What time is Mrs Brown’s Boys on TV?
The long-running comedy show returned last week and will be airing new episodes every Friday night. It will be back on today (August 8) and it is scheduled to start at 9.30pm and run until 10pm.
The preview for the episode, via Radio Times, reads: “There's trouble brewing in Finglas as Grandad drops a bombshell - he's planning to leave. Agnes is having none of it and immediately goes into detective mode to find out what's really going on.
“Meanwhile, Foley's Bar prepares for its big annual talent show - and Winnie is determined to take part. Between Grandad's secrets and some highly questionable 'talents', it's another week of unpredictable mayhem for Agnes and her long-suffering clan.”
Brendan O’Carroll told fans: “The mini-series focuses on the continuing life in the Brown family and surrounding households in Finglas. Believe it or not most of the story lines are based on true events that either happened to my family or have been told to me by people about their families.
“Everybody has a story, and it's quite common for someone in a family to say in the middle of a family disaster, "This is like an episode of Mrs. Brown’s Boys".”

The BBC has also promised “unexpected guests” in the new episodes. Speaking about the actors, Brendan said: “I could not play any of the characters better than the actors who play them now. In particular, the likes of Cathy or Mark, without them the gags don't work.
“I honestly don't know the secret to the enduring success of Mrs. Brown's Boys, I write and perform what I think is funny and just hope that somebody somewhere watching gets a laugh out of it. That's it, and, although I sometimes try to include a "family" message along the way, essentially it’s just a bunch of actors trying to make you laugh.”
