1 A Job for Richard

Hyacinth has decided that Richard will gain a high executive position with a local firm that has developed a vacancy in their ranks. Richard fancies neither the prospect of the job nor the plan Hyacinth has evolved for him meeting The Big Boss.
2 Country Retreat
9/12/93
Hyacinth has volunteered to escort a retired Commodore from the train station to the Ladies' Luncheon. She believes she will have just what it takes to ingratiate herself with such an old sea dog.
3 A Celebrity for the Barbecue
9/19/93

4 The Commodore
9/26/93
Hyacinth is determined to buy a cottage in the country as a weekend retreat. Needless to say, her idea of what is suitable matches neither Richard's wishes nor his wallet. Luckily an amorous farmer makes her realise that country life is not as idyllic as she thought.
5 Looking at Properties
10/3/93
Much to Richard's horror, Hyacinth decides to make another attempt at finding a weekend country home. When a sudden problem involving Daddy demands Richard's attention, Hyacinth asks Elizabeth to help her find a suitable property.
6 Please Mind Your Head
10/10/93
Hyacinth and Richard are spending their first day in their new country retreat. It may be a grand address, but the accommodation they have secured for themselves is not so much small as microscopic.
7 Let There Be Light
10/17/93
Hyacinth decides to host an indoor-outdoor barbecue and insists that Richard invites CP Benedict, a nodding acquaintance who has appeared on a television gardening show. Meanwhile, she stocks up on greenery and turns her house into a jungle.
8 Sea Fever
12/26/93
Hyacinth and Richard take to the high seas aboard the luxury liner QE2. A little luxury amid like-minded, socially acceptable people - Hyacinth's dream come true - almost!
9 Angel Gabriel Blue
12/25/94
Hyacinth has been very busy planning a new kitchen (a process which includes asking the Vicar whether a worktop colour described as 'Angel Gabriel Blue' is accurate). She becomes busier still when Daisy tells her that someone has been found in Daddy's bed - and it isn't Daddy!

I truly love Keeping Up Appearances, I could watch it all day Hyincinth is so funny, the whole cast really, it should come on more than once a day . I watch a lot of TV and Patricia Routledge to me is one of the most funniest woman in the world on TV , I set my alarm to 2:30pm I'm a big fan of the show and would love to see Ms Patricia Routledge in more comedy and movie's she's a natural, so to whom ever gave her that part no one else would've worked, I'm trying to find a way to buy all season.

I'm 33 and American. I grew up watching this show! I developed a great appreciation for British humor at an early age. Hilarious! And don't forget Mr.Bean!
