Acclaimed comedy writer Roy Clarke has an extraordinary legacy when it comes to popular British sitcoms - creating Last Of The Summer Wine, Open All Hours and the classic comedy that he looks back on here, Keeping Up Appearances - the series that introduced the world to the extraordinary Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced, of course, 'Bouquet').
Roy speaks of the relief he felt when learning that the acting force of nature that is Patricia Routledge had agreed to play the part of Hyacinth, and how having her onboard fed into the character's development over the series. He also celebrates the crucial role played by the supporting cast, explains why the series eventually had to come to an end and shares a personal view of his famous creation - Mrs Bucket may be a nightmare, but Roy really rather likes her.
