THE ROYLE FAMILY
The Royle Family a heartwarming yet genuinely funny
sitcom set in the lounge of a council house in Manchester
was to become a national treasure.
The show consisted mainly of the family watching TV,
smoking cigarettes, and making cups of tea,
while Dad broke wind and railed against society.
In the same way Del Boy and Rodney had been Cockney
heroes of the Eighties, Dave, Denise and the rest were to become Northern champions of the new Millennium.
