Yes, he was great as Twiggy (love Onslow as well).
I liked him and Jim in the episode where they were apparently decorating for baby David's Christening. Mambo no 5.
Brilliant piece of writing, nobody says a word for four minutes and it still has me laughing all the way through. That's great comedy, where none of the characters says anything and it's still funny.
Nana: Oh is it tonight that thing with a man in it dressed as a chicken
Barb: I dunno Mum
Nana: You know Denise that man he's a chicken, oh it is funny I do like that programme
Denise: I dont know what your on about Nana
Nana: David will you look in the paper id hate to miss it
Dave: You know what its called Norma?
Nana: No
Dave: I cant see anything it might be Norma
Denise: It might be the chicken tonight advert.
Nana: No its not that but I like that, Is that on tonight David?
Dave: Well I dont know the adverts aren't gonna be in here
Nana: Oh Barbara do you know what its called, that thing with that man in it dressed as a chicken?
Jim: Right that's it get your coat on Dave.
"I paid a quid for these pants and I've got 60p stuck up my arse!"
Alongside "Mambo No5" (which you see coming a mile off but is so well done) my favourite scene is in the episode when someone has brought something in on their shoe. At the end Joe sings a lovely Irish lament with the others joining in the chorus. He finishes, and all is silent for a few seconds. Then Darren announces You can still smell the shit in here!"
And Dave's got a dodgy gut after a poor pint at a pub other than The Feathers, .
Anthony: "Yeah, gotta watch the lager in there, they don't clean their pipes."
Jim: "What do YOU know about it?" (implying he's too young)
Anthiny: "I know!"
Jim: "Well I don't want to hear about you drinking in The Feathers,............ You don't shit on you own doorstep!"
Denise and Dave drunk, fighting about Beverly Macca. Barbara's high pitched screaming for Jim to get out of bed, I love it when she does that manic Jim.Jim! J-I-M!!
Denise's,"..that's what they are, they're two shovels of shit." and Beverly's" ...too fat to be the fly.."
I keep thinking of new bits, there are just too many, I really should be working, but everyone else's bits are too good.....that came out wrong, but you know what I mean.

Dave (ruefully): "I nearly did last night......"
Is that when Barbara cleans it off into the sink with all the dishes in?....We were screaming 'noooooo' at the tv!
Sally Lindsay's character had some great one liners in the christening episode
''Talk about a burning ring of fire, talking of which I need the shithouse now''
(Talking about Cheryl's dodgy physic) ''Gemini Astrid for five quid, she talks absolute bolloaks she does love, I wouldnt take any notice
Barbara: Oh Cheryl you found love and then you lost it
Mary: Better to of loved than to never have loved at all
cue arkward silence
Barbara: Cheryl, do you want a sasuage roll?
Cheryl: Yes please
My ex sister in law was just like her .. a lazy cow and her mum always had her children and pleaded she was tired .... of doing NOTHING it seemed ...:mad:
Caroline Aherne played that part so well.
Yeah, Denise for me is the laziest character in the show. Jim's definately up there as being lazy, but she's the worst I reckon! Love how one episode when Barbara stormed out after an argument with Jim and..
Dave: Why is it we never go to my mum and dad's?
Denise: I tell you why Dave, all they do is sit on there fat arses and watch telly all day, it's boring!
And your mum and dad and yourself don't I suppose Denise?! :rolleyes:
Series 1-3 & Queen of Sheba-Fantastic, 10/10
The New Sofa & The Golden Egg Cup-Average 6/10
Joe Crackers-A return to form, very funny 8/10
I agree, I thought Joe's Crackers was very funny, I know we were rolling around in the living that evening, everyone from my nan to my niece in stiches, and it was bittersweet too-Perfect Christmas viewing so I'm glad its back this year
Dave: Alright Ant
Antony: Hiya Dave
Dave: How's the band?
Antony: Oh err, we've split up
Dave: Bloody hell..
And then when Jim laughs twice, so funny!
Barbara: Are you staying over for Millenium night Mam?
Norma: Is that alright? Only I wouldn't want to miss it
Jim: Why, what was the last one like Norma?

