It's full of that crushing, down-to-earth refusal to indulge in any faff too. 'What did you hope I'd be?' recieves the flattest, most brutally pessimistic reply - 'your father's.' Don't come round here with this fancy talk, mate.<br />Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-74363232148203174172014-07-16T20:46:30.024+01:002014-07-16T20:46:30.024+01:00I am a passing fan of the program, and I do love a...I am a passing fan of the program, and I do love a well crafted oneliner. Such as when one of Mrs Browns sons is feeling unworthy on the eve of his wedding and asks his mother,<br />'Ma, what did you hope i'd be when i was born?'<br />to which his distracted and harrassed mother replies 'your fathers' <br />BlotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-70889925390746005992014-07-12T11:30:33.659+01:002014-07-12T11:30:33.659+01:00I agree, Jo.

Even while writing this, I wondered whether the series would be so popular if Mrs. Brown was played,equally well or even better,by an actress.<br /><br />I'd like to see a more mainstream return of 'the drag kings' too - women who played, and guyed, men. They were popular in the music-hall era, but apart from a few brief - and very funny sketches - by French and Saunders, they seem to have vanished, though the drag-queen is still with us - and she's welcome. I'd just like to laugh at her consort too.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-76669813037361372602014-07-12T10:06:18.702+01:002014-07-12T10:06:18.702+01:00Oh alright, I 'll give it another try.

Intake your point about Mrs Brown's Boys - but we're still a long way from older women being treated respectfully in the media.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.com
