Love it (we do) or hate it?

The film is on BBC1 at 2115 - think it is based on the original books.

You're right, hope tomorrow's special is better - the cameo appearance by @old-mo was almost funny though.

Only ever seen trailers for the programme - which were enough to ensure we've never seen the programme itself! We watched an old edition of QI XL instead.

Def marmite then.. But I am a fan and enjoy the tv shows.. Found the film a bit frustrating to be honest
Certainly enjoyed last nights offering.. Watched it this morning as was partying last night !

The film based on the books is Agnes Browne, made in 1999.

The current Mrs Brown series' are very, very loosely based on Brendan O'Carroll's original books, which are an excellent read.

Like the TV show, the film was a bit weaker, but still amusing.
I can't understand how people can get to retiring age and still be offended by a few effs and Bees..
Bloody funny series..

 

[Chockswahay]

Hate it ........... not funny ........... just vulgar

 

[Charlie]

Love it ! Its FUN and its about the delivery as much as anything.. Sorry but some here sound like right miserable old buggers.. Sure the jokes are old but most are ...... Best bits are when someone forgets a line..

Maybe not the best programme ever that is reserved in my book for Fools and Horses . But compared to the crap that is on most of the time its ace !

Loved it!

 

[Irishrover]

He started out doing Mrs Brown on the Gerry Ryan Radio Show as little " Funny " fillers.....Think he then done some TV shows but was dropped after a while by RTE....Next thing you know British TV signed him up and the Brits have been loving him since! Fair play to his success....still find it dire though

I suspect "Marmite" covers it, However, it is one of the few "modern" "comedy" shows SWMBO will actually watch!!. which considering her aversion to all "foul" language is something of a Mystery!. The film was mediocre, but the "live" shows with all the Mistakes etc; can be hilarious!. Reminds me a bit of the two Ronnie`s done live, plus some £8*8£!.!!.

The language is coarse..but the setting is as basic in life as it gets and in many ways represents what I as a boy bought up on a council estate saw.. Only on the programme it's funny....

The film was a wee bit disappointing but the rest is epic. I can relate to a woman who lived up our road when I was a kid who is or should I say was the image of Agnes not only in looks but the way she spoke... God I grew up on a rough manor !!

Same here. I also relate greatly to Father Ted, being dragged up on a Catholic on a council estate in Liverpool
