I love watching episodes of "Keeping Up Appearances". Well done show. Her character would drive anyone insane. :laugh:

[jstraw]

She looks so young in "To Sir With Love."

[Sean Keane]

That lady's timing is perfect.

A customer booked a computer in at work a few weeks ago, her last name was bouquet..... I was so tempted (when I called her up) to address her as "Mrs Bucket".... :D

[Coldacre]

Keeping up appearances is my favourite comedy series apart from the unbeatable Monty Python's Flying Circus and Fawlty towers.

After watching KUA, all my furniture is Royal Crest.

"Bucket Residence...the lady of the house speaking...(pause)...NO, this is NOT the Chinese take-away..."

[Destroyer]

Amazing slapstick comedienne. Incredible physical humor - she does more with a swivel of the head and an eye roll than someone like Jim Carrey could ever hope for.

The Christmas episode where Richard gets drunk with Emmet is without a doubt my favorite.

Hyacinth is so perfectly realized by Patricia that I forget she's not a real person. Routledge is mesmerizing, riveting and brilliant.

I doubt I'll ever love anything more than Fawlty Towers, and Only Fools and Horses is a top favorite, but Keeping Up Appearances is right up there.

Imagine Hyacinth Bucket as a guest at Fawlty Towers.:bigeek:

....well maybe if the Prime Minister is also staying there! :laugh:

She never invited me over for one of her candlelight suppers. :D

I'm afraid you've just outed your standing in society, then - you simply weren't in the proper circles. It's dog eat dog in the West Midlands Social Set. :D

[Krnak]

My favourite line of hers has got to be the one where Richard crushes his nuts falling through a cottage ceiling on to a beam:

"Well Richard, how long are you going to have to walk like that..."

[Butterfly Blue]

She's great. I love Keeping Up Appearances. Her facial expressions alone crack me up.

[Maidenpriest]

She was great in last ever Episode of Steptoe And Son from 1974 as a psychic medium!! :laugh:

[ROLO46]
