I haven’t seen the show in decades, but as soon as I saw this, I immediately heard “Richaaaard!!!”

Bucket residence, the lady of the house speaking.

It's pronounced booookayyyy.

You know my sister Violet, the one with the Mercedes and room for a pony.

May she enjoy an eternal waterside supper with riparian entertainments.

I am genuinely sad.

As opposed to when Henry Kissinger died: I ordered fries with my burger that day.

It's pronounced Bouquet

That's Mrs Buckét to you!

Man, she reminded me of my aunty so much, she even looked like her and her husband looked like Mr Bucket, it was weird. Such a damn good show, lost a legend today.

the red green show

I loved the Red Green show, and I still do because it's on Youtube!

Bugger. She's kicked the Bouquet.

Love how people outside the UK know and love Keeping up Appearances.

Hyacinth always reminded me of my gran.

[–] RedSnt 2 points 2 weeks ago

Keeping Up Appearances played all the time on Danish TV, that show and 'Allo 'Allo! are probably the best exports from GB from that era.
She will be missed.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Julia, no!

[–] Dimand@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Brilliant show. Great acting. "Mind the sheep Richard"
