"The romcom originally included a relationship between the headmistress (Anne Reid) of the school that hosts the final Christmas concert, and her partner Geraldine (Frances de la Tour). Deleted scenes show the headmistress return from school to find her partner, who is terminally ill, in bed. They laugh and drink wine, before it cuts to them sleeping in bed together, Geraldine painfully coughing."
"In a later scene that was also cut, Karen (Emma Thompson) gives a speech at the concert while the headmistress sits in the audience wearing dark glasses, and says: "I'd just like to say to our headmistress, on behalf of all the parents, that we think it's very brave her being here today in light of her recent loss. "Geraldine was a wonderful and wicked woman, and sorrow is particularly hard at Christmas.""

Deleted scenes show the headmistress returning from school to find her terminally ill partner in bed; they laugh, drink wine, and are later shown sleeping together while Geraldine coughs. A cut concert scene features Karen (Emma Thompson) giving a speech that acknowledges the headmistress's recent loss and describes Geraldine as "a wonderful and wicked woman," noting that sorrow is particularly hard at Christmas. Director Richard Curtis later said he regretted removing the storyline.
