The Vanishing

Episode 1 of 4

Northern Ireland is in turmoil as Carson鈥檚 statue goes missing in centenary year. But who could have taken it? Da ends up in jail. Could this be Ma鈥檚 best Christmas ever?

Goats in Uncle Andy鈥檚 living room, drinks at 1921 prices, a missing statue and Da in jail - it鈥檚 just a normal Christmas for the Give My Head Peace families.

It鈥檚 the centenary of Northern Ireland. 100 years since Partition. And, as you would expect, Da and Uncle Andy are marking the occasion in very different ways.

Da launches a one-man campaign against the 'pro-British' centenary celebrations, which culminates in a late-night attempt to remove Carson鈥檚 statue from the front of Stormont.

Meanwhile at the Kneebreakers 'Happy Birthday Ulster' party, drinks are all at 1921 prices. What can possibly go wrong?

Carson鈥檚 statue goes missing, Constable Billy gets to pretend he鈥檚 in Line of Duty, and Ma touts on her husband. Will she finally get to enjoy a Christmas without Da?
