2018 Christmas Special
Premiered on RTÉ 2 on 24th Dec 2018
Held at gun point by paramilitaries Jimmy and Martin, and with their TV broken and house surrounded Bridget, Eamon and their neighbours must act out popular TV shows to keep the IRA entertained and stay alive. They might just get away with it as long as Jimmy doesn’t ask them to perform “Dirty Dancing”…
