by Hugh Leonard.
Adapted from the story "Childybawn" by Sean O'Faolain.
Starring Milo O'Shea, Eileen Crowe
with Maureen Toal
(First transmission on BBC-1, March 14, 1964)

This light-hearted story is about Benjy Spillane, a Dublin bank clerk who at forty-one is still firmly attached to his mammy's apron-strings. Angela, a colleague at the bank with whom Benjy has already enjoyed a surreptitious romp on the Costa Brava, is not happy with this situation. But Mrs. Spillane will not be ousted without a struggle, and she lays elaborate plans to keep her Childybawn out of the scheming hands of this jezebel.
