David Jason: Mrs Brown's Boys is too rude for families

The Only Fools and Horses star says he thinks the show, starring Brendan O'Carroll, is "very funny" but believes the "language is a bit strong".

The Mirror, 12th January 2018

Father Damien sets up a Neighbourhood Watch patrol; Cathy has another terrible internet date ("I need a man!" Mrs Brown: "Don't look at me!") and there's a whole lot of fecking going on. In a word: untaxing.
