Ricky Tomlinson: I Nearly Said No To Royle Family Revival
Liverpool legend Ricky Tomlinson has revealed that he came close to saying no to reprising his iconic role as house layabout Jim Royle in the upcoming Christmas special of The Royle Family.
In an interview on Richard & Judy’s New Position last night on Watch (at 8pm), former Brookside star Ricky admitted that the success of last year’s comeback episode had discouraged him for signing up for another stint in the classic British sitcom – “I wasn’t going to do it because I thought ‘we’ve done the Queen of Sheba’ last year, and it was such a huge success, it was wonderful, and I actually said to John Russell our wonderful producer ‘I don’t fancy doing it John.”
