The Royle Family

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

I'm re watching them all on Netflix and I love it.Yes it's not PC but it was a wonderfully subtle look at "normal" Northern working class family life.Liz smith who played Nana was brilliant.Anyone else a fan?

Ooh yes. Loved it. So true to life.

'What did you have for tea?'

'Can she have wafer thin ham Barbara?'

The Queen of Sheba episode though...

I love it.
I also started watching it again on Netflix. It just one of those shows that makes you feel happy.

I love it.

Nana saying “Michael Crawford”, Barb always asking what people had for their tea, Jim giving funny looks and saying “My arse” and Anthony being treated like a slave.

Did your mum make gravy ?

No.

Don't blame her, it's nearly Summer.

Comedy gold it really was. Well, the first series anyway. The others weren't as good.

Now....how are you fixed for your denim ?

How's your new girlfriend, Twiggy ? We split up, she was a bit of a bike, you know.

I thought you liked that.

You don't want everybody having a go.

'What did you have for tea?'
Spaghetti
Bolognese?
Hoops

Caroline Aherne was so brilliant

I used to hate it - too real and close to home...

Now the years have past, I can enjoy it!

Me and DP rewatched them all the other week, they're brilliant. There's a couple of episodes that are real tear jerkers though! The one when Denise is in labour with baby David in the bathroom with her dad gets me every time

Episode of Millionare on t.v. Jim answers, 'Horses Arse' in a posh voice for all the answers to one of the questions.

Another question regards ethanol. Denise chimes in with, 'ooh, I've never had that.'

Funny, yes but I probably grew up in a house not unlike that or knew people who were so close to that it was untrue !

I love it and rewatch often, it's still just as funny as the first time.

It's 21 years since it first aired!

There's a blouse that Denise wears in the first series and I remember having one the same, from New Look 😂

Had no idea it was on Netflix. I love it. Agree with Lilopup. That episode where Denise is in labour leaves me an emotional wreck every time I watch it. I love the "Mambo No.5" DIY episode.

Looking in the "secret cupboard" for hidden chocolate biscuits and Barbara hiding the whisky in the pan cupboard

"Pass me that nappy cream Dave, theres something on baby David's bumhole that I'm not happy with"

They had soup of the day...which was Friday

"Don't worry about me, Barb. I'll eat any old shite!"

My dad and I always say this to my mum when she's dishing up dinner!

You're going to have to change the baby's arse sometime Denise "no way it smells of shite"

The one when Denise is in labour with baby David in the bathroom with her dad gets me every time sad

Same, and just before they head out to her wedding too.

I’ve recently started rewatching too, absolutely brilliant.

‘I paid a pound for these pants and 50p of them are up me arse!’

Love this programme! One I can watch over and over and never get bored. Always in tears when Denise and Jim are on the bathroom floor when her waters break. My favourite episode has to be ‘the new sofa’ though when we meet Dave’s parents at Christmas. ‘Merry Christmas Bar-ber-ra!’

Just watching the decorating one where they all dancing to mambo number 5

A boob job and a Dyson.

That series and Dinner ladies with VW are some of the best written comedies in existence.

Superb.

Royle family and Phoenix nights are always our go tos if we’re sitting round the telly and fancy a laugh.
I was in hospital when the 2nd episode was on. We were watching the tv on the ward and I said shall we watch it. The other patients thought it was about the royal family and pulled faces, couldn’t stop laughing when they watched it.

“Denise, are you sure you didn’t just have a very big piss?”

When Darren is seeing a woman who looks like Tina Turner and twiggy and Jim start singing Private Dancer at him
