There will never be another program like this.
England has changed irrevocably.
Thank Heavens!!
@@StephenLyons-tl8ie Why? this show is amazing, it's rare to find this quality and humor. Vintage english series are the best, but you may be brainwashed by the popular modern crap made-to-please. It's not modernity that defined quality, it's even the contrary. Thanks heavens, you're not part of people with i would share this serie, because you don't deserve to see something of this quality :D
Need shows like this back again.
A lot of shows like this definitely wouldn't be made nor green lit in the first place. Especially if it doesn't fit with current time period or watching for an audience. And if it were made the people around who made it what it was aren't working or even living today.
Nowadays it’s all criminal stuff
If only, there is no decent comedy anymore. The world has gone too serious.
@@geometria3 Too much true crime and fictional crime. The British were kings of subtle and gentle humour. Unfortunately, this new generation of middle-class producers and executives at the BBC and ITV think they know best by pushing cooking, home decorating, "talent" shows and crime dramas and documentaries.
It might get approved if the characters were of color, trans, and disabled, and the script gave the "proper" perspective of British society. IE always was indigenous coloreds.
Richard was the very definition of saintly patience 😂
What a wonderful treat! I've seen every episode of Keeping up Appearances several times, but I have never seen this short. It was fantastic to see this "new" short episode. Thank you!
Me neither! I was so surprised seeing this. It was like finding a letter from a dear friend who's passed on. Made me happier than I could have imagined
Same here!
Unbelievable that so many comments miss the humour of this Special and the fact it was merely a dream. It is pure Hyacinth.
Patricia is a global treasure
Patricia and the whole cast are an unappreciated work of genius
Not one of these actors are unappreciated. They are celebrated and loved. This is one of the most classic shows to come out of the last century.
Wrong - they are, and were, VERY much appreciated.
They WERE and still ARE appreciated not just in the UK. Believe me.
The bugle coming from coffin had me. 😂😂😂
I know right, I completely lost my shit 😂😂😂😂
"You have to fetch him and bring him here!" 😳 Poor Richard 😂
I always used to watch 'the Bucket woman' at my grandma's on VHS tapes. Classic British comedy which just isn't made anymore. Like many others I've never seen this sketch before, what a treat! 😊
Simply put, I wish they would have made more episodes of this show. It was hysterical from the first word to the last word.
Harold Snoad the producer and director of Keeping Up Appearances said in the 2009 book "It's Bouquet Not Bucket!" Unfortunately Patricia Routledge was "hedging her bets" when the filming external location scenes were completed in early August 1995. Harold Snoad asked if she was interested in producing a sixth series. Patricia Routledge replied she wouldn't be available in 1996 (expect for a Christmas special for 1996) as she was touring the theatre. But she would be available in 1997 and she would think about it. In the end of May 1995 Routledge had just completed the post production on the BBC's television series "Hetty Winthorpe Investiages" in October 1995 the BBC informed Snoad and Roy Clarke (at short noticed) that they wanted a Christmas special of KUP for 1995. In November 1995 after the fifth series of Keeping Up Appearances was broadcast during rehearsals for the 1995 special The Padgent' Snoad again then approached Routledge on the matter of if she had thought more about if she wanted to produce a sixth series of KUP. She replied "she hadn't". For a long while then the cast and crew were 99.9% that this was the last episode of Keeping Up Appearances. Unfortunately it was. The cast and were then for a long while waiting to see what would happen regarding the future of Keeping Up Appearances. But Patricia Routledge knew then when in November 1995 when the BBC commissioned a second series of "Hetty Winthorpe Investigates", that she was done with Hyacinth. With Routledge wanting to focusing on the theatre and other television acting roles.
It’s Hetty Wainthropp, actually.
@@Mary-mr4jr I know unfortunately fast typing can cause inevitable typos!
This is pure comedic entertainment! Incredibly funny and only a near 7 min clip, I wish this had been made into a full episode as a bonus.
I love it when she describes her rooms as attractively compact I think I'll have to start using that one
Top writing, superb acting, great timing..brilliant.
