THE MIGHT OF the Irish mammy took over Sky One last night, as Irish TV presenter Baz Ashmawy and his 71-year-old mother’s new show premiered.
50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy sees Baz taking Nancy on a whirlwind trip around the world trying out things like sky diving, scuba diving and crocodile wrestling.
It wasn’t long before #50WaysToKillYourMammy was trending on Twitter… much to some users’ consternation:

Thankfully most people using the hashtag were actually watching – and loving – the show. The Guardian has already called it “TV gold”, with the relationship between Baz and his mammy at the heart of the programme.
