00:00Hi Prime Minister, how are you?
00:02Yeah, very good. Can you hear me alright?
00:04I can. Can you hear me?
00:06The RAF has obviously taken you around the world,
00:08but here you are going into Christmas without all your family there.
00:13I am, yes.
00:15Yeah, that's correct.
00:17Well, it's not the first time, but it's what we do.
00:20You're heading into the festive period without your family.
00:24We are indeed, yes.
00:25The other thing I learned about you is that you're an Everton supporter.
00:28Yeah, I am, yeah. I don't know if that would be a good thing for me or a bad thing.
00:31I've been looking around to see where I could find any other Everton supporters,
00:35and I found one or two who just wanted to come and say a happy Christmas to you.
00:40So, can I bring them in?
00:42Yeah, of course. Yeah, thank you.
00:45Hello, buddy.
00:47Hiya.
00:51Surprise!
00:54Hello.
00:57Look at that.
01:01Hello.
01:06Oh, look at that.
01:09Look at that. He's transfixed.
01:11Is that your daddy?
01:13Is that your daddy there?
01:16I don't think you were expecting that, Gregory, were you?
01:19I certainly wasn't expecting that, no.
01:23It's fantastic that they're able to see you.
01:25They wanted to come and say happy Christmas.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Wish you all the best.
01:29Merry Christmas from us all.
01:31Say Merry Christmas.
01:32Merry Christmas.
01:33Merry, buddy.
01:35You all right?
01:36Yeah.
01:37It's nice to see you, Mum, isn't it?
01:39Do you want to say anything, like, happy Christmas?
01:42Merry Christmas.
01:44Oh, Merry Christmas to you, buddy.
01:47I'm stuck for words, but I'm quite shocked.
01:49Me either.
01:50We went on a big train.
01:52You went on a big train.
01:53And then, why don't you tell your daddy, what have you seen whilst you've been here in London?
