Mrs. Brown's Boys: Christmas Crackers

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 Brown a tin of outdated biscuits and a "fresh" turkey.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.

Mrs. Brown accidentally destroys her Christmas tree; and when Father Damien visits to tell her she can't be the Virgin Mary in the church Nativity play because there won't be one this year, she writes her own version. Cathy fools her into believing that she's being filmed secretly for a "mother-of-the-year"-search TV show, and suddenly Mrs. Brown is uncharacteristically nice to everyone.

Agnes prepares for her unorthodox Nativity play, "Men Are Bastards!" She finds parts for all the family and their friends, though the animals provided by Dermot are not exactly biblical. Having survived being locked into a wrist magnet to cure her rheumatism Agnes takes to the stage, but the production is a disaster: Buster's Angel Gabriel gets badly singed, Father Damien's trousers are ripped off him by the magnet, a shocked Hilary faints on stage, and Agnes has lost the Baby Jesus doll and enlists Grandad for the role It's time for Cathy to sack her mother and rally the family for a more traditional Nativity play - though of course Agnes has the last word.
