It seems an odd time to put it on (not that im complaining!), but I thought they would have put it in the Crimbo line up.
Thanking the fabulous TAbbie, for the banner!

From Today's (The Sun) 25.10.06
THE Royle Family returns this week after six years — and after a sneak preview TV Biz reveals it was worth the wait.
The BBC was trying to keep the plot of the one-off episode by creator Caroline Aherne top-secret.
But could they keep it secret from TV Biz? Could they, my a**e!
The show opens with Jim Royle larking about on a Stannah stairlift. And it never goes downhill from there.
There are some changes since we last saw the telly-mad family in 2000.
Denise (Aherne) is pregnant with child No 2. Baby David is now Little David — and played by Harry Cash, real-life son of Craig Cash, who plays his screen dad. Anthony (Ralf Little) is a businessman in a sharp suit and Jim (Ricky Tomlinson) appears to have WASHED his crusty old T-shirt.
Amazingly, the chain-smoking bunch seem to have quit the cigs, although that’s not mentioned. We won’t give away the plot, but it’s not all tears of laughter — there is the right amount of pathos to make it emotional too
Liz Smith steals the show as Nana. Her description of her pal’s posh a la carte dinner is brilliant: “She had soup of the day, which was Friday.”
It’s best not to mess with a winning formula, and Aherne sticks to hers. The boys laying laminate flooring to the Jungle Book tune is nearly as good as the Jim Royle’s classic decorating to Mambo Number 5.
We have a few gripes — Denise saying “babes” a lot and Tomlinson being too over-the-top. But all this is just minor.
By the end of the hour-long show, you’ll have been on an emotional rollercoaster watching the return of one of the best British TV comedies ever.
Welcome back — we missed you.
Catch the show on BBC1 at 9pm this Sunday.
I am in tears already, tears of sadness and joy

Thanks for the article. I love the Royal Family, its so funny. Its a shame its only a one off though.
"We Love The Royle Family Sun," a special program about the The Royle Family sitcom, will air tonight at 10 on BBC 1, and Jo Rowling is set to make a guest appearance. JK, along with a number of other celebrities, will recollect their favorite moments from the series.
I just can't wait till 9pm tonight ! Its going to be the best ever!
im glad they are only making a one off special and not another series because programmes are never usually the same when they come back!! baby david 7 i was really shocked! where does time go? does anyone know if there is going to be a christmas speacial?
