yeah that chick who played rose did die of cancer. i'm ashamed to admit that i did listen to the phantom of the opera soundtrack as a kid and the lady who played rose was also a main character on the album.

i had heard ms. routledge is an out and about actress, although she has great rapport with her tv husband, richard. she has won quite a few accolades for her acting skills in the UK.

lol and what about her son who 'lives' with a guy.... 'oh very sensible'

lol when she buys an alarm for her china

muahahah

that programme kicked ass :)

loved her character :D

and her wacky family

Hyacinth should be given an OBE or whatever that honor is that the Queen gives out, you know when she slaps them on the shoulder with a sword.

You mean she must be entitled as a Dame? That would be great!

My user name was inspired by another hot slut on this show, Hyacinth's sister Daisy. My little little picture is a picture of her. Rose was a hot slut too.

Oh I love Hyacinth and her Royal Doulton china with the hand-painted periwinkles! (Rich-ard!)

I' glad the US never did try to copy it, they just would have screwed it up. Remember "Coupling"? Just my point. the NBC version was so bad it only lasted three shows. However, they did do "The Office" pretty well.

Thank god they can't copy "Little Britain"!

The best show ever. Too bad the US never cloned this one.

That was a great show, I don't watch it often, though. My friend loves it, watches that and a few other Brit sitcoms.

The Daisy character reminds me of me....only difference is that I'm a neat freak about the house, but I'm happy in rags, as long as I have a good book.

I love this woman. Absolutely adore her! I keep watching all the old "Keeping Up Appearances" shows on YouTube. She's my fav one - second in line is her slutty sister Rose. Rose reminds me of....well, me!

================================================
"Oh, really? Did she like it?"
"I just love being a whore - you meet the most fascinating paint salesmen and curtain-rod manufacturers!"

She is my favorite. Someone told me she is datting a young billlionaire on """"""C e l e b C u p i d.c o m"""""""". What kind of relationship she is looking for on that site? Long-term relationship or just a date?

P.S. My favorite character was the Major.

I loved Keeping Up Appearances. I wish she had stayed with the show instead of going off to do live theater. The rest of them didn't want to quit, but they had to because the star left. :(

ROSE was her name.

She likes disco and tastes like a tear

Love that shit! I loved it when her hot slut sister would come around, trying to get a piece of the vicar! Hotness

I love the show, not many people like it for some odd reason, but I think it's brilliantly funny. ESP, Hyacinth...!

Your face!

"Oh I just looooooooooooove this show!

I watched it on PBS last night! I also love "Are you being Served" and "Waiting for God"

I'm not a big fan of brit comedy but these shows have won my heart"
--------------

I agree, Talibah! I watch Hyacinth every Saturday night.

But don't forget "As Time Goes By" and "Vicar of Dibley". I also miss "Absolutely Fabulous" but I have scads of them on DVD and VHS.

These Britcoms are fantastic; I just wish there was one that starred Penelope Keith that I could stomach.

Oh my God! Hyacinth! Everyone on that show is a hot slut, but no one does it like Hyacinth. And 2nd place has to go to Sheridan. You know the reason he was never seen HAD to be because he was gay!Hyacinth kept him at distance because he and Emmet would have hooked it up.

"Patricia Routeledge is FUNNY, as was the whole show. But was never explained was- why did everybody put up with Hyacinth? Nobody ever told her off about her silly pretensions."

There wouldn't be much of a show left if everyone told her to shut the fuck up.

++++++++++++++++

I know a lady like this now. She fakes a british accent with her well to do friends although she grew up in the hood. She also has another group of friends from Nigera and fakes a "upper class" Nigeran accent with them as well. She doesn't make a lot of money but buys old but big name clothing from goodwill but claims she bought it from Nordstroms. I could tell her off but that wouldn't change anything.

On another note..I love this show.

Sincerely,
Alana Smithee

I love Hyacinth, but Hetty Wainthropp was a hot slut too!

Speaking as a person who lived with this lady: There is just no telling her anything! I'm pretty sure they did TRY several times on the show but she is a master of misinterpretation.

Also the lady who played her sister 'Daisy' was Mrs. Claus in the movie where Dudley Moore was an Elf. Classic movie.

hahaha oh man...I LOVE THIS SHOW! I use to watch it late night all the time..

favorite episode is where she takes a Bentley on a 'extended' test drive to a country club, to show up a 'friend' with a Jaguar, only to have the police surround the car...

(something like that, I haven't seen this show since I was like 15..)

God be with you, dumbass.

YESSSSSSSS! I love this show and own all the episodes on DVD. I also have Hyacinth Bucket's book of etiquette. -And, don't forget it's pronounced "bouquet" not bucket *snicker*. -But, all of the sisters had flower names so of course Hyacinth wanted to have the last name bouquet. lol I'm so glad I'm not the only dlist fan of this goofy show.

I loved that show so much, I named my dog Sheridan!

Definite hot slut of the year potential.

MK, even though the man who played him has passed away, I think Mr. Humphries from Are You Being Served? would be a perfect HSOTD! I love that character to bits!

I'm gonna drink tea with my pinky up.

Oh no! It's that Bucket woman!

tbabybuffyfan's picture

this is awesome! my grandma and I would always love this show, this lady is a hilarious nutcase. It still kills me that she pronounces Bucket 'Bouquet'. I wish I could be that much of a tard in life!

"Love this show, as do many folks over the age 60. Hyacinth has sisters named Daisy (the slut), Rose (who is married to Oslo and lives with him and dotty father), and a sister Violet, who is well off and we never see. She also has a gay son named Sheridan'

Bjork - Actually, Daisy was married to Onslow. Rose was the one with a gazillion "gentlemen friends" :-)

Part of the joke with that show is that each sister had a personality to match their names:
Daisy - Common, but down to earth
Rose - All about being showy and needing attention
Violet - tempermental, difficult (wasn't seen often but always fighting with her husband at their home "with the swimming pool in the backyard and a pony")
Hyacinth - fussy, old-ladyish

Anyway great choice.

On a sad note - the actress who played Rose (not the original one but the one who was on the show for a long time - the second - better Rose) died of cancer about 10 years ago.

Oh, and don't forget Violet, she drives a Mercedes, you know.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Ah, yes, Violet.
She's the one with the Mercedes, swimming pool, and room for a pony.
(Oh, and her cross-dressing husband, Bruce.)

Lol I love this show! When I was a little girl, a Saturday night with the Britcoms on PBS was my idea of a good time. =)