We have a certain podcast to thank (Keeping Up Appearances- The Luxury Podcast) for this episode appearing outside of the private Facebook group.
I’m a fellow listener of said podcast, so I visited the KUA Facebook page and recorded it😊
Never missed an episode. Saw many several times. Thanks to all the actors, writers and producers. So many laughs.
My guilty pleasure 😂😅😊
Thank you so much. I thought I had seen all of the shows, but I had never seen that one. Wonderful.
Stimmt, ich dacht ich sah sie alle.
Wow...that was brilliant. I've never seen it before. Great writing, phenomenal acting....and SO funny. Thank you for posting it.
So glad this special finally turned up. Never understood why it wasn't on the series 5 dvd set.
Thanks for sharing this, I adore Keeping Up Appearances and never knew this existed
This is one of the BEST of the episodes........great to be able to see this one!
I've been wanting to see this for years and nobody seemed to have it so thank you very much for uploading it!
“My love to Onslow…” Wow, she was traumatized by that dream! 🤣
Only seeing this now , aww poor Daddy passing away 😢 always loved this program ❤ at least it was a dream 😊
MY LIFE NEEDED THIS THANK YOU 😊 🙏 🙌
We all need a little hyacinth in our lives.
Amazing! Hadn’t seen this before.
Sheer writing and acting genius…… pure joy🌟👏👌💐
I never knew this existed before today. Thank you SO much!
Never seen this before, was only 12 then though. Used to watch the series with my nan ☺️
What an unexpected treat..! As someone that subscribes to Britbox for the sole reason of being able to watch this wonderful show.. I had no idea that this short had been made.. To the person that posted it.. Thank you so very much! Was wonderful to see the entire cast of KUA back in action!
Such genious....and Patricia's timing is off the charts. I absolutely love Keeping up Apperances. Good clean ginuine comedy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hard to express how good it was to see this scene, which almost felt like a "lost episode" in a way. My partner and I discovered KUA here in The States on PBS (when I was 25) while living in our first apartment together, and fell in love with Hyacinth and the gang instantly. I'm so appreciative that this footage is available to enjoy. I laughed so much at this today that tears started pooling up in my eyes! 😂
Wow ❤️ Seen all the episodes and specials, never knew this existed! Thanks for sharing 👍
The sheets and the wallpaper......OMG.....
I love this show! I found it on PBS in the mid 2000s and quickly became addicted. The entire cast is amazing and the writing is so sharp.
Same here!
I never saw this episode and I have the entire collection.
Here the same.
It was for children in need …
I thought I'd seen every episode and clip of this show. Loved watching it with my dad. This one was new to me, though, and just as funny as ever!!
I read about this short existing but never found any information about it, thank you so much for sharing. Just when you think you've seen every episode...what a treat!
Thanks!!! Never saw this one!
What a treat to see this. I didn't know this ever happened. I can't help but smile right now. 😊
“I must ring the prime minster” - Gets me every time
I remember when I was a kid I'd see this show on YTV here in Canada and I didn't watch it, during Covid I binged the whole series I love it
This English comedy was very popular over
here in Barbados back then...I love how Onslow slaps the TV 😂😂😂

Never seen ot before. Thanks so much for sharing the video
This is brilliant 😂
I loved these shows keeping up appearances, are you being served, love thy neighbour as time goes by .All good ❤
Was this shown after the series has ended? I always found it sad we never got a proper ending
No this aired for Children in Need on November 24, 1995. The final episode The Pageant aired on the 25th of December 1995.
luv them all
Wow i've never seen this before...that was great!! Thanks for sharing ; )
I've been looking for this clip for years!!!! Thank you for uploading!
OMG!! I wish this was still on!!😅😅😅
Never knew this existed; I thought I saw everything involving KUA. Thanks for sharing this. Was this THE final thing ever filmed by them, or would that be the Historical Pageant "Civil War" episode?
I THINK this was made during the studio audience recording of the episode The Hostess. This ends with them in bed and The Hostess starts with them in bed, and they’re wearing exactly the same clothes. There’s a blog called Dirty Feed, where the author has written an article called “The Bucket List”, which explains when each episode was recorded, and he also believes that this and The Hostess were recorded in the same session.
