The Royal

it will return later this year to itv on a sunday night and it is series eight that is going to be shown on itv in spring this year cant wait for it to be on because it is a good show and realy getting to the point of the medical staff in the 1960's it is very serious but straight to the point when they try and get the point over about accidents and how serious they can be whey they are life threatening and they need urgent attention and surgery and they show how on the scene help they getmoreless

This has to be my favourite programme ever!!! The storylines are fantastic, and they have such a strong cast. The show has a mix of experience and actors who are making their break, and they are doing it well! I luv the royal and will watch it forever! My fave characters Jill and Gordon have made me laugh, cry and everything in between. It feels like I've known them a lifetime, as I've watched the relationship develop, and the highs and lows of their relationship. Amy and Bob who play them are a fantastic team, and they are a credit to the royal. It simply wouldn't be the same without them!! *They should stay forever and ever*moreless

If dr jill wetherill left the royal it wouldnt be the same! i recon the royal would lose alot of viewers. Amy robbins and roberts daws are both 2 of my fav actors. The royal is a great programme. i want to be an actress hopefully. i hope to be on a medical drama. i am quite good so hopefully i might be able to go on the royal wen im older not now well im 13. so every1 look out for sarah h on the cast list in a few years!moreless

This programme is really top notch. The acting and stories are right on target with astonishing consistancy, week in and week out.
In a time when British tv and especially dramas are really poor, this is up there with the new Doctor Who as one of the leaders in terms of sheer quality of production.
All of the principle cast are very solid in there performances. Amy Robbins and Robert Daws take the lead roles very well, with good support from Paul Fox, and with Michael Stark and Michelle Hardwick bringing some light relief from the drama.
The thing that keeps it so fresh is the way that there are several intertwining plot lines in each episode, which often cross over.
Overall, possibly the best drama of the 21st Century so far!moreless

I love "The Royal", what started as a "Heartbeat" spin off became a decent show in it's own right. Sure the cast changes every season but the storylines are entertaining enough for you to forget about this. Another plus is they don't feel the need to use 1960s music in the backdrop, like they do in "Heartbeat"
