Bridget has to get one for the first time ever when her husband loses his job, while - with nothing to do - Eamon accidentally joins the IRA.

Bridget & Eamon are getting the channels in, even the dirty one - Channel 4. But when the TV licence inspector calls to the door, Bridget puts the house into lockdown. How long can they hold out with Bridget's supply of cigarettes running out?

Eamon's always spending the money from the Trocaire box so Fr. Gabriel is keeping an eye on him this year. Meanwhile Bridget hosts a tupperware party that goes disastrously wrong when highly illegal condoms are delivered instead.

The couple are chosen to be on the poster for the forthcoming divorce referendum, but Phelim returns home from America with some shocking news about their marriage.

Bridget is a finalist in the Housewife of the Year competition and when Eamon hears there's a year's supply of free gas if she wins, he goes to extreme lengths to make sure she takes home the prize. But will it be enough to beat the reigning champion?

The National Lottery could be the answer to the couple's financial troubles, but when they form a syndicate with their neighbours and their numbers come up, Bridget is unhappy about the win.
