Saw on Facebook that its now 20 years old! Shock
I adore it and watch it over and over. Even the missing episode from series 3 where they leave baby David with Anthony so they can go boozing. Plus all the specials including the brilliant Queen of Sheba.

Dad! Your flies are undone!

Jim Royle: Ah, the cage might be open, but the beast is asleep.

Barbara Royle: Beast my arse!

"I wanted a boob reduction but Dave wouldn't let me.."

"He does work long hours Denise . Be fair" 😂

I think it’s a working class thing rather than a northern thing.

Definitely. My family are working class Cockneys and I couldn’t possibly list the ways that we relate to the Royles. So many of the phrases even are so similar or the same.

When someone knocks on the door - ‘it’s alright it’s only...’

My Grandad played the banjo and many of the songs that Jim does.

I had a turbulent childhood in many ways by RF reminds me that there were good, comfortable bits.

‘Does me hair look shite?’

Said by Denise to Jim just before her wedding and by me ever since whenever I worry my hair looks shite. It helps that I have the pretty much the same accent as Caroline Aherne.

Just watching the episode of Anthony's 18th. The bleached hair, the sovereign ring, the fast show reference (Of course he wants it. It's his present!) So 90s Grin
