

H or Helen should play Father Christmas next.

We've had a few lads in now, so I think one of them would be perfect.

- Let's eat, and don't be naughty!

- Maybe we could share.

Could probably both fit in the costume, actually, it's gigantic.

(laughs) - Ready to unleash the hoard?

- As ready as I'll ever be.

- It would also be very, very funny for me.

(chuckles) - Who wants to see Father Christmas?

- Me!

- Merry Christmas.

- Come on then.

- Ho, ho, ho.

- [Child] Hello.

- But I think it'd be fun.

I think she'd certainly be a lot more fun than Richard Alderson who is still my favorite Father Christmas.

- [Richard] How many more of these beggars do I have to see?

(all sniggering) (Richard sighs) - I think Tristan is ready to play our Father Christmas.

I think series one he was an immature little nuisance and he was made to dress up as an elf and was ridiculed.

- No, absolutely not.

(Siegfried chuckling) You know, I actually did get a lump of coal one year.

- Father Christmas must have thought you'd been very bad.

- Oh he did.

He most certainly did.

Not a great deal has changed, to be honest.

- I think he's a captain now.

He's Captain Farnon.

He's ready to play our Father Christmas.

- The real Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, wears green and white and so shall I.

- I think it's about time the real deal turned up.
