Cast interviews (Royle Family - Queen of Sheba)

[@rain7bow437]

It was pure genius. I suffer from horrendous anxiety and depression and if i watch The Royle Family it genuinely gets me through it. Its so comforting to watch. And hilarious.

[@stenaldinho]

Look after yourself mate. And seek comfort and laughter wherever you find it. Royle Family is a great choice. Timeless

[@iainholmes2735]

I loved the show. All the best to you.

[@simonwright6163]

Same, this lovely show pulled me through a recent dark episode.

[@markcolston2930]

I know exactly what you mean,it takes you away from anxiety if only for a short time.

[@beverlygannon4141]

Yes I'm same and I feel cheered up with them.

[@the-Donovann]

One of the last shows that reminds you of time before the internet, one of the best British shows of all time.

[@juicychillibean]

I keep coming back to the royle Family over and over again as its something I grew up on. I can honestly say Caroline's death was one of the first celebrity deaths to make me cry and I still think about her. Absolutely genius.

[@Contemplationsinnature]

Can watch this series over and over again . I don’t think there has ever been a show more accurately represent the average working class British family . So beautifully written and acted .

[@Andyscobie]

RIP Liz Smith, Caroline Adherne and Geoffrey Hughes.

[@mikeykm1993]

Such a shame that they will now never be able to make another episode

[@joelangley7974]

I don’t think it is a shame, it was fantastic and churning out episode after episode would have ruined it, rather like the Simpsons, great when it started but dreadful now.

[@louiehill-_-3796]

mikeykm1993 yeah

[@gbmruk123]

they could do another but it woudnt be the same :(

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

I think it is possible as a one-off hour show. The men meet up on a fishing trip and while waiting endlessly for a nibble on the line ,they reminisce and laugh at the highlights of the series. They cadge lifts off Barbara and Cheryl with a few stories wound around that. Dense is off doing something dipsey - can't be seen cos of a debacle bleaching her hair which is green and coming out in handfuls . Barbara is off to see her cousin in Middleton. And Cheryl gets duped into running errands for the guys ( Jim, Anthony & David & Joe ) to get more bait or food etc Nana & Mary are mentioned in the memories but not Twiggy or Denise as the former do die as part of the storyline. I really think it could be done. Jim & Antony have their usual tussle over who knows how to fish & bozo Dave can't do anything right. Oh yes & Joe ! He's happy ! Just Staring at the water for hours ! Think it would be rather nice. Life does carry on whether we like it or not !! Might as well take a peek.

[@sarahlund-nt3kw]

​@@gbmruk123Never say never. I'm hoping against hope. Wishful thinking, that maybe, the creators of this show, will one day phone up the actors and actresses, and possibly ask them to do a few one-off episodes. Like I said, I'm just wishful thinking. I just would like to see how the characters lives developed, as they got older.

[@kidneystone53]

The Queen of Sheba was my favourite episode, happiness and tears.

Superb writing given to great charactar actors. These guys created something wonderful together.

[@רונןפורת-מ8ו]

Every time I watch this sweet series, I feel like I'm actually sitting in their living room, and they don't see me, and it amazes me every time, what acting talent everyone has there, and what a great gift it is to be an actor. I know of three actors who, unfortunately are no longer with us. Blessed is their memory.

[@hollie_marie]

I always come back to Nana's death. It makes me cry everytime with the music and everyone rushing into the hospital. My mum and nan (her mum) were really close but my nan and my dad had a turbulent relationship much like in this show, they did have love for each other but they were very stubborn people. I was very little when my nan died but I when I saw this show even though that wasn't how my nan went it just struck a chord because it felt like closure, I could see my nan and relate to it. I don't think I will ever fully process it because I was too young to get the closure I needed but this helps

[@wardis8303]

Four of the cast now gone, the greatest comedy show ever broadcast

I got to meet Ricky Tomlinson AKA Jim in Galway last Saturday, shook his hand and got a photo, absolute pleasure to meet him,

[@ducati916SPS]

Roger My Arse....!!! how many years have past?? That scene still has me on the floor in 2022 🤣🤣🤣

[@cavedweller2000]

I find this episode so hard to watch. Especially the part where Nana is having her hair done and singing Que Sera Sera, and Barbara is sobbing behind her

[@antoniafaheerty6980]

This is such a special programme, this episode was very special, it touches just about every human on earth regardless of class, whether working class or high class because their family values touched everyone.

[@PointlessSillyName]

I'm a 48 year old former nightclub bouncer who only retired from that occupation last year, a father of 3 grown up children and a huge fan of the Royle Family. But when the one where Nana dies aired on TV, I left the room and refused to watch... And I still haven't managed to force myself to watch it! 😀

[@Jtmissile]

The outtakes are funny

[@davidpotts1778]

You really should watch it buddy. It has laughter all the way through and the sadness is happy too. It's just so real and wonderful viewing. God bless Caroline Aherne x

[@beverlygannon4141]

Bouncer? But your a big softie aww👍

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

For me The Royle Family is the perfect time capsule of working class family life in Britain in the 90's. I even loved the silence between dialogue where everyone is just paying attention to the TV, it just made it seem as real as possible and takes me back to my youth where I really related to Anthony as I was the youngest and always called a lazy get too. I hope Caroline left this world knowing she will be remembered and loved for generations to come who will discover this perfect distillation of a moment in time

[@leetucker6016]

The writing is superb, no canned laughter just genuine talent throughout

[@IngaBinga-j4y]

People forget that this was The Office before The Office went global. Caroline O'Herne fought tooth n nail to make this the show that it ended up becoming. Against all odds because there really was nothing else like it at the time. Pure vision of her own creativity and she fought forever step of it. Without The Royal Family there is no The Office. And I mean that in all due respect. Beautiful show ❤
