Episode 1
Friendship, loyalty, laughter and lots of mischief bring best pals Conor and Jock into conflict with their headmaster, leaving Conor’s mum to pick up the pieces once again.
Friendship, loyalty, laughter and lots of mischief bring best pals Conor MacSweeney and Jock O’Keeffe into ongoing conflict with their school headmaster, Principal Barry Walsh.
Getting caught up in the chaos is Conor's long suffering mother Mairead, something that happens very often as she tries to pick up the pieces after the lads' misbehaviour causes problems.
A not-so-clever plan to earn some extra cash backfires, bringing the lads head to head with Sergeant Healy, who has been hot on their heels for some time and is determined to catch them up to no good.
