AIRED: 10/29/06

The Royle Family returns to our screens for the first time in 6 years for a one-off special. 6 years has passed since we saw Jim receive Sky and since then a lot has happened. Baby David is now Little David, Denise and Dave are expecting baby number 2, Antony and Emma had a boy called Lewis; but they split up, Nana has moved in with the Royles, Cheryl has a new diet, while Joe is still clumsy as ever! And Jim is still in his beloved armchair watching his flatscreen TV (how on Earth did he afford that?) and Barbara still runs the place.moreless

A goodbye to the Royle Family

10

By robman46, Oct 29, 2006

It had to be the best thing on TV all year. It was extremly funny and very emitonal (it will make you cry). It still had the brillent one liners, the great songs (including the bango) and just pure brillence. They finally left the household and showed what real families are like. I cannot not see another being made, as it was very fitting end. It was great to see all the cast back (apart from Emma), Joe is still clumsy as ever, Cheryl was eating and looking for love, Denise and Jim are both alike, Lurch is now giving Jim pocket money, Nana is still as funny as ever and who would of guess baby David is the same as his father? Goodbye Royle Family (the best thing since only fools), and hope you don\'t ruin by making 3 terrible specialsmoreless
