There was never a TV show like "Keeping up appearances" that let me laugh so much in all my life, Patricia Routledge is absolutely stunning and wonderful
2:09 Her attempt to be a foreign worker is TOTALLY HILARIOUS.....especially with her facial expressions....such an incredible talent and performer.....xx
I have been watching this show for more years than I can remember and it never gets old. My sides still hurt from uncontrollable fits of laughter. Ms Rutledge is unbelievably hilarious. The entire cast is to be commended. Excellent show.
I really sad to say the old classic phrase..."They don't make thiings like this anymore" .......makes me genuinley sad but grateful for the classic gold!
I absolutely love Rose, Daisy and Onslow. But they’re all fantastic. I love the episode where they all go for a picnic with ‘riparian entertainment’ by the river. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Magic!
I can watch British sitcoms over and over and over and never get bored or tired. Can't think of any American sitcoms I can even finish watching. I'm American btw...lol
This one amazing, unsurpassed, British Comedy can change my mood immediately! It has pulled me out of any sadness or depression moments I have ever felt. "Keeping Up Appearances" will always be one of the greatest passions of my entertainment escapes! I own the whole series and consider it one of the simplest and wisest investments of my life. Pure joy and laughter.
God this is hysterical, especially those little musical/dancing bursts of hers! :-D Suddenly you appreciate she was very nimble and energetic for a woman in her 60s!
Soundseeker...she was normally nimble, I would say...also, it was her character who was more or less "nutty". She wasn't too old to be nimble. I watched her sing opera, so she's the Renaissance woman/performer etc. She is an artist in the true sense of the word; some actors are classified in certain roles but she plays all wih equal justice - the performance (opera) that I saw was not a satire or anything comedic as she does in this series.

Everything about Hyacinth/Patricia Rutledge is hysterical. The shrill voice down to her high heels on the driveway! The floral prints and hats. And let’s not overlook her “country” look! Constant laughter and enjoyment. I can’t see Keeping Up Appearance too often!
I have the box set of this series and am looking at an episode a day to keep me sane in this lock down. Patricia Routledge is one of the most talented actresses alive. The rest of the cast were incredible too.
Watching these clips I was struck at how physical was her role in Keeping Up Appearances. Many stunts in addition the general level of energy and tension in Hyacinth. It reminded me of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy; that role required a level of physicality and energy as well. She is a gem!
The Major seems to be a jolly sort of gentleman with keen eye for some good time. 1:51 and Hyacinth just introduced her signature weapon on him: "Light refreshments"

Joanne Upton Just love watching her the more I watch her the more I laugh she made the character hyacinth fabulous actress irreplaceable one in a million
@@helrethlewis9469 OMG!! Thank you so much for enlightening me!! I kind of knew it was a fourth sister, but my mind wasn't registering!! Thanks and stay safe!!
Also I realized that the producers were smart about the names, as each type of flower represents the status/character of the sisters: Violet: most expensive flower of them all/ Hyacinth: also expensive/ Daisy: very common and cheap 😜 /Rose: Beautiful on the outside and somewhat cheap/common. This show is a masterpiece! ❤️
I own the whole series and even today, thirty years later, the expert comic timing is still spot on. I laugh as hard today as I did in the 90s when they were still making new shows. There are only 44 episodes, but perhaps Dame Patricia Routledge was correct in stopping the series before it became stale. I still would like to have known how she recuperated after that last accident (in the last episode) that took her off to hospital!!
My favorite British tv show EVER! And Hyacinth is one of my favorite tv characters of all time, in order - J.R. Ewing, Alexis Colby, Ruth Langmore and Hyacinth Bucket!
