966 Keeping Up Appearances
First viewed : Uncertain
This popular Roy Clarke social comedy started in the autumn of 1990. I watched the odd episode but I've no idea when they were.
Keeping Up Appearances starred Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket , an arriviste obsessed with social climbing. Clive Swift played her exasperated husband Richard and Geoffrey Hughes, making hi first mark as a comedy actor after Coronation Street, played her embarrassing brother-in-law Onslow. She had an unseen son Sheridan and blindly missed all hints that he was gay. Her attempts at betterment only succeed in making her unpopular.
It was quite funny in small doses but it did seem like a one-joke series.
It ended in 1995 when Routledge declined to do any more and moved on to Hetty Wainthrop Investigates.
