Since discovering Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet) on PBS years ago, I have wanted to own Keeping up Appearances so that I can watch her even when PBS isn't playing the series. No matter how gloomy a day, this silly, over the top woman will make you laugh. Patricia Routledge is a comic genius.

This is British comedy at its best.
The antics of Hyacinth Bouquet and "Dicky" (e.g., when Dicky fixes Elizabeth's "...dinky little car" by pointing at the engine, or when "Richard wants to be a nun too!") must surely be among the funniest moments in British television history. I highly recommend buying the "full bouquet" if you are a fan of British comedy.

Extremely funny. Patricia Routledge, who is Hyacinth, is of course immensely talented and quite capable of carrying a series based on this character alone. However, she's surrounded by a talented cast, and they've all got some mighty fine writing to work with. So now, of course, I have to order more Hyacinth. One DVD is not enough.

We laughed non-stop. The episodes were very funny and the editing was good. We especially enjoyed the outake scenes.
