JudyJudyJudy Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I watched the documentary about her last night. It was very moving as well as incredibly funny. What a truly talented woman and a really decent human being. I loved " Mrs Merton" when it started years ago and then she went on to create one of the greatest observational comedy shows of all time " The Royale family". A show where you laughed and were moved at the same times in various scenes. The high point being " The Queen of Sheba " episode where Nana died. At times so funny but again very moving. Wonderful acting from all the cast and the writing was a loving recreation of normal decent people. God bless her. She died of cancer at only 53 BBC iPlayer - Caroline Aherne: Queen of Comedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only decent thing on all day. She really was a funny woman and it was really moving to see how much she meant to everyone who knew and worked with her, especially Craig Cash.
