This is either very good or very bad news depending on your views on a show that divides opinion like few others.
RTÉ have announced that Brendan O’Carroll’s brand new chat show, All Round to Mrs Brown’s, is joining its Saturday night line-up.
The show will go out before the Ray D’Arcy Show on Saturday nights, which RTÉ say will “deliver a one-two punch of knock-out entertainment”.
There are no doubt those who would beg to differ.
The six-part series will be simulcasted with the BBC on RTÉ One this Saturday, 25 March at 9.15pm with Pamela Anderson, Judy Murray (the mother of tennis star Andy) and Louis Walsh all being interviewed by Agnes Brown (Brendan O’Carroll) and her daughter Cathy (Jennifer Gibney), together with music from James Blunt and lots of surprises.
Commenting on the show, Brendan O’Carroll said: “There’s nothing Agnes likes more than getting everyone round to hers for a cup of tea and a chat. We’re very proud of our new show and guarantee loads of craic and mayhem. I’m feckin’ delighted that Irish audiences are going to see it on RTÉ One this weekend.”
Regular Saturday night viewers of RTÉ One should note that Winning Streak will be broadcast at the earlier time of 7.40pm, followed by news and weather at 8.45pm.
