Mrs Brown's Boys is to mark its 10th anniversary with a new Halloween special, which will be broadcast live.
Creator and star Brendan O'Carroll says: "It's a huge thrill to do another 'live' show for the BBC. It'll be so wonderful so see them nervous all over again. We will be trying our best to stick to the script, but honestly a script is just a guideline. Ha ha ha!! Bring it on!"
Talking about the plot, the BBC confirm: "There's spooky going's on in the Brown household where anything can, and probably will happen."
Originally a theatre production, Mrs Brown's Boys launched on BBC One in 2011, and has gone on to become one of the top-rated comedies on TV.
In the summer of 2016 the Mrs Brown's Boys cast broadcast an episode live for the first time. The plan is to do the same again this October.
Charlotte Moore from the BBC says: "I'm thrilled that we are marking the 10th anniversary of the award-winning Mrs Brown's Boys coming to BBC One with this very special live broadcast. A huge thank you to Brendan and the team for keeping us all so brilliantly entertained for a decade. I can't wait to see what mischief Agnes and family have in store for us this Halloween."
The special will be broadcast in late October. The date and time of the live broadcast will be announced in due course.
