Bob ends up stranded on a broken clock tower when Lofty gets scared by a bat and knocks the ladder down. All the while, Muck tells a joke about an elephant in the fridge and starts grumbling when Scoop tells him to let Dizzy get on with her mixing, claiming that "it's not fair". That night, he bumps into Lofty just as Scoop and Wendy find both machines so they can rescue Bob.

Bob will dress up as Father Christmas/Santa Claus for the local school carol concert, but he loses time when Farmer Pickles gets snowed in.
