Brendan O'Carroll has revealed some details about the highly-anticipated Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas special.
The comedy is an annual ratings winner for RTE and the BBC with this year's string of shows expected to be no different.
Creator and star Brendan O'Carroll has hinted at some of the storylines coming this year as excitement builds.
Brendan told the Sunday World: "For Christmas Day it’s all about the shortage of Christmas trees. Looks like Agnes will not have a tree, but up steps Buster Brady.
“Agnes has joined the church choir but there’s a catch – Fr McBride has made it clear there’s to be no singing and no dancing.
“There’s also a murder mystery in Foley’s in aid of alcoholic greyhounds."
The Irishman added that the New Year's special will see grandad's brother Mickey get out of prison and he's on the hunt for cash to invest in a gold mine.

Speaking of the plot, Brendan explained: ''They all thought he (Mikey) was in prison for life, he's a conman; but he gets out of prison and he's coming over from Liverpool to see Grandad."
He added that Mikey is actually there to con Granddad out of five grand and that Agnes does her best during the episode to try and stop him.
Writer and lead actor Brendan O'Carroll has also confirmed that the first of the two specials has already been recorded and that rehearsals were underway for the second.
