Mrs Brown

Mrs Brown's Boys has proven a popular hit for the BBC, but besides Christmas specials, there hasn't been a new series since 2013.

‘A last-minute change of plans leaves Agnes babysitting the widower’s twins while he and Cathy head to Foley’s for a quiet, romantic drink. Show creator and Mrs Brown himself, Brendan O’Carroll, told The Irish Sun: ‘It’s incredible that the BBC have nailed down such a special slot for Mrs Brown. The show, after all, has proven to be a massive hit. I wanted that because if it’s not good enough for Christmas Day, then we shouldn’t be making it.’ But it’s not Boris that Agnes is worried about; she has her own concerns over his creepy twins.’ [Mrs Brown’s Boys](https://metro.co.uk/tag/mrs-browns-boys/) is back for two episodes [this Christmas](https://metro.co.uk/tag/christmas-tv/), with the first airing a little later today (Christmas Day).

The family favourite show will also be returning for four episodes in 2023 as creator Brendan O'Carroll, 67, who stars as Agnes Brown, explained how filming was ...

The episode will be titled "Shining Mammy" and the synopsis reads: "It's Christmas in Finglas once again, and this year Cathy has a new boyfriend, Boris," [The Mirror reports.](https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/mrs-browns-boys-return-four-28810922?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mirror_main&fbclid=IwAR1zvPP5n5eI9n77Y5LpPjXYVmcS94TLMIvntCtVT_sH2F9ErTRCQeWsFU4) "A last-minute change of plans leaves Agnes babysitting the widower's twins while he and Cathy head to Foley's for a quiet, romantic drink. But it's not Boris that Agnes is worried about; she has her own concerns over his creepy twins." He said that when he was younger it was always Morecambe and Wise that would be on the TV at Christmas. Speaking about how the show has become a tradition for many families at Christmas time, he said he gets "goosebumps" just thinking about it.

BBC viewers come to know the Mrs Brown's Boys stars as one of TV's most hilarious Irish families as their hilarious family antics entertain the nation.

“I probably wasn't in a very good place at the time. I rang them and said ‘I want to do this’.” I assured her that if she wanted to stop it at any time, I would back her 100%.” “We would still have a party, we would still live together, just not get married. It was a very dramatic and emotional journey.” "I have never been as low before or since. My own inner homophobia came back, which I didn't think existed. “The night before I had told Jenny that when I turned round at the altar to see her in her wedding dress if I had the slightest doubt I would stop the ceremony,” he said in his memoir Call Me Mrs Brown. I’m going there screaming.” I’m really looking forward to my 70th birthday. Speaking to The Sun, Brendan explained: "I was on the edge of a breakdown, a clinician would have said I was depressed, definitely. Star Brendan revealed that he came up with the idea for the show after kneeling at his bedside and praying to his mother, who then appeared to him in a dream.

Danny O'Carroll stars as Buster Brown in the BBC comedy sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys alongside his father Brendan O'Carroll.

"As petty as it was - it was bum! It is a family-ness of the success." "So work is so much better because I get to see my dad and my other family. The series is set to return with four new episodes in the new year, with father and son duo Danny and Brenda O'Carroll back working together. So hopefully we can keep going." Danny recently opened up about working with his father and the impact it has had on their relationship.

The hackneyed sitcom tropes and weak lines just don't work, even with a strong dose of Christmas cheer taken.

It has successfully defied the critics, and it won over the acerbic and fastidious Lewis-Smith, which is quite the achievement and one to take seriously. And that’s the kind of offal the show overwhelmingly comprises. In the spirit of Christmas, I’ll grant O’Carroll some credit for an especially shrewd bit of dialogue between Mammy and her grandson, Bono (Jamie O’Carroll), a typical disciple of Greta Thunberg (“Greta Thornbird” to Mammy). [Victor Lewis-Smith](/topic/victor-lewis-smith), the brilliant satirist and the finest television critic of our times, I thought I’d try to give Mrs Brown’s Boys a bit of a reappraisal. Indeed, he does have an odd way about him, what with liking horror movies and having a couple of creepy kids in tow, though quite why they chose an Englishman named “Boris” with oodles of superficial charm to be the epitome of deceitful diabolical evil is, of course, anyone’s guess. I find it easily the most irksome of them all, far outstripping cranberry sauce (I mean, what’s it even doing) and Whamageddon.
