Anywho I nearly died laughing at last week's episode where Hyacinth says "If there's one thing I can't stand, it's snobbery and one-upmanship. People who think they're superior to everyone else. Makes things so much harder for those of us who actually are."




Those BBC sit-coms are my guilty pleasure that I watch while my boyfriend is not home. He seems to think they are only for old people.
I ADORE that show! My favorite epsisode title is: My Family in Broad Daylight!

My husband and I joke about Hyacinth and Richard--he watches the videos with me, and claims I am somewhat (!) like Mrs. Bucket...I especially like the Violet/Bruce phone calls!

I read that, in the older episodes, they were too broke to buy her wigs, so they actually died Molly Sugden's hair those colors!

Anyone want to come to a "Candlelight Supper"
Yes, thank you, and I will remember to remove my shoes before walking on your lacquered woodblock, and will remember not to rub up against your wallpaper...


I must go; the phone is ringing; it may be someone important 9such as Her Majesty)!

I hate to be a party pooper, but I can not stand that show.
I want to take "the Bucket Woman" and slap the crap out of her...she drives me insane

Thankfully our PBS station doesn't run it any more.
BUT, I LOVE Are you being Served?
"I'm Free"


My all time favorite is "Last of the Summer Wine".
For those of you who know what that is, I love Cleggy, but my favorite will always be Compo.
Last week they re-ran the three episodes that deal with Compo's death.
Even though I've seen them 6 or 7 times I was still in tears.
