Description:
The fourth series of much-loved British sitcom Keeping Up Appearances follows the further schemes of the ever-pretentious Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge), who instructs--make that commands--everyone to pronounce her last name "bouquet." Her piercing, trilling voice precedes her on all occasions, sending everyone who knows her running for cover, particularly her increasingly anxious neighbors Elizabeth (Josephine Tewson) and Emmett (David Griffin). Only her patient and weary husband Richard (Clive Swift) manages, somehow, to endure her with some kind of dignity and even good cheer as Hyacinth tries to wangle a new executive position for him or connives to invite a minor celebrity to a party, thus one-upping the neighbors. Meanwhile, Hyacinth's slothful, indolent sisters and brother-in-law (the exquisitely lower-class Judy Cornwell, Mary Millar, and Geoffrey Hughes) grapple with jealousy, lust, laziness, and their addled father, who keeps regressing to his days in the war. --Bret Fetzer
