And the second episode – titled ‘Mammy’s Hotel’ – see Agnes leap into action after a Winnie and Sharon’s house becomes flooded.
The synopsis teases: “However, it isn’t long before there’s a storm brewing in the Brown household too as Agnes and Cathy discover living with best friends isn’t the picnic they’d imagined.
“Plus, there’s Bono’s 13th birthday to host. It might all seem too much for Agnes, until Buster drops a bombshell.”
Mrs Brown’s Boys is one of the most popular series on TV and has consistently been among the most-watched programming over the Christmas period.
It has pulled in millions and millions to dominate the much-prized Christmas schedules over the past five years.
However, creator Brendan O’Carroll recently hinted the show could be axed in a couple of years.
He said in an interview with the Daily Star: “We are booked to do Christmas specials for the BBC until 2020 but if they go, ‘We are going to drop you as we don’t think it’s strong enough’ then I’d kill Agnes off.
“Our final episode would be the funniest show I’ve ever written for the first 24 minutes. Then the last four minutes would break your feckin’ heart.”
The first episode is expected to stick with BBC tradition and air on Christmas Day itself, but festive telly schedules are yet to be confirmed.
