Speaking of the beloved sitcom\u2019s return, he said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s a huge thrill to do another \u2018live\u2019 show for the BBC. It\u2019ll be so wonderful so see them nervous all over again. We will be trying our best to stick to the script, but honestly a script is just a guideline. Ha ha ha! Bring it on! \u201d<\/p> <p>BBC boss Charlotte Moore added: \u201cI\u2019m thrilled that we are marking the 10th anniversary of the award winning Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys coming to BBC One with this very special live broadcast. A huge thank you to Brendan and the team for keeping us all so brilliantly entertained for a decade.
