Favorite Episode....

I don't really have a favorite episode, but my favorite scene was where Onslow and Richard ended up outside the church, singing with the choir. They were both in tune and knew the hymn. It kind of warmed the cockles of my heart, Then Daisy showed up on a motorcycle with a toy boy borrowed from Rose, trying to get Onslow's attention.

I found the Major rather sleazy and whilst I enjoy the episodes I'm glad they dropped that character. I'm pretty sure that Roy Clarke didn't give titles to any of the episodes I think they were just added on retrospectively. This may explain the different names.

I get a kick out of Peter Cellier, I have ever since 'Yes Prime Minister'. There is something about his smile, perhaps mischievous, that makes him shine. I don't know about sleazy, he acted like a Howard on steroids, but with a far less willing subject of his attention. The only two episodes I remember were one where he invited Hyacinth into his conservatory to give her some blooms before the dreaded candlelight supper, and another where Hyacinth Bouquet and Richard Bucket were staying in a hotel where a golf game had been prearranged, but instead Hyacinth ended up in the Major's little roadster. There was a bit of a tussle in the roadster and Hyacinth ended up a bit disheveled, but really no worse for the wear.

I believe Peter Cellier is still with us in his mid 90s!

I noticed that Roy Clarke recycled the knee jerking leg slapping phenomena of the Major's, to Hobbo in 'How not to Cry at Weddings'.
 
My favorites are the ones mentioned already, such as The Rolls Royce, Riverside Picnic, and Hyacinth Tees Off.

Also, I love the one with the church hall explosion and Daddy coming to the rescue.

For me, Richard is even funnier than Hyacinth. Her putting Richard into difficult and uncomfortable situations is the funniest angle of the show. "Oh, Look, a blackbird!" The episode that really shows this is the one with the moored boat, and Richard having to be used as a human walkway! :D
 
There is so many brilliant episode another one I love is Hyacinth Is Alarmed when Richard buys her a burglar alarm for their anniversary and she wants it to make the same sound as the horn on the QE2 :D :D :D

Absolutely. As well as the episode where the 2 big guys were at Hyacinth and Richard's doorstep fighting over Rose. As well as the holiday brochures and Richard's skis!

Barry,

How good is that book because when you mentioned it I had a look online and the prices are just obscene Amazon used and new £94 - £119 :eek: just unbelievable and prices on other outlets who have a copy are similar .

It's an interesting read if you're a die hard fan of KUA like me, but if not it's probably not worth that sort of outlay. Also you can feel the pure vitriol Harold had for Roy Clarke in reading it as it's barely disguised.

If I hadn't already promised my copy to a fellow member of this forum I'd have happily sent you my copy CC. I've mentioned it before but the podcast Keeping Up Appearances The Luxury Podcast which is basically a companion guide to each episode has the synopsis from Harolds book read out on each episode.
 
What a kind gesture even though you have promised it to someone else thank you anyway. I looked up the podcast on Spotify added it to my library and about to start listening , thank you for the reminder about it .
 
Oh Barry , I've started listening but its going to be tough because boy are the two guys presenting it annoying . I almost binned it but I will persist in the hope it gets better .
 
They are definitely an acquired taste, they get rather boisterous and silly as time goes on. However I think that probably suits their younger demographic which I suppose is good as it brings a much younger audience to KUA. The Podcasts gets a significant number of listeners and I think this is the only reason the BBC have left all the episodes on the iPlayer. If you only want to listen to a few you may wish to just listen to the actor interviews as they're less inane and offer some useful insights. They've interviewed, the actors who've played Daisy, The Vicar, The Vicars wife, The Postman & The Milkman.
