As Mrs Brown’s Boys is watched by 11million and was voted the 21st-century’s best sitcom, it’s a safe bet for Beeb commissioners.
An industry source said: “The BBC are really excited about the premise.
“It’s set to be a lively family show, which sees contestants play games and answer questions. Bosses know that Mrs Brown’s Boys has a fiercely loyal following who can be relied on to  tune in to see whatever Brendan is getting up to.
“There’s hope it will become a staple entertainment show.”
The programme is being overseen by Hungry Bear Media, the production company that is also behind the sitcom’s chatshow spin-off, All Round To Mrs Brown’s, which is due to return next year.
Producers are currently looking for members of public to take part in the  series, with an ad reading: “We’re looking to create a fun, exciting atmosphere in studio and will be inviting members of the audience to come down and take part in the gameplay.”

The new show starring Brendan seems to be a safe bet for Beeb commissioners in light of his success as Agnes Brown

It will be yet another string to  Brendan’s bow, with Mrs Brown’s Boys due to return for a Christmas special, this time minus regular actor RORY COWAN.
Rory quit  earlier year because he dreaded all the touring the cast have to do for the live versions of the show.
Hopefully Brendan will find a creative writing solution — and then, minus wig and frock  — still wow  viewers on his new show.

SHOCKING NEWS! Dermot O'Neill Who Plays Grandad Brown In Mrs Brown's Boys Set To Leave In 2020

Harold Brown , better known as  Grandad  is the father of the late Redser and father-in-law to Agnes. Grandad is fairly fit for his age, being able to walk without a stick and is seen very nearly running in one episode. He gets on well with the family; however, with Agnes, this is a different matter altogether. The two have a deep rivalry, and are sometimes quite horrible to each other, examples of which include: Agnes forcing Grandad to sing a Western song and hitting him with a tray, Grandad trapping Agnes behind the Christmas tree, Agnes trying to get rid of Grandad for two weeks and Grandad referring to her as "The Twat". Despite their animosity to each other, Agnes and Grandad have been shown to genuinely care for each other, even if they conceal it very well. On Valentine's Day, Grandad gave flowers to Agnes and admitted that he thought his son was foolish for taking Agnes for granted. On another occasion, when Grandad was to go to the hos...

Wonderful news for the 67-year-old actor who plays the role of Grandad on the show. Over Christmas, he was rushed to hospital with the illness so we're glad to see he's on the mend Mrs Brown's Boys star Dermot O'Neill says he is "over the moon" after getting the all-clear from cancer. The 67-year-old actor, who plays the role of Grandad on the hugely popular sitcom, was concerned that he had suffered a relapse in recent weeks, however he has been given good news instead. Dermot explained that his neck was swollen, which forced him to pull out of appearing in the new series of All Round To Mrs Brown with his friend Brendan O'Carroll. While his scan was initially delayed due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Dermot was finally seen to by doctors last week who delivered the happy news that he was cancer-free. "I'm over the moon, it's such a load off my mind,...
