Mrs. Brown's Boys - Season 1 (2011)

Annoyed that Maria thinks she's too old to come to her hen night, Agnes tries to discover its location from Dermot, but she is misinformed and crashes in on a giant dildo....and discovers that she's at a solemn wake. To make amends and prove that she's a perfect middle-class hostess, she invites Maria's mother to a meal served by Rory and his friend Dino, but she's so nervous that she gets disastrously drunk; meanwhile, determined to impress, she has had a second toilet fitted into a downstairs cupboard.

Suffering from pre-nuptial nerves, Dermot shuts himself into the cupboard under the stairs, so he's still there when Father Quinn arrives to give the happy couple their premarital talk. What finally draws Dermot out is Buster's moving best-man speech (initially he could find nothing good to say about the groom) and he promptly asks Agnes if he and Maria can live with her. Agnes also discovers that her son Rory is gay after Cathy gives her a book on homosexuality, but she accepts the news with her usual tactless tolerance: "I know all about your illness."

While newlyweds Maria and Dermot feel stressed not having their own place, Father Quinn fears that he is losing his parishioners to another church, and Grandad decides he wants a dummy-run of his funeral so he can hear the mourners pay him tributes. Agnes makes funeral arrangements but initially mistakes the visiting Mormons who are responsible for Father Quinn's problem for undertakers. However, she eventually engages them in a religious argument about the absurdity of Noah's ark that sends them running. At the funeral, none of the mourners have anything nice to say ...

Mrs. Brown and her family get ready for Christmas--always a hectic time at the Browns'. Buster is his usual self, selling Mrs. Brown a tin of outdated biscuits and a "fresh" turkey. This year Mrs. Brown wants the Virgin Mary role in the church Nativity play. This Christmas what she really wants more than anything else is to have her whole family around her, including her son Trevor who is away doing missionary work.
