We were lucky enough to interview Ricky at his home after he had written a book called “Searching for the Rock Island Line”. He was so welcoming and lovely and made us both a cuppa. So down to earth and full of fun. What a guy.
Ricky Tomlinson will always be a Legend, I was fortunate to have met him, shook his hand and had a picture with him at a Show in my Home town in Galway, Ireland.
Met Ricky when I was a Redcoat at Butlins. He was doing a mini stage tour and telling funny stories. Such a lovely bloke, no ego whatsoever. Gave me a huge hug and a study handshake, whilst sipping his Tesco blue-stripe can of lager. He's exactly what you see on screen in person. Top man! Such a warm and welcoming disposition.
I get that they can't do another Royle Family without Caroline. But a Jim and Barbara pilot or even a series would be great. Craig Cash could write that. The grandkids could pop by. Cheryl could be a lodger after she's lost both parents now. Antony could pop round, and his Son could make the tea. Dave could be a deliveroo driver. Jim could have a carer to pop his farmers back in!! 🤔😂
I've loved Ricky since I first saw him in a Ken Loach film (names escapes me just now) in the late 1980s. The Royle Family used to make me weep with laughter. I'm Australian, but the area where I grew was a textile-producing region populated almost entirely by people from Northern England (included my own Nan, who was born just outside of Newcastle). In the late '70s, they shut down all the mills, which led to all the negative socio-economic consequences you might expect. 😒 As a result, I've always resonated more strongly with shows like the Royle Family and movies like 'Brassed Off' and 'The Full Monty' than with most Australian comedy. Ricky is one of my heroes.
saw Ricky in a hotel one night having a meal with others we were on next table, wife said go get a photo i said no dont want to bother him.... he stood up too leave and a hour later had not got out of the room spoke to everyone,,,,,,what a true gent a perfect normal man who feels blessed with what he has
❤❤❤ Please Bobby put how you started in a book. Your life sounds very interesting I would buy in a flash 😊 Bobby you are a great story teller too 😊 Bring him back!!!!
He is great, still watch the Royle family now and still laugh his part was just typical of the normal man off the street farting/moaning/ sitting in the chair putting the world to rights 😂😂
How can you make another series without Nanna and Denise? This is an all time classic that should be left alone. It still stands the test of time, should be kept that way
The four 4 members of the cast who died? Nanna, Twiggy, Joe, Mary and Denise have all died and that's 5, did he forget one or are they not focusing on one?
no he does not address any royle family reunion rumours as there are none it will never happen .stop making headlines up just for clicks and try getting presenters who do their research instead of sat their flashing their teeth and not having a clue what ricky is on about utterly dreadful interviewing.,.,
love the royal family , prob the most underrated comedy/drama of all time but they should of left it alone after nana died (queen of sheeba)..,for me , every episode was worse and worse after . they all became caricatures of their original performances which were some of the best you will see ,. genius writing , acting.. first few seasons / flawless
The presenters are childish…unpleasant to watch…and lack any kind of professional expertise…they are simply so far up themselves they are almost inside out…they distract from the guests and put themselves on show instead…

Would you go as far as to say he was "surprisingly down to earth and VERY funny?"

So down to earth, what a lovely man, deserves all the luck in the world. Top lad ricky
I could listen to him tell stories all day!

My favourite part was where Ricky Tomlinson addressed ‘Royle Family’ reunion rumours
He'll always be Bobby Grant from Brookside to me!

