Meant to say, Diane. If you haven't seen a series called "Mrs Browns Boys", please look it up. It's not re-watchable, but it is hilarious.

We currently have this on BBC Canada so I could have been watching it - I just have not found the clips funny at all. Funny that, eh.

What amuses me about 'Mrs Brown's ...' is the adlibs and extra comments made to catch out the cast.  They really must have fun making the show.

Are they real ad-libs? In my household the jury is out on that one. I do know a few people who have seen the stage show, and one things for sure...I'm determined to get tickets the next time. Word on the street is that it's hilarious.

Mrs Brown's Boys is incredibly successful, I think its appeal is in its uproariousness, unlike the middle class twaddle that Robert Lindsay appears in (which is also popular). Naturally, a man playing a woman is a handy panto gimmick.

I have to say that Mrs Brown's Boys seems to be a succession of stand up one-liners masquerading as a script, but I'm always being accused of "dissecting" stuff instead of just enjoying it.

How many seasons do you think it will stand up to? I find the format old already, and I hate being critical of someone else's "skills", but I just found the last series a bit same-y and not as funny.   :-\
