Cast Of The Royle Family Where Are They Now

Remember The Royle Family? Ah, simpler times! Well, maybe not simpler, but definitely hilarious. Let's check in on the crew. Where are they now?
The Royle Family: Then and Now
Jim Royle (Ricky Tomlinson)
Ricky Tomlinson, the king of complaining, is still a legend. He's popped up in a few things since. Seems like a proper bloke in real life, unlike Jim!
Unpopular opinion: I actually kinda miss his grumpy one-liners.
Must Read
Barbara Royle (Sue Johnston)
Sue Johnston, the ever-patient Barbara, has been busy. She's been on everything from Coronation Street to Downton Abbey. Talk about range!
She always seemed like the only sane one in that house. Anyone else agree?
Denise Royle (Caroline Aherne)
Oh, Denise. Caroline Aherne, sadly, is no longer with us. But her comedic genius lives on through her writing and performance.

Let's be honest, we all knew a Denise. Or maybe, secretly, we were Denise at some point.
Antony Royle (Ralf Little)
Ralf Little, who played Antony, has gone on to bigger things. He's a detective now, solving crimes on Death in Paradise. From tea boy to island detective. Quite the glow-up!
He was always the butt of the joke. But who's laughing now?

Dave Best (Craig Cash)
Dave! Played by Craig Cash, who also co-wrote the show. A man of many talents.
He's still writing and directing. Funny guy for sure. Wonder if he still likes his sausages?
Nana Norma (Liz Smith)
The iconic Nana Norma, played by Liz Smith. She sadly passed away, but she gave us some unforgettable TV moments. The epitome of a sweet, but interfering, grandma.

Who else thinks Nana Norma secretly ruled the Royle household?
Twigg (Geoffrey Hughes)
Geoffrey Hughes, who played the cheeky Twigg, has also sadly passed. Forever associated with that cheeky grin. He brought a certain "something" to the show.
Another character we loved to hate. He was brilliant.

Still Makes Us Laugh
The Royle Family still makes me laugh out loud. The realism! The awkward silences! It's all too relatable.
It's a proper reminder to cherish your family, even if they drive you mad. I mean, who hasn't had a Jim Royle moment?
It's good to see the cast have gone on to do different things. Their work still bring joy. A proper slice of British comedy gold!
