One of the funniest Irish movies in recent years, The Young Offenders hit the big screen last year, with the tale of two Cork inner-city teenagers embarking on a road trip to recover a lost bale of cocaine delighting audiences the world over, becoming the fast Irish film to reach the €1 million mark at the Irish box office and even receiving Special Mention for Best Comedy Debut at the 2016 Fantastic Fest in Austin Texas. Now, Peter Foott’s debut feature is getting the small screen treatment, with BBC Three and BBC Comedy, in association with Rte, commissioning a six part series based on the continuing adventures of loveable rogues Connor MacSweeny (Alex Murphy) and Jock O’Keefe (Chris Walley). Foott will be onboard as writer, director, and executive producer, with Murphy and Walley reprising their roles. Hilary Rose will also as Connor’s mother, Mairead. The series goes into production in Cork this Summer.

Two teens hunt for a missing stash of cocaine, in a comedy with a workable balance between slapstick and proper storytelling
Cork-born teenager Conor MacSweeney (Alex Murphy) and his best friend Jock (Chris Walley) are a classic little-and-large double act, the disparity in their heights made even more comical by the way they sport near-identical tracksuits, close-shaved haircuts and bumfluff moustaches. Bored with their regular routines of working, in Conor’s case, at the fish stall run by his single mother Mairead (Hilary Rose) and, in Jock’s case, stealing bicycles, they decide to embark on an adventure. Hearing that a €7m bale of cocaine has gone missing on the coast of Kerry, they set off on a treasure hunt, pursued by a garda (Dominic MacHale) determined to bring the bike-pilfering Jock to justice.
As broad and brassy Irish comedies go (there have been quite a few of them lately), this one is reasonably palatable,...

Rowdy, raucous, and rude, The Young Offenders is a blast of adolescence without angst, a juvenile movie that is surprisingly cheerful, even as its young heroes straddle the thin line between criminality and, well, not being a straight-up criminal. Conor (Alex Murphy) and Jock (Chris Walley) are best friends in the largely comic tale, which is set in 2007. They live in Cork, a good-sized city along the coast of Ireland, where the 15-year-old schoolmates are kindred souls. Both are being raised by single parents, though neither is happy about it. Conor's mother (Hilary Rose) is gainfully employed selling fish at the well-known English Market and provides as best she can for him, but Conor views her protectiveness as suffocating. Jock's father is an angry...
