About Bridget & Eamon
Bridget & Eamon is a new six episode sitcom for RTÉ2, written by Jason Butler, Jennifer Zamparelli and Bernard O’Shea. The show set in the 1980s stars Jennifer as Bridget and Bernard as Eamon in roles already massively popular in sketches on Republic of Telly and online with millions of views.
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.
The cast features the cream of Irish comedy and acting talent with Norma Sheahan, Eleanor Tiernan and Sharon Mannion as the Bridget’s neighbours, Colum McDonnell as Eamon’s mate Fierce Handy Frank and Edwin Sammon as the local parish priest.
Guest stars include Mary McEvoy, Linda Martin, John Colleary, Pat McDonnell, John Lynn, Karl Spain, Keith Walsh and Alison Spittle.
