Friday night at The Jockey and barman Kev is dealing with the usual lairy, pissed-up women on the prowl. When one gets a bit heavy, he tells her the bad news: he's getting married. The only problem is he hasn't told his girlfriend Veronica...

Further details

Mandy Maguire doesn't take gay Ian's rejection of her sexual advances very well and her brothers, the hardest on the Chatsworth estate are on the warpath.

The news of Kev and Veronica's impending wedding spreads through the pub and the estate, leaving Kev with no choice. He legs it home and proposes to Veronica. The only problem is he's already married but there's a five grand wedding gift up for grabs.

Not wanting to lose out on the cash, they decide on a fake wedding. All goes well until Veronica's pyromaniac, tourette-suffering brother, Marty turns up and the day goes up in the flames.
