Episode 1: Shining Mammy – Christmas Day, 9.25pm RTÉ One
It’s Christmas time in Finglas once and again, and this year Cathy has a new boyfriend. A last minute change of plans leaves Agnes babysitting the widower’s twins while he and Cathy head to Foley’s for a quiet, romantic drink. When they arrive a Christmas party is in full swing and Boris is reluctantly initiated into the Brown family madness. Not everyone is convinced he’s right for Cathy and there are even suspicions he might be a vampire. But it’s not Boris that Agnes is worried about, she has her own concerns over his creepy twins. Perhaps Buster’s magical Christmas tree could shed some light on the matter. Amidst all the festive madness Bono is on an eco-kick and Agnes has something to say about it
