This is a true actress of class and merit. She understands her craft, she acknowledges the talent of her co-stars, she studied the greats, she makes the character hers and, most of all, she knows her audience. As an actor you have to understand what your audience wants. Unlike today where "actors" who just do it for the fame and money. She is dearly missed.
such an intelligent woman and what a wonderful actress. Keeping up Appearances is one of my all time favorites. What a lovely cast of people in that series!
God bless you Patricia Rouledge, you made me laugh so much watching you in Keeping up Appearances, with the rest of the wonderful cast, I enjoyed so much that I am for ever thankful to you.
Such an awesome talent! Keeping Up Appearance still makes me laugh each and every time I watch it. Patricia Routledge is classic in all of the characters that I have seen her play.
Patricia Routledge was fabulous and funny as Hyacinth. But she has a wonderful voice. I saw and heard her sing Climb Every Mountain. What a surprise to me. She has the best female singing voice I have ever heard. Hear her sing in RUclips.
I could listen to her and watch her talk 24 hours a day. Such a special and personable woman, not to mention hilarious, although she is good at more dramatic material as well.
Love it. She is so right about the "structure" of comedy. Her philosophy of comedy is very Aristotelian, and absolutely owes to its success, I think. Wish we had more like her.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,
In addition to that, she seems to have a complete intellectual grasp of what she and the others were doing. She speaks like a scientist, describing her own character snd work. She seriously understands how this stuff works, and why it was so successful. Amazing.
She could have played a 4th sister of Hyacinth - and really got away with it - as a believable different character - far more so than Arthur Lowe's effort of playing Mainwearing's brother.

met her outside waitrose in belgravia and i could not help but say "come along richard" and to my suprise she smiled at me and said thank you darling and got into a mercedes/driven i will always remember that x in 2011
I love you Patricia...I always watch KUA rerun episodes every night to relax me before bed. What a great actress and rare talent...THE BRITS HAVE NEVER FAILED THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT....NEVER.!!!
I never see before a so wonderful serie... Every year I watch and regard all the episodes of the TV series. I never tired of watching you...your episodes... and I laugh every time ...tanks you to exist ...
I watched all of Keeping Up Appearances on Netflix. I wish they made more episodes. Patricia is a truly genuine actress and I will always adore her work. My friends would sort of joke with me because I am in my 20s and would watch this show haha.
ohmywrd There is no dispute about that. She has been on the stage since a young woman... I saw her in The Importance of Being Earnest in the West End as his infamous aunt.
one of the most brilliant performances, and great intelligence, language mastery and character study behind it. Bravo, bravo Dame Patricia, and thank you for the delicious laughs.
Patricia is hands-down a great comedic actress and a class act all the way. Nobody could play Hyacinth Bucket quite like she did. She gave that iconic character a life all its own. How Roy Clarke was able to juggle this show along with Last Of The Summer Wine at the same time was quite amazing. It's a testament to what a great comedy writer he was by creating such timeless characters.
What a fantastic actress she was/is, mainly know her from Keeping up Appearances, absolutely loved that show. I really enjoyed the way how she describes the characters and the show, very intelligent woman. You can see glimpses of Hyacinth in her voice and facial expressions too😁👍🏻

That scene Hyacinth and Richard driving in the car and going round and round through the gasstation. It was hilarious, I couldn’t stop laughing each time I saw that scene.
If you've never heard Routledge as "Little Mary Sunshine" for when I first discovered her, Original London cast, never realized until years after I had been in that musical in college and then seeing her on KUA. She had such a strong soprano voice and She was just so funny. Idol across all scope of performance. I just love her.
She played Hyacinth so well, that I got really mad at her sometimes. But I laughed hard at some of her antics. This was very nice to hear this interview.

Never get tired of watching the repeats. Never fail to raise a smile or a giggle. Such gems. At least the show never ran it's course like some do. It ended on a high and left us wanting more. No you can't beat classics such as this. No swearing, aggression or vulgarity just good clean fun

What is dumb-founding, is that today, there are very talented writers, but they are limited in the choice of subjects. The days of excellent/funny non-PC sitcoms (such as this) are long gone.
Patricia is still going strong at 93. There's several utube videos of her as recently as a year ago of her singing and carrying on like a much younger woman. Listening to her explain all the specific, kind of psychological things that make a good comedy to the audience is fascinating. Who'd thought it was so deep?
Because DAME Patricia wanted TO leave THE role OF hyacinth ON a high AND focus more ON theater stage work As DAME Patricia was IN HER 60s by that time! She's 91 years young know
@@levimacdonald5188 Yes she wanted to move onto Hetty Wainthropp which was another good show. She didn't just want to be remembered for playing Hyacinth but she will always be Hyacinth to us 💕
My father who was not of comedy persuasion laughed heartily at the escapades of Hyacinth during his last few years on this Earth before he departed to Heaven
Hyacinth's counterpart in the United States would be a 60ish year old Southern Belle wanna be that resided in Columbus, MS, living amongst, but not in the numerous antebellum homes. Each spring would be the highlight of her year when the pilgramage (touring of the historical antebellum homes) was taking place for a month. She and her husband would be members of the First Baptist Church of Columbus. She would also be a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Her husband Richard would be retired from the local bank thats board memebers are the bluebloods of the town. He would try and sneak off with friends to enjoy some Old Charter Bourbon, because Hyacinth would not condone such behavior. ------ I really wish there could be an American version of this show?
The show revolved around Hyacinth, in my humble opinion, and all of the other characters were just support, for her---never cared too much for Onslow, or Daisy, did not find either one to be that humorous. Hyacinth carried the show.
i do think Pat Routledge is a little bit like Hyacinth, but not as extreme. Pat can talk honestly unlike Hyacinth but there is a little bit of Hyacinth in her.
The name of the show is 'Keeping Up Appearances' made in England in the early 1990's. Very popular comedy show around the world. In Canada and the USA it is still on PBS stations and in Canada also VisionTV.

