@@FactsVerseUK when Rose came over to the church dressed in black chasing the dishy vicar around outside the church climbing up the ladder.

I introduced my parents to "Keeping up Appearances," and from then on every Saturday evening our television was tuned to that series. My father's health was failing and he was having mini strokes. He didn't communicate that well, but oh! could he laugh when that show was on. He never tired of watching the series----even the reruns. My mother loved the show, and once my father passed she would sit in the living room and wait for the show to come on. She roared with laughter at Hyacinth's antics, identified with Richard as the long suffering spouse, and delighted in the antics of Rose. When the boxed set of the series came out, I bought the set for my mother. She watched every episode, and she had her favorites----especially the one where the characters go out on the river, and Richard and Hyacinth encounter a dredging operation that dumps river muck on them. That series brought my parents a lot of joy in their final years, and I'm grateful to the cast for providing good comedy and all round cheer to the millions who watched that show.

Loved Hyacinth's interaction with the Major 😂

He made my mums day when he agreed to have his photo taken with her. He was a kind chap, humourous, humble and very witty.

Watch for Patricia Routledge as one of the school teachers in the movie "To Sir With Love" also. I guess the character I liked and related to best was Daisy.

Onslow’s FH cap (Fulton Hogan) was given to Geoffrey Hughes in the late 80’s when he was a guest for Dunedin NZ festival week. Fulton Hogan is a major construction company in NZ, which back then it’s Head office was located in Dunedin.

The 1960s police drama Z-Cars was first broadcast live before being recorded it ended in the 1970s and Softly Softly was a spin-off and the Z in the title is pronounced as Zed in England, so it literally reads Zed-Cars, and they're called Z-Cars because the police cars used were Ford Zephyrs and the series was based in the docklands of Liverpool,

What about Rose, Daddy, the Vicar (and his wife), Violet, the Major and others?

My first experience with Keeping up Appearances was Onslo & Daisy sitting in bed & sharing their funny dialogues. Somehow I found this darling show again & again. Of course Patricia Rutledge won my heart as well as all the other actors. They all did such a great job. Thanks for many hours of the greatest entertainment ever…RIP those who have gone on.
