Comedy legend Ben Elton has hit out at the 'abuse' that BBC sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys and its creator Brendan O'Carroll have received over the years
Ben Elton has defended the BBC One sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys, calling it "insane" that the show receives any backlash. The 65 year old comedian, known for his work on iconic series like Blackadder and The Young Ones, described the show as "so inoffensive" and praised the cast as "brilliant" actors with "perfect timing".
The star, whose own TV show was axed in 2013, added: "They’re doing a type of comedy you may not find appealing because maybe you’re embarrassed about the fact you have no understanding of why it’s funny, so you can’t give yourself over to it."
