What a sad early demise for such a funny and clever woman. RIP.

Mrs Merton, to Edwina Currie, in a broad Manc accent: 'Y'know, I know somebody who would really be interested in you.'
Currie, leaning forward eagerly, flirtatiously: 'Oh, who?'
Mrs Merton: 'You.'

Priceless. I was suspicious of the Royle family at first, thought it was going to be patronising and/or snobby, but it was so accurate and warm hearted.

No way? She was great, so funny and quick witted, I somehow always thought she seemed like she had a whole deck of cards up her sleeve rather than one.

She was far too young to die.

In reply to Yanis Nayu:

My favourite Mrs Merton moment was the Dale Winton interview.

She teased him a bit about his gayness, "Does your wife like Supermarket Sweep, Dale Winton?"

Then finished the interview by seeming to apologise but it was all leading to the punchline

"I'm sure you can't wait to get your ring on the end of someone's finger"

That was 1995, when you look at the ballaching conservatism on UKC sometimes, people acting horrified by something rude or crude or sweary or so-called blokey and you realise they're trying to drag us all backwards at an alarming rate.

The Chris Eubank interview was my favourite, where she said something like "How did you feel when Nigel Benn came at you from behind and licked you in the ring?"
