An EastEnders special by Tony Holland set around Christmas 1942. "Lou, stop feeling so bloody sorry for yourself. There's millions in the same state as you. There's millions a lot worse. You're not the only person in the world trying to get through a war, you know!"

He suddenly has a dream where he can see the ghost of his father Charlie. As he wakes up in a Squat he decides to meet up with his son Ashley and ex-wife Zoe Cotton. It is clear he has not changed one bit as he is up to his old tricks again while some threatening crooks are after him.

Suggs, Richard E Grant, Jo Brand and Greg Rusedski are among the celebrity guests joining host Shane Richie for a right old knees-up in Albert Square with live performances from Lulu and Liberty X, a duet from one of Walford's most popular couples, and a festive feast in the Queen Vic with Mike Reid and Clarissa Dickson Wright.

At Waterloo International railway station, Roy and Pat, who have two tickets to the FIFA World Cup final, are on their way to France via the Eurostar. Having rented a van, Barry, Robbie, Huw and Lenny are already there but become lost due to Robbie choosing to drink alcohol rather than give directions. The group need to reach Paris by 9.30 to pick up tickets for the World Cup from Charlie, who is selling them to Barry.

Pat and Roy come out of the Louvre museum. Roy is enjoying it, but Pat remarks that the Louvre Pyramid looks like a greenhouse. Pat is getting tired of Roy's quick stop tours and asks Roy to slow down. Barry admits to Robbie there are only two tickets, and he has chosen him to have the other. In the bar, Robbie has told Huw and Lenny about the tickets and everyone is annoyed at Barry, so Lenny suggests they draw lots to see who will get a ticket.

In the hotel restaurant, Pat is outraged that Barry is in France and that Roy did not tell her. Pat says it is bad enough thinking of having to go home to Barry without having to share a hotel room with him and the others. Robbie and Huw thank Roy for allowing them spend the night in his hotel room. In a bar, a French woman asks if she can sit next to Robbie, and Robbie becomes love-stricken.
