Rachel Tarley, Metro, 29th March 2011As we've mentioned before, if you're faint hearted this won't be for you.
For the antics of Agnes Brown and her brood are among the funniest on television, but the language they use is certainly not the cleanest.
As the all too short series comes to a climax tonight, this is the last chance to see Brendan O'Carroll as his wickedly witty alter ego Mrs Brown - unless you're getting tickets for his live stage show this summer.
Tonight, Agnes thinks everyone has gone mad - Father Quinn is losing his faith as fast as he loses parishioners, newlyweds Dermot and Maria won't stop fighting, and Grandad has decided he'd like to witness his own funeral.
He's keen to hear all the nice things people will say about him while he's still alive to enjoy them.
So when the Browns decide to make Grandad happy by secretly staging his funeral, you may die laughing.
