Further details
There's a storm blowing in Finglas and it soon claims its first victim when the pipes in Winnie and Sharon's house burst. Thank goodness therefore for Mrs Brown who is on hand to offer a roof over their heads while repairs are carried out.
However, it's not long before there's a storm brewing in the Brown household too, when Agnes and Cathy discover living with best friends isn't the picnic they'd imagined. And Agnes has yet more on her plate when she receives the news of the death of Nelly Scullie, a neighbour she never knew - or liked - and is asked by Father Damian to do her eulogy.
Plus, there's Bono's thirteenth birthday to host. It might all seem too much for Agnes, until Buster drops a bombshell...

Press
More festive farce with the ribald Irish mammy. The cold weather has played havoc with Winnie's plumbing - steady now - so she and Sharon end up crashing in the Brown household. A chaotic place at the best of times, it becomes more volatile during a raucous birthday party for 10-year-olds.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 1st January 2019Mrs Brown's Boys review
'Mrs Brown' thrives not on snideness or superiority, but speaks to the universal truth that quite a lot of people enjoy fart gags.
