It鈥檚 Jim鈥檚 big night and Jazzer comes to the rescue.
Kirsty and Philip can鈥檛 wait to host their first 鈥榩ost-Christmas dinner鈥� together. Jim catches Kirsty and Philip playing on the roundabout and berates them for their behaviour; it鈥檚 no wonder the playground is so dilapidated. Kirsty proudly explains that Philip is going to be renovating the playground at cost price as a Christmas present to Ambridge. Philip surprises both Kirsty and Jim with the news that he鈥檚 bought two tickets to the opening night of Jim鈥檚 Ghost Stories performance.
At Greenacres, Alistair quietly admits to Jazzer that only four people have bought tickets for Jim鈥檚 performance that night. Jazzer rallies and agrees they have to do something. They can鈥檛 see the Prof humiliated. Jazzer rushes into the Tearooms where he persuades Helen and Lee to watch the production.
With two minutes until the curtain call, only four people have showed up to watch the Ghost Stories. Jazzer is oddly calm, and right on cue a crowd of residents from The Laurels arrive. Jazzer called in on Christine and she spread the word 鈥� on the condition that Alistair covered the cost of their minibus. The opening night is a huge success, and everyone was terrified. Alistair and Jim hear rumours that one man was so scared he fainted, and can鈥檛 contain their laughter when they discover it was Jazzer. Christine comforts him with a stiff drink.
