The new TV chat show, which will air later in the year, will be called “All Round to Mrs Brown”. In it, Agnes Brown will invite guests into her home and there promises to be “shenanigans” and “outrageous stunts”. The BBC decided to give the show the green light after a pilot was filmed, which insiders say was “absolutely joyous”.
Speaking about the new show, O’Carroll said: “The entire cast is excited by this. I think Agnes may be worried that she’ll need a bigger kettle to make tea for everyone that’s coming round!”
Mrs Brown’s comedy show pulled in a staggering 9million viewers in the UK on Christmas Day and also won a recent Radio Times poll as being the “most popular sitcom” of the 21st century.
