They have commissioned a full series of Up the Women though...

...which is one of the best sitcoms the BBC has had in years.

Mrs Brown's boys is dreadful but popular, so they are pretty much obliged to recommission it. For every embarrassingly terrible sitcom like Citizen Khan and My Family, we get great stuff like Outnumbered, Twenty Twelve and The Thick of It.
