London Irish S1 Written by Lisa McGee and directed by Tom Marshall.
Four Belfast expats live in London. That's them, left to right it's Packy, Bronagh and Niamh on the couch and Conor leaning on the table. Bronagh and Conor are brother and sister, the other two are their best friends. They drink a lot and have little adventures while trying to along with the locals.
The first episode concerns a pub quiz and a man who had his hand shot off in a robbery. The second starts with the aftermath of a wedding and ends with Packy at a wake trying to hit on the grieving girlfriend of a man he hated. Episode 3 has Niamh make Wizard of Oz costumes for the group. In episode 4 Conor goes out for some fish and chips, he returns 7 days later with Mexican woman in tow. In episode 5 the four of them wake in a strange apartment the day after St Patrick's Day. The last episode has Bronagh's parent visit them in London.
They are the sort of people I like watching on TV, I wouldn't want them in my house. Too much chaos. It did make me laugh though. Too bad there aren't any more series. You can see them on YouTube in the link above.
