‘Worst show the BBC has EVER aired' returns to TV tonight – after racism controversy and apology
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SHOW that viewers dubbed as the 'worst ever on the BBC' returns to screens tonight despite being shrouded in controversy. Mrs Brown's Boys has been a magnet for criticism since its launch and came under fire amid a racism scandal last year involving its lead star and creator, Brendan O'Carroll. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Mrs. Brown's Boys is back on screens this evening Credit: BBC 3 But some fans have dubbed it the worst show the BBC has ever made Credit: BBC It first launched in 2011 and now it will begin its fifth full-length series this evening. Currently scheduled to air at 9:30pm, it seems like telly watchers will be opting not to tune in after branding it the 'worst' show ever. Commenting on the programme on X: "Worst programme in human history should've never been commissioned." Another added: "Just speechless... I honestly don't know one person who thinks this show is remotely funny." A third also posted: "I don't know anyone who will admit to liking, or even just watching, this show." Brendan was forced to apologise over a racial joke but later told how he thought it was a "good thing" for the BBC as it allowed them to raise awareness. Crew were left 'shocked' when O'Carroll made a racial slur during rehearsals for the beloved comedy's Christmas special and complained to bosses. Production was suspended whilst the Beeb launched an investigation and he later said he 'deeply regretted' his "clumsy attempt at a joke". However, he bizarrely shared his belief the BBC came out of it well, as it showed they took action. Brendan said: 'The one thing that that incident did is give great awareness about racism, and great awareness about the BBC, they don't take any messing. Mrs Brown's Boys star SNOGS his own father in stomach-churning Christmas special scenes 'The context of it… it was completely taken out of context 'However I think in the long run it was a good thing, because it got people talking about it.' Brendan was speaking for the first time about the row on an Irish YouTube show, Conversations With Gerry Kelly.

Peter Kennard to open Gaza exhibition in Edinburgh's Palestine museum
The exhibition of new work aims to reveal the 'context and complexities' of the ongoing situation, rather than simply depicting the horrors of war, and will launch at the Palestine Museum in Scotland in conjunction with the Edinburgh Festival this month. Kennard, who is a pioneering artist and activist, is celebrated for his impactful photomontages that critique politics, war, and a range of social issues. Through his art, Kennard seeks to highlight the complicity of Western governments and their active support for Israel, encouraging viewers to think critically about the situation. READ MORE: Meet the 21-year-old asylum seeker who has earned a spot at top Scottish art school His exhibition features a series of prints made using a variety of mediums, including photomontage, double-exposed photographs, drawing, and paint, in response to the ongoing conflict. Kennard explained that as an artist, he felt 'impelled' to create images which would make people think about the massacre taking place in Gaza while the world's political leaders look on. 'A horrific genocide is now taking place on the civilian population in Gaza, the children, women, and men, who are being starved, bombed, and shot,' he said. 'As an artist, I feel impelled to try and make images that will allow the general public to think about the massacre taking place, while the world's political leaders look on or openly support the genocide by sending weapons to Israel.' The showcase will run daily from 9 August to the end of the month from 11am-6pm and is free to attend. With a career spanning over five decades, Kennard has produced notable images of resistance and dissent, as he aimed to address topics such as the Vietnam War, the Anti-Apartheid Movement, and environmental activism. His work has been exhibited globally, and he has been recognised as one of 'Britain's most important political artists'. The Palestine Museum in Scotland, located on Dundas Street, features work from a range of Palestinian artists showcasing paintings, sculptures and installations. The museum is the first of its kind in Europe and aims to counteract the 'dehumanisation' of the Palestinian people by illustrating their culture and narrative through art. It is the first branch of an existing museum in Woodbridge, Connecticut called the Palestine Museum US and showcases work from both international and local Palestinian artists.
