Mrs Brown’s Boys loses 8,500,000 viewers as fans complain ‘it’s got even worse’
It's the 'lowest ever' rating.

Mrs Brown’s Boys is somehow back for another season, but its viewership has dropped off a cliff amid growing calls to axe the show.
The BBC comedy returned on Friday night after a two-year break and a widely-panned Christmas special to a viewership of 1,500,000 fans.
This is a whopping 8.5million down from Mrs Brown’s Boys’ heyday and a far cry from its once lofty title of ‘best British sitcom’ less than a decade ago.
While overnight ratings are criticised for not showing the full picture in the age of streaming, they do highlight just how far the once-popular comedy has fallen.
Launching in 2011, the series follows the life of the interfering Agnes Brown (played by writer and creator Brendan O’Carroll) and her family.
It’s proven one of the most divisive shows of all time, with this series cementing viewers’ opinions that the ‘axe looms’.
