It was pure genius. I suffer from horrendous anxiety and depression and if i watch The Royle Family it genuinely gets me through it. Its so comforting to watch. And hilarious.
I keep coming back to the royle Family over and over again as its something I grew up on. I can honestly say Caroline's death was one of the first celebrity deaths to make me cry and I still think about her. Absolutely genius.
Can watch this series over and over again . I don’t think there has ever been a show more accurately represent the average working class British family . So beautifully written and acted .
Every time I watch this sweet series, I feel like I'm actually sitting in their living room, and they don't see me, and it amazes me every time, what acting talent everyone has there, and what a great gift it is to be an actor. I know of three actors who, unfortunately are no longer with us. Blessed is their memory.
For me The Royle Family is the perfect time capsule of working class family life in Britain in the 90's. I even loved the silence between dialogue where everyone is just paying attention to the TV, it just made it seem as real as possible and takes me back to my youth where I really related to Anthony as I was the youngest and always called a lazy get too. I hope Caroline left this world knowing she will be remembered and loved for generations to come who will discover this perfect distillation of a moment in time
I don’t think it is a shame, it was fantastic and churning out episode after episode would have ruined it, rather like the Simpsons, great when it started but dreadful now.
I think it is possible as a one-off hour show. The men meet up on a fishing trip and while waiting endlessly for a nibble on the line ,they reminisce and laugh at the highlights of the series. They cadge lifts off Barbara and Cheryl with a few stories wound around that. Dense is off doing something dipsey - can't be seen cos of a debacle bleaching her hair which is green and coming out in handfuls . Barbara is off to see her cousin in Middleton. And Cheryl gets duped into running errands for the guys ( Jim, Anthony & David & Joe ) to get more bait or food etc Nana & Mary are mentioned in the memories but not Twiggy or Denise as the former do die as part of the storyline. I really think it could be done. Jim & Antony have their usual tussle over who knows how to fish & bozo Dave can't do anything right. Oh yes & Joe ! He's happy ! Just Staring at the water for hours ! Think it would be rather nice. Life does carry on whether we like it or not !! Might as well take a peek.
@@gbmruk123Never say never. I'm hoping against hope. Wishful thinking, that maybe, the creators of this show, will one day phone up the actors and actresses, and possibly ask them to do a few one-off episodes. Like I said, I'm just wishful thinking. I just would like to see how the characters lives developed, as they got older.
I always come back to Nana's death. It makes me cry everytime with the music and everyone rushing into the hospital. My mum and nan (her mum) were really close but my nan and my dad had a turbulent relationship much like in this show, they did have love for each other but they were very stubborn people. I was very little when my nan died but I when I saw this show even though that wasn't how my nan went it just struck a chord because it felt like closure, I could see my nan and relate to it. I don't think I will ever fully process it because I was too young to get the closure I needed but this helps
This is such a special programme, this episode was very special, it touches just about every human on earth regardless of class, whether working class or high class because their family values touched everyone.
I'm a 48 year old former nightclub bouncer who only retired from that occupation last year, a father of 3 grown up children and a huge fan of the Royle Family. But when the one where Nana dies aired on TV, I left the room and refused to watch... And I still haven't managed to force myself to watch it! 😀
You really should watch it buddy. It has laughter all the way through and the sadness is happy too. It's just so real and wonderful viewing. God bless Caroline Aherne x
I find this episode so hard to watch. Especially the part where Nana is having her hair done and singing Que Sera Sera, and Barbara is sobbing behind her
Brilliant British show , especially if your from the United kingdom more so if your from up north Manchester liverpool everyone can relate to this program it was the way off life , masterpiece
I'm from scotland and it's just reminds me of our house. Some of the ornimnets in the royals house everyone had. The black velvet scroll with blackpool tower in shiny glitter 😂😂
People forget that this was The Office before The Office went global. Caroline O'Herne fought tooth n nail to make this the show that it ended up becoming. Against all odds because there really was nothing else like it at the time. Pure vision of her own creativity and she fought forever step of it. Without The Royal Family there is no The Office. And I mean that in all due respect. Beautiful show ❤
"Mary" is a brilliant character. Never fazed. The episode where Dave has dog shite on his Boot, Barbara takes it to the kitchen, Mary comes in. Barbara holds the Boot out, and Mary gives it a good sniffing. :)
One of the absolute best written and acted out comedy's of all time...i absolute love the royles....yeah that scene with Barbara and nana with nana saying "thank you for not putting me in a home"....it absolutely brought me to tears and still does....so well written
I wonder what it was like for Geoffrey Hughes seeing Ricky Tomlinson play a character that was more like Onslow than his own character Twiggy in the show
I wish they had done a fourth series because the characters still had plenty of mileage in them. Now so many members of the cast have passed away it's too late..
Absolute classic comedy, so so funny, every character was excellent , Jim is the most hilarious obviously, genius series, loved this series and still miss it, caroline aherne genius, this was an absolute gem, never been a greater sit com , unforgetable , just thinking about it even now has me in stitches , absolutely brilliant
Caroline at her utmost best , RIP Caroline, Liz Smith,Geoffrey Hughes, what marvellous series i 💕, i never get fed up of re watchihg , the scence where Nana and Barb act through Doris Days "Que Sera" i dont know how they did it , pretty sure not in 1 take xx
Beautifully written and another level of acting.How massively less talented people than these could learn from them.All truly wonderful human beings.Missing out in people like this is why corrie is so shite now.Bring back Eddie Yates.
Absolute genius writing, The only thing that makes me cry every time I see it, Sue Johnson looked after her mum and my mum looked after my lovely Nan , I always cry watching this , Pure genius and so well written in a beautiful way with compassion and love.
I'm suprised Caroline didn't die when the original series was on because she was a alcoholic and she'd be drunk on set but she sorted it out and we all miss her so RIP Caroline. She's bought us one of the worlds best comedies
It was pure genius. I suffer from horrendous anxiety and depression and if i watch The Royle Family it genuinely gets me through it. Its so comforting to watch. And hilarious.
Look after yourself mate. And seek comfort and laughter wherever you find it. Royle Family is a great choice. Timeless
I loved the show. All the best to you.
Same, this lovely show pulled me through a recent dark episode.
I know exactly what you mean,it takes you away from anxiety if only for a short time.
Yes I'm same and I feel cheered up with them.
One of the last shows that reminds you of time before the internet, one of the best British shows of all time.
I keep coming back to the royle Family over and over again as its something I grew up on. I can honestly say Caroline's death was one of the first celebrity deaths to make me cry and I still think about her. Absolutely genius.

