So sad to hear that she has died of cancer.
The Royle Family is one of the few TV series I own on DVD - beautifully written and screamingly funny.
Fifty-two is way too soon.

The Royle Family is right up there with Blackadder with it's ability to mix comedy and poignancy!
As already mentioned 52 is way too soon.0 -
The Fast Show was a staple when I was at Uni. Tried unsuccessfully today to find a video of the her in the "we're from the Isle of Man" sketch - I though it would have been fitting giving the TdF result today.0

Didn't expect a tdf spoiler in this!
Real shame, she was exceptional funny0 -

I have read that she had had cancer more than once, and as she battled through it, it made her the person she was.
As said above, too soon. I think she had more to give, and we are worse for her not being here.

Yeah I never got into Mrs. Merton, I'll always remember her for The Fast Show, probably my favourite comedy sketch series.0

The Royle Family just kept getting better and better, always finding a new angle. She had a lot more to give, such a shame in every way.0

I liked her character Janine, the teenager.
