Episode 2: 1847 to 1852
In late 1847, the famine is at its height in Ireland. A million people have died and of those who got to America, the diaspora work hard to rebuild their lives. Even so the British government decides that all further famine relief for the Irish must be paid for from rates raised in Ireland on Irish landlords. When landlords either cannot or will not pay, many evict their struggling tenants. 500,000 evictions force millions onto the roads – slums build up in cities, workhouses become overcrowded and fetid, millions emigrate. When it’s all done, one million people have died across Ireland. An entire class, the poorest, has been wiped out by death and emigration. In America, the Diaspora works hard to climb the economic ladder and in Ireland, a new generation is determined to achieve self-determination and to revive a dying culture.

Here We Go

Here We Go follows the highs and lows of the Jessop family as they navigate a combination of life's everyday challenges – changing careers, keeping the romance alive within a marriage, adopting a healthier lifestyle, kidnapping a dog, destroying a swimming pool and sabotaging a wedding.

Having filmed his family's disastrous attempt to carve out a holiday in the midst of the pandemic in the 2020 pilot episode, the series sees youngest son Sam continue to document the Jessop family across the year. Moving back and forward in time, each episode offers an intimate, observed and absurd exposé of a modern British family doing its best to support each other, if accidentally annoying everyone else in the process.
