Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family

Where to start on reviewing the "national treasure" that is Danny Dyer, I must say he is a totally genuine person or indeed tries to be, he is warm, charming, cheeky and funny and you can see everyone he meets in the show really likes him. With that said he employs his charm to keep it real and tell it how it is and we see throughout the two shows real emotion and some really great insight into the brutal history of our past.

I'm in Plaistow a stone's throw from Canning Town, where that geezer comes from and I have never heard the expression "spun my nut" or referring to women as "treacle" from the rhyming slang treacle tart - sweetheart, perhaps before the first world war lol. So much cockney slang is a contrivance methinks.

Whilst the evidence before us is a cheeky cockney there lays a great deal of emotional intelligence and applied intellect to the situations he finds himself in, I think he could make some very good documentaries for the BBC, and they couldn't help but be better than Simon Reeve's brand of liberal authoritarianism. We could have Danny Dyer visits a food bank, goes trading in the city, goes scuba-diving in the Maldives, or helps in an operating theatre, this all sounds like fun.
