Satirical British sitcom Keeping Up Appearances centers around the imposing person of Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge), a snobbish, self-deluded, and tyrannical English matron who pronounces her last name "bouquet." In the third series, Hyacinth's long-suffering husband Richard (Clive Swift) submits unwillingly to early retirement, earning the sympathy of their terrorized neighbors Elizabeth (Josephine Tewson) and Emmett (David Griffin). The show ping-pongs back and forth between Hyacinth's irrepressible social-climbing efforts (she connives to get an invitation to the Royal Garden Party, among other things) and the floundering lives of her lower-class sisters Rose (Mary Millar) and Daisy (Judy Cornwell) and Daisy's slovenly husband Onslow (Geoffrey Hughes), who wallow in laziness and sexual frustration. The show's strength comes from the balance between Routledge--a comic powerhouse, able to blithely steamroll over everyone else in the excellent cast--and the subtle underplaying of Swift. --Bret Fetzer

 Hilarious September 15, 2008
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.
 Love Hyacinth! April 28, 2008

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