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

The most underrated comedy series ever. And it is a typical working class family we can all, well most of us, relate to. Loved it.

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?

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

Loved it when Craig said to Joanne "do you get this on downton abbey"

The Christmas Special when Nana dies is one of the best things ever to have been on TV. It had everything a good drama should have: comedy, pathos, gut wrenching sadness and irony. Sinead O'Connor's haunting rendition of 'Scarlet Ribbons' sealed the deal. RIP Denise, Nana and Twiggy.

I never get tired of the Royle Family. One of my favourite sitcoms. The outtakes are hilarious especially Dave continuously corpsing 😂

This was one of thoes once in a generation shows. Captured the working class brits so well. Such amazing characters wraped in the smallest setting. It felt like you were spending time with family not watching a show. The Royle Family will always have a special place in my heart

So sad that there will never be any more new Christmas specials of the Royal family.

Heartbreaking that this phenominal observational comedy will never happen again. The writing, timing, acting. It all looked so simple and easy but the writing, the lines, the characterisation was second to non. R.I.P. Caroline.

this has to be one of the very best comedies ever - Unbelievably witty and subtle humour, as well as the completely obviously funny stuff. It was also capable of making very sad and very powerful moments. 10/10 for me

It's so nice to see them laughing and joking. The show was the same, full of fun. Imagine pitching a show where the whole show is based in one house. It was an amazing cast and script that made it what it was.

Dear Lord I was bellying laughing through almost all of it. "There's been a MUR-DER" 🤣 that scene was classic. Dave kept laughing. What it must have been like working together. Laughing during the takes. Fantastic

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.

I think you either loved it or hated it, but maybe saw a little bit of yourself in it. I did and I loved it. Tears strolling down my face thanks Dave!!

Man I miss this show so much :(

These are classics they make me laugh and bring a tear to my eye , they remind me of times when my kids were teenagers and we all sat and watched these , they can still recite Denise’s lines RIP lovely xxxx

Caroline aherne was an absolute gem

Any people on tv, who we've grown up with, feels like a part of your family, so when they die, you really feel it.So sad these great actors/ actresses are gone.x

If anyone ever needs cheering up watch the full outtakes, brilliant!! Genius

That's perked me right up. Caroline was a comedy genius 💖

comedy gold......sad that Caroline has gone, would have been great to see what she did next...

"Do you get this on Downton Abbey" lol

Great show with great actors.Should have made more show.

I’m in tears watching this.😂😂😂😂

The Golden Egg Cup was one of the best episodes. Watched it again this morning. Caroline Aherne had comedic genius. Tragic she died so young.

Absolutely love this show, I still watch it daily. Caroline Aherne was a genius writer, the cast were amazing and Nana always had me in stitches with her banter with Jim. R.I.P Liz, Caroline, Geoffrey and Doreen.

I love to watch this now and then just to see caroline laughing at the end of it, she was hilarious.

What a sad loss losing Caroline. So so talented am so glad we have moments like this to look back on. I spent this week watching every episode on the BBC IPlayer. Only to find last night that bbc1 had started from the beginning. I still watched it. Thank you. You Will never be forgotten xx. 🇬🇧 31/10/20.

Love how in the final cut you can still see Ralph Little holding in a laugh when him and Craig are lifting Ricky

I have watched this programme so many times I know the scrip it's just genius.

Love this programme. Doesn't matter how many times you watch it you still laugh out loud!🤣

Thank you soooo much for putting this on. I laughed out loud throughout.Sadness too,for everyone's loss,but proud of the show.The memories live on💟xx

You know, people were talking about the first episodes of the show, so I had a look-in and just didn't get it. Some family sitting around watching telly? Then I began to snigger and laugh out loud - such subtlety, such slyness, such cleverness. Got the box set. I cherish the series now.

Looked such fun... Happy days,
