Just-Being-Me Who would have thought watching a family sat on their bums yapping away would make such a funny comedy. Why can't comedy shows be like this now days?, this is proper comedy, just naturally funny and very enjoyable to watch.The Royal family never gets old, i love it, it always has me laughing. Each character is different... you have Jim: the lazy one, who wants it his way or no way. Denise: the daughter, takes after her father (being lazy), Anthony: the son, the only one that isn't as lazy as the rest, Barbra: the wife, works, cooks, tries making conversation with her husband and all he wants to do is watch TV, "Nanna": the grandmother/ Barbra's mother, always doing things to annoy Jim and then there is Dave: who could forget Dave (Denise's husband), the dumb one and let's not forget the neighbours, always popping round.It isn't always about just the humour, it also has heart touching episodes (like where "Nanna" becomes ill).This show is hilarious and i would say a must see, you have to give it a try to know how funny it really is, i don't personally know anyone that doesn't like this, it is brilliant and one of my favourite comedy shows with great actors/actresses.Well worth a 8-9 / 10.
mcfcrdfc208 I've only started wacthing this over the last few months and fell in love with it as soon as i saw it although i think it was slow starting this show was it really gets better each episode....you also can relate to the characters ie Antony is just like me and the whole family in away is like mine,and it because of Ralf little (Antony) that i wacthed this show cause I'm a big fan of his and I'm glad i did OK so there isn't a laugh every line like most comedies but then thats not real life and this is just like real life i love it and would recommend it to anyone and it is now my 2nd favourite sitcom made to date!!!!!!!9 out of 10 is about right
Bon_Jovi_chick This is about a family and their every day lives. There's Jim the foul-mouthed lazy father who likes to save cash, Barbara- the dippy mother, Denise- the lazy daughter who tries to find her way out of looking after her son (only in the third series!) and Anthony- the teenage lad who gets treated like a skivvy by the rest of the family!! Of course there's Nana, Dave (Denise's husband). their next door neighbours- Joe, Mary and Cheryl (who is constantly trying to lose weight). Each series is full of rude jokes, witty lines and tons of everyday gossip in front of the television!!!This is incredibly funny. Ricky Tomlinson has some classic lines- he is definetly the star of this show. It has some right witty lines in it without all that canned laughter spoiling the atmosphere. Don't knock it til you watched it!!!H xxxxxx
Butterworthp Just what i hate, more northern rubbish who wants to see a family with the intelligance of 5 year olds. It seems to be one of those comedy's where we should laugh when nothing paticular is going on and this is tv at it's worst SHAME ON YOU BBC
