The Royale Family is a comedy show that it took, me a really long to actually getting round to watch, it was a favourite of my sons and I finally, got around to seeing it from him.

I thought that it was set in Liverpool probably because, I thought that Ricky Tomlinson was a scouser.

It's well observed and crafted by, Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash, and they both capture their respective characters, quirks and idiosyncrasies perfectly.

Indeed I think that every actor in the show, is totally believable as their respective characters.

Denise and Dave are ideally matched as, a couple in temperament and intellect.

Jim has for me the appearance of a garden gnome, such that all he needs to complete the effect is a fishing rod. Jim Royale in character and temperament, is everything that he accuses both Anthony and Denise, of being shiftless and bone idle.

Denise does indeed take after her dad Jim, to such an extent that perhaps it's genetic, as neither of them will lift a finger, to do anything that they can't lumber, some other poor pillock with.

Anthony Royale is one of the most, hard working members of the clan, such that either deliberately or carelessly, he is left as the family skivvy to fetch and carry, for each and every one of them.
