DESCRIPTION
A television adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas tale of the miser Ebenezer Scrooge.
Sinopsis by IMDBA Christmas Carol S01 complete (BBC, 2019) (1280x720p HD, 50fps, soft Eng subs)
An original take on Dickens's iconic ghost story from the creator of Peaky Blinders.
E01
Misanthropic businessman Ebenezer Scrooge refuses to treat Christmas as different to any other day, much to Bob Cratchit's chagrin, as he is desperate to leave work and get home to his family on Christmas Eve.
Scrooge's dead former business partner Jacob Marley begs for peace in his coffin. Although he has repented, the Spirits have news for him. He will linger in purgatory until Scrooge repents, something Marley knows he will never do.
E02
At the Cratchits, Mary cannot sleep. Bob asks to discuss where the money for Tim's operation came from after Christmas.
In the Graveyard of Christmas Past, Marley reports back to the Spirit of Christmas Past - Scrooge thinks everything Marley said was Humbug. Marley despairs. The Spirit walks off singing.
At Scrooge's house, the shutters blow open. Scrooge brandishes his poker at the offending snow. He hears the tinkle of a bell behind them. On opening, he finds a small white mouse, which he recognises as Erasmus, his childhood pet. Scrooge is surprised, mistrusting and delighted, but hardening his heart against the spirits, throws the mouse out of the window. Scrooge congratulates himself on the success of rationality, but it is not yet midnight.
As midnight strikes, he hears singing coming up the stairs. Scrooge reacts with horror at the man's voice - his father, Franklin Scrooge. The father he buried many years ago. He struggles to lock the door, but his father bursts through anyway. Franklin talks to Scrooge about how he was bankrupted this afternoon. Scrooge prays for him to go away, while Franklin bitterly talks about how all of humanity are beasts, only looking out for themselves. He turns on Scrooge, and on Erasmus. Scrooge explains how the mouse was a gift, but Scrooge relives Franklin grabbing the mouse and cutting off its head.
The figure of Franklin transforms into that of the Spirit. Scrooge refuses to beg the Spirit for forgiveness, which triggers the Spirit's curiosity. The Spirit picks up a nearby hat and spins it. Light comes from the hat, and the walls are filled with Magic Lantern projections of children laughing and singing and dancing. The figures seem to be in the room, suddenly Scrooge is hit by a snowball and finds himself in the middle of a snowy field surrounded by these children playing.
Scrooge hides out of the way behind a train of carriages. He decides the sherry he drank earlier had been spiked with laudanum. Scrooge realises he recognises some of these boys from school. A figure nearby confirms this as fact; Scrooge realises that the figure is Ali Baba, Scrooge's only childhood friend.
Ali Baba leads a reluctant Scrooge across the common to Black Bridge Boarding School on camels. Scrooge is faced with his former, abusive headmaster. He tries to attack him but cannot. Inside the dormitory they find young Scrooge reading, dreaming of Ali Baba, overshadowed by the domineering headmaster. Suddenly Lottie, Scrooge's sister, bursts into the school. She is here to take young Scrooge home for Christmas. She sends him out to wait in the carriage. The headmaster protests, but young Scrooge has already left. The headmaster turns on Lottie, but she pulls out a gun. She reassures the headmaster that she will shoot him if he follows her.
Outside the school, young Lottie & Scrooge's carriage rides off. Scrooge looks after them. Ali Baba transforms back into the Spirit. Scrooge tries to rationalise how he is now as a cause of what happened to him, a reason, an excuse. The Spirit says they must dig deeper into Scrooge's soul and with that he transforms into a Miner and he and Scrooge sink into the ground.
Scrooge and the Miner are in the Scrooge & Marley Trechloddfa Coal Mine. Men, women, children and ponies are mining in the dark hot pit. Scrooge reaches out to one of the ponies. The Spirit/Miner explains how Scrooge & Marley had cut down the mine's excessive use of timber to support the roof. They witness the mine collapsing, the flood of coal dust, the fleeing injured and the panic of those trapped there. Another part of the mine collapses, and it goes dark.
The Spirit lights a match and is transformed into a Businessman. He hauls Scrooge after him, into a working cotton mill, where we witness the start of Scrooge and Marley's global profiteering. Scrooge and Marley are completing a business exchange for ownership of the mill. The Spirit/Businessman is delighted about the pure profit that they are witnessing and takes Scrooge back into what was the mill space but is now filled with looms printing money. The Businessman and Scrooge talk about the profits that Scrooge was making, but when Scrooge mentions his life, the Spirit/Businessman takes him aside. They enter a travelling show tent where he transforms back into the Spirit and shows Scrooge visions of the life he would have had with his former love Elizabeth if he had been able to commit to her instead of constantly seeking profit.
