How Many Episodes Of "Moone Boy" Have You Seen?

Martin is bullied by his classmates; Martin's dad becomes friends with the bullies' father; Martin sets his sister up on a date with a boy who can protect him from the bullies.

Due to having to wait for his sisters to use the bathroom, Martin finds himself over-sleeping and Sinead takes advantage of this to put eye shadow and make-up on him, so that when he innocently arrives at school it is assumed he is gay. To save time in getting to school Martin, encouraged by Sean, takes inspiration from world events and the fall of the Berlin Wall by dismantling his garden wall to create a short cut. Debra, meanwhile, sets out to be a Weight Wishers leader and teach weight reduction, though nobody comes to her classes.

Following an awkward confirmation, in large borrowed shoes, during which he is renamed Martin Martin, Martin decides that he would like to be an altar boy after all and, helped by Sean, determines to be the best in Boyle. However before long he stumbles upon the fact that these sweet little lads are actually an organized crime ring who delight in intimidating Father Linehan. At the same time, Fidelma takes a shine to Dessie Dolan, the chief choir boy, and decides that she has also discovered religion. Debra and Liam wonder what went wrong that two of their brood have embraced the Church.

Liam is all set to take the family on their annual summer holiday - to Donegal in the old camper van. However, the others - particularly Martin - are not enthusiastic as it is World Cup 1990 and Ireland are playing Romania. Liam gets his way and the Moones, plus Fidelma's boyfriend Dessie and Martin's friend Padraic - with his own imaginary friend, Crunchie Danger Haystacks, pile into the van and set off for Donegal. Martin is not happy and so, whilst the others in the pub, preparing to watch the match on television, and comforting Trisha over the break-up of Talking Heads, he sets off with Sean Murphy to hitch back to Boyle to watch the match. But they have very little luck until they see a house sporting football colours, though they are in for a surprise. Hopefully the others will realize that Martin, with or without Sean Murphy, is missing.

It is summer Martin and Padraic started to build a raft on which they intended to sail into town. Now, as Halloween approaches, they decide to turn it into their own spooky ghost ship and take to the water, with their two imaginary friends, to the strains of the only sea shanty they know - 'Orinoco Flow'. However the tide carries them past the town and they end up on the seemingly uninhabited Castle Island - uninhabited, that is, except for Island Joe. Meanwhile old-fashioned Father Roche is opposed to pregnant, unmarried Fidelma taking readings in church but the progressive Father Linehan comes up with a way around his objection.

A group of travellers moves into the field next door to the Moones, causing Debra and Liam to move a few items from the garden into the house for safety. Martin however is much smitten by one of the travellers, the free-spirited Majella who quickly moves from being his classmate to his girlfriend. With the wedding looming the stag and hen parties go ahead. Heavily pregnant Fidelma falls asleep at hers but Dessie's do, enthusiastically organized by his best man, Father Linehan, in the church, soon gets out of hand thanks to the biblically-themed drinking games.

Moone becomes a tough guy and doesn't need his imaginary friend anymore.

After rowing with his mother, Dessie, Fidelma and baby Rose move back into the Moones' bungalow - much to the annoyance of the family. With Grandad in a nursing home the solution seems to be for them to move into his house but he needs persuading but the Moones' plan - to make the bungalow look like an overcrowded refugee camp - fails to work. However Dessie's strange toilet habit and Martin's donkey do the trick. At the same time Martin and Padraic are hoping to make £250 by staging a comic accident they can capture on Padraic's new camera and send to 'You've Been Framed To Look Like a Feckin' Eejit'. Their attempts are pitiful but happily Dessie moving into Grandad's house and being attacked by bats gets them the money.

With Granddad now back in his own home Fidelma, Dessie and Rose return to the overcrowded Moone household. But Dessie hits on a sure fire way to earn money to buy his own place - by opening a Catholic bookshop , though when it is noted that there are other religions, he sets about providing literature for them as well - except for anything Protestant. A despairing Liam sees a more sensible alternative to ease the overcrowding - by building an extension, and an excited Martin takes advantage of the building materials at his disposal to make improvements to his own self-styled penthouse.
