Royle Family Portraits
Brand spanking new and made by GOLD. Cast, crew and famous fans of The Royle Family revisit the very best bits of the landmark sitcom. Plus the writers' personal top ten moments. After GOLD's sneak behind the Royle's sofa, uncovering unseen material and revelations about how the sitcom and characters were conceived, it's time to hand over to the cast and the legion of celebrity fans to pick the bits they hold with highest esteem. Not only will the cast and celebrity fans - like Catherine Tate, Paul Whitehouse, Jimmy McGovern and John Prescott - pick their favourite Royle moments, but creators, writers and stars of the show Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash will also pick their all time, top ten personal highlights and talk us through what each moment meant to them. And what a canon of work to choose from! The Royle Family is chock full of great moments - from Jim's iconic catchphrase "My Arse!", to Joe's spontaneous singing and Denise's waters breaking - there are enough classic moments here to prove that The Royle Family is one of Britain's very best. Jim: "Right, get your coat on Barb." Barbara: "Are you taking me out then?" Jim: "No, I'm gonna turn the fire off... of course I'm taking you! I wouldn't leave you here on me birthday, would I? ... Better bring your purse."
Joe's Crackers
It is Christmas Day in the Royle household and Barbara is up to her eyes in it, as Jim is out of action following an unfortunate incident in the precinct. Dave and Denise are feeling the effects of the recession the most, and worry that Anthony's lavish gifts will eclipse their gift of a fridge magnet. Joe reminisces about a tipsy evening of naked wrestling in front of the fire with Bobby Carter, while Cheryl recounts her romantic encounter in the local supermarket car park.
Barbara's Old Ring
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Royles', and Barbara has gone overboard with the presents - 'If you can't spoil your family at Christmas, when can you?' she asks, having spent a whole two hours in a pound shop. A new neighbour with an impressive cleavage moves onto the street, but will she be welcome on the sofa? In a flash of seasonal entrepreneurial spirit, Dave reveals the idea he intends to pitch to Dragons' Den. Will it take off and make them rich? Or is Jim's scratch card more likely to bring in the Christmas cheer? Next door, Joe is looking for love and places an advert in a Lonely Hearts column, reading 'Vacant Lady Wanted'. Who could resist?
