'' | ''Mrs. Brown's Boys''{{'}}s festive specials have consistently been a staple of [[BBC One]]'s Christmas and New Year schedules since the show's first broadcast year of 2011. | ||
After an earlier two years of being shown on either [[Christmas Eve]] or [[Boxing Day]], the show's Christmas specials have consistently been broadcast on [[Christmas Day]] beginning from 2013, as a result, being pitted against ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s own Christmas specials in the ratings for the day. For every one of those years, the ''Mrs. Brown'' special would rank higher than ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s in the ratings for the week.<ref>''Public Image'' column, [[DWM 470]], [[DWM 483|483]], [[DWM 496|496]], [[DWM 509|509]], [[DWM 520]].</ref> | |||
Beginning from 2015, ''Mrs. Brown'' has also regularly broadcast an additional special on [[New Year's Day]], with ''Doctor Who'' once again having to compete against it following its annual festive special's move from Christmas Day in 2019. In contrast to the Christmas specials, ''Doctor Who'' managed to receive higher ratings for the week.<ref>''Public Image'' column, [[DWM 535]], [[DWM 548|548]], [[DWM 561|561]], [[DWM 574|574]].</ref> | |||
