It’s Christmas again. This time Emma’s coming round with her Mum and Dad – Valerie and Roger. They’re a class apart from the Royles and the episode highlights the differences between the two families. Roger and Valerie have two cars, a box at Old Trafford and see a lot of Joe Longthorne socially. After they’ve gone, Jim fumes about how he’s never had anything and never will have – until he finds out he’s got SKY. For Christmas. “Roger my arse!”
