That last line where she's stares blankly at the camera is total comedy perfection. Absolutely brilliant. Do we have any comedy actors of this calibre these days?
Just delicious comedy,but what makes it phenomenal is that in the north of England (where I'm from) this kind of conversation actually happens!Amazing writing by the late and great Victoria Wood and superb acting (as usual) from Patricia routledge
@@rosies3622 I too am from the North (and live near Cheadle and Didsbury lol) and this made me howl....She was also brilliant in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, a Lady of Letters...I agree x
The "Kitty" segments are perfection. Victoria Woods" writing and Patricia Routledge's comic timing, they never fail to make me laugh. Theres so much wrong with the world today and I'm as much to blame as anyone as I dont peg enough out!
This is priceless and timeless. For anybody who *still* labours under the misapprehension that women "don't do comedy," or "aren't funny" could do no better than to trawl the Victoria Wood archives. She was funny and surrounded herself with very talented co-actors who obviously *loved* working with her!
I can never understand that "women can't do comedy" thing. The Music Halls of the 1880s onwards were full of funny women. Vesta Tilley, Florrie Forde, Gertie Gitana, the incomparable Marie Lloyd. In the early to mid 20th century we had Nellie Wallace, Joyce Grenfell, Lucille Ball, etc.
It's sherry, not wine.... Typical drink in the 1960s, 70s, 80s for older ladies. Usually drunk in very small portions, two or three glasses would get a little old lady quite tipsy....
So tempting to recreate Kitty's lair for my next Zoom call. Floral bouquet, well polished side tables, lamp, knick-knacks and a glass of sherry. I can just flop into the chair from stage left with two bags of shopping and say "I can't stay long". Weirdly, it all begins to look much more exotic and exciting than the identikit "tastefulness" of the average 2020s interior.
I grew up with “keeping up appearances”, this is the first time I’ve seen “kitty” and it’s hilarious! Some of the things she’s saying makes sense now…yeah, let’s turn number 10 into a leisure centre! 😂 brilliant!
I love this absolutely brilliant, Dame Patricia Routledge has a wonderful voice, you certainly sit up and take notice. such a great script brilliantly written by the great late Victoria Wood, R.IP.. Dame Patricia Routledge is a SUPERB talented classy performer.
Oh my gosh! My husband and I love all these "Kitty" videos! Hysterical. Thanks for all four! "We shall have fog by teatime," what a talent and gift Dame Routledge was.
Да , да ,да ,разбира се !! Пее брилянтно ! Всяка вечер се забавлявам с един неин клип с нейният пианист !! Симбиоза на отлична певица и прекрасен комедиант....😂❤
thanks for uploading this, I love Patricia. I first saw her in keeping up appearances as Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) I always got a chuckle out of that. I also saw her in a woman of no importance, brilliant performance...but it was a sad story. I also loved her turn in Hetty Wainthrop investigates with a very young and handsome Dominic Monaghan as her assistant.

Her timing is perfect.
She and Mollie Sugden. If only she was still alive.
@@remconetCorrect. Mollie Sugden was absolutely brilliant.
No
All the old actors and actresses were the best.i loved Tony handcock sid James.hatty jakes.
THE men from the ministry. No one can bet them
How come I never saw this? Thanks RUclips rabbit holes!
These were a feature of Victoria Wood's TV programme and they are absolutely hilarious 😂
The only time you'll hear Patricia say "bucket" 🤣
Right?
😂🤣😂🤣
Bu bummm!
@@bonnieharris4538 Doosh.
It's pronounced BOO Quet
Patricia Rutledge is British National treasure... Her humor is just subtle but hilarious.
"Can you really respect a nation that's never taken to cutlery?"
Wouldn't Kitty be a fun guest at a candlelight supper of Hyacinth Bucket?! LOL
They could have brought Kitty on as Hyacinth's identical but rather different cousin. Now that would be fun
My God, she's Brilliant. An Entertainer's Entertainer... and there's nothing she can't do well. God Bless Dame Patricia Routledge.
There is nothing she hasn't done fabulously well...
@@monicagaitor6751 - Yes!
What would the Queen Mum do? Brilliant.