Give my love to Onslow. Providing he's wearing pajamas. Hyacinth emotionally overwhelmed😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Omg I've been looking for this for years thank you so much!!!!!
I love DAME Patricia.
This is brilliant never seen this one before the fact even in death shes worried about the coffin touching her wallpaper 🤣🤣
Like a lot of other people I have seen all the episodes several times but have never seen this. Or don’t remember seeing it at least, I was 11 when it aired.
This show will always be fantastic and remind me of a simpler time. I remember watching the Christmas episodes at my Auntie’s house and feeling safe. Like a lot of the cast, she is no longer here. I think of her always x
Absolutely brilliant
Sometimes Richard it’s ok to say no.
You try saying no... to Hyacinth B-U-C-K-É-T ... 😅
Especially when she's grieving
Never seen this before. Absolutely 💯 brilliant
Brilliant
Awesome
Hyacinth is just too funny! Richard was a saint lol
this is great never seen it before wonder if their is any more unused scripts that could be published
Greatest of great !
A Hyacinth in fool bloom in a pouring rain night with “full moon” 🌕!!!
I have the whole five series on DVD, but this episode doesn’t appear.
Perhaps the “dead” hero ran away and took the episode with him !!!
❤😂❤
😂😂😂can t have daddy in a draft...😅Anslow s expressions are priceless
Great to see this for the first time! Albeit absolutely dreadful but its still great to see!
I agree. I can see what Patricia Routledge meant when she said the writer was beginning to repeat himself towards the end of the show. After seeing this I think I’m glad she chose to end the show on a high rather than drag it out longer.
@@john.premose Yeah absolutely. It's like Last of the Summer Wine and Still Open All Hours (both Roy Clarke). In later years they just got daft and repetitive.
That’s the gem of this comedy. Can laugh at the serious as well as the more mundane things in life.
@@Mary-mr4jr Serious or mundane, it was an awful sketch. I know Patricia wouldn't have been keen on doing these skits.
Absolutely brilliant!
Never seen this one before! 😂
Brilliant show. Patricia Routledge best comic actress ever
Another CZcams channel just posted this video. I've never seen this before and Iv watched some extra material that wasn't in episode.
The perfect acting crew , a wonderfull moment in time.
British humour is the best😁
Hold on, I have watched this series about 3 times but never this clip, because I would’ve remembered it. She had a nightmare about “daddy” passing away…
In my opinion, 4 of the funniest shows ever imported were, Absolutely Fabulous, To the Manor Born, Keeping up Appearances & Mr Bean.😂🤣🤣🤣
Is this episode on the keeping up appearance complete series? Under the bonus disc. I have it but I don't recall seeing this. Thanks
It says it's for Children In Need Special
I know, they have other bonus material for a good cause on the DVD complete series. I love this show
How I delight in her character! But truthfully I would run from a person like this.😅
Brilliant so funny 😅😅🎉🎉
I thought I'd seen them all, the shows/scenes. 😂
Now this is acting, just dialogue, tragic yet humorous in a monologue. No sitcoms like this or sitcoms at all on UK TV anymore.
I've never seen this episode before. Was this an alternative ending episode?
Hyacinth is a gem
Brilliant comedy
They did an episode when they hired a boat on the River Thames in Oxfordshire This was filmef
I’ve seen seen all 44 episodes of KUA and this scene definitely wasn’t in any of them. Was it a Comic Relief special or what?
Yes
❤..😊.
Awe so sad
I never saw this one.
Grwat. Show. . I. Loved. Mrs. Bouquet. She. Made. Me ĹAUGH
2:57 LOL

Patricia was hilarious couldn't stop laughing .don't make em like they used to .and one foot in the grave hilarious.

Was it all just a dream?
Classic show.did not like it in beginning but it's relatable
Classic 🤣🤣
Wow I grew up watching them all and I did not remember “daddy’s dead”
4:46 how very drac
