Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas Special – 25 December 2024, BBC1, 11.05pm
Mrs Brown has a Christmas miracle to perform in the first of two festive visits to Finglas. Can Agnes convince her nearest and dearest that she’s not grumpy?! Elsewhere, the Dublin matriarch’s daughter Cathy pulls the community together for a good cause, and expects the unexpected from Buster, as he sources a sustainable tree.

Mrs Brown’s Boys New Year’s Special – 1 January 2025, BBC1, 10.30pm
After her Christmas Day shenanigans, Mrs Brown is ready to kickstart a new enterprise tonight when she turns her spare room into a B&B. If you’re wondering who would willingly stay at the madcap matriarch’s home, the answer’s soon revealed…
A dangerous, escaped criminal turns up and takes over the gaff!
“Mrs Brown as a landlady doesn’t work out,” teases Brendan. “Agnes is held hostage, and so is everyone who calls at the house – including her family, the neighbours and a brass band!”
Now, there’s a scenario you won’t see on Four in a Bed. Steve Speirs (The Tuckers) guest stars.
“The New Year’s Eve storyline is probably the funniest I’ve written in a long, long time,” says Brendan.
