My, isn't Mrs Brown's Boys keeping esteemed company indeed... nominated amongst three sitcoms that are actually funny. It almost makes me want to watch the bleedin' thing. A wide berth has been maintained ever since the relentless TV ad campaign for the show's run in the Olympia. That was enough.
Is anyone a fan?
