Hello world! It’s December 6 so it’s *almost* Christmas! Close enough, anyway, to continue on my quest to be a Better Book Blogger, and do my very first Christmas related book tag! Yay!!

FOR FACTS SAKE- Episode one review.

FOR FACTS SAKE- Episode one review.

Despite it being a very overcrowded genre, when done well TV panel shows are still a joy to watch.  I’m thinking here of Would I Lie to You?, the best panel show on the telly right now.  The format remains fresh because the stories and panellists remain as funny as ever.  Watch the ones with Bob Mortimer in them because they are always comedy gold.

However, when done badly a panel show can become…

Mrs Brown’s Boys stars Brendan O’Carroll regrets not having kids with wife Jennifer!

Mrs Brown’s Boys has always been more than a bit of a family affair, but it seems that there are a few characters missing in the eyes of the show’s creator and main star, Brendan O’Carroll.

Arguably one of the biggest charms of this now epic BBC comedy is the fact that almost every member of the cast is related to O’Carroll in some way, or other. (more…)

Agnes Browne Mamma, di Brendan O'Carroll

Agnes Browne Mamma, di Brendan O'Carroll:un'eroina sagace e sboccata nella verde Irlanda @NeriPozza @GajaCenciarelli

Come Mark, uno dei protagonisti, Brendan O’Carroll ha una caterva di fratelli. Come lui, ha smesso di studiare a 12 anni per lavorare. Come lui, è irlandese.
