All I can say is put the kettle on and set your self in front of the tv. I absolutely love this show. Our dear Patricia Routledge does a great job as Hyacinth Bucket or should I say Bouquet ;). There are some moments which arn't funny but overall it's the most funniest show I've seen.
I definitely could watch this over and over again and still keep laughing at it.
It's worth the buy for any fan of british sitcoms!
Keeping Up Appearances isn't merely one of the all-time great British television comedies, but the dowager lady Hyacinth Bucket, as played by the peerless Patricia Routledge, is undoubtedly also one of the greatest comic figures in British history, a new breed of distaff Falstaff for our current gilded age.
When I watch Ms. Routledge do her formidable stuff here -- she knows she is playing one of the most indelible characters ever, and boy, does she go to town with it! -- I think of someone like W.C. Fields, another comic genius who had it all -- the timing, the physical comedy, the appearance, the voice, the vocabulary.
The rest of the cast is right there with her, but I must give special mention to Josephine Tewson as Hyacinth's nervous and long-suffering neighbor Elizabeth. Part of the wonder of this show is the way it exploits the power of repetition in comedy, and Tewson somehow manages to spill her coffee in a new and hilarious fashion every time Hyacinth invites her over.
From the way Hyacinth answers the phone to the dog that surprises her every time she visits her poor relations to the way she unfailingly describes her sister who married well -- somehow it all gets funnier through repetition in the course of this beautifully written series.
We all know a Hyacinth Bucket, and the first time you hear Hyacinth insist with a tone of gentle condescension that it's pronounced "Bouquet," you know that this show has captured the ferocious middle-class snob for all posterity, and with great hilarity.
Really, if you like great television comedy, this box is an essential purchase.
My wife and I have always enjoyed the British comedy "Keeping up Appearances". Our love of this show has gotten several other friends to also share our love. Hence, we had to buy more because of the ones we had given to our friends to enjoy.
