I only discovered this last night, but my god it is funny
Despite my love for my adopted country, I just don't [i]get[/i] a lot of Scottish televisual humour. This is in the [i]lot[/i] camp.
isn't it Irish though?? It's written by the same people who did Father Ted???
I'm rubbish at accents

Quite possibly - I get very confused between some Glasgow and Irish accents.
Starting in February, a new BBC One comedy starring Brendan O'Carroll as loud-mouthed Irish matriarch Agnes Brown. Her favourite pastime is meddling in the lives of her six children.
So it is. 😳
Yup definitely Irish and it's ok bit great but not bad.
It's written by the guy who plays Mrs Brown.
I saw the stage version a few years back and from what I can remember this is the same stuff. All the forgetting lines and cameras bumping into stuff is part of the act.
Quite funny though.
It's based in Dublin, nothing like Glasgow accent! They have a play touring over here this year too, meant to be very good.
Main character is Brendan O'Carroll, writes it and most of cast his family.
Haven't been able to bring myself to watch it, don't know why, I should give it a try.

Yeah, whatever.
Well I didn't know that...
From wikipedia
[i]Cast

I know I should hate it but it's had me doubled over at times. I'm not sure it would be so funny if it wasn't in an Irish accent. The episode where she waxed had me in tears.
the waxing one was funny!
When she was doing the cross word and she said "another word for Hemaroide beginning with N and ending in N....NNNNNNNGHHNNNN"
Haha comedy gold
There is a Scottish connection, its filmed in Glasgow.
Liked the one where she was in labour that long she had to be shaved twice. Ouch....
Maybe just me, but I switch over the second I catch sight of it - can't stand it.
And that's from an Irishman who lives in Scotland.
