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?
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
Hyacinth Bucket coming to form. She was hilarious to those familiar with British society as you'd always have a lady like that on your street. Patricia Routledge micky taked it to a tea and biscuits. One of the funniest ladies on tv in the 90s.
WOW having lived in the English speaking work for nearly 48 years married to a Yank and living in Canada for 45 years I did not understand half of what she just said. hahahhahhahahahahaha ONE must love the English:))
Приколы
The only time you'll hear Patricia say "bucket" 🤣
Right?
😂🤣😂🤣
Bu bummm!
@@bonnieharris4538 Doosh.
It's pronounced BOO Quet
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.
Victoria Wood wrote such great comedy and gave it to wonderful actors unselfishly. Miss her. Such a great loss
"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
Patricia Rutledge is British National treasure... Her humor is just subtle but hilarious.
What would the Queen Mum do? Brilliant.
It's alright leave the bottle ....what a Classic 😂
"I did my butterbean whip. It's over there in a BOUQUET..." 🤣
Patricia Routledge performing an exquisite rendering of Victoria Wood's writing,
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?
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!
"Honestly, that Brillo has helped your freckles"
This lady is perfection and ageless. Ageless perfection.
Brilliant Actress, so funny..
Only seen her in "Keeping Up Appearances". Hilarious that was. ♥️👍
This is absolutely beautiful, the writing, the use of language and imagery, the delivery, simply perfect.

She's walked the length and breadth of Downing St, and never spotted a decent wool shop ....priceless 😁😁😁.
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!
And dolly of Emmerdale farm! Priceless 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"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).
Absolutely brilliant! And the glass of "wine" deserves an Oscar!

Genuis!!!
That would be awesome
I endorse this idea, may I pour the sherry? 😂
What. A. Legend.
Rest in peace our beloved Victoria Wood. I cannot believe that you are no longer with us. Bless you. X
She’s an international GEM! I absolutely love Dame Patricia Routledge. Best wishes to her from Singapore.
When I was growing up, butter beans were regarded as a special treat
North West England is jam packed with Kittys 🤣
"I thought 'What would the Queen Mum do?'". Classic.
We shall have fog by teatime
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.

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.
Happy 90th birthday to,dame Patricia Routledge 💖💖💖💖💖💖!!!
The constantly refilled sherry & the priceless one liners, one after the other! I never get tired of watching this.
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
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
"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.
What a joy. Fabulous delivery of wonderful writng.
Brilliant, them were the days😂
Who’d have thought the main punchline would be silence. 🤣
Just bloody brilliant British comedy at its best 👌 👍 😍 🥰
Every sketch she relates to Cheadle!
What can't she do...👏👏👏👏
BRILLIANT Actress
She's hilarious even when you don't get all the Brit jokes. Marvelous.
"I could hop up on a unicycle and balance a wheelbarrow on my eyebrow but I'm far too busy"

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?
And unlike American comedy performers she never gets cute and giggles at her own lines like on SNL.
Whenever I'm feeling terrible I come here and put a smile on my face. 😊
I have never seen this show with Dame Patricia R.KITTY.. she is a great comedic actress !👍😁😂🤣😷😂🤣👍
"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)
'Ive never won anything really....Every day I say...WinnAAAAAY this Could bay your Luckaaay DAAAY!'
Written by Victoria Wood, genius.
Superb!!!!
Genius.
Bloody love Kitty!
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
❤❤❤oh, Patricia. Hits my funny bone every time! Genious timing. ❤❤❤
This was wonderful, i didnt know this. She is the joy in britcoms.
This was fun, seeing her doing something besides Hyacinth Bucket.......err........BOOKAAY. LOL
Pure Brilliance
Absolutely unbelievable comic timing.
This woman is brilliant. 💓
genius
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.
Utter perfection!!
What a Dame. And what writing by Victoria.
"leotard full of hormones' ...exceptional comedy from a grande dame of comedy. :D
"We shall have fog by tea time." love Pat Routledge!
Keeping up Appearances: Her physical comedy is outstanding.. amazing.
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!
Love her, Kitty is my favourite character.
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"
2024 RUclips thought i need to see this. It were right.
Comedy genius! Dame Patricia is the best ❤️❤️
The woman is magnificent. I'm hooked on Hyacinth, and now it's Kitty. Life is good
Amazing actress
0:25 “Over there in a bucket”, or is that a bouquet?
I wish this was on dvd & bluray . Like keeping up appearances
This is the UK’s answer to Bette white and I hope she has plenty more happy healthy years of life
11 people have got flip-top bins.
GusMcGuire Or 11 Chinese acrobats.
Superb...
I've suddenly realised I've used many of these lines for years unconsciously
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
Perfection
Absolutely one of her bests!
People today aren't pegging enough out.
Brilliant.
What do you think of Marks (Marx)? I think their underwear has dropped off!
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!
She’s drinking that port or sherry like it’s bloody water
It’s sherry - Harvey’s Bristol Cream by the looks of it:))
Brilliant character.
She still reminds me of Patricia. A very good actress and an extrodinary singer like I've never heard before.
I keep watching her "Kitty" clips over and over again. Too funny, she is smashing in everything she does.
Absolutely fabulous the movie
@@timothyfraser shes not in Ab Fab

Love this lady!!😁❤
Bloody genius!! Love it...
Just like my family when they're in their 'cups'
WOW having lived in the English speaking work for nearly 48 years married to a Yank and living in Canada for 45 years I did not understand half of what she just said. hahahhahhahahahahaha ONE must love the English:))
I didn't understand a word.
I thought "What would the Queen Mum do?"
I made my butterbean whip.....its over there...in a bucket!
Mark Hughes IT'S BOUQUET 💐
Kitty for PM!
"How're your gussets, Marcie?"
"My stomach hurts clear down to my toes"
thank you for this used love watching this , no one can do it better than Patricia Routledge
