Brendan O'Carroll has revealed he cried the first time he stepped out on the set as Mrs Brown and saw his vision come to life for the first time.
The comic first launched the character of Agnes Brown on Irish radio, before graduating to the stage and then hitting screens in the long running BBC show, Mrs Brown's Boys.
Three decades later, the mastermind behind Ireland’s most famous mammy has reflected on the feeling of seeing his writing come to life.
