Blight at the Museum

Episode 1 of 4

Callum goes full method, role-playing a starving peasant with a tyrannical land steward as the Funboys belatedly get involved in the Great Famine.

The gang belatedly get involved in the Great Famine, the one thing they didn’t need to get involved in. Callum’s new job at the Ballymac Folk Museum sends him down a spiral of method acting as a starving peasant. And he’s helped along in this grovelling subservience by his new boss, tyrannical land steward Phillip. The sudden news, to Jordan, that a million people died during the potato famine causes him to finally develop empathy, and it turns out to be a real pain.
