Lots of people have said they turned the Royle family off last night... How far did you get?
I lasted about 35 minutes.
And if thousands of people all over the country turned off how does this affect the ratings?

Yes, you can have that.... I wish I hadn't now.
The whole date scene was everything that The Royle Family isn't and it even changed the characters. Jim would not have done that, he would've sat in his chair refusing to move, probably farting and making comments about their conversations. I don't particularly care for Joe's character either.
Don't let anyone put you off watching it, you have to make your mind up about it yourself, I just wondered how many people couldn't stick with it and turned it off, I have rarely not stuck with something until the end but I just couldn't bring myself to watch it any longer.
Like all comedies,,,, I tried it out when it started - I didn't see or hear one funny part.
Most people that I talk to about it, tend to agree, but as the "media" kept saying it was good, I tried again, and again, but my opinion hasn't changed.
I just don't see anything funny or clever about it.
If Aherne can sober up for ten minutes next year and has time to scribble what passes for a script on the back of a **** packet then it’s a dead cert that this dead-on-it’s-feet show will reappear, zombie-like, next year.
This is what I was wondering, they obviously have only counted the number of viewers who started watching, but by reading the other thread on here and looking at Facebook etc, loads of people turned off and there must be thousands of others who don't take to internet forums who couldn't hack it.
It's been said here, there and everywhere, but - it should have ended with 'The Queen of Sheba'.
Well done Aherne and Cash for spoiling one of the best comedies ever.
I loved the raw, down to earth feel the show(had). This episode is up there with Miranda!
Such a shame they turned the show into a parody of the Royle family.
RIP Royle Family 1998-2012
Let it rest in peace now.
A nice, if not unexpected, ending, though.
They came around in the end though, and had enough of the insulting crap.
They have just turned into dirty uncaring idiots.... Forgetting your kids exist maybe funny once but you can't keep carrying on ridiculous stuff like that.
