Give My Head Peace is a Northern Irish comedy show by the Hole in the Wall Gang that ran in Northern Ireland from 2001 to 2005 with a special in 2007, which finished their (tremendously popular) TV run. It chronicled the Troubles, sectarianism and politics as seen by two linked families. Ma and Da are a Catholic couple who live in Divis Towers with grown-up son Cal. The pilot parodies the 'love across the barricades' plot of most drama written about Northern Ireland, ending with Emer's marriage to Billy, an RUC officer.

  • Give My Head Peace is a Northern Irish comedy show by the Hole in the Wall Gang that ran in Northern Ireland from 2001 to 2005 with a special in 2007, which finished their (tremendously popular) TV run. It chronicled the Troubles, sectarianism and politics as seen by two linked families. Ma and Da are a Catholic couple who live in Divis Towers with grown-up son Cal. The pilot parodies the 'love across the barricades' plot of most drama written about Northern Ireland, ending with Emer's marriage to Billy, an RUC officer. Billy lives with his Uncle Andy, an Orange Order member, lecherous Elvis-wannabe and staunch Protestant, who is naturally horrified that Billy has married one of Them. The actress playing Emer left in 2002, and Emer is replaced by Dymphna, her previously unseen sister.
