Now then Clint some tasty snippets of a very highly related UK TV comedy show, from the recent past to help your mood at poopy pants antics. I don't know if you ever saw any on πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ PBS of (Dame) Patricia Rutledge as Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearance. Her character portrays her as upper middle class trying to rise above a lower class family background. Her surname is translated into Hyacinth Bouquet, not Bucket. She strives to be better than everyone else (and dare I say it, a Karen) and of course she always comes unstuck. Her unseen son Sheridan and his flat mate Tarquin feature in a lot of phone conversations, without Hyacinth realising they are more than friends but it's never hinted at as 🌈 Hyacinth is noted for holding her Candle Light supper events. So, Clint I hope you enjoy the taster 😎😁 Cheers DougT πŸ‡«πŸ‡΄ πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

It’s been years since I’ve seen the show, but what a fun refresher course. PBS definitely played this in my area when I was growing up. My dad was a fan of British comedy, so we watched it regularly. And he explained most of the β€œadult stuff” for me. My mom was a bit of Hyacinth. lol

Her husband (Richard?) was continually amazed at how she completely failed to clue in despite getting verbally slapped upside the head with every phone call. His facial expressions were sometimes like its own story line, lol.
