About

You can stream The Royle Family (1998) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

The Royle Family is a British sitcom created by Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash, and produced by Granada Television for BBC Two (series 1) and BBC One (series 2 and 3). It centres on the lives of a television-fixated Manchester family, the Royles, comprising lazy patriarch Jim, his hard-working wife Barbara, their entitled daughter Denise, their put-upon son Antony, and Denise's lad fiancé–later husband–David.

Can a family survive the suffocating boredom of a living room while the rest of the world passes them by? This sitcom finds profound, hilarious truth in the mundane ritual of sitting in front of the television.
