Synopsis

Couch potatoes, armchair philosophers and national treasures; the Royles return for another festive one-off special. This year Jim and Barbara are treated to a generous sum of money by their loving family, the only problem is what to spend it on? As Barbara considers exotic holidays in the Bermuda Triangle, Jim works on convincing her that a satellite HD box is a far more fitting use of the gift. Created by Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash, THE ROYLE FAMILY's subtle humour and surprisingly poignant moments have seen it become a modern comedy classic.