This one makes me die laughing every time:
Michelle says her kids were taken away by social services
Michelle: Social took away, said I were an unfit mother
Barbara: Oh Michelle that's terrible
Michelle: Well to be honest Barb, I were an unfit mother. I was very heavily on the piss at the time. But they got on well with the foster parents so it worked out well in both ends

Classic!
That whole episode is brilliant.Michelle is really funny and Nanna's classic.
Nana getting shampoo as a Christmas present whispers to Babera;
"Barbera - it says 'not tested on animals'. What if I spill some on a dog!!:eek:".
I marke the main series 9/10 - outstanding
The Queen of Sheba 6/10 - played for tears too obviously, twee
The Golden Egg Cup 3/10 - poor throughout
The New Sofa 7/10 - Dave Snr quite superb
Joe's Crackers - back to the proper 'feel' to the programme.
Jim is pretty unpleasant but Denise is a horrid person.

Ant'ny is brilliant.
Agreed there.
Denise is the worst horrible character in the show, love how she suddenly falls pregnant and can't do anything but stay on the sofa.. "I'm pregnant, I've got to take it easy now" you did anyway Denise. :yawn:
Watching it now. How come we never see Jim smoke? He's always asking Anthony to pick him some up and he always references being a smoker but we never see him smoke.
When I'm feeling down abit I'll lock myself up in my room and watch all three series back to back and then suddenly everything's okay again! I cry my eyes out EVERY SINGLE TIME when Nana dies (welling up at the thought lol)
Nana: I never drink me, just a sherry at Christmas, whiskey at new year and a bottle of stout.
Barbara: Well, I don't care what anybody is - I don't care whether they're gay, straight or Australian. It's what they're like as a person that matters.
Nana: May God forgive you Jim Royle for talking ill of the dead like that (not what she says but the way she says it!!)
Barbara: You don't have to bring shit into it, love.
Denise: I'm only not smoking in front of Baby David until he's old enough to get up and walk out of the room, then it's his choice.
Nana: She married a joiner, moved to Leeds, he knocked her about a bit, but her home was lovely
Nana: Ey, I tell you who is in hospital, Gwen's husband.
Barbara : Ooh, what's he having done?
Nana: He's having something fitted.
Jim: What - a wardrobe?
Jim: Your bloody Nana's bloody more interested in bloody Coronation bloody Street than the baby!
Barbara: Jim, how many bloodies is that?
There's a million more I just can't think of them at the moment!
Comments
Barbara Royle: 'Ey Jim, Jim, d'ya fancy an early night?
Jim Royle: There must be bloody something on, mustn't there!
It's not so much what is said but it is the facial expression that Barbara makes.
Denise: Spaghetti
Barb: bolognese
Denise: Hoops
simple and perfect
Brilliant piece of writing, nobody says a word for four minutes and it still has me laughing all the way through. That's great comedy, where none of the characters says anything and it's still funny.

Jim: Why don't you leave the bugger here and visit it once a week?!

Yep, when Mary sticks her nose right into it to deduce that it really is dog poo.
Another one is Barbara and Denise discussing a finger buffet.
Jim responds "Finger my arse!", before realising and laughing his head off.
"Can she eat wafer thin ham Barbara?"
Comedy gold:p

Yeah that was funny!
That was when Nana's best friend Elsie died, love how Nana apparently wasn't trying to move in with the Royles but it was blatently obvious she was.
Agreed there.
Denise is the worst horrible character in the show, love how she suddenly falls pregnant and can't do anything but stay on the sofa.. "I'm pregnant, I've got to take it easy now" you did anyway Denise. :yawn:
Me throat's as dry as Ghandi's flip flop.
