Brendan O'Carroll refuses to let the Russians remove gay characters from Mrs. Browns
 

BRENDAN O’Carroll has stood up to the Russians and said: You must keep the gay storyline if you want Mrs Brown’s Boys.
The former Superpower is the latest country to express an interest in creating their own version of the series.

The Russians tried to convince the comedian to allow them to take out the two camp characters, son Rory and his husband Dino, played by Gary Hollywood, but O’Carroll refused.

Rory Cowan, who plays Mrs Brown’s gay son Rory, revealed: “It’s already been sold to Russian and Czech television.

“They are not sure about the gay characters and Brendan is saying, ‘You are not adding or removing characters’.”

The Russians hope the show enjoys the same success as the Romanian version, called Tanti Florica.

Not a big fan of his but good on him for doing that

Russia does not care what he says.

You missed the point. He doesnt care what they want, he's sticking by principles...

Why does anyone want it, I hate that programme with a passion.:yuk:

haha, I haven't even watched it because I just don't find Brendan O'Carroll and his humour funny

If that's the number 1 show in Romania their television must be terrible :laugh:

Is it bad my first thought was ''why would they want it'' same as Cherie...lol

Fair play to him really
