Yes, I agree. And I also love Josephine Tewson, a charming woman, her character of "Elizabeth" frequently on the verge of a nervous breakdown over whether to have a beaker or a cup of tea. And Clive Swift's poor, henpecked "Richard" was also delightful. The man deserved a Nobel Prize for patience.
Love this woman....a truly great queen of comedy. Great timing, physical comedy, facial expressions, costumes, all of the complete package is Patricia. I can watch her over and over and always brings laughter.
hours and hours of laughs and entertainment that i have got from you Mrs. Routledge and all your co-actors! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!!!!From Belgium
Lady Routledge is the very definition of class , her and Joanna Lumley are quite different but they are both phenomenal and i love them both dearly and immensely .
I had the boxed DVD set of Keeping Up Appearances. Each episode is a gem! Who could forget her hat at the end of the episode with Riparian Entertainment!
Hyacinth is so much more of a treasure than the basic aristocrats she wants to impress and emulate hahah. what a precious character. I just love Patricia's creation and performance ...priceless
Before she even opens her mouth,I’m already in hiisterics, laughing like mad,Her serious looking face is so,so,funny, I couldn’t stop laughing. She’s very infectiousand most entertaining to watch.love watching her and the other casts.
I love you Patricia. You have made comedy special. I also enjoyed "Are you being Served", and have been a fan of yours and theirs for many many years. Now I am up in age, and still enjoy the reruns. May you live forever, dear. You are the best and the cast.....unequaled in my opinion. Thanks so much for your dedication and the laughs. With kindest regards, Lonnie.
It's nice to know Patricia is much like Elizabeth in real life xD Oh she is such a beautiful person. I always wondered whether she found the character of Hyacinth exhausting but I'm so happy she enjoyed it as its enjoyable to the viewers. I don't think there will be another comedy actress quite like her. Her mannerisms and facial expressions and constant energy on set had me doubled up laughing. I don't know how she did it. I also adored her as Kitty in Victoria Wood's as Seen on TV. She was more edgy on that :3 Thankyou for uploading this treasure. Patricia is absolute class.
I'm from holland and i think that the British have the best sense of humor! Are you being served? Dad's army, some mothers do have them, it ain't half hot mum, bottom, the young ones, blackadder, mr bean, london calling, etc etc. We dutch love all of it, and it's such a shame they don't make comedy's like that anymore. The same for pop music because imo the british had the best bands ever in the 70's and 80's. A true nation of TALENTED entertainers alright!
@@michaelreilly3513 it's called old age! She is 82 years old here,she may have health problems where she cant have the work done. Why pick on her appearance? Very low of you considering the person she is,she is an amazing lady. That's the issue with nowadays,people looking at appearance too much and not the actual person. Grow up.
We have all been blessed to have grown up with all these Absolutely incredible people but Patricia Routledge is a National Treasure. Thank you to the old BBC for bringing them into our lives in such wonderful ways.
I always thought it was very sweet how much Daisy loved her Onslow. She and Onslow always seemed happy with their lot. Unlike Hyacinth, who was never satisfied.
@@linrob1312 Absolutely, I love how loyal Hyacinth was to Richard despite all she put him through. You really saw it whenever Hyacinth was with the Major, how she loved his flattery but never even entertained the idea of betraying Richard.
She's right. Clive Swift was a fantastic actor. If the script really did give him that little work with, he made Richard into a character everyone could sympathize with and feel very sorry for, the chemistry between him and David Griffin who played Emmet was so good. I use to love this show, I still don't think I've seen all the episodes, I should rewatch the whole thing.
He was. I never did understand, though, why he stayed with her. She was beastly to him, and he was ostensibly intelligent, and certainly undeserving of her attitude toward him.
Keeping Up Appearances was a great programme. I remember as a kid enjoying Judy Cornwall on Moody and Pegg many many years ago .. another great programme.
There are very few series which I watched. However, I just Love 'Keeping up apperances' and until today I like to watch the episodes on internet:) Hyacintha is one of my favourite character ever!
Judy Cornwell AND DAME Patricia routledge are both VERY friendly lady's THEY seem💓👍💯🌟 NICE ONE hyacinth AND daisy Some comedy actors are NOT sadly IN real life..
She was also on the movie, Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River, with Jerry Lewis, and was quite young and funny as well. An extremely talented actress and a British gift to the world along with other equally talented Brits. We love you, Hyacinth.
I know one of the two scenes she's referring to, the one with the horse that galloped away with her. They showed the stunts name in the credits. Now I'll make sure to look carefully for the second one. My guess it's the scene when she fell off the the boat (Contessa?!) into the water. Thanks for the challenge Dame Patricia Routledge, I will find it. LOL!
