Watching The Royle Family now on Gold. What a cast. Perfect
Early Doors ran for longer so is harder to sustain the greatness, but both highlighted the brilliance, warmth and wit of the working class, as well as the streetwise loveable rogue side at times.
All my favourite do tbf. Auf Pet, Porridge, OFAH etc
Early doors ran for 2 series (12 episodes) and Royle Family ran for 3 series + specials.
MiguelagennSorry meant to say Royle Family ran for longer to counter BS62’s argument. Think there was close to 30 episodes of it altogetherEarly Doors ran for longer so is harder to sustain the greatness, but both highlighted the brilliance, warmth and wit of the working class, as well as the streetwise loveable rogue side at times.

MiguelagennAherne was equal to the best in her era for me, although Peter Hook would have her down as slightly more than troubled.
Quite. Love Aherne's work, an amazing talent, gone too soon. Think the airbrushing out of domestic violence is grim (referring to her divorce from Hook as 'acrimonious' in the Guardian article is bullcrap) and should be highlighted no matter how brilliant the accused is.
Then again she got punched by Hooky when she was trying to break up a fight between him and her new boyfriend, so…

Though in fairness to The Grauniad they did run this article.
As often in these stories there are other views too.

'Denise are you sure it wasn't just a great big piss'
All brilliant, but I've just watched a couple of Father Ted's and am all laughed out.
Going to sleep the day off ready for a day of wall to wall football tomorrow.
Life's good. Enjoy it all.

What a wonderful, funny, heartwarming programme. An absolute comedy genius
Jim Royle “I paid a pound for these pants and 50p of them is stuck up me arse!”
Yeah watched it. Brilliant. You can tell how loved she was by everyone.
The clip of Mrs Merton with Chris Eubank still makes my toes curl 😬
I watched it all. Brilliant. She was so talented.
Never seen the Mrs Merton Bernard Manning one before. She really showed him up to be the nasty, racist idiot he was/is.
