JKR to appear on 'Royle Family' special (video!)
"We Love The Royle Family Sun," a special program about the The Royle Family sitcom, will air tonight at 10 on BBC 1, and Jo Rowling is set to make a guest appearance. JK, along with a number of other celebrities, will recollect their favorite moments from the series. We will have a video online shortly afterwards.

Yay JKR! 1st?
On which station?
No news is good news, eyh?
ooh exciting. 3rd?
sweeet. i'll try to see it maybe?
Thanks for answering my question so promptly. I only get BBC prime and BBC world so I guess I won't be watching it unless they repeat it on Prime sometime.
ooh maybe an OOTP sneak peak to go along with it? i hope!
that's nice. is it available in the US? i don't get the bbc channel here.
Cool!Top 10?!
oh yay i can't wait to watch it!!!
o.O I...MUST...WATCH...BBC1 ...TONIGHT...ON...10PM... *twiching eye*
lol vikaferox relax atleast u have it....i hope mugglenet has a video of it..but theres always youtube...
No wonder the book is coming out so far away! J.K.Rowling has so many things to go to, she doesn't have time to write the book!!
Crud i cant watch it i dont have that channel!!! Crud!! Well good luck any ways Jo!!! You Rock!
OMMMmmmmmmm.............. . all mighty relaxing tantra........ I'm relaxing... I'm calm now... don't wory I'm not agresive O.o lol I hope that good people of MugleNet will record that show cause lots people can't watch it.
true dat......i hope Jo has a good time....and i hope she has a good time and gets right back to working on keeping harry alive---emm..i mean working on the next book...
sweet
JKR wont say anything about her books. Its just one of those shows like they have on Channel four "top best 100 comedy shows" and they have people commenting on the shows, thats all JKR will do. She will comment on the Royle Family show, maybe only make a few appearences! But I will be sure to watch it!
Sweet. I wish I had BBC... :( Hope someone records it.
I was going to watch this anyway, even though I didn't know Jo was going to be in it! This is so awesome! Have you seen baby David? Lol, he's right grown up! And people say Royal Family is boring 'cause they just sit on the couch drinking tea all day! Now I can just think "Well, Jo likes it so stuff you!", and I soo can't wait for tonight, my obsessivness is building up!
awwww.....mugglecast wont be out today....but it will be a good treat for halloween!
Yeah, baby david has grown up just like his dad! Lol It looks fun, I cant wait, and I didnt know JKR would be on it either. :)
I've never watched The Royle Family but from what I hear (and gathering all I know about British Comedy) it sounds like a very good sitcom. But over here we don't get BBC1, so unless it's repeated (in about tne years time) on BBC PRIME I cannot watch it.
top 25 yo.
That’s so cool, I was already looking forward to watching the Royle Family tonight and now I get to see Jo after it as well, perfect evening in. Baby David has beome Little David!
cul!11 top 25?!
The time on the website is wrong. The clocks went back 1 hour last night in the UK, so the program will be starting at 9PM, not 10PM
The actual program starts at 9:00pm and then the comments with Jo begains at 10:15pm in the UK. Dunno where 10:00pm came from...
Alright, thats cool and everything....so, how bout releasing mugglecast a bit early? :D
coreye, mugglecast is being released tuesday, in honor of halloween.
That looks cool!!! I really want to see Jo on that!!!!! Jo u rock!!!
Go JKR!!!!!! wooohoooo!!! mugglecast!!!?
Yes!! Top 50 so i guess this is some british show?? I'm confused
No, it will air at 10 o clock in the United Kingdom because the clocks have rolled back one hour due to daylight savings time. ^Just so people don't miss it.
haha Top 50. Say that more often and I'll laugh everytime. I don't even have that channel...I think...
Oh cool. Please someone tape and send in the video!
^Im wrong, there are 2 royle family shows. Mugglenet is right.
mugglecast isnt till tuesday? but i have exams on tuesday! aww i wanted it before my exams :-(...ill have to wait till after school to get it...ah well...can't get evrything u want...
All this excitment, I bet she only says a couple of words. ;) I cant wait tho, im so excited its verging on pathetic!
Can someone PLEASE put this video on youtube? i really want to watch this, but i cant cause i live in brazil :P JKR is awesome! love her* loved the halloween layout too!
I love this show! It just shows what a proper average british family is like! "OH JIIIIM!" Hahaha Love it! Can't believe JK is on!
yess i can watch cuz i get bbc on my tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!=) and im lovin the layout!!
What do you mean sejo? Only an hour to go folks!
A lot of us won't get to watch it so will you guys have it on the site?
Urgh. I HATE "The Royle Family" - its so common and unentertaining. I just don't find it funny one bit whatsoever.
Thats cool for the people that get to see it eh? I'd just like to point out, I LOVE the halloween layout, i really really LOVE IT. Its excellent!!! So thank you! Very NICE work! The ootp countdown is great aswell, thanks mugglenet!
Sejo_d69 and how has this place changed???its still revolves around harry potter its not like they put up unrelated, random non potter stuff.
Heh. I was wrong. I didnt realise the programme at 9 was an actual episode of the Royle Family. I thought that was the special. My bad! :S
How do you mean Sejo?
Its become more corporate, I guess. Clean, stark, sterile - its not as cozy as it used to be, everything has a system or there are particular procedures in place. Its very different, not to mention the layout change.
