The irrepressible Mrs Brown’s Boys has been somewhat of a feature of Christmas schedules for the last few years but this year we also have a Halloween Special.
The twist is that the show is set to be broadcast live, bringing Brendan O’Carroll and co. back to Mrs. Brown’s roots as a theatre production.
Love it or hate it, the show is celebrating 10 years on the BBC this year and was previously voted as the best sitcom for the 21st century in a Radio Times poll.
We’re being promised “spooky goings on in the Brown household” for the once-off special.
When’s it on? 9.30pm on Saturday on both RTÉ One and BBC One
