Me Mammy first aired as a pilot within the seventh series of the BBC's Comedy Playhouse.
However, his old-fashioned Catholic mother often puts a stop to his plans, many of them involving his secretary and girlfriend, Miss Argyll.
Other characters include Father Patrick, often mocked for his dubious morality, and Cousin Enda.
The episodes feature some surreal elements, such as "Catholic Chess", which pits pieces modelled on prominent Catholic figures against one modelled on prominent Protestant figures.
On the Catholic side of the board are buttons which can drop opposing pieces through trapdoors, "sending them to Hell".
