Customer Reviews of Keeping Up Appearances - Hyacinth in Full Bloom Set (Vol. 1-4)
Absolutely the Best Patricia Routledge is incredible and wonderful as Hyacinth, and the other case members are superb playing off of her antics. At last four discs with my favorite lady. My favorite episode has to be when Richard is dressed as Santa Claus with a case of mistaken identity. And I loved Ms. Routledge's Kitty monologues (good extra) on Disc 4.
Many thanks to the BBC for finally starting to release this series on DVD in complete seasons rather than odd shows on the video series. Now, when are the next seasons coming?? Please do not piecemeal this - we may all be dead by the time they are released!
The only complaint that I have is that there was only 3 minutes of bloopers on Disc 1, Disc 2 and Disc 3. The Absolutely Fabulous set has 15 minutes on each disc. I laughed almost as much watching Ms. Routledge trying to get her story correct - best line by Geoffrey Hughes "Your Hyacinth on the phone is better than Hyacinth in bed"!
That Bucket Woman!!!!!
I have been waiting for this dvd set for a long time. This is one of my all time favorite "britcoms" (another being the delightful "Are You Being Served?) This 4 disc box set contains all the episodes from the first two seasons of "Keeping Up Appearances" plus some special episodes, such as the Christmas episode, that haven't been released in the United States. One of my favorite episodes "Three piece Suite" is included---as Hyacinth obsesses over the royal crest on the van bringing her new three piece suite and her desire for her neighbors to see her important new delivery. All of these episodes, however, are brillant. All the wonderful characters are there---Hyacinth's long suffering husband, Richard; Emmet and Elizabeth, her neighbors; Onslow, Daisy, and Rose---her brother-in-law and sisters and many more. If you haven't watched this comedy about a British housewife who brings social snobbery to a whole new level, then do yourself a favor and buy this dvd set. You'll laugh till you cry!!!! I hope they release the later seasons as well!
THIS SERIES HAS CLASSIC WRITTEN ALL OVER IT
I now own the entire series on DVD, I love it that much. This is a classic in the style of "I Love Lucy," except that it happens to be placed in England. It's not fair to say that there is a lot of "British humor" involved here. The series revolves around a frequently universal ambition for one to rise his or her "station" in life. Just like Lucy always tried to get in Ricky's show, Hyacinth, the central character here, tries to get close to "important" business people or to rub elbows with members of the aristocracy, to make herself appear important. The series is extremely well written and performed. Great ensemble cast led by the inimitable Patricia Routledge. Ms. Routledge is an excellent physical comedian, which adds to the hilarity in each episode. If you've never witnessed Hyacinth Bucket and company you are missing out! Good job on the audio and video transfers, and the extras are a treat.
