Comedy Classics: Keeping Up Appearances

Keeping Up Appearances remains one of Britain's best loved series. Running for 5 years throughout the 90s, millions of viewers tuned in to watch the delightfully monstrous Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) as she attempted to climb the social ladder, only to be endlessly let down by her family.

In this 90-minute celebration we feature the very best and most hilarious moments from the series, and cast, crew and celebrity fans pay tribute to the show and share backstage secrets. Featuring an exclusive interview with Dame Patricia Routledge, who shares her memories of the show, we learn how she came to be cast, how she developed the character, and what happened when the cameras stop rolling.

Supporting cast members Judy Cornwell (Daisy), Jeremy Gittens (the vicar) and David Jansen (postman) also share their stories. We learn how the stunts were performed, how they filmed the iconic Christmas special on the QE2 and hear how the cast got along in real life.

The cast and crew have shared precious never before seen behind the scenes photos and bloopers. We also learn that Keeping Up Appearances had a host of high profile fans, including HM the Queen Mother - who shared a milliner with Hyacinth, and rumour has it that even the Pope nailed a Hyacinth impression.
