Mrs Brown’s Boys, Orange Is The New Mammy, New Year Special, 2020
After three series Mrs Brown’s Boys bowed out in February 2013. Writer Brendan O’Carroll had said it was always ever going to be three series but agreed to continue to produce annual specials.
From December 2013 there has been a Christmas and New year special each year just to remind us that good comedy is still out there.
Orange Is The New Mammy was the 14th festive edition broadcast in 2020.
Summary
Winnie fears for her life when she hears the news that Peggy Piper the Pernod Poisoner is out of prison pending appeal, as she will have to give evidence again at the hearing. Winnie was the witness who had Peggy put in prison, claiming she had seen Peggy poison a glass of Pernod that was then drunk by her husband, Peter.
The Brown family, Dr. Flynn and Father Damien begin to question if Peggy really did poison Peter, and Cathy creates a group campaigning to have Peggy exonerated at her trial.
Elsewhere, Grandad has a mishap with his hearing aid and Dermot and Buster are running a recruiting appeal for the Defence Forces, dressed as Army soldiers and having Buster wear an expensive rented tank prop – which he manages to lose and has to try and find before Dermot finds out.
