Keeping Up Appearances (2x5)

Data emisji: Lip 26, 2004

Mapping the careers of the people who made Keeping Up Appearances sees them come together from shows as diverse as That Was the Week We Watched, The Dick Emery Show, Last of the Summer Wine, Victoria Wood - As Seen on TV and Ever Decreasing Circles. Interviews with the cast and crew reveal how writer Roy Clarke created a world that revolved around Hyacinth Bucket, where the inspiration for her surname came from, and exactly why the show ended when practically everyone wanted it to keep on going. Hyacinth is now sold around the world and finds that, perhaps surprisingly, she's big in Botswana. Narrated by Julia Sawalha, interviewees include writer Roy Clarke, producer Harold Snoad and cast members Clive Swift, Patricia Routledge, Josephine Tewson, David Griffin and Judy Cornwall.