Legend a truly fantastic actor!
Ricky wouldn't like us calling him a National Treasure, but that's what he is.
The Royal family is one of the most endearing shows I've ever seen watching it warms the heart
Proper and genuine person with huge talent
ricky you have made me laugh for years and years......i only have to listen to you and you make my day
He's done some incredible work
Absolutely fantastic actor/comedian
The part where he addresses the Royle Family reunion rumours must be in another interview then 🤦
Absolute legend
What a man, what a man!!!!!
He reminds me of my grandad so much
Same here, hair, beard, sense of humour and politics
Down to earth fella brilliant actor
A real peoples superstar ❤
A national treasure.
❤❤❤ Please Bobby put how you started in a book. Your life sounds very interesting I would buy in a flash 😊 Bobby you are a great story teller too 😊 Bring him back!!!!
he has done a book.
Love this man!
I agree with his Ken Loache comment!
Tarantino's better.
@@r4h4al his films are too violent for me.
Love the suttle box ticking presenters 😂😂
Good old Ricky, laugh a minute , Last saw him in a Spanish nightclub
He is great, still watch the Royle family now and still laugh his part was just typical of the normal man off the street farting/moaning/ sitting in the chair putting the world to rights 😂😂
Box tickers🤣
This guy gave millions to charity proper decent fella.
His autobiography is so interesting
It is. A brilliant read. He has lived an incredible life. Love Ricky.
It’d never be any use without Caroline Aherne anyway. Can’t have it without her.
How can you make another series without Nanna and Denise? This is an all time classic that should be left alone. It still stands the test of time, should be kept that way
i would love to have a few pints with Ricky and ray winston lol
Oh, count me in!
@@cheryltom your on ha
Nice bloke down to earth as fk.
Pumped Andy lol
💯🤣🤣🙈💪
Just been on a cruise with him 😅
The four 4 members of the cast who died?
Nanna, Twiggy, Joe, Mary and Denise have all died and that's 5, did he forget one or are they not focusing on one?
Comedy legend
The royal family will never return, it can’t with Caroline aherne the main writer and star
*Royle*
I reckon they'll find a way to do it.
It wouldn't be the same without twiggy or Denise or Norma(nana)
no he does not address any royle family reunion rumours as there are none it will never happen .stop making headlines up just for clicks and try getting presenters who do their research instead of sat their flashing their teeth and not having a clue what ricky is on about utterly dreadful interviewing.,.,
Would this morning consider employing a presenter from the North? Just for a bit of balance.
Top lad
Love how the presenters barely get a word in.
Yeah the less you hear from them the better on all counts.
Ladies and gentleman England will be playing four four f#*king two
Benson & Hedges up front
He ed Ricky……😂

Tommo on Form.
Presenters are so fake
hiya jim
One of my favourite actor ,hes hot!!!
😳🤨
Well the presenter is hot
@@danielmaya-actor9405 oh I thought you meant Ricky Tomlinson
@@wgeorge6048 Another guy said Ricky Tomlinson was hot, not me
@@danielmaya-actor9405 im Sure Andy will be happy with that
RUMOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're not American!
Didn't notice, that's sad to see.
Very funny great actor but the Royals not the same without Caroline 😢
Legend! Rochelle however is so fake 👎🏻
She's great
Rumours...............................
I can't take this seriously. Spelling mistakes in the title, cheesy woman who doesn't know who she is talking to, and Andy CBBC Peters.. Not today!
We want the rockets, we want the rockets.
There the Door Barb
So is it being done with a medium? As 2 them dead
3 of them
@@andrewjohnston2850 ffs it be dads army next
‘Rumors’? Why the American spelling?
I can certainly think of reasons how! Auto correct, ignorance or both.
Great person and great actor, but also how much hair for his age 😮
Rumours
Andy Peters trying to look interested. So fake. Awful host
I like you but went on about immigrants

The presenters are childish…unpleasant to watch…and lack any kind of professional expertise…they are simply so far up themselves they are almost inside out…they distract from the guests and put themselves on show instead…
Yeah don't like them. Particularly Andy. He seems too squeaky clean.
Totally agree. They can't even successfully fake an interest in what Ricky had to say here.
And their colour is nothing to do with ability just box ticking.....useless@@bdt3367
Woke society for you
CatsPJ. That’s some black privilege for you right there 😉.
The female presenter is so pretentious! Not worth his time or space.
This Morning = Zero credibility with clowns like this being wheeled out to 'present' it.
