The Royle Family is a popular, BAFTA award-winning television comedy drama produced by Granada Television for the BBC, which ran for three series between 1998 and 2000,and specials from 2006 onwards. It is about the lives of a television-fixated Manchester family, the Royles.
The series features simple production values and a stereotypical portrayal of state benefit dependent family life at the turn of the millennium. It therefore has something in common with kitchen sink drama. The scripts contain often banal conversations. Almost all of the episodes take place in the Royles' home; most centre on the telly-centric living room. The first series of the show was written by Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash, who also acted in it, along with poet and comedian Henry Normal. In the second series Aherne and Cash were joined by Carmel Morgan, and finally the third series was written by Aherne and Cash alone.
The series reunited Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston who had previously played married couple Bobby and Sheila Grant in Brookside from 1982 until Tomlinson's departure in 1988 and Johnston's in 1990.
In a list of the 100 greatest British television programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2000 and voted on by industry professionals, The Royle Family was placed 31st. In a 2004 poll to find Britain's best sitcom, The Royle Family was placed 19th out of 100 nominations.

It depends if you're watching it for 100% comedy or 100% story or 100% something else
you have to balance out what you're looking for

What? You must have a strange sense of humour.
Though, I could understand if somebody was really upper class or something and didn't get it. You have to be in a specific audience to find it funny really.

Yeah. You've got to be upper working/lower middle class to get the best out of it.

I love this show.
It's just Christmas specials now, isn't it? Only the last on ended on a cliffhanger...
The Christmas one where Denise goes into labour in the bathroom is quite funny, if I remember correctly - it's years since I've seen it, though. The Christmas one last year was good, haven't watched this year's yet.

Yeah. They should do a series 4. I mean there's "little david" and lewis as fairly new characters so something to do with them in some episodes, maybe another out-of-the-house episode showing what happens when dave djs or beverly macker?

Barbara sounds different, and Dave and Denise look at least 5 years older.
