Mrs Brown's Boys | Series 5 Preview (BBC One)

Agnes and the Finglas gang return for more laughs, chaos and heartfelt moments in a brand-new season of Mrs Brown’s Boys.

With her usual blend of no-nonsense wisdom and razor-sharp wit, Agnes Brown (Brendan O’Carroll) continues to meddle in the lives of her nearest and dearest – with hilarious consequences! In these brand-new episodes the Brown family navigate fresh misadventures, unexpected guests, and the chaos that only Agnes can create.

Episode 1: Mrs Brown becomes a podcast sensation – without even leaving the house. Cathy is horrified to discover her mother has accidentally hijacked her new podcast project. Guest-starring Simon Delaney.

Episode 2: There’s trouble brewing in Finglas as Grandad drops a bombshell – he’s planning to leave! Agnes, of course, is having none of it and immediately goes into detective mode to find out what’s really going on.

Meanwhile, Foley’s Bar prepares for its big annual talent show, and Winnie determined to take part (whether the bar wants her to or not). Between Grandad’s secrets and some highly questionable 'talent', it’s another week of unpredictable mayhem for Agnes and her long-suffering clan.

Episode 3: Winnie’s ready to hit the road – but first, she needs to pass her driving test. Naturally, Agnes and the gang volunteer to help her practise, and chaos soon follows. With Winnie behind the wheel and Buster instructing, Finglas becomes a danger zone.

Guest stars Shobu Kapoor and Marek Larwood add to the madness as things spiral out of control in true Brown family fashion.

Episode 4: Cathy’s book group gets an unexpected new member – Agnes. After accidentally picking up one of Cathy’s novels, Agnes discovers she has a surprising fondness for steamy fiction. When she gatecrashes the next group meeting to share her, ahem, insights, Cathy is mortified.

Mrs Brown's Boys returns Friday 1st August at 9:30pm on BBC One.
