Brilliantly funny comedian Brendan O'Carroll stars as Agnes Brown in the fantastic Mrs Brown's Boys. Premiered on BBC ONE February 2011 it was nominated at the 2011 BAFTA TV awards in the situation comedy category and now the complete six episodes will be released and available to buy on DVD from Universal Pictures (UK) on 3rd October 2011.

TV's funniest and proudest mother, Agnes Brown (played by Brendan O'Carroll) is a hilarious, foulmouthed Dublin matriarch who, like most mothers, constantly meddles and interferes in the lives of her six children and friends - but with surprising and often hilarious consequences. If you've seen Mrs Brown before either on the BBC ONE series or at one of her live shows, prepare for a riot of bad behaviour, all your favourite characters and of course, loads of big laughs. If you haven't seen Mrs Brown, now's your chance to join the party! It's a little bit rude, a little bit crude and hysterical fun for everyone from 16 to 80.
Already an established live theatre show currently touring in 2011 and 2012, Mrs Brown's Boys has been a sell-out success for a number of years in Ireland and the UK. This six part television series, specially written by Brendan for BBC ONE, is jam-packed with all the laughs and drama of Mrs Brown on stage and features the original cast from these much loved live shows.
Brendan's hilarious portrayal of meddling 'Mammy', Agnes Brown, provides the comic heart and soul of this hugely entertaining comedy series. Adding to its' uniqueness, throughout the series Brendan is joined by a very special cast - his own family - who take on various roles as Agnes's dysfunctional brood. Brendan's real-life wife Jennifer Gibney as daughter Cathy, Fiona O'Carroll as future daughter inlaw Maria, his son Danny O'Carroll as friend of the Brown family Buster and his sister Eilish O'Carroll as best friend Winnie McGoogan.
With a stellar creative team including director Ben Kellett (Armstrong and Miller), script editor Paul Mayhew-Archer (Vicar Of Dibley) and producer Stephen McCrum (Mongrels, Two Pints Of Lager), Mrs Brown's Boys is a must buy DVD for lovers of traditional comedy and good old fashioned laughs. Mrs Brown's Boys was nominated at the 2011 BAFTA TV awards in the best sitcom category.
