Young Mum (Episode 3313)

The Young Mum took her daughter Holly to meet Santa Claus (aka Percy Sugden) at Bettabuy in 1991. Holly and her mother were at the front of the queue when assistant manager Curly Watts opened Santa's grotto for the Christmas season on 4th December.

Holly was scared when Santa came over to greet her but he calmed the girl by telling her that she had a lovely name and taking her by the hand to lead her into his grotto. As he did so, he commented disparagingly about the smallness of the grotto, comparing it to his council house in Snowland where he made his toys. Santa's ire elicited a laugh from the girl's mother.
