Ricky Tomlinson Remembers... The Royle Family

Ricky takes a fond look back at The Royle Family, sharing his memories of playing head of the family Jim, and his experiences working with the show's co-creator Caroline Aherne, who as well as writing the show with co-star Craig Cash, also played Jim's daughter Denise.

Ricky talks about how a chance encounter helped him get the part, recounts what it was like filming some of the show's most memorable moments and tries to get the bottom of the origins of Jim's famous, below-the-belt catchphrase.
