The last thing that made you laugh

I must have remembered the name right. That was their names. I loved that scene in one of the episodes where Hyacinth kept panicking over sounds and kept keeping poor ol Richard up "Richard! Was that a noise?!"🤣

I love their name, Bucket. But it's pronounced Bouquet... because Bucket isn't fancy enough for Hyacinth. 😄

I would have never guesses that so many people were even familiar with this show. I thought it was just something my Mama and I watched together and my Daddy would too if home at the time. I don't remember even encountering anyone else talking about it before.🤔

It was on tv in Norway in the 1990s, it was quite popular. My mom loved it and I ended up watching it because she watched it. I have been thinking about buying the DVD box for her, that might be a good idea. 🤔

I saw a DVD box called "Keeping up Appearances: The Full Bouquet" 😄

It was on PBS for many years. A number of excellent BBC shows are aired on PBS. Or used to be, before funding was eliminated by the current government.
 
I was coming up with more "yo mama" jokes to toss online anonymously. I've done this for decades, now. Here's my latest:

Yo mama's mattress has a Yelp page.

I grew up with a lot of British TV and Australia produced a few very successful shows using a similar format. One of our classics was a role reversal of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em called Mother and Son.

I met the star of this show, Ruth Cracknel, in real life and she wasn't very funny at all, quite a hard nosed old woman, but I've found this to be true of most comedians when you meet them in real life.

I always remember the episode where her and Richard are going on a cruise, and the shenanigans that ensue in the process both before and after they finally get on the boat.

The BBC is known and watched worldwide, as well as in English speaking countries.

I think people don't really talk about it because it was aired 30-35 years ago and that was a while ago.

Bit of a shame; I've heard about people who refuse to watch anything beyond a certain point in time for the reason of "Why should I watch that? It's old" - completely ignoring the interesting stories, characters, etc. that they can learn from despite the differences in time and perspective.
 
Watching an out-take with two actors pretending to be Tibetan monks:

Master: "Then, you must reason with the man, and lead him to the path of enlightenment".
Student: "...But Master, what if the man cannot hear reason, and he strikes me?"
Master: "Then...you must...[grins] remember your lines".
