Publisher's Synopsis
The complete Royle Family collection which includes all three series of Caroline Aherne's acclaimed sitcom, plus the BAFTA-winning feature length episode, 'The Queen of Sheba', and the 2008 Christmas special, 'The New Sofa'. In the first series we are introduced to the domestic conflicts of the Liverpudlian Royle clan, with Aherne as Denise, daughter of Jim (Ricky Tomlinson) and Barbara (Sue Johnston), and soon-to-be-wed-to boyfriend, Dave (Craig Cash). In the second series Denise has now married Dave, but the Royle family sofa is no less crowded for that. The third series sees the addition of Denise and Dave's first child, Baby David, which brings its share of new trials and tribulations to the semi-inert world of now-grandparents, Jim and Barbara. In 'The Queen of Sheba', Denise and the rest of the clan return to the sofa for a one-off episode. In 'The New Sofa', the Royles return for a Christmas special during which they receive visits from Dave's parents and Twiggy (Geoffrey Hughes), as well as buying a brand new sofa for their living room.
