The royle family Xmas special

Didn't watch it this year due to last year's episode being so shockingly shit
 
I thought this years was really good , best from the car journey onwards.
Had some good lines in it this year , much better than last year.
When Jim was sat having a shit and you saw his skiddy gruds , I quickly stopped eating my choc cake :(
 
stopped watching this years after 5 minutes, thought it was awful which is a shame
 
Only thing which really made me laugh was where Dave said summat like "which showbiz personality is famous for bending..." and Jim cut in with "Dale Winton?".
 
Oh aye, then she said at least he was warm, chained to a radiator.
 
I think it must be difficult for Caroline Ahern to be expected to write a one off special like that when she's obviously not been in 'the zone' as it were for a while. It did feel a little bit forced but it still had it's moments. I also think that Dave was a bit too retarded, but thats probably more to do with the actor than the writing.

The Oneshow obsession cracked me up though.
 
What about when Dave asked what personality said " I want to be alone" and Barb said Terry Waite.

:lol: Easily the funniest moment.

But i agree these Christmas specials have been shit. They should have took a leaf out of the Office's book and quit while they were on top..
 
I thought last years was good - the turkey in a City shirt was brilliant.

This years was ok for half an hour but the rest was crap - although there were a few good lines.

The egg cup and eggy bread stuff got on my tits.
