Oh I missed it!! I love the programme and we find ourselves quoting them often!

I laughed from beginning to end. Wonderful humour and no effing or blinding 👍

My mother was a great fan, she never realised how like Hyacinth she was! I always loved Onslow and Daisy, they seemed the archetypal British married couple. Daisy always trying to turn him into one of her Mills and Boon heroes and Onslow just wanting to be left with his television.

One of DH’s friends used to call me Hyacinth, he never worked out that the reason I was so aloof around him was due to my intense dislike of him and his ways

I enjoy Keeping Up Appearances and if I am at loose end and I find it on the TV I watch, always end up laughing.

Apparently, it's very popular in Hungary!

The programme last night had me in stitches and I could not believe Patricia Routledge is 93!

Patricia Routledge is magnificent in it.
It’s so unusual (especially 30 years ago) to see a middle aged woman doing such physical comedy.
Quite brave really

One of my favourite programmes that I watch over and over again. I really enjoyed the programme last night it was very interesting.

Probably one of my favourite programmes. It can reduce me to tears. I love Patricia Routledge's portrayal. I had an aunt like that.

The late Pope Benedict was a fan!
I heard that yesterday.
He used to copy her telephone manner apparently

channel 5 8.30 to 10.30 something light to watch... how cast was chosen and how made.
