What? Who? WHAT??
As
we reported over the weekend, The Young Offenders will be back on our screens pretty soon, as they're getting their own Christmas Special!
We've been told that the plot will be as follows:
It's Christmas week, and the residents of the estate where Conor (Alex Murphy), Jock (Chris Walley) and Mairead (Hilary Rose) live have been fighting off an eviction from the council for over a month. The situation has been getting national media coverage and everyone involved is on edge, including the police.
While all this is happening, Mairead has been sick for weeks and has to be taken to hospital - a place Conor and Jock hate. Not knowing how to help, the lads ask Mairead if there's anything they can get her. Mairead says she's never seen a white Christmas, so the two friends set off on a chaotic adventure to try make her wish come true.
So... that sounds like it will be very funny, but also... this is going to make us cry, isn't it?
Well, before we get to all of the emotions, we need to get to this first official image, and then we need to get to the questions:
Who are the lads threatening to pan here?
Who broke Jock's nose?
The same person who gave Conor a black eye?
Is Mairead going to be okay?
Are they going to get to show her a white Christmas?
Who is that guy on the left wearing what looks like a pretty comfy brown jumper?
And most importantly... is there anything in that pan??
We need answers!
Thankfully we don't have too much longer to wait, as The Young Offenders Christmas Special is set to air on BBC on Friday 14 December.
Before then you can catch up on the original movie on Netflix, while the first season of the show is available on DVD right now.
