Synopsis:

Sue Johnston is Eileen Lewis - a newly widowed mother and grandmother - who after discovering a little magic in Lapland is determined to live life to the full. Eileen tries to throw herself into new experiences and 'not sit in the corner in black like an old Nanna,' but is often hindered by her well meaning but chaotic children and loveable but testing grandchildren. A warm-hearted family comedy series, Being Eileen boasts a stellar British cast including Sue Johnston (The Royle Family), Dean Andrews (Last Tango in Halifax), William Ash (Waterloo Road), Elizabeth Berrington (Stella) and Julie Graham (The Bletchley Circle).
