At around 1:00 am, Scrooge found himself awakened by a glowing yellow light. "That must be coming from the first of those three spirits.", he thought. And indeed, it was. "Greetings, old chap! I'm the Ghost of Christmas Past (Dr. Robert - Remember him from "The Mystery of the Haunted Pier"?), and I have come to show you how your actions played a part in shaping you into the man you are today." Scrooge was nervous at first, but replied, "As you wish, spirit. Though, how are you gonna do that?" The Ghost said, "Simple! Here, hold my hand." What followed was quite possibly the wildest sky ride Scrooge ever had. When it was over, they found themselves outside a house where a Christmas party seemed to be taking place. Turns out this was during the time when a young Scrooge was an employee of Mr. Fezziwig (Spencer Wilde), and said party was also where he met and fell in love with a beautiful young woman named Isabelle (A Cynthia Lennon lookalike) after she had asked him to dance with her. Sadly, the romance didn't last for long; as the Ghost then told him about how, over time, he grew to love money more than Isabelle and eventually resulted in their break-up. Scrooge began to feel distraught and responded, "I can't bear this anymore, spirit! Just please take me back to the present day!" The Ghost replied, "Your wish is my command, chap. But remember, this was the path that you chose. It is now your personal decision to change for the better." And so, they left.

George and his daughter had just finished their breakfast and were getting themselves prepared to head back to Abbey Road Studios. As they wore their coats, boots, and other winter gear, Laura said, "I'm so excited to take part in the Christmas message with you and my uncles for the first time, daddy George! This is gonna be a real treat." George replied, "So am I, Laura, darling! Even more exciting is that we will be doing our veddy own version of a certain classic, audio drama style! Of course, this was John's idea, and you can thank him for it afterwards." Laura replied, "Oh, how lovely! I'll certainly be keeping that in mind." George responded with a smile and a chuckle. He then took another look at the engagement ring for a while (which he had bought at the start of this month) and gently kissed it. Before long, they drove off, fetched Pattie from her flat, and were on their way to the Studios.
