Description Molly O'Reilly, the family matriarch, has a dying wish. When her five now fully-grown children hear what it is - what a furore! Returning to the homestead in Palmerston North to arrange her funeral and wake, Jean, Noel, Cathy, Kev and pregnant Terri, bicker and reminisce while Molly's body lies in state in the lounge. Amidst sibling rivalry, Yorkshire pudding catastrophes, disorderly sing-alongs, clearing out the liquor cabinet and dealing with Aunty Nola, will the family manage to pull themselves together in time to see their mother's last wish fulfilled?
