Following its hugely successful first series Damo & Ivor returns for a second series…
Synopsis
DAMO & IVOR is a satirical comedy about identical twin brothers who having been separated at birth were reunited after 22 years. Ivor was raised in affluence on the Southside of the city and Damo grew up on the mean streets of Dublin’s Northside. Series one ended with a bang when Sarah Jane revealed she was pregnant and didn’t know which twin was the father. This series Ivor must face up to possibly being a dad and Damo has to also grow up. Jam packed with laugh out loud moments this is another hilarious collision of class and culture.

Episode 1:
Still in prison Damo is delighted to come face to face with his Da Bricko. Ivor, encouraged by Grano, becomes a chef for Billy Bongo’s Burgers. A hysterical and homeless Sarah Jane arrives to Grano’s after her parents kicked her out upon discovering she is pregnant. Ivor’s grandfather Edward returns to Itchdaddy Manor penniless and is horrified to discover all the family assets are in Ivor’s name. Damo is released from prison when Bricko threatens a petrified Flemo into confessing Damo had nothing to do with the robbery. Edward turns up at Grano’s and pretends Victoria has gone gaga. Ivor visits her in hospital and persuades Edward he will look after her. Their plan to get the shares off Ivor has kicked off. Taking over the burger stand as a favour to Ivor, Damo uses it as a guise to sell fireworks but it explodes and he’s arrested (again)!
