Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys<\/a> creator and lead, Brendan O\u2019Carroll, simply isn\u2019t bothered about the backlash to his show from critics and some members of the public.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Carroll, who has played the title character in all four seasons of the comedy, was responding to the backlash to this year\u2019s festive episode<\/a>, with some calling it \u201cthe worst television show\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I\u2019m well aware that comedy is very subjective,\u201d he told BBC Radio Sounds. \u201cWhat some people like, other people just detest. So I don\u2019t take it too serious.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Carroll noted that the show continues to be a hit among families and has helped children with autism over the years.<\/p>

He explained: \u201cWhen we started\u2026 by about the fourth or fifth episode, we got a couple of letters from people who had autistic children.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started as a couple of letters and it\u2019s now been over 3,000. And they said that their kids watched Mrs Brown and they heard them laugh in context for the very first time. One woman said she was in the \u00adkitchen and heard her son laughing for the very first time.<\/p>\n