And from another northener, Alan Bennett...Pathos and quiet humour...Look up: Talking Heads. A Lady of Letters. She is brilliant in this too :)
@@rosies3622 yup talking heads is another favourite of mine!
@@rosies3622 roy clarke must have been watching the Kitty Monoluges when he was writing keeping up Appearances
@@rosies3622 I too am from the North (and live near Cheadle and Didsbury lol) and this made me howl....She was also brilliant in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, a Lady of Letters...I agree x
my aunt is from Cheadle and this is accurate
Victoria Wood wrote such great comedy and gave it to wonderful actors unselfishly. Miss her. Such a great loss
Rest in peace our beloved Victoria Wood. I cannot believe that you are no longer with us. Bless you. X

The constantly refilled sherry & the priceless one liners, one after the other! I never get tired of watching this.

Now look at the rott... Miranda isn't funny.... even for a woman..
Vic was gold along with French and Saunders.. funny people on any level.
just sublime. Pat and Vic what a combination. this is most fav character of Ms Wood. perfect acting, timing and script. Sheer heaven!
American here, seeing this character for the first time. Priceless.
Same here, BBC sitcoms have become my new favorites... God bless Hyacinth, Mrs. Slocum, Miranda and all the other funny women of the BBC.
We all know certain aspects of these characters in the people know, usually older members of our family or wider circle of friends.
She's walked the length and breadth of Downing St, and never spotted a decent wool shop ....priceless 😁😁😁.
Absolutely brilliant! And the glass of "wine" deserves an Oscar!
It's sherry, not wine.... Typical drink in the 1960s, 70s, 80s for older ladies.

@@AngelaGarry Sherry is by definition wine. It is fortified wine from the Jerez region.

That would be awesome
I endorse this idea, may I pour the sherry? 😂
Please record this Simon

"I thought 'What would the Queen Mum do?'". Classic.

