Ben and Susan arrive for Christmas Eve in Hebburn and bring Susan's mum Millie, who locks horns in a fight to granny death with Dot.

Jack and Sarah fly in from Switzerland with tales of the whitest snow and the greatest university, but soon reveal that their life isn't quite so chocolate box. Ben's car is stolen and Ramsey is enlisted as the closest thing Hebburn has to a private detective, but it means they're all stuck in the family home for Christmas.

Eventually Pauline and Susan forge an unlikely bond over the festivities, as do Dot and Millie, mainly because everyone else hates them.
