A lot of shows like this definitely wouldn't be made nor green lit in the first place. Especially if it doesn't fit with current time period or watching for an audience. And if it were made the people around who made it what it was aren't working or even living today.

@@geometria3 Too much true crime and fictional crime. The British were kings of subtle and gentle humour. Unfortunately, this new generation of middle-class producers and executives at the BBC and ITV think they know best by pushing cooking, home decorating, "talent" shows and crime dramas and documentaries.

It might get approved if the characters were of color, trans, and disabled, and the script gave the "proper" perspective of British society. IE always was indigenous coloreds.

What a wonderful treat! I've seen every episode of Keeping up Appearances several times, but I have never seen this short. It was fantastic to see this "new" short episode. Thank you!

Unbelievable that so many comments miss the humour of this Special and the fact it was merely a dream. It is pure Hyacinth.

This is pure comedic entertainment! Incredibly funny and only a near 7 min clip, I wish this had been made into a full episode as a bonus.

Simply put, I wish they would have made more episodes of this show. It was hysterical from the first word to the last word.

Harold Snoad the producer and director of Keeping Up Appearances said in the 2009 book "It's Bouquet Not Bucket!" Unfortunately Patricia Routledge was "hedging her bets" when the filming external location scenes were completed in early August 1995. Harold Snoad asked if she was interested in producing a sixth series. Patricia Routledge replied she wouldn't be available in 1996 (expect for a Christmas special for 1996) as she was touring the theatre. But she would be available in 1997 and she would think about it. In the end of May 1995 Routledge had just completed the post production on the BBC's television series "Hetty Winthorpe Investiages" in October 1995 the BBC informed Snoad and Roy Clarke (at short noticed) that they wanted a Christmas special of KUP for 1995. In November 1995 after the fifth series of Keeping Up Appearances was broadcast during rehearsals for the 1995 special The Padgent' Snoad again then approached Routledge on the matter of if she had thought more about if she wanted to produce a sixth series of KUP. She replied "she hadn't". For a long while then the cast and crew were 99.9% that this was the last episode of Keeping Up Appearances. Unfortunately it was. The cast and were then for a long while waiting to see what would happen regarding the future of Keeping Up Appearances. But Patricia Routledge knew then when in November 1995 when the BBC commissioned a second series of "Hetty Winthorpe Investigates", that she was done with Hyacinth. With Routledge wanting to focusing on the theatre and other television acting roles.

We all need a little hyacinth in our lives.

Hard to express how good it was to see this scene, which almost felt like a "lost episode" in a way. My partner and I discovered KUA here in The States on PBS (when I was 25) while living in our first apartment together, and fell in love with Hyacinth and the gang instantly. I'm so appreciative that this footage is available to enjoy. I laughed so much at this today that tears started pooling up in my eyes! 😂

Never seen this before, was only 12 then though. Used to watch the series with my nan ☺️

This is one of the BEST of the episodes........great to be able to see this one!

I love this show! I found it on PBS in the mid 2000s and quickly became addicted. The entire cast is amazing and the writing is so sharp.

Wow ❤️ Seen all the episodes and specials, never knew this existed! Thanks for sharing 👍

The sheets and the wallpaper......OMG.....

I always used to watch 'the Bucket woman' at my grandma's on VHS tapes. Classic British comedy which just isn't made anymore. Like many others I've never seen this sketch before, what a treat! 😊

this is great never seen it before wonder if their is any more unused scripts that could be published

Wow i've never seen this before...that was great!! Thanks for sharing ; )

I've been looking for this clip for years!!!! Thank you for uploading!

Now this is acting, just dialogue, tragic yet humorous in a monologue. No sitcoms like this or sitcoms at all on UK TV anymore.

I thought I'd seen every episode and clip of this show. Loved watching it with my dad. This one was new to me, though, and just as funny as ever!!

Thanks!!! Never saw this one!

Never seen ot before. Thanks so much for sharing the video

Omg I've been looking for this for years thank you so much!!!!!

Absolutely brilliant!

Never knew this existed; I thought I saw everything involving KUA. Thanks for sharing this. Was this THE final thing ever filmed by them, or would that be the Historical Pageant "Civil War" episode?

Like a lot of other people I have seen all the episodes several times but have never seen this. Or don’t remember seeing it at least, I was 11 when it aired. This show will always be fantastic and remind me of a simpler time. I remember watching the Christmas episodes at my Auntie’s house and feeling safe. Like a lot of the cast, she is no longer here. I think of her always x

Give my love to Onslow. Providing he's wearing pajamas. Hyacinth emotionally overwhelmed😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

I've never seen this episode before. Was this an alternative ending episode?

This English comedy was very popular over here in Barbados back then...I love how Onslow slaps the TV 😂😂😂

Another KZread channel just posted this video. I've never seen this before and Iv watched some extra material that wasn't in episode.

And yet it was only 5 years ago they made a one-off prequal special that had none of those aspects. Can you please tell me where the BBC - a broadcaster that also broadcasts Mrs Browns Boys, currently making Little Britain available to stream/broadcast on TV - with a tv special as recent as late 2023 - ever did a programme that specifically had those exact features? Do yourself a favour my guy, take your transphobia and racist idiocy and shove it back in your closet, we dont need it. The fact that the BBC seems to annoy you in such a way seems to mean they are doing a good job.
