Paul Millar, Digital Spy, 25th June 2012Mrs Brown Rides Again - live review
The references to gays are horribly unfunny, the show's heavy-handed Oirishness makes me uncomfortable and many of the jokes are so old you could supply the punchlines. But there's an undeniable warmth to this show and it's filled with big laughs because of Brendan O'Carroll's superb clowning.

TV Times, 20th January 2012Mrs Brown's Boys holds strong
Mrs Brown's Boys was the only bright spark in BBC One's comedy lineup last night.
Paul Millar, Digital Spy, 10th January 2012The brilliant Irish comedy returns, beginning with a timely Christmas special. Agnes is looking forward to having all her kids home for the first time in four years, as son Trevor will be returning from missionary work.
But as this is the Brown household, things aren't going to go to plan. Trevor suddenly can't make it and Dermot is under pressure to spend his first wedded Christmas at his snobby in-laws.
Those situations aren't unique. Indeed, many of the gags are comedy staples - the tree too big for the lounge, an overdose on decorations, the turkey still being alive, Grandad wearing a crash helmet and been seen before.
But even when gags aren't new, they're still funny in the world of Agnes Brown.
