'Mrs Brown's Boys' set for Christmas specials

'Mrs Brown's Boys' will return for two Christmas specials this year.

The BBC has confirmed two episodes of the comedy show will air over the 2013 festive period, following on from last year's two specials on Christmas Eve and St Stephen's Day, and Irish creator Brendan O’Carroll – who also plays the titular matriarch - is "thrilled" to have been asked to create the new shows.
