    Rubbish.... one of the best comdies of the 90's...FACT.

    They probably should have left it at the last special though - Nana was definitely the star of the show...

    Aye, and they are recording a Third series to be broadcast next year too. There's 8 episodes in a season and they will be making 8 more as yer wan, Caroline Ahern, writer and director of the show, appearently went a bit bananas and fled to Australia for years after season 2 in 2000.

    This is one show I am going to watch on Chrimbo day!
    I had a very quick glance at the RTE guide for Chrimbo day and this is the only show that jumped out at me.

    My fave lines are

    Barbara - Eh Dave, what did you have for your tea
    Dave - Spaghetti
    Barbara - Oh Spaghetti Bolognase
    Dave - No Spaghetti hoops

    The Royle Family is a true gem.. can be rewatched and enjoyed time after time.

    It'll be tough to top the Queen of Sheba.. while not hilarious, I will admit I got a lump in my throat at the ending.

    What a massive disappointment! I didn't find anything funny until the final 15 minutes.

    Im not usually a big fan of the show and i thought it was very funny.The lines about the flame retarted couch and the bit about the baddie from all the war films (hitler) was very funny

    Watched it last night and I thought it was excellent - probably as good as any previous episode.

    Did think that there was a few stupid parts though but overall, the highlight of the Chrstmas so far.

    I'm a fan of the series, but last night's episode was TERRIBLE.

    It moved from the plausible moron family to absolute farce. I was watching it with 12 people (10 fans) and we all decided to knock it off after Dave took to the turkey with a friggin drill -

    TOSS, TOSS, TOSS

    I have to admit to being terribly dissapointed aswell. I don't know if it was because half the cast (nana, antony, next door family) were missing or if it was because it wasn't in the Royle's house but it just wasn't funny.

    It would be great if there was a new series made but they would be mad to divert from what was a sucessful format.

    Dipped in parts and wasnt a classic, but overall a decent show I thought. Daves dad was an utter twat, thought it would end with Jim losing the plot :)


    Better than that awful final Only Fools episode anyway. About the only one I wouldnt watch if it is repeated, ffs they went and changed the history of the ****ing show!!!
