On his way to finding Jody, Nelly will save lives, find others who have been lost, reunite loved ones, make enemies of friends, risk his life and the lives of others close to him, and continually get back on his feet after finding himself flat on his face. He’s a man that faces a stark reality, as hard as it may be to admit, that in losing his daughter he finds himself.

In Motherland, Christmas comes but once a year, and thank God for that, because it’s time for Amanda’s (Lucy Punch, Doc Martin) annual festive soiree (dress code: tinsel and tiaras). Nothing says Christmas like evil Santa, a 30-foot Christmas tree, Anne’s (Philippa Dunne, Derry Girls) Christmas cocktails, and very strict rules about where you can and can’t drink mulled wine.
Only Meg (Tanya Moodie, The Change) has an official party invite, but Julia (Anna Maxwell Martin, Ludwig), Kevin (Paul Ready, Bodyguard), and Liz (Diane Morgan, Cunk on Earth) tag along as her plus-threes. They struggle to fit in with the Alpha crowd, but for Julia, it’s still a welcome distraction from playing festive butler to a house full of in-laws.
Meanwhile, Liz is trying to ignore Christmas altogether, whilst Kevin is single-handedly stuffing, wrapping, roasting, parboiling, laying up, washing up, and decorating himself into an early grave.
Motherland Christmas Special 2022 | New to BritBox | 1 x 30’ | Released All at Once
School’s out for the festive season, so the mums (and Kevin (Paul Ready, Bodyguard)) are busy prepping for the ultimate in blended Christmas celebrations.

Julia has invited Kevin along, too, after learning his alternative was turkey crisps from the hotel vending machine with the other divorced dads. Kevin excitedly offers to whip up a full-on Persian feast. Liz (Diane Morgan, Cunk on Earth) also turns up when her ex falls asleep on a train following a massive Christmas Eve bender, letting her down on his first-ever offer to host.
Meanwhile, Amanda (Lucy Punch, Doc Martin) is spending Christmas Day with Johnny (Terry Mynott, Murder, They Hope), the kids, and Johnny’s new wife, Tamara (Louise Delamere, Holby City), which is fine. Really fine. It’s fine.

Agnes Brown (Brendan O’Caroll, Angela’s Ashes) is determined to prove she’s the essence of festive spirit after she’s accused of “always” being cranky during Yuletide – but will she succeed?

With her daughter trying to save the world, Granddad (Dermot O’Neill, Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie) is getting a little too close to oversexed neighbour Birdy (June Rodgers, The Clinic) and an escaped convict mistaken for a lodger that leads to a mass hostage situation, well…perhaps Agnes has bitten off more than she can chew.
Of course, it’s Dermot (Paddy Houlihan, Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie) and Buster (Danny O’Carroll, Mrs. Brown’s Boys D’Movie) who save the day.

It is the first day on the job for new DI Wes Leyton (Paterson Joseph, Inside No. 9), an old friend of DS Ronnie Brooks’ (Bradley Walsh, Coronation Street), and he wastes no time in taking the lead when he sees that Sam is struggling to cope. Ronnie and Sam carry on with the investigation, only to be surprised when they stumble across the culprit.
In the courtroom, Jake (Dominic Rowan, The Crown) prosecutes Tyler with vigour whilst his defence barrister, Kate Barker (Georgia Taylor, Coronation Street), argues the reasons why her client should not be found guilty.
But, just as the case finishes, Henry (Peter Davison, Riot Women) springs a surprise on Jake…he’s found Alesha’s (Freema Agyeman, Doctor Who) new replacement.
