Around 30 people became stranded in a Yorkshire pub as Britain's highest boozer has been blanketed in thick snow.
Once again, customers and staff at the Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire ended up snowed in at the charming hillside pub when winter hit the UK hard.
The staff have, as in previous years, embraced this extreme lock-in and have been putting on live entertainment for their stranded punters.
While their first night seemed to consist of card games and film screenings, last night the wheels really came off and things escalated fast. You can see the hangovers brewing through the screen.
In one clip, a man kicks his shoes across the bar and scoops up one of his fellow weather-stricken peers.
In another video, a person dressed in a giant teddy bear suit becomes embroiled in a dance-off.
Meanwhile outside, the snow sits thickly on the beer garden furniture and the roads are visibly impassable.

Live-streamed videos from inside the beautiful pub have shown everything from calm meals to cosy movie nights to full-blown parties, with the stranded customers dancing on stage, even choreographing their own dance routines.
Guests trapped at Tan Hill Inn have come from all over the UK and beyond, with one couple visiting from the Northern Territory in Australia before the weather turned on them.
Thankfully, today, the last vehicle managed to get away from The Tan Hill Inn, leaving behind what looked like a very surreal but very fun few days.
The pub is now closed, and all access roads leading to it are blocked, with snow ploughs not travelling up.
Britain's greatest lock-in has caught the imagination of the nation, with Greater Manchester's Nighttime Economy Advisor Sacha Lord writing: "This is what real hospitality looks like…
"Despite being snowed in with dozens of punters, the owners and staff at North Yorkshire’s Tan Hill Inn, Britain’s highest pub, have gone above and beyond.
"From keeping everyone fed and watered to putting on themed nights with games and music, they’ve turned a potential crisis into a community story. Hats off to the entire team.
"This is the heart of what makes British pubs so special, and I hope the extra publicity drives good business for the Tan Hill Inn this summer. Give them a follow on @thetanhillinn_."
Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.
Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.
We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.
And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.
We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.
The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.
The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.
Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.
"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"
Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.
Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.
We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.

Early flight? Breakfast is available until 11am with options including fluffy waffles, French toast bites, chicken and waffles drenched in maple syrup as well as traditional cooked breakfasts and American-style bagels.
Those travelling later in the day can tuck into smash burgers, chicken wings, loaded hot dogs, gooey mac and cheese and even a BBQ platter complete with ribs, corn and wings.
There’s also a menu specifically designed for the little ones, featuring waffles, beans on toast and scrambled eggs on toast, alongside burgers, chicken tenders and mac and cheese throughout the day.
And if you fancy a drink before take-off, because it wouldn't be a trip to the airport without a tipple, Monty’s has that covered too.
There's freshly poured pints on offer as well as cocktails, or you can have the proper American experience with a 'hard shake' - their classic thick milkshakes but made boozy.
