Mrs Brown’s Boys is set to air a fully live episode to celebrate 60 years since the first episode of Hancock’s Half Hour. The live special will mark the star of the BBC’s Landmark Sitcom Season next summer.
Brendan O’Carroll, who stars as Mrs Brown, said: “This is very exciting. When I heard the BBC were letting us go fully live I thought, ‘They’ve lost their minds! I’m seriously delighted about this. As Mrs Brown’s Boys started in the theatre it gives us a chance to show the TV audience LIVE what we really do. Put the kids to bed early!”
BBC1 boss Charlotte Moore said: “The experience of going to a live record of Mrs Brown’s Boys is extraordinary. Brendan O’Carroll is probably one of the only comedy talents who could pull this off.”
