Bridget & Eamon are the typical unhappily married 80s Irish couple. They live somewhere in the Midlands with their indeterminate number of children. Chain-smoking Bridget has notions. She wants the lifestyle from the pages of Woman's Way but wouldn't want to think about how much it would cost to heat South Fork.
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”…
Bridget accuses Eamon of being no fun in front of everyone, so when the lead singer of his 1970s rock band turns up in town, he decides the time is right for a reunion gig.
When Eamon is barred from the pub, he decides to cook up his own home brew based on an old family recipe. But drinking it causes serious consequences. Foster and Allen guest star.
A new dating agency finally gives Eamon the opportunity to get rid of his unwanted best friend Frank - but his perfect match turns out to be a huge surprise.
A bitter fight breaks out between Eamon, Bridget and her mother over who owns a possibly priceless vase. Comedy, guest starring Deirdre O'Kane.
When Bridget goes into hospital, Eamon mistakes a random woman as his wife and she moves in, leaving the real Bridget making an epic journey home to reclaim her place by his side.
The couple are forced to take in a lodger but soon become convinced that the woman in question is actually an alien from their favourite sci-fi TV show. Last in the series.
