Bridget & Eamon

With their TV destroyed and being held at gun point Bridget & Eamon must recreate popular TV shows to stay alive.

To prove he’s not “no craic” Eamon gets his 70s rock band back together for a gig.

When Eamon and by association Bridget are barred from the pub, Eamon decides to cook up his own home brew poitín based on an old family recipe. The recipe seems to be nothing more than white spirits and rat poison so when all the neighbours sample it they’re snapped out of the drunken stupor by the fact the dog is dead.

Frank is Eamon’s only friend but from Eamon’s perspective Frank won’t leave him alone. The ad for a Dating Agency in the Parish Newsletter gives them the opportunity to hopefully get Frank married so he can stop bothering Eamon. Although Fr Gabriel’s Dating Agency initially pairs Frank up with Eamon. In truth they are a perfect match. After a complaint he’s eventually paired up for a blind date with Alexis. Bridget and Eamon train Frank for his first date and though it appears there’ll be no hope for Frank, he comes back from the first date engaged and asking Eamon to be his best man.

When Bridget and Eamon witness the same vase as they have in their house be valued for £1 million on Antique Roadshow it sparks off a bitter fight between them, Bridget’s Mother and Fr Gabriel for who actually owns The Vase. Each of them tells their version of the story of how they came to own it, coincidentally on the same night as Bridget’s debs when Eamon proposed to her back in the 1970s. Guest star: Deirdre O’Kane as Bridget’s Mother

Bridget is practically invisible to everyone especially Eamon so it’s not surprising that when Bridget is in hospital Eamon mistakes the little woman Betty at the front door as his wife.

Bridget’s inability to keep a secret has just cost Eamon £13.50 a week in false claims but when a strange woman Veronica moves in as a lodger the hole in the household finances is filled.
