Love the Royle family and always will...but...the latter episodes where they dumbed everything down wasn't for me as much. Preferred the original Royle Family that was relatable without being too over the top idiotic. Like Dave for example...completely different personality and character in the later episodes. They turned him into a brain dead idiot lol

I’ve only seen up to series three. I adored The Royle Family so, so much! After seeing the brief segment, I can understand why the show finished. I mean that respectfully. In addition, Caroline Aherne (Denise Royle) passed away back in 2017, sadly, and she was the producer. Brilliant show though. There’s been nothing like it since 💔

1998-2000 was absolute comedy gold!

What would Jim think of 2022? Biggest Recession in Human History now and rising gas and electic prices

Royle Family was terrible after they got the new writer.

[teachingandlearning]

It should’ve stopped after series 3. It became a completely different show.

I feel the over acting quality of script writing forced jokes started, With the mambo number 5 wallpapering episode

Sadly the BBC has stopped doing comedy
