Speaking of the new Oasis, the old Oasis provided the theme music for a new comedy series called The Royle Family (BBC2), 10pm). [...] The muttering television set kept the remote possibility of silence at bay, while conversation proceeded along a series of well-worn grooves, punctuated only by the occasional fart or crunch of a pork crackling. Gradually, the layers of old jokes, stale repartee and commonplace observation built up to form a towering termite mound of mirth.
