The "Royle Family"

"The Royle Family" revolutionised the sitcom. Masterful scripts and the brilliant ensemble cast made the weekly half-hour in the living-room with Jim, Barbara, Denise, Dave, Antony and Nana compulsive viewing.

Eavesdrop once more on the minutiae of daily life in these four episodes, where topics of conversation include the extreme stinginess of Dave's dad 'Limp-along-Leslie' when it comes to forking our for the wedding.

Nana's irritating habits when watching the television and Dave's response to Beverly Macca's flirting (again).

All's well in the final episode, though, and Jim's swelling with pride to see his little girl in her wedding finery.

So it's cups of tea all round - with the occasional splash of Pomagne - as the world's most inactive family chat, bicker, smoke and, of course, watch telly.
