Synopsis

Patricia Routledge has never been better than in the role of the terribly snobby Mrs. Bucket (pronounced 'Bouquet'!) who goes to any length to maintain the impression that she is of a higher social standing than is actually the case. With her long-suffering husband Richard (Clive Swift) in tow--and her terrible family safely hidden from view--it's never too long before she finds herself in yet another farcical situation. Features every episode from series 5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously Funny, 15 Jan 2007
By S. Williams (County Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
As a fan of Keeping up Appearances, I was bound to like it, but for those of you who have never seen it before, I recommend watching the first series first.
Series 5 has two disks, both with episodes. There are no features unfortunatly, but the disk does include the Christmas Specials. I was very pleased to find that the trip to Denmark on the QEII was on the disk, as it is my favourite episode.
Each episode is about half an hour, with the Christmas specials a little longer.
The DVD is well worth watching and I have no complaints at all.
Overall, it's good, clean comedy. And I love it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Specials, 31 Dec 2006
By R Cunningham (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I've read on the internet that some people are annoyed because the 1993 and 1994 Christmas specials haven't been released. They have...this DVD contains all the episodes from Series 5 and the 1993, 1994 and 1995 Christmas specials. The 1991 Christmas special was released on the Series 3 & 4 DVD.

A quick note about Keeping Up Appearances in general: an excellent sitcom. Patricia Routledge is a fantastic comedy actress and all of the episodes in Series 5 are of a high standard, just as Series 1-4 were. Well worth buying this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding British comedy at its best, 4 Mar 2007
By Gary Rawlings "G" (G) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Hyacinth Bucket, or should I say, "Bouqet", is one of TV's greatest ladies. Patricia Routledge plays the part extremely well, allowing us to enter middle-Britain every time we tune in.

Keeping Up Appearances is truly delightfully written. With a talented cast; each episode unfolds into another problem for Hyacinth and her family. Her estranged son Sheriden, who never appears on screen is her true treasure. She is so proud of him and his achievements but is forever missing the signs that he is doing a drama and arts course and living with another man. Hilarious! Hyacinth's ever so hard efforts to climb the social ladder are so funny. Each and every episode she is trying to better herself and her long-loving and long-suffering husband, Richard.

The essence of the programme is how different from Hyacinth her two sisters are. Rose and Daisy, from the nearby council estate give Hyacinth nothing but grief and embarrassment! From their old Ford Cortina parked on the driveway on bricks, with a dog on the back seat to Rose's new man, Hyacinth is forever worried about what the upper classes will think of her.

Excellent script writing makes the on-screen chemistry between Hyacinth and her family truly remarkable. I love the true British style to this comedy drama. There's a Hyacinth in every village and that's what makes it so funny to watch.

An outstanding programme, with good and very good acting throughout. Well done to all those associated with Keeping Up Appearances!

Good to revisit the days of simpler comedy and laughter. If Hyacinth's behaviour doesn't bring a smile to your face then you are living in dark times! Read more
