Return of the Native

Ma and Da have got some new neighbours - a pair of blonde bombshells who seem to have taken a bit of a shine to Da and Cal! Ma's not a bit impressed by Da's antics in chatting up the girls but Da claims he's only trying to get a girl for his favourite son! Ma replies that the girls weren't good enough for her favourite son! Cal doesn't get to bask in his new found popularity for long though, because his long lost brother Paul arrives back from America and suddenly Ma and Da are running around fussing over the prodigal son and forgetting all about Cal. Over in East Belfast, things get a bit cramped when Cal, Big Mervyn, a cockatoo and Percy the Python all arrive as houseguests. Chaos ensues until Billy can take no more and he orders all visitors out of the house at gunpoint! The reason for Paul's return to the family home is revealed when Dympna discovers that he has been thrown out by his multi-millionaire wife for playing around! However Paul doesn't seem to be too put out about it and consoles himself with the blonde neighbours! He eventually gets his comeuppance though when the girls turn out to be journalists getting the inside track on the scandal.
