Delighting (and dismaying) British TV audiences, Mrs Browns Boys has been a part of the Beebs festive schedule for nearly fifteen years, and with the
show now back to airing semi-regular mini-seasons, it shows no sign of
slowing down.

After grappling with wrangling the tribe for a festive photo in the Christmas special, Agnes (Brendan OCaroll) is this time trying to prepare the gang for an incoming storm, but tensions are running high. Speaking of high,
elsewhere, Buster (Danny OCaroll) is preparing for a birthday parachute jump and Winnie (Elish OCaroll) receives a shock to the system. Meanwhile, the
gang are visited by a nun looking for help.

Your mileage will of course vary on whether the latest special is holiday hilarity or a festive fail, but this far in, youre either on board or you're not, and for the fans out there, its perfect lighthearted fare to see in the new year.
