The Royle Family Outtakes | The Very Best Of 

andrew johnson and twiggy , Liz Smith ,and Mary

She sure was she will be sadly missed

andrew johnson she was fantastic but let’s credit graig cash aka Dave as he was also the writer for the Royale family and without the two of them the Royale family wouldn’t exist.

Well caroline aherne and Craig cash for there brilliant writing and very well acted by all

She certainly was. Every single performance in that show was perfect, there isn’t a better sitcom in my opinion. Absolute first class.

Doreen Keogh (Mary) has passed now aswell. RIP

Class 😁

over rated

Absolutely agree

ya know, Helen, the worst thing ya can do is watch this stuff "back", cos ya realise how shite all the other stuff is now. coincidence or not, just after this finished, i sacked me telly. " no regrets", as Edith said.

True. When her daughter combs her hair and they talk, very thouching 🥰

God rest them all💚

I cried through the whole thing.

Made me bawl my bloody eyes out

yep, ya never forget the "good un's, Whippy, for obvious reasons. when these sort of "progs" finished", i sacked the telly. 30 years on with no "goggle box", no regrets.

I'm sure people just like calling something underrated for the hell of it. How the hell is it underrated? There are four seasons spanning over eight years. It was hugely successful and very popular. Tens of millions of people tuned in for the Christmas specials. It won four BAFTA Awards, four British Comedy Awards, two NTA Awards..to name but a few. What the hell are you talking about?

@@judgeberry6071 speaking of 'underrated'. A spinoff from Royle Family, 'Early Doors'. That's one I reckon is underrated.

@@judgeberry6071 well more like 3 proper series, season 4 is made up of Xmas specials

This definitely wasn't/isn't underrated. It was lauded with praise when it was originally aired and won every award going

Underrated? It won everything going and was one of the most watched sitcoms ever.

Mary has sadly passed as well RIP Doreen keough.

I can't believe how many have died from this show recently.

So very sad 😢😢

Can't believe it ..four people passed on ...from the program 😫😫 miss them I've DVDs and kept playing it

Brake my heart that all of that made it great are no longer with us my they rest in peace 💔

Nor is Nan

nor is Twiggy

This, alongside One Foot in the Grave and Fawlty Towers is one of my Top 3 favourite sitcoms of all time.

And blackadder

On the buses aswell for me

Hello Beth How are you doing today?

He wrote the show with Denise, he also wrote a fantastic film called Sunshine. He plays a dinlo so well. Hilarious.x

Just shows then, how much of a brilliant actor Craig is, if he can make Dave seem so realistic.

He also co wrote the brilliant Early Doors which deserved more recognition than it got

Why would he be the same in real life ? He's an actor.

Yes it was. It wudda gone on if it wasn't for poor Caroline Aherne. Death . Sad. God bless her and Nana , Twiggy 👍🙏

KingLaudrup That would have to be my favourite Christmas episode 🖒

I know, such a simple little bit, but so very funny :)

fair chance, ender, this kept her going a bit longer, like.

Does anyone know why Season 1-3 was so genius and the rest were so bad? Was it a fall out between Aherne and Cash? Something must have happened. I enjoyed Aherne's Dossa and Joe much more than the later Royle Familys.

The earlier series felt literally like a fly on the wall watching a real family. The later specials seemed like they made caricatures of their own characters, the acting become over the top, rather than natural. It may have been something other than the acting or writing, such as the director, that made it feel so different.

@@alfraedo304 I reckon it might have been all of those things (how was Caroline at the time?). As a fan i enjoyed seeing them more, but with each bad scene, i couldn't help but feel let down. It should have been a classic (or THE classic) not a cult classic

@@alfraedo304 yeah Denise and Dave were dim but they wouldn't have put a bloody frozen turkey in the bath to defrost in the earlier series.

3 of them are dead it wouldn't work sadly 😢

Stephanie Jane Tennant Me too, that’s the reason I watch it!

Takes me back to the good old days x

Sometimes the outtakes are funnier than the series. One of those wish i was there to be part of it. Try phoenix nights outtakes even if didn't like the series the outtakes are funny.

Are you still suffering from depression Stephanie? X

@@mattstuart2550 Phoenix nights is brill, loved it back in the day thanks for the reminder 😊

Sheer brilliance pure joy to watch and very funny! Rest in peace to the ones who passed!

Closest of friends

It's refreshing to find people who appreciate British comedy as many of the people of my (young) generation only seem to watch American sitcoms.

I only just found this wonderful show a few months ago myself..being a fan of 'keeping up appearances'..I thought I would check this one out. And so happy I did..I love every character on here. SO wish they would make more episodes,some say it wouldn't be the same without Caroline,but I say what a great tribute that would be to her. This from a super fan across the pond👍❤️

Oh there's plenty of British sitcoms you should check out. I know how popular Keeping Up Appearances was abroad, but there's some real gems here that missed out on the international limelight.

DoctorVision Oh no, I’m 15 and I also grew up watching re-runs, I’d rather watch this than any American bollocks

Great to see all the american comments on here. The Royle family always seemed so British, kind of like it wouldn't travel well but I'm glad to be proven wrong

I think it would still.

Explain why not?

1wannabee1 you gotta write it first. 😉

Well, as "they" say, it's not really a job, if you're doing something you love.
