Merry Christmas from Jodi Taylor. It''s time for St Mary''s traditional Christmas jump - even though it''s only September...

St Mary''s has never lacked for enemies, but danger has never been closer to home. A state of war has broken out between St Mary''s and the Women''s Institute - the Raffia Mafia.

Markham, Max, Peterson and Miss Sykes must jump to Restoration London in search of real Christmas pie - the honour of St Mary''s is at stake.

At least that how it all begins, but this is St Mary''s after all...
