The Royle Family: The Queen Of Sheba

Seconded. Last night's episode made me want more though. They managed to do what so many resurrected shows often fail to do after a long gap (Only Fools and Horses included) and that's update the show to make it relevant to today's audience, rather than simply putting out an episode that could have easily slotted in next to one of the old episodes. There was a 7 year gap between episodes, and the characters have developed and moved on accordingly, including Nana who unfortunately had deteriorated, whereas any other show would simply carry on exactly as it was the last time it was on air. It may not be what the audience wanted to happen (we've missed so much!) but its true to life.
