Just watching the documentary about her on Bbc Two.

She was just so so talented and funny

Wasn’t she incredible? and quite an interesting person

She was wonderful. So talented.

I've been doing my Christmas rewatch of the Royle family Christmas specials, she was a very talented actress and her writing was excellent - the queen of sheba is just spot on, and makes me cry!

She was amazing, loved her as Mrs Merton!

Absolutely amazing 🤩. And making me want to watch royle family all over again.

Just watched it and cried. She was a wonderful talent.

Royle family was fantastic, the episode where she has a baby and The queen of Sheba were real tearjerkers
Makes me miss my Northern childhood

Just finished watching it. She was a fantastic writer and it was a very moving programme. I remembered some of the mrs Merton interviews but had forgotten the one with Chris Eubank - I had a snort of laughter

I had the great fortune to meet her in real life on a few occasions and she was a lovely lady, polite and unassuming, she said that she had worked at the BBC before she became known as a writer/actress and there had been several celebrities who had as much talent as they had manners (her words) and when she was Mrs Merton it was her way of bringing them down to earth.
A great talent gone to soon.

What a great documentary that was!
The affection that her friends had for her was beautiful.
Such a clever talent.

She was brilliant.
One talented lady.
She died far too young.
Ricky Tomlinson (Jim Royle) was interviewed on The Meaning of Life on RTE1 television recently and he said she had always wanted children so the episode where she has the baby was very poignant.

Hope she's cracking them up in Heaven.

I think it was Craig Cash's emotional testimony that said it all. She was a talented, lovely woman who suffered so much.
Thank you Caroline you made us laugh and cry with your brilliance.

I never looked at her the same after reading this article. It was in several newspapers at the time ....

i don’t think I’ve watched this documentary. Where can I find it?

Such a funny woman. The writing on the Royle Family was superb. (I know it was a joint effort with Craig Cash. I love him too!)

It was a brilliant documentary. A fantastic tribute to an incredibly talented woman told with immense warmth and total honesty. The love felt by everyone was so strong.

A truly lovely and funny and highly intelligent woman. 💙

Jesus!!! I never knew this. That's awful....

God. That's difficult reading.
Craig Cash said she was 'troubled' but that account is of an abuser

She was a genius. It’s so sad that she was alone when she died.

We don’t know if that’s true though do we? He never said it while she was alive, so she can’t respond to it.
I think she had bi-polar possibly?

I don't know what's true and what's not but for the sake of balance it should be included.

I’ve seen that documentary, it’s fantastic. She was a huge talent and so loved by the people she knew.

Wow. 😮 Sounds like she had many, many issues then. Crikey

I don't think Peter Hook is entirely reliable.

Was he a drinker too?
