Keeping Up Appearances: Series 3 - 4

Award-winning actress Patricia Routledge plays Roy Clarke's comic monster Hyacinth Bucket, a woman who goes to incredible lengths in her quest for refinement.

In Series 3 Hyacinth reveals that one thing she cannot stand is snobbery, people trying to pretend they are superior. As she logically concludes, "That only makes it so much harder for those of us who really are." Meanwhile she determines that Richard needs a hobby and plonks a video camera before him. She admonishes him to go out and "be artistic", an instruction she will soon live to regret.

In Series 4 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. But Hyacinth decides to make another attempt at finding a weekend country home - much to Richard's horror...

Includes all fourteen episodes from Series 3 and Series 4 plus the 1991 Christmas Special. Starring Patricia Routledge, Clive Swift, Josephine Tewson, David Griffin, Geoffrey Hughes, Judy Cornwell and Shirley Stelfox.
