The Royle Family was a big risk when it appeared. It was a sitcom but not the kind you were used to. It had no laughter track, a single camera and it would be based on the Royle's mainly sitting down watching TV and gossiping.
It worked, maybe not wildly funny but amusing enough and it had a lot more depth than some people realised.
It is the ins and out of a working class family in Manchester. Jim might be a slob but he has a sharp edge to him. The family bicker but are close knit. In and out of their lives are their neighbours and friends.
Recent episodes which tended to be one off specials have varied in quality. It's not always easy to get the cast together.