The Queen of Sheba was my favourite episode, happiness and tears.

Plato2017 and Doreen Keogh (Mary next door)
All wonderful
Merry had also passed now
Shane Kneeshaw yep
Plato2017 Jim is the best character tho
The show was magic...I am gutted over Caroline and Liz.....rest well ladies..save us a seat on the couch...
And Geoffrey Hughes a.k.a Twiggy

The absolute BEST of British comedy...which in itself is the BEST in the WORLD 🎉❤🎉
What a lovely bunch, RIP Caroline
An absolute master class in acting from all of them . So funny .
Roger My Arse....!!! how many years have past?? That scene still has me on the floor in 2022 🤣🤣🤣
Four of the cast now gone, the greatest comedy show ever broadcast
I got to meet Ricky Tomlinson AKA Jim in Galway last Saturday, shook his hand and got a photo, absolute pleasure to meet him,
Superb writing given to great charactar actors. These guys created something wonderful together.
Ricky is right. The Queen of Sheba is an absolute masterpiece.
This is such a special programme, this episode was very special, it touches just about every human on earth regardless of class, whether working class or high class because their family values touched everyone.
The writing is superb, no canned laughter just genuine talent throughout

RIP Caroline, Geoffrey, liz, and Doreen
THE best episode of the lot. Still brings tears to my eye. Absolute genius
RIP Caroline Ahearne, Liz Smith, Geoffrey Hughes, Peter Martin and Doreen Keough.
One of the many beautiful British made comedies I grew up with!
"Mary" is a brilliant character. Never fazed. The episode where Dave has dog shite on his Boot, Barbara takes it to the kitchen, Mary comes in. Barbara holds the Boot out, and Mary gives it a good sniffing. :)
Yeh 😅😅 euughhhh !!!🤮🤮
RIP Denise & Nana x

Pure magic. They shudda done series more sooner than later .it was so funny 😅😅❤️❤️❤️
The most underrated show.
Why is it?
Underrated? no it isn't
Nope. Well up there in most peoples opinion.
One of the all time Landmark Series. Cheers to all!

“ Did your Mum make Gravy no she couldn’t be arsed “ the funniest line ever !
"Oh I don't blame her it's nearly Summer."
If you're feeling down,watch the Royle family. You're guaranteed to feel better. My Christmas was made even better when I saw Craig Cash in ASDA
cried my eyes out on the last episode
Fantastic telly.
Classic British sitcom never see classics like that again only fools and horses and alot more brilliant and miss them
Dad's Army!
@@AVIARYCOURT there's so many classics some mothers do have em love thy neighbour
I wish they had done a fourth series because the characters still had plenty of mileage in them. Now so many members of the cast have passed away it's too late..
Twiggy explained it best. Laughter, caring and tears. Perfect
TV doesn't usually make me cry but this episode did , and to think Caroline died before Liz made it more upsetting, sadly missed.
Add Doreen Keogh to the list now with Caroline Aherne,Liz Smith and Geoffrey Hughes R.I.P
Absolute classic comedy, so so funny, every character was excellent , Jim is the most hilarious obviously, genius series, loved this series and still miss it, caroline aherne genius, this was an absolute gem, never been a greater sit com , unforgetable , just thinking about it even now has me in stitches , absolutely brilliant
Nana, Denise, Twiggy and Mary all gone, such a shame
Yeh it really is 👍❤️❤️❤️🙏😊

I am sorry, but this episode was not better than the first 3 series put together, Ricky!! Man alive.
I think Mary was at her funniest, when she was sucked up by the Dyson ha ha !!!!!
Love it lol 😂😂
The only Royle Family.
Absolute genius writing, The only thing that makes me cry every time I see it, Sue Johnson looked after her mum and my mum looked after my lovely Nan , I always cry watching this , Pure genius and so well written in a beautiful way with compassion and love.
Shame Anthony and Emma split up. They were nice together.
I'm suprised Caroline didn't die when the original series was on because she was a alcoholic and she'd be drunk on set but she sorted it out and we all miss her so RIP Caroline. She's bought us one of the worlds best comedies
twiggy mary denise nana all gone :(
Liz Smith played sisters in 2.4 children
