Date Posted: October 7, 2024
The B Team is a fast-paced contemporary comedy one-off set in the loving, chaotic, warm and neurotic world of a tight-knit Belfast family, the Buchanans.
Mum and Dad, Brenda and Paddy love each other deeply but constantly tread on each other’s toes, as they plan the First Holy Communion for their youngest daughter, Aileen.
Teenage drama kicks off when their son, Connor, makes a rookie mistake, inviting a new girlfriend to the Communion. Meanwhile his older sister, Clare, and her catty BFF Marty, attempt to upstage everyone, with outrageous outfits and caustic asides.
The B Team is written by Ciaran Bartlett and stars Jo Donnelly (Brenda), Gerard McCabe (Paddy), Eimear Bailie (Clare) Shane Convery (Marty), Libby McBride (Aileen) and Oisin O’Colemain (Conor).
Funded by BBC Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen and BBC Network Comedy.
