Such an AMAZING comedy series! One of the best ever! But... this has to go down as the WORST xmas special ever! What did they do to the format!? Well over the top! And what is it with the ridiculous characters for Cheryl's boyfriends??? The whole beauty of the Series, were that they were subtle. Big own goal this Xmas special. Unlike The New Sofa, which was a really good Xmas special.
Ian, I don't think this show is implying that all working class people are like this. This is about a particular family and their close friends. I think the actors in this are really talented because there is no action to rely on. All the entertainment comes from the little things they say and do. And I love how Nana enjoys winding up Jim. I never get tired of this programme.
I enjoyed the part where he said "If I don't get the "STOLEN" batteries back in me bloody remote and I have to go to the shop, I ain't coming back" and when he call Barbara an "Awld Witch" Mr. Royle is hillarious.
Ah ah, I can only understand half of each sentence. It really is a shame there ain't subtitles for this floatin' around on the web, I remember loving this when I saw it on TV as a young teen.
All I am saying is that it seems the whole ENTIRE show is nothing but Dole people on the couch watching the "telly". A change of scenery would be nice.
When I grew up British comedy meant girls in kickers chasing Benny Hill back and forth.
@ThoughtTraveler if you really think Benny Hill is/was the pinacle of British Comedy then you clearly ain't in any position to judge this. The whole point of this is our imagination fills in the blanks of the people and places they mention that we don't see. If we did actually see them/it then it wouldn't be as funny. The writing, acting, and the way the characters interact with each other is what mkes it funny not the setting! and it's SOFA not Couch!
A lot of Dole folk sitting around watching the Telly? More aspersions cast at the English Working Class. We are not all ignorant corpulent couch potatoes.
And I don't give a monkeys if you think I am daft - do you think this to be clever comedy? The Vicar of Dibly was a MUCH better show and the people in it had talent.
@The1stPoster nahh it is well better my family is good like but abit shit the same old thing this is always in the house apart from christmas one's but it has somthing diffrent each time my family don't
The first 21 episodes (series 1 - 3 and queen of sheba) are some of the best TV ever produced, now they're just milking it and it reminds me a little of what has happend to the simpsons (another all time great for its first decade).
@RobohX360 milking it? are you serious? they don't sell millions of pounds merch like the simpsons, pretty stupid comparison. plus the royle family has NEVER gone downhill. the one off specials are just as good. and how many have they had? in the last ten years, only 3-the simpsons? they make 20 episodes every year!. and the specials of the royle family were all great. how is this milking it? greatest comedy EVER. even matt groenings a big fan.
Boring rubbish. This programme is for twats who probably watch Eastenders and Corrie as well. It is not funny and the actors are talentless. If you find anything funny in this programme then you are a stupid cunt!
lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo best comedy ever
this stuff has to be paid for somehow dude, id rather watch a full documentary on 4od youtube and only have to watch two adverts than watch it on tv and have to watch 20-30 different ones, aslong as it doesent become like that im fine with a few adverts on youtube, more revenue for companies like channel 4 and bbc means better programming
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@HeatProtection Oh! MAN! I TRIPPLE THAT 'Motion!' Oh yah! Geezus, Man! I'm runnin' away frumma fekkin' 'commercial onslaught' ever'ware I turn! Stopped payin' ferra damned T.V., but no escape: Radio is even werse -- 7 min. of commercials/news/O'Blah'Blah ever'quarter hour! E-Z math -- impossible lissenin' 'pleasure!
Like "Victor" would say: I don't BELEEVE IT!" Eh? (Thx 'HeatProtection!' I'll betcha were among millions!) //^_^\\
See this is what went wrong with Coronation Street - it's not about people like this, which is what it was originally about - they're all too good looking and glamorous now with sensationalist storylines. Keep it real!
my favourite bit in the royle family was in series 1 when it was jims birthday and they were all going down the feathers and jim said "get your coat on barb", barb said "are you taking me with you?", jim says "no i'm going to turn the fire off" that makes me laugh every time!
Some of us Yanks live like this, too--glued to the TV and shifting our bones only to get munchies or visit the can--very funny! Wish more Americans had fallen in love with this classic show. So many faces recognized!
