Keeping Up Appearances
The Full Bouquet
Created by Roy Clarke
On BBC One
A brisk, character-driven sitcom built on the comic collision between a social climber's pretensions and her humiliating family circumstances, sustained across 40 episodes of reliable, rewatchable embarrassment.
A snobbish housewife is determined to climb the social ladder, in spite of her family's working class connections and the constant chagrin of her long suffering husband.