The Spirit leads Scrooge into another memory - when Scrooge committed an evil that was not even for profit. We see Mary Cratchit giving birth, and a concerned Bob outside. We move to Christmas Eve 7 years ago, Scrooge is in his office. Mary arrives, she explains that her son is ill, and they need money for his operation. Scrooge is her last hope. Scrooge agrees to give her the money, on the proviso that she come to his house the next day and do everything that Scrooge asks of her.
E03
Christmas Day 1836, Mary Cratchit struggles through the streets to Scrooge’s house. Scrooge lets her in, asks that she specify the terms of their agreement. Mary is mortified: Scrooge has offered her the money in exchange for intercourse. Impatient to be done, Mary starts removing her clothes. Scrooge says it was an experiment about the price of virtue, she can take the money and go. He promises he won’t tell a soul, unless Bob ever leaves his employment. Mary summons Spirits and curses Scrooge.
Scrooge suggests that as Tim lives still, perhaps he did a good thing? The Spirit turns on Scrooge – his time is up. The next Spirit will come.
In the Graveyard of Christmas Past, Marley realises there might not be hope for Scrooge or him. He sees the next Spirit, recognises them.
In Scrooge’s house, he practises saying Merry Christmas. Behind him, a figure appears. It is Lottie. She has come back from the dead to be his second Spirit. Lottie leads Scrooge out of the house onto the streets for an experiment of her own. They arrive at the Cratchit house. Bob and Mary are making do and mending and creating their own Christmas gifts. The children rush in excited. We see their Christmas day play out – the goose on the table, the laughter – until an offhand remark by Belinda about Mary missing Christmas pudding brings Bob and Mary’s anxieties to the fore. Mary runs into the yard: she’ll tell Bob where she got the money for Tim’s operation from. She lies, says that she took diamonds from her sick and elderly aunt. Bob is delighted that she has told him the truth. Bob, buoyed, tells everyone inside that he has news – a new job. He will no longer work for Scrooge. Mary sheds a tear, tells Bob they will have to talk again after Christmas. Scrooge goes to reassure her, but Mary sees him and shouts for him to get out of her house.
Lottie takes Scrooge to Trechloddfa Chapel for their Mine Memorial Service, and he witnesses the healing in the community. Lottie shows Scrooge their memorial for the ponies that died too. Scrooge is shaken by the good of these people. He apologises to Lottie for the way he behaved towards her, that he wishes he had been able to love her. She says that her time is up – the next visitor will be the Spirit of Christmas Future.
Scrooge returns to the Chapel, now derelict. He is met by the Future Spirit. His mouth is sewn shut as he cannot speak the future. Scrooge says he is ready for whatever the Spirit will show him.
The Spirit takes him to Scrooge’s office, where Bob writes a resignation letter. Belinda bursts through the door – Tim has had an accident. As she recounts how Tim snuck out of the house to go skating and Scrooge sees the re-enacted on the ceiling of the office, as if we were suspended under ice. The ice cracks, and Tim plunges through.
In the Cratchits’ house, Tim is gravely ill. Scrooge and the Future Spirit sit in the Cratchits’ yard. Scrooge asks how things can be changed; the Spirit indicates it is in Scrooge’s power. Tim, ghostly, appears in the yard. Scrooge follows him back inside, begging Tim to live. The Future Spirit grabs Scrooge and hurls him out of the house, down to the pond, onto the ice. The ice cracks. He falls through and lands back in his bedroom at his home where he is confronted by the sight of his own dead body. Scrooge says he doesn’t care what happens to him.
Suddenly Scrooge and Future Spirit are in the churchyard, watching Scrooge’s gravestone be pissed on. We see the Cratchits arrive with picnic items and gather round a grave. Scrooge cries out - what is the purpose of showing him this? It is Marley who answers. He asks Scrooge to at least admit that they were wrong, but Scrooge refuses, he doesn’t deserve redemption. All he wants is for the life of Tim to be spared. With these words, the Spirits assemble behind Scrooge and turn away. We see Jacob settling down in his coffin for eternal rest. Scrooge sees that Tim’s grave is gone.
Scrooge runs down the high street. He slips on some gravel, a lady comforts him and apologises for not having sprinkled gravel on the spot previously. He thanks her and takes the gravel. He makes his way to the pond and pours gravel on it so Tim cannot skate on it.
As the Cratchits are having their Christmas lunch, Scrooge turns up. He explains that he knows Bob is resigning and will offer him money for thanks for his service and is shutting the company down. He explains he has put the pond out of action. Mary ushers him to the door. His money will be welcome, but it shall not buy forgiveness. Scrooge doesn’t want forgiveness. He thanks her for summoning the Spirits.
Mary looks out the window. There is still much to do.
