The residents finish their Christmas preparations, which include Julie relishing the task of making 16 roast dinners for her family and friends, and Sue rallying the street to raise the £500 needed to hire reindeer and a sleigh in the hope of making the festive season for her best friend's disabled son as special as possible. However, the new year brings tragic news that devastates everyone on King's Road.
