MRS BROWN'S BOYS RETURNS WITH TWO FESTIVE SPECIALS ON BBC ONE, FIRST LOOK AND STORY DETAILS

Mrs Brown returns for more Christmas capers and festive frolics! Join everyone's favourite Mammy and the rest of the clan for fun and games in a Christmas and a New Year special.

Christmas Special

Mrs Brown rediscovers the meaning of family as she gathers those closest to her together for a Christmas photo. Buster unveils another of his signature Christmas trees with maximum impact and Cathy frets about what presents to buy everyone.

New Year’s Special

Tensions are high as Agnes and the gang prepare for an incoming storm. Buster’s flying high as he nervously awaits his birthday parachute jump. Winnie receives a shock to the system and a lost Nun looks for help.

Also commissioned is Shedites. Made by BBC Studios Comedy and starring Brendan O’Carroll (Mrs Brown’s Boys), Phil Davis (Trying), Simon Delaney (Lockerbie), Danny O’Carroll (Mrs Brown’s Boys), Shane Casey (The Young Offenders), Paddy Houlihan (Mrs Brown’s Boys) and Deirdre O’Kane (Moone Boy), Shedites will be part of the BBC’s festive offering this Christmas.

Shedites is about a place where men can make themselves useful building and repairing things, and along the way find company through unlikely friendships, a sense of purpose, and a mug of strong tea.

The half hour comedy sees Jimmy (Brendan O’Carroll), Harry (Phil Davis), Gavin (Simon Delaney), Cheesy (Danny O’Carroll), Paul (Shane Casey) and Paddy the Liar (Paddy Houlihan) set out to build a new bike from recycled parts to try and win the local “Santa Spin” race. If they succeed, it’ll be a rare triumph for the lads. And if they don’t, Councillor Orla (Deirde O’Kane) will make sure they hear about it.

Mrs Brown's Boys airs this Christmas and New Year on BBC One.
