Question by player ref5014

7. Which family in a TV sitcom included Jim, Barbara, Denise, and Antony?

Answer: The Royle Family

"The Royle Family" was a British sitcom that ran from 1998 to 2012. It was created by Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash, who starred as Denise Royle and her boyfriend, and later husband, Dave Best. The show was filmed mainly indoors, and largely set in a single room, with no audience or laugh track, as the Royles watched and commented on the TV. Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston, who had previously appeared as a married couple in "Brookside", played Jim and Barbara Royle, Denise's parents, and Ralf Little played her brother, Antony.

The show's gentle humour and obvious love between the characters, despite their bickering and selfishness, made the show a hit.

8. In which TV show did Fred pretend to have a heart attack when he saw Lamont pretend to strangle a white woman?

Answer: Sanford and Son

While Lamont and a friend rehearsed "Othello", Fred and Bubba came to the house. Fred looked in the window on the door and saw Lamont put his hands around a white woman's throat on the couch. Fred grabbed his chest and said, "I'm comin' to join ya, Elizabeth!" Bubba asked, "What's wrong?" Bubba looked in the window and grabbed his chest and said he was going with Fred to see Elizabeth, Fred's dead wife who might've been in heaven. Of course, this happened on "Sanford and Son" about a man and his grown son who lived together and ran a junkyard business.
