Wait, have you not seen "Scrooged" with Bill Murry? Also, you now need to watch the Hallmark production with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge. (There's also the 1951 version with Alastair Sim as Scrooge and George Cole as younger Scrooge...although I suspect you have no idea who they are. Would give you an in to the original St Trinians movies though...)

2024-12-08 22:32:24 +0000 UTCFor around 26:48 - My guess would be that the poulterer is going to prep and cook the turkey for the Cratchits and deliver it to them: there were community kitchens/bakeries during this time, where people would bring their prepped doughs, for example, to a place that had the oven going all day. They'd put an identifying mark on their food; the runners of the oven would cook everything, and then the people would come back and pick it up. Since this is a surprise for the Cratchits, and if I'm correct, Scrooge would have arranged for the turkey to be cooked at this place, and have hired someone to bring it to Camden when the food is done. Oh. Well, forget everything I said....!

2024-12-08 16:07:28 +0000 UTCWhen the ghost of Christmas Present mentions his brothers he is talking about other Christmases. He asks "Have you never walked forth with any of my older brothers born these later years?" - He is asking "haven't you enjoyed any of the last few Christmases?" They are his older brothers. That's why he says he has "Over 1800!" This is set in the mid 1800s.

2024-12-08 16:04:35 +0000 UTCI think you've watched "Doctor Strangelove", and if you have, then you have seen the great and difficult George C. Scott as General Turgedson (sp), he who fell over a chair in excitement, and dared to fight the Russian ambassador in the War Room. Sweet Mr. Crachit is cast against type as David Warner steps in: he was the gunman in "Titanic", and the Photographer in "The Omen". Usually a villain or, at the least, untrustworthy, Warner makes a surprisingly effective gentleman here. If you have watched later seasons of "Cheers", our nephew here will be familiar to you as a recurring character in that series, as a rather stuck up and unpleasant person. The actor is Roger Rees, a classically trained mostly stage actor, who does a lovely job here.
