I love the Royale Family. The most recent episode was very good. A nice mix of humour and sincere affection for other family members. In this case the death of Nana was done very well.
Quotes from Royale Family
Denise (on Jim's birthday cake) - "Come on Dad! Blow it out!"
Jim - "I will buggery! There's five minutes left in that - save on the lecky."
(Jim is the archetypal tight northener) "Its like Blackpool illumination in this house..."
"The Royle Family is set in a humble council house somewhere in Greater Manchester; the camera position was usually fixed, rarely leaving the sitting room and never once leaving the house. The characters mostly sat, and sat, and sat, and their television was rarely switched off, providing a permanent background drone to the conversations, and a convenient filler when dialogue had lapsed or become too tense or awkward. The characters were all 'couch potatoes', and their dialogue - typically spoken while they remained focused on the TV screen - was genuinely humdrum, with few obviously 'smart' lines. And yet the combination was often hysterically funny. It didn't take long for sociologists to realise that this comedy show, depicting a very average working-class family in a very normal working-class setting, was as true to British life, if not more true, as any of the ubiquitous docu-soaps with which it fought for a place in the schedules."
