It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
We’d be lying if we said that we weren’t extremely excited for The Young Offenders Christmas Special.
We’re not saying that it’s going to be the highlight of our Christmas, but we’re not not saying that either.
Last week we saw the first image from the Special, and now we’ve got another one that will get us even more excited for the festive period.
Now there’s a picture that can be put on the front of a Christmas card.
And in case this has made you more excited than you already were, 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.
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.
