Keeping Up Appearances

We're going to the Thursday matinee, which is a very Hyacinth word by the way, almost up there with soirees and candlelight suppers.

Completely off topic, does anyone know how to do the accent sign over French words?
 
The scene in series 1 or 2 when Elizabeth mouths "no not there dear, I like to face the window" is as funny as...

The episode set in the hotel is good, especially when the occupants of room 210 include Hyacinth's sister, Rose!
 
Yeah, I'm 18 and I've been watching it for years too. My whole family loves it, infact.

However, most people my age don't watch comedies that aren't on Channel 4 unfortunately. :D
 
The irony is, I was re-watching series one last night. What a great series.:) A lot of my favourites came from the 90s. Somehow, the sitcoms of the 00s onwards (with the exception of Two Pints) are just nowhere near as good as those from earlier decades.

It is also worth noting that the actors who played Councillor Mrs Newgent, Daddy and Mary Millar (the second Rose) are no longer with us. I also know that Geoffrey Hughes, Onslow, is being treated for cancer! :cry:
 
I love all the scenes involving Elizabeth, Hyacinth and coffee time. Has me in hysterics every time, especially when her royal doulton comes out, with the hand painted perry winkles! :D
 
I love those scenes and Emmet's complaining "she'll sing at me, she always sings at me" :D Love the way he has to hide from her when she comes out the door!
 
Patricia is now 81 apparently! Great actress though.

It is worth remembering that when she started KUA, she was 60. In episode 2 or 3 of the first series, she climbs over a high wall to get to Daisy's because she tries to convince Liz that Daisy lives in a posh house by parking outside one...funny as...and amazing that at 60, Patricia was able to do such a stunt.
 
I think my favourite episode was the "What to wear when yachting" one, when Hyacinth thnks she's going on some fabulous craft but they turn up to find it's a delapidated old boat
 
No harm done on here hread on here that is about whether Riik and Ade would have approved of that documentary about old celenrities being called The Young Ones, ended up with people(inclluding myself(typing our favourite Young Ones lines(the comedy, not the documentary)
 
The irony with it is that a lot of people are like Hyacinth, but not as extreme. My mother is a carbon copy, and I frequently refer to Hyacinth in reference to my mother. It is now a running joke!:D
