Mrs Brown's Boys

Agnes hasn't seen her youngest son Trevor in four years, and wants him home from the missions for Christmas. Hillary intends on having Maria and Dermot over for Christmas dinner.

After faking Grandad's death, the Brown family are still waiting for the insurance money to come through. Agnes has promised the money to Dermot and Maria, who are desperate for a place of their own, but the insurance company is starting to get suspicious. Will Agnes be able to keep Grandad out of sight, or will one of the family give the game away?

Agnes is upset that her son Trevor has been called back to the missions in Africa, but is determined to give him a massive send-off to remind him what a loving family he has back home in Ireland. Meanwhile, daughter Cathy's family counselling session descends into chaos, and Buster and Dermot run into trouble with a circus lion. The only person having a good day is neighbour Winnie.

Baby fever hits the Brown household as a pregnant Maria prepares for motherhood, and Agnes is keen to give her new daughter-in-law her unique brand of advice about raising children. Maria is grateful when Agnes offers to look after the robot baby she has brought home from her pre-natal class, but it turns out that Mrs Brown's babysitting techniques are not exactly orthodox.

Concerned about her weight, Agnes decides to go on a diet and quickly discovers just how difficult it is to overcome her craving for fish and chips. Elsewhere, Cathy brings home her new, much older boyfriend.

Spartacus, the old family dog, is looking poorly. Reluctantly, the family decide the time has come to put her in a home. However, when the Brown children gather together to decide how to break the sad news to their mother, Agnes gets the wrong end of the stick. Under the impression that her children are planning on putting her in a nursing home, a furious Agnes sets out to persuade her children she is not going senile.
