The final episode in Majella's week and she gets an indecent proposal or two down the pub. But she has a big decision to make, not just which beer to drink...

Big Girl Small Town is an abridgment of Michelle Gallen’s brutally funny, and often brutal, novel about a fictional community near the Northern Irish border a decade after the Good Friday Agreement.

Majella is the opinionated and awkward big girl; Aghybogey is the stiflingly small town. This is where she lives with her alcoholic mother and works in a chip shop frequented by a cornucopia of colourful characters, eccentrics and eejits. She loves Dallas (except for the 1985-86 season), but hates Other People – especially those who gossip about her family, speculate about her father’s disappearance during the Troubles and whisper about who might be behind her granny’s untimely death.
