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.

Thanks to DizzyHeights and Esther for the info!

UPDATE (and now working): Thanks to Nick, we now have video from Jo's appearance on the show available for download. Caution to parents: Jo does use one word that may not be appropriate for younger viewers.

Posted by Belsito Oct 29th 2006

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.


Posted by Shadowswordth Oct 29th 2006

ooh maybe an OOTP sneak peak to go along with it? i hope!


Posted by iwishiwashermione Oct 29th 2006

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!!


Posted by SiriusBlak Oct 29th 2006

Posted by soph1e Oct 29th 2006

sweet


Posted by alien_from_mars Oct 29th 2006

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!


Posted by Nusayba Oct 29th 2006

Sweet. I wish I had BBC... :( Hope someone records it.


Posted by BaybeeBethy Oct 29th 2006

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!


Posted by sectumsempra99 Oct 29th 2006

awwww.....mugglecast wont be out today....but it will be a good treat for halloween!


Posted by alien_from_mars Oct 29th 2006

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. :)


Posted by The_Maltese_Fan Oct 29th 2006

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.


Posted by hplovahduhhrr Oct 29th 2006

top 25 yo.


Posted by iceboots Oct 29th 2006

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!


Posted by hp323232 Oct 29th 2006

cul!11 top 25?!


Posted by Craig1981 Oct 29th 2006

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


Posted by BaybeeBethy Oct 29th 2006

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...


Posted by coreye7213 Oct 29th 2006

Alright, thats cool and everything....so, how bout releasing mugglecast a bit early? :D


Posted by sectumsempra99 Oct 29th 2006

Posted by Adam101 Oct 29th 2006

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.


Posted by Pinkslips Oct 29th 2006

Posted by skates Oct 29th 2006

Posted by Witchy_Woman Oct 29th 2006

A lot of us won't get to watch it so will you guys have it on the site?


Posted by loveslupin Oct 29th 2006

Urgh. I HATE "The Royle Family" - its so common and unentertaining. I just don't find it funny one bit whatsoever.


Posted by Ilovedanielradcliffe Oct 29th 2006

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!


Posted by dobbyroxmysox Oct 29th 2006

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.


Posted by Craig1981 Oct 29th 2006

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


Posted by Witchy_Woman Oct 29th 2006

How do you mean Sejo?


Posted by Sejo_d69 Oct 29th 2006

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.
