    superb.......

    this dvd series 1 is superb. The Royle Family centres around a working class family in Manchester. The episodes are:

    Bills, Bills, Bills - Jim is annoyed when the latest phone bill arrives, before his daughter's wedding, and finds out that someone, has been calling Aberdeen. Cheryl brings over the catalogue, and she and Denise decide to buy leather jackets. Meanwhile, Barbara is nervous about starting her new job at the bakers.

    Making Ends Meet! - The family sit themselves in front of the TV, after having dinner, and are forced to listen to Jim's moan's about the cost of the wedding.

    Sunday Afternoon - It's Sunday afternoon and Nana is visiting. Jim helps Anthony do the dishes, to avoid listening to nana's moaning. Meanwhile, Mary and Cheryl come over to help Denise try on on her wedding dress, and Dave's recovering from a hangover.

    Jim's Birthday - It's Jims birthday! The family celebrate in their own style with cake, booze and photos. Meanwhile, Denise has a hangover, although she claims it's a headache due to stress, and Anthony has a black eye after fighting with the Bessy brothers.

    Another Woman? - Denise and Dave come home from one of Dave's 'gigs' arguing about Beverly Macca. Barbara consoles a drunk Denise, who tells her Dave was flirting with Beverly. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Dave tells Jim and Anthony there was nothing in it. After a nice talk with Barbara and Jim she forgives Dave and the family engage in a sing-a-long with Jim's banjo.

    The Wedding Day - The morning of Dave and Denise's wedding arrives. Everything is going wrong for the bride who can't stop crying. Dave, Jim and Twiggy have some drinks in the kitchen, and Jim practices his 'fatherly' speech. Cheryl thinks that Twiggy is trying to chat her up. Nana is getting on everyones nerves and Anthony gets a haircut.

    well worth renting out.

    Excellent

    Possibly the greatest British comedy of all time. I can't think of any better.
