Just by luck i found a TV Sitcom called "Early Doors" which I found wonderfully funny. It stars among others Craig Cash who starred in "The Royale Family" and plays a similar type character. Why is this so little heard of, as it is really funny . Has anybody else seen this?.
I always used to watch this. I think there were just 3 series. It was written by Craig Cash and the guy who plays his friend (the one who lives on Fray Bentos tinned pies when his wife leaves him!),
You will recognise many northern actors and actresses in it, plus James MacAvoy as the boyfriend.
It was brilliant, and wish they did more, but I think they all became more famous.
Many thanks for your replies. I thought the characters were terrific like the banter between the two coppers and Ken's mothers and the home help. You can see lots of simple chat in the pub like that was used in the "Royale Family" . There were 2 series and 12 episodes which I have now purchased on a dvd
