Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
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
tobiinit Why does everybody seem to think this is liverpudlian. Its set in Stockport, South Manchester. Anyway, this reminded me so much of my house, its sad actually seeing myself almost on TV. Very good, i only hope they do more!!!
paul sloan Totally unique.Tremendous observational comedy.We all know folk like these characters. The writing and acting are top notch especially Ricky T who really is one of the best character actors that the UK has produced. The episodes can be watched time and time again and are still funny after repeated viewings.Very few UK sitcoms are totally shot on film but in this case it lends a documentary feel to the whole proceedings.Thoroughly enjoyable and well reccomended.
