    THIS SERIES HAS CLASSIC WRITTEN ALL OVER  IT
  

*by V***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2004*

I love this show so much that I purchased the entire series on DVD.  You can now purchase KEEPING UP APPEARANCES: THE FULL BOUQUET, a set of 8 DVDs which feature most of the 44 episodes, all produced between 1990-1995, and including 2 hour-long specials.This is a CLASSIC in the style of "I Love Lucy," except that it happens to be set somewhere is suburban England. There's precious little here of what one might call "British humor."  Rather, the series revolves around the central character's ambition and desire to rise above her "station" in life...or to appear to do that. Universally, we can all relate to that.  Just like Lucy always tried to get in Ricky's show, here Hyacinth tries to get close to---and especially to be SEEN near or next to---"important" business people or members of the aristocracy, to make herself appear important and special.Most of the time things don't work out as she plans, and Hyacinth is frequently embarassed by her working class relatives [brilliantly played by Geoffrey Hughes, Judy Cornwell and Mary Millar], who regularly, usually accidentally,  show up where she doesn't want them.  [I say "working class," though none seems to actually work for a living.]  Hyacinth's father, who is senile, horny, but harmless, also lives with the relatives, and his misadventures often figure into the storyline, and are further cause for embarrassment for Hyacinth.  Clive Swift effectively plays Hyacinth's long-suffering husband [up for sainthood?], and Josephine Tewson is wonderful as the patient, kindly, and sometimes unsteady-with-fine-china next-door neighbor.To the people who know her, even casually, Hyacinth is a terror or extreme bore/boor, and someone to be avoided, at all costs. There are many scenes throughout the various episodes where you see people scrambling as Hyacinth is heard approaching.  Hyacinth's speech is somewhat of a trademark; it often approaches operatic proportions, and is sometimes quite purposefully affected and always unmistakeable.The series is very well written and performed. Great ensemble cast led by the inimitable Patricia Routledge.Ms. Routledge is an excellent physical comedian, also, which adds to the hilarity.  In one episode, for example, as Hyacinth's patient and dutiful next-door neighbor, Elizabeth, is driving her to see her aging and senile father, who lives with her lower-class sister and brother-in-law in a ghetto-ized neighborhood [full of "council" houses"], Hyacinth goes to extreme lengths to prevent Elizabeth from seeing where her relatives live.  She has Elizabeth stop in front of a beautiful home in an unpscale area, then, pretending that it is her relatives' house, proceeds to climb over the back garden wall, after which she walks a few more blocks to her sister's house. This whole scenario, back and forth to Elizabeth's car is side-splittingly funny.There is even a KEEPING UP APPEARANCES episode where Hyacinth has her own VITAMEATAVEGAMIN moment: try saying "the dowager Lady Ursula's homemade gooseberry wine" after you have over-indulged in same, while being quite inexperienced at drinking alcohol.  Laugh-out-loud hilarious!MS. ROUTLEDGE HERE HAS CREATED ONE OF THE GREATEST CHARACTERS IN ALL OF TELEVISION COMEDY!Truly, if you've never witnessed Hyacinth Bucket and company, you are missing out on some great comedy! Treat yourself, and catch it on your PBS station.  Afterwards, you just may want to own some of these episodes, or even the whole series.Now, a note on to the technical merits of the DVDs:good job on the audio and video transfers, and the extras are a treat.  I especially enjoy the bloopers.MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Patricia Routledge is a comic genius. Her portrayal of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'Bouquet', of course) makes for the single best characterization to come out of a British comedy in the last decade. The series is impeccably written and acted with Hyacinth stealing the scene whenever she is in frame. The other characters are similarly well developed, from longsuffering husband Richard (Clive Swift), to her sisters Daisy (and her husband Onslow, portrayed to perfection by Geoffrey Hughes as an unemployed, lazy slacker who reads things like 'Principles of Particle Physics' in bed), and the always randy Rose (as well as the rarely seen third sister, Violet, the one with a Mercedes, a sauna, and room for a pony), to the neighbors Elizabeth and Emmet ("She'll sing at me!") and even the recurring bit players such as the postman the vicar and his wife. Altogether the ensemble cast supports Hyacinth so perfectly that the show has unrivalled chemistry and timing.The four disk set contains the famous and hilarious "QE2" episodes, and the "Three Piece Suite" episode, which for absolute hilarity is impossible to top (watching Hyacinth with the traffic cones and the 'Imminent Delivery' sign is sublime.) Also on the disks are several extras, of which my favorites are the outtakes: seeing Hyacinth break character and actually laugh at the funny situations is a delight indeed.For anyone who likes British comedies, or likes subtle, yet highbrow, humor in equal measure, this set is an absolute treasure trove and is not to be missed. Highly recommended.
