    Me Mammy

    1 9 6 9 – 1 9 7 1 (UK)
    20 x 30 minute episodes

    Forty-year-old Bunjy Kennefick (Milo O’Shea) was a gently perspiring, desperately randy middle-aged middle-class Irishman living and working in London. An executive with a large West End company, he drove a flashy car and lived in an expensive modern Regents Park flat.

    His secretary, Miss Argyll (Yootha Joyce), was also his willing but perpetually frustrated girlfriend.

    Unfortunately, his pious and ferocious widowed mother (Anna Manahan) had also crossed the Irish Sea (along with her collection of plaster statues of various saints which she kept in the cupboard) and, being a devout flint-hearted Catholic, was reluctant to give up her innocent son to the heady delights of the English capital – and to Miss Argyll in particular.

    The mother’s brother was their priest (Ray McAnally) and his congregation was largely made up of Mrs Kennefick’s contemporaries, largely blessed with middle-aged sons of their own, all panting for the fleshpots.

    A later addition to the cast was Bunjy’s scrawny suppressed camp cousin Enda (David Kelly), another exile from the Emerald Isle, who had a light hand for pastry.

    The series began life as a Comedy Playhouse pilot in 1968.
