Yeah, but Ms Routledge who played Hyancinth is now 90 and still active.

I bought that etiquette book. Gave it as a gift to my parents. We had our Friday Night, Candle light Suppers. Complete with a candelabra.

Two of my favorite talented and terrific actors that make us laugh. The show was fantastic and funny. It was great to see them act again. They do get on very well.

Excellent actors! The show was wonderful and I enjoyed laughing through the shows.

Rich sense of humour she has, shows how well trained, refined and witty she is.

I really fond of on how both of them respect the audiences at the end of the session. They are the national treasure indeed!

I so love Patricia, she is a wonderful person!!

2 of Britain's best ever comedy actors.

My wife and i still watch this show and love it.

Two great actors performing together on stage... How I wish I could have seen that...

It is always a pleasure to see Clive and Patricia, thanx loads! Kim

they are just great !! I love the couple and the inimitable sense of humor delivered by the series !!! Great artists !!!

Such wonderful people. Bless em!

I discovered this show KUA from a good friend a few years ago and have not missed an episode since. My regret is that I never got to see all of them when the series began. But, now I see the reruns and they are hilarious. Time passes all too soon for multi- talented actors such as Hyacinth and Richard to be really appreciated by American audiences. Thank you BBC for bringing such humor into our lives.

patricaia is such a good actress i love her so much anf keeping up apperances is such a good comedy shame it onli lasted 5 years,this woman is amazing apsolutly love this lady she inspires me

i'm latin and love keeping up appearances, funny, different, and a touch of england, i wish i lived there, hopefully one of this days go and visit england, i like all the cast members, all of them are really funny, the best show from england here in america, good luck to all of its members including Rose which she 's no longer with us, but in spirit she would always be, god bless all of you, best show still watch here on you tube......the best ever...

I love Dame Patricia Routledge she is seriously funny.

Ms. Rutledge is by far the most talented actress in the world. She can play any part beautifully. Love you as Hyacynth. Your are truly amazing. I never thought my favorite actress would be British! !

Were I a citizen of England, I would say Patricia Routledge is a "national treasure." But since I'm a citizen of the United States, I'll just say Miss Routledge is an "imported treat," one whom we don't get a chance to see as often as we should. Does anyone know if Miss Routledge is still acting or retired? The reruns of "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates" are a few years old by now, and I've seen no other programs with this fine actress since.

Since I first saw Keeping up Appearances, I've always been wondering how Patricia Routledge could seem so naturally... irritating. I mean, it's as if she's not acting, which is a great compliment. I can usually imagine actors and actresses acting "normally" in interviews, but not this time. This is the first time I see her out of character, actually. Almost didn't want to spoil that magic. She's a good actress.

is a big, Canadian fan, of "KUA"(particularly, "Onslow"); seeing this, was wonderful.

Just imagine a crossover with One Foot in the Grave with Keeping Up Appearances. It would be a masterpiece of comedy.

Could you see the Buckets....sorry, it's "Bouqueeeeeeeeeè"..... in an episode of Fawlty Towers or Are You Being Served?

My earliest theater experiences were seeing the Boston company of "Godspell" in 1972. And I was lucky to have caught Lauren Bacall on television, reprising her Tony Award-winning role in "Applause," restaged with the London cast for CBS-TV in 1973.

This and doc Martin were my favorite English shows.

I adore them Mr. and mrs. Boukay

ADORE these people!

excelent british humor, both performing very well, hope to see their show more often on the TV.

I like British sitcoms or comedies very much. I liked Patrica Routledge in the movie To Sir with love, in which she played a teacher in a london high school. I also enjoy the comedy series KEEPING UP APPEARANCES. i'm glad they are on DVD.

I saw a interview with Patricia and she said the scripts and the director Harold Snoad were becoming repetitive and that as a actress she wanted to do other characters and not be known or defined as only Hyacinth Bucket.

They make a great comedic pair ala Lucy and Ricky, Ralph and Alice, etc.

Yes Rest In Peace Clive. Dame Patricia will carry on

Two great actors. They portrayed their characters brilliantly well. I dont think any other actors could have done as good. And I bet they had such a laugh working together. Im gonna buy that book!

@englishbayman @englishbayman Thank you for pointing out Miss Routledge's appearances in those works. I know she also got her early starts in the West End and on Broadway. But I was much too young to have traveled to London or New York by myself in those days, and my family situation would not have permitted it.

I have the full version including the lovely sketch where Richard and Hycinth get stuck in the tiny kitchen.

Remember when there was such a thing as Professional Actors... who were interested in nothing more than rendering the best performance possible.. as opposed to professional activists, who just shrieked, and lectured you all the time?.

@dackelmommy And if you like Clive Swift, who plays "Richard Bucket" on "Keeping Up Appearances," he co-stars in a fairly amusing Britcom called "Old Guys," which may still be in production. That series also features Jane Asher, sister of legendary musician (the 1960s' pop duo Peter & Gordon) and producer (Linda Ronstadt's hits) Peter Asher. Miss Asher was also the romantic partner of Sir Paul McCartney in the '60s, prior to McCartney having met & married Linda Eastman.

@OldOrrie Also, in terms of male & female pairings on American TV sitcoms, of course Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were excellent on "I Love Lucy' (which currently airs on the cable TV Hallmark Channel); as well the inimitable George Burns and Gracie Allen on their self-titled sitcom of the 1950s (also currently on Antenna TV).

My sister is pregnant..... I think I will recommend the name "Clive".

@OldOrrie Some other examples of fine comic TV couples are Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp on "That 70's Show," and Tom Bosley and Marion Ross on "Happy Days," each of these pairs displaying wonderful comedic interplay and chemistry. And if one wants to delve beyond mere comic twosomes, of course there are many classics of American television, from "The Jack Benny Program" and "Leave it to Beaver, to "The Golden Girls" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," all finely produced, well acted and written.

@englishbayman Yes, but it's been many years since I last saw "To Sir With Love," can only really recall Sidney Poitier and Lulu (the latter who sang the hit title tune). So I'll have to make a point of watching that film again sometime, and to look out for "our Hyacinth" in it.

@OldOrrie Of course, "All In The Family" was derived from the British series "Till Death Us Do Part." But with some excellent writing, under the supervision of creator/producer Norman Lear, and a top-notch ensemble of guest and supporting players (many from the New York stage), "All In The Family" became a uniquely American classic in its own right.

@dackelmommy I love "Keeping Up Appearances" too. But there are some excellent TV series' currently in production nonetheless. One is "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO. Another is "Men Of A Certain Age" on TNT. Also. on broadcast TV and in syndication, "Two & A Half Men," "The Big Bang Theory" and "The Middle" have excellent production and writing, each with terrific ensemble acting.

It's bouquet, Richard....

Nooooo, I`ve always thought that as well! She would have been great! But to be fair, the lady who did play her was good too.

❤️❤️❤️

@OldOrrie Actually, you could get a few things like this on American television. The most immediate example that comes to mind is the brilliant pairing of Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton as "Archie & Edith Bunker" on "All In The Family." I think that series is still rerun on the cable TV channel TV Land , and also on the broadcast TV service Antenna TV, if you get that in your area.

I notice this clip is fron 1993. Does anyone know if this 2 are still performing? I love them!

@englishbayman As for "Steptoe & Son," that series has never been broadcast on television in my area. However, I am aware that the American series "Sanford & Son" was loosely based on that series. I never much cared for "Sanford & Son," even though I did enjoy a few of producer Norman Lear's other series', most notably "All in the Family" and "Maude," the former of which was also adapted from a British series, "Till Death Us Do Part."
