...was the main quote by Ricky Tomlinson who played Jim Royle, head of the Royle family in this enjoyable comedy about a Liverpool family.
Nothing much happened in each episode. In fact, every episode took place in either the living room or the kitchen of the Royle household. The show consisted mainly of swearing,TV watching, passing wind, making tea, bickering-all those things the average family does. And that is where the show was fun. It was one hundred percent exactly how most families act. We all bicker, and watch TV and swear and this is what the Royle family did.
Ricky Tomlinson was Jim Royle and Sue Johnston was Barbara Royle. Barbara worked in a bakery and kept the house together. Jim was a lazy fat scruffy oaf who spent most of the episode with his bottom firmly embedded in his chair whilst the family did everything for him from making the tea to answering the doorbell. Also featuring were Denise Royle and her boyfriend Dave and the youngest son Anthony. Jim spent the whole episode being crude, sitting on his bum and doing nothing. Also visiting was Nana from time to time.
There were some funny scenes and quotes in the show. I'm not going to quote them here because they won't be as funny. The best thing to do is to buy or rent a video/DVD and watch the show. It won't run forever (how many episodes can you do about a family sitting on a sofa in the living room?) but the episodes that have been made are really funny.