Patrick Mccallion that's my favourite bit 🤣 So funny 👌
@@CJ-hg9cs right ? I so agree
🤣🤣🤣
I keep that line in my back pocket if I'm ever stuck for a response.
And dolly of Emmerdale farm! Priceless 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This lady is perfection and ageless. Ageless perfection.
Brilliant Actress, so funny..
Only seen her in "Keeping Up Appearances". Hilarious that was. ♥️👍
I love this absolutely brilliant, Dame Patricia Routledge has a wonderful voice, you certainly sit up and take notice. such a great script brilliantly written by the great late Victoria Wood, R.IP.. Dame Patricia Routledge is a SUPERB talented classy performer.
Whenever I'm feeling terrible I come here and put a smile on my face. 😊
What a joy. Fabulous delivery of wonderful writng.
Happy 90th birthday to,dame Patricia Routledge 💖💖💖💖💖💖!!!
Just bloody brilliant British comedy at its best 👌 👍 😍 🥰
"I've been the length and breadth of Downing Street and never found a decent wool shop". That'd put me off being PM too.
The woman is magnificent. I'm hooked on Hyacinth, and now it's Kitty. Life is good
❤❤❤oh, Patricia. Hits my funny bone every time! Genious timing. ❤❤❤
North West England is jam packed with Kittys 🤣
Yes, I used to live in Didsbury and Cheadle in the 1970s and 1980s...
@@ChrisMartin-b7l they are spunky in cheadle and totter on! 😀
She's hilarious even when you don't get all the Brit jokes. Marvelous.
Patricia Routledge performing an exquisite rendering of Victoria Wood's writing,
"What would the Queen Mum do?" I think that's Hyacinth's motto LOL
The Queen Mum was a fan of Mrs. Bucket's (true).
3:50 Thankfully someone FINALLY conferred a knighthood on YOU, Ms. Routledge. Dame Patriciaaaaaaa!!! Legend in her own time.
plutorama That's all very well, but where's the damehood for Dolly off Emmerdale Farm?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Actress. Patricia Routledge co starred in To Sir With Love, starring Sidney Portier.
BRILLIANT Actress
Who’d have thought the main punchline would be silence. 🤣
0:25 “Over there in a bucket”, or is that a bouquet?
Superb!!!!
Oh my gosh! My husband and I love all these "Kitty" videos! Hysterical. Thanks for all four! "We shall have fog by teatime," what a talent and gift Dame Routledge was.
Agreed, what a talent Victoria Wood was, in coming up with this stuff! :O)
Dame Patricia not Dame Routledge
She still is
It's "We Shall have Fun by teatime"
"leotard full of hormones' ...exceptional comedy from a grande dame of comedy. :D
What a Dame. And what writing by Victoria.
Brilliant, them were the days😂
Nothing short of brilliant
Amazing actress
Hyacinth was still angry with the Chinese about the takeaway phone calls 😂
Written by Victoria Wood, genius.
This woman is brilliant. 💓
When I was growing up, butter beans were regarded as a special treat
Looks like she's been into the Dowager Lady Ursula's homemade gooseberry wine (again).
Yes. Priceless stuff!!!!! (Patricia Rutledge plus Victoria Wood, not the wine!)
Geesberry Woon.
gomemade hooseberry hine
LMAO!!!! I can't believe I've seen the wine again! LOL! Love it!
The dowager lady Ursula’s gomade heeseberry woodle
No matter what she does, always reminds me of Keeping Up Appearances - love it!
Kirsty Maher this is what Keeping up Appearances was based on!! Just brilliant!
Seems she can't handle the Dowager Lady Ursula's home Gooseberry wine 😂🤣👏👏👏
This was wonderful, i didnt know this. She is the joy in britcoms.
There are 2 more episodes of Kitty which are equally hilarious
I have never seen this show with Dame Patricia R.KITTY.. she is a great comedic actress !👍😁😂🤣😷😂🤣👍
Absolutely one of her bests!
Perfection
Utter perfection!!
This is the UK’s answer to Bette white and I hope she has plenty more happy healthy years of life
Written by Victoria Wood in 1985 still funny today. PR reminds me of my mother. Kitty for PM!
Was it that long ago? Its still so so funny now.
2024 RUclips thought i need to see this. It were right.
This was fun, seeing her doing something besides Hyacinth Bucket.......err........BOOKAAY. LOL
"I could hop up on a unicycle and balance a wheelbarrow on my eyebrow but I'm far too busy"
Can you really respect a nation that's never taken to cutlery?😂😂😂
Keeping up Appearances: Her physical comedy is outstanding.. amazing.
Bloody love Kitty!
Pure Brilliance
Superb...
Absolutely unbelievable comic timing.
Reminds me of some of the women in Cheadle, when I lived there in the late 1970s
I wish this was on dvd & bluray . Like keeping up appearances
Love her, Kitty is my favourite character.
I've suddenly realised I've used many of these lines for years unconsciously
What can't she do...👏👏👏👏
Brilliant character.
Comedy genius! Dame Patricia is the best ❤️❤️
She still reminds me of Patricia. A very good actress and an extrodinary singer like I've never heard before.
Still waiting for the moment when I can deploy, "We shall have fog by teatime ".
Every afternoon, well before teatime. :)
FUN BY TEATIME
I don't think I shall ever forget that!! Ha ha
"I could hop up on a unicycle and balance a wheelbarrow on my eyebrows but I'm far too busy."
Fan-bleedin'-tastic (as Winnie would say)

Glorious!!!
What do you think of Marks (Marx)? I think their underwear has dropped off!
People today aren't pegging enough out.
Brilliant.
I keep watching her "Kitty" clips over and over again. Too funny, she is smashing in everything she does.
Absolutely fabulous the movie
