I'm an American who discovered The Royle Family many years ago when it was featured back to back on BBCA. I love them! Before long, I had collected all of the videos and, with the exception of Joe's Crackers, have the entire series on DVD's. Google is a great aid to understanding Brit slang; the scripts in book form that I bought are a big help as well, and I like the fact that the dvd's have subtitles. The concept and writing are top and the casting couldn't have been better -- the actors mesh in a very natural fashion, and although Jim is hilarious, it's hard to decide who my favorite character is. I was disappointed that Doreen Keough wasn't in The Golden Egg Cup, and miss Liz Smith terribly. I'm always happy to see a new release and will buy Joe's Crackers when it's out at the end of this month (Jan. 2011). The only other Brit comedy that I enjoy equally well is At Home With The Braithwaites; indeed, both series' can be characterized as brilliant and smashing. Long live the Queen, long live British comedy!Read full review
