A scene from the British sitcom, ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys.’

Accepting others, and most importantly, themselves, for who they truly are is one of the most important elements in life. That vital theme is a major motivator in the British sitcom, ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys,’ which was produced by BBC Scotland. Actor Brendan O’Carroll starred on, and created, the television show, on which he played his drag persona, the title Agnes Brown.

The series is currently airing on the BBC One channel on Filmon TV.

Episode 2 of Series 2 of ‘Mrs. Brown’s Boys,’ which is titled ‘Mammy’s Coming!,’ was written by Brendan O’Carroll, and directed by Ben Kellett. It follows Agnes as she becomes upset that her son Trevor (Martin Delany) has been called back to the missions in Africa. But she’s determined to give him a massive send-off to remind him what a loving family he has back home in Ireland. Meanwhile, daughter Cathy’s (Jennifer Gibney) family counseling session descends into chaos, and Buster and Dermot (Danny O’Carroll and Paddy Houlihan) run into trouble with a circus lion.
