its a good thing that we havent got smell-o-vision when watching last of the summers wine as you know full well the cast would smell of humbugs, worthers originals and cabbage. Also if its 'Last' of the summers wine how come its been going on longer than i have been alive? - how bloomin old is Peter Sallis..( say he was 60 when he started he is 90 now!) he seems to have made a deal with the devil, or could be a Highlander Immortal or made of clay like his Ardman counterpart Wallis.

Peter Sallis, hell yeah! And YES, Keeping Up Appearances deserves to be redeemed. And no, you wouldn't see AICN doing this feature. That's why this website rocks.

Keeping Up Appearances deserves punishment, not redemption. What next? Birds of a bloody Feather?!

Birds of a Feather was....alright, from memory, although I haven't seen it since being a kid. It was in Essex, which is always a good starting point.

The stars of Birds of a should be tarred and feathered and the writers of the show strung up by internal bits as NEVER EVER in the history of TV has there been such a sad mudane, tedious, unfunny and downright utter crap show waste of licence fee money broadcast on our tellys. Two fat Cockery slags and a woman who looked liked Alice Cooper was not a show but rather a few seried of 30 minute pain inducing torture that the most vilest of Nazis, bad buys or evil villians would never indure on their worst enemies. The show, and all of the people who worked on it should be jettisoned into space, never to return to once again enforce there comedy filth on the viewing public.

Bollocks.

Sorry, I mean the program. Actually, your defence of the show is far funnier and better written than the show itself. Norman Wisdom isn't dead though, is he?

I like "Keeping Up Appearances." They show it on public television over here.

Keeping Up Appearances was bad beyond belief I cannot believe that the BBC insists in constantly repeating this drivel

keeping up appearances should be put into room 101 along with all the other BBC Shit-coms we have to put up with such as the immensly unfunny 'Not Going Out' or that one with Nick Lyndhurst in, or Dinnerladies or My Family now that Chris Marshall has left

Ahh, you've got to love Nora Batty and those sexy stockings!! LOL. I also love Keeping Up Appearances, in fact, most of the old comedies, Only Fools and Horses, Goodnight Sweetheart etc... call me what you like, but if it can make me laugh when I've seen it a dozen times, it's a classic!
