Plot
Edit
Emily invites Phyllis to spend Christmas with Percy and her. Terry and Curly discover that Sam has swindled them over the rat as it is still at large. Phyllis insists Emily doesn't tell Percy that she's joining them; she wants it to be a surprise. Sam passes his ferret off as a rodent in order to claim more rat-catching money from Terry and Curly. Sam wins Percy's Christmas pudding in the raffle. Gail throws a hen party for Audrey. Her girlfriends arrive and liven it up. The Tilsleys' neighbour Ernie Ratcliffe complains about the noise and ends up being pounced on by the women. Alf gets drunk at his stag party and sits on Sam's Christmas pudding. Sam searches for his pudding.