Every word she says is like a blessing from heaven. Her lucidity and elegance are beyond comparison.

Her voice is so soothing. Could listen to it all day
God bless you Patricia Rouledge, you made me laugh so much watching you in Keeping up Appearances, with the rest of the wonderful cast, I enjoyed so much that I am for ever thankful to you.
With a beautiful voice, both in speech and in song, a true British treasure!
Such a beautiful and distinctive actress, she is so very deserving of her recent DBE appointment. Congratulations.
Great interview
With DAME Patricia Routedge

Hyacinth and Daisy 👒📖❤💕
Both speak beautiful the English-language
Patricia is the definition of class.
She's a DAME as of 2017

Patricia Routledge is alive and well at 85. Such a talent and still receives fan mail from the early 1990's hit comedy 'Keeping Up Appearances'.

Miss Routledge, she has never married.

Ironically, Patricia had all the class and poise that the character of Hyacinth had pretensions of having
Yes, that is really true.

True
She could have played a 4th sister of Hyacinth - and really got away with it - as a believable different character - far more so than Arthur Lowe's effort of playing Mainwearing's brother.
And three times the singing voice

What is dumb-founding, is that today, there are very talented writers, but they are limited in the choice of subjects. The days of excellent/funny non-PC sitcoms (such as this) are long gone.
Lovely! Her performances in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads are flawless. Nobody else can touch her in these. Brilliant timing!
Love the show
BRILLIANT
I saw you in The Importance of Being Earnest in the West End quite a while back. Wonderful!
My favorite characters, even above Hyacinth, were Onslow and Daisy. Next favorite was Richard. Third was the Vicar.
Patricia is still going strong at 93. There's several utube videos of her as recently as a year ago of her singing and carrying on like a much younger woman. Listening to her explain all the specific, kind of psychological things that make a good comedy to the audience is fascinating. Who'd thought it was so deep?
Trust her to actually provide highly intelligent commentary, the perspective of a true technician 👏🏽
"...and they were the same... (makes circular motion with fingers) *shape* "
Netflix has the whole series! Love watching this show!
Not anymore sadly
Mr bean AND ONLY fool's AND horses are STILL on
What a truly remarkable person. Thank you for giving everything to the character of Hyacinth. She was priceless.
I always laugh while watching “to sir with love” when she brings Sidney Poitier a cup of coffee
GREAT film🎬👍💯
Lulu sang THE theme song 🎤🎶😍
wow. such an intelligent and articulate person
It is a pity that "keeping up appearances" has only 5 seasons. The humor of the serie is brilliant and Patricia is wonderful as Mrs. Bucket.
it is pronounced bouquet
Because DAME Patricia wanted TO leave THE role OF hyacinth ON a high
AND focus more ON theater stage work
As DAME Patricia was IN HER 60s by that time!
She's 91 years young know
@@levimacdonald5188 Yes she wanted to move onto Hetty Wainthropp which was another good show. She didn't just want to be remembered for playing Hyacinth but she will always be Hyacinth to us 💕
I wish they’d made a sixth series.
At least the show never ran it's course like some sadly do. It ended on a high and left us wanting more. A proper finale would've been nice though
I feel for the people that disliked this !
I hope there lifes are gonna improve with time ❤️
I love it and dame Patricia Routledge, but Geoffrey Hughes Onslow was my favourite! 💙💙💙💙
Some people just don't know what quality is I guess
94 years old now, she’s a legend
Amazing interviews! Thanks for sharing!☆♡
I'm just sorry that there aren't more episodes
"Plump people.....magnetize to each other...".........lol. She IS a bit like her character. Hahaha
You wouldn't get away with saying that in an interview today. I adore Patricia but didn't care for that comment or the one about victims
It's bouquet dear...
What a generous interview.
My father who was not of comedy persuasion laughed heartily at the escapades of Hyacinth during his last few years on this Earth before he departed to Heaven
so did MY granny
UNCLE AND auntie all HAVE departed TO heaven know 💔🌹
everyone loves hyacinth she's like Marmite
Onslow was the Anti-Hyacinth
APIEngineering MIss Routledge says the opposite. That he too was pretentious.
An anti-hyacinthian character.
Still can not believe so many scenes were filmed in my home town of Leamington Spa. It’s just so odd walking around and just remembering the episodes

Stacy Faulkner omg! I know members there!!! Lol! Brother works at Air Force base.
I could see American cousins that were the equivalent of Hyacinth, Daisy, Violet and Rose..as well as the other characters, of course..
When they do these interviews and specials, why do they never talk about Mary Millar (Rose)? Millar was genius at playing Rose.
They are asked THE questions before THE interview🎬 that's why👍🌟
Yes it's a strange and sad one.
Both versions of Rose were great Mary Millar was the Best. She brought more to the role.
What a class act.
Where is part 4?
I think the Major is expecting to play golf with Richard .
1:32 The handbag husband.... that's what makes it endearing coz no one wants Ainsley or another type for a husband
A very good interviewer.
Do Plumb People attract each other? LOL.
I so wanted to be invited to one of her candlelight suppers.😂
Beautiful lady ❤
Again he had to of been a great great writer!
The show revolved around Hyacinth, in my humble opinion, and all of the other characters were just support, for her---never cared too much for Onslow, or Daisy, did not find either one to be that humorous. Hyacinth carried the show.
Exactly 💯 Didn't find Daisy and Onslo funny either tbh. Everytime a scene cut to them, I was just waiting for it to return to Hyacinth'
