Delighting (and dismaying) British TV audiences, Mrs Brown’s Boys has been a part of the Beeb’s festive schedule for nearly fifteen years, and with the show now back to airing semi-regular mini-seasons, it shows no sign of slowing down.
After grappling with wrangling the tribe for a festive photo in the Christmas special, Agnes (Brendan O’Caroll) is this time trying to prepare the gang for an incoming storm, but tensions are running high. Speaking of high, elsewhere, Buster (Danny O’Caroll) is preparing for a birthday parachute jump and Winnie (Elish O’Caroll) receives a shock to the system. Meanwhile, the gang are visited by a nun looking for help.
Your mileage will of course vary on whether the latest special is holiday hilarity or a festive fail, but this far in, you’re either on board or you're not, and for the fans out there, it’s perfect lighthearted fare to see in the new year.
