Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys has become a Christmas TV staple over the past decade \u2013 the festive specials of the family comedy a big ratings hit. This week sees the show return for a new extended run, with Brendan O\u2019Carroll \u2013 who also writes the show \u2013 back as the Irish mammy for four episodes of chaos round at Mrs Brown\u2019s\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been able to write a lot more freely for this new series as I\u2019ve not had to keep things at Christmas,\u201d reveals the 67-year-old actor. \u201cAs soon as the Christmas episodes are shown, I\u2019m usually sat in January thinking \u2018what the heck am I going to do with the Christmas tree this year?\u2019 But this felt much freer. So it was, what would Agnes do if she was rich? Or what would she do if she was depressed?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Indeed, the opening episode sees Agnes feeling low about her life, but Brendan found ways to still bring the laughs \u2013 and send out a positive message.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d never done Agnes as depressed and everybody gets depressed at some point,\u201d he says. \u201cI wanted to make sure that Agnes did contact the doctor, as that\u2019s what you have to do when you\u2019re depressed, you can\u2019t handle it on your own. But as well as that, of course it had to be funny! So, at the same time the doctor is trying to cure Agnes\u2019s depression, he\u2019s also trying to cure granddad\u2019s constipation. That was super fun!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys is a family affair more than just on screen. Famously, Brendan\u2019s wife, sister and children all appear on the show \u2013 something clear he adores.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve done a couple of movies without my family, and I missed them,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen we go on tour, we do two months in Australia and we take all the kids\u2013 we bring nannies and tutors for them. So I get two months with my grandsons and my sons and my daughter and my in-laws and it\u2019s all amazing. Of course, we have family feuds. But in fact, going on stage every night or onto the studio floor really helps as you have to leave those things behind you. I suppose you could say that the family that plays together, stays together!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Brown's Boys airs on Friday, September 8th at 9.30pm on BBC One<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
