And I loved that shaggy dog who lived in the junker in the front garden. It would scare the heck out of Hyacinth with its barking. It looks like Gremlin on Doc Martin.
I absolutely loved this show. Seldom does one get to see a show in which all of the actors are individually funny as well as funny in group settings. I live in America and I find that British comedy is so much better than ours because it reminds me of a time when comedy was funny, not raunchy. Because of this show, I started to look for other British comedies and I found that there were quite a few, like The Black Adder, Fawlty Towers, As Time Goes By, Are You Being Served and several others, but Keeping Up Appearances is my absolute favorite, so much so that I purchased the entire series on DVD. What a great show.
Completely agree - I love the standards such as Keeping Up Appearances, Vicar of Dibley, To The Manor Born, No Honestly, Good Neighbors, and others... great, brilliant writing and excellent actresses and actors. All Classic.
Waiting For God about real characters inhabiting a retirement village loving laughing adventuring, fighting off fear and finding new adventures in our later years! It's marvelous! Romantic and hilarious, starring Stephanie Cole's and Graham Crowdon oh my such chemistry, he was 86 playing 86, she was 50 playing 66 but check my facts everyone should see this in their 40s and every year for the rest of your life!😋
finally we americans can get to know the actors behind the characters on "keeping up appearances". it is a joy to see them talking about their lives and about the sitcom we've come to love.
Scripts have gone so far down, that it can't get worse. They covered all manners of depravity on sitcoms (US) so they (I haven't watched TV for several yrs, and don't miss it at all). I watch old series on You Tube.
I think Sex in the City was crude & unwatchable. And I didn’t watch it. There was no finesse on that show. We got rid of cable tv because of the smut and crap on it.
I absolutely LOVED this show (Keeping Up Appearances) and it's fascinating to hear the contributions the actors made to developing the roles. I absolutely agree: the script writing set this show apart (particularly from modern ones now).
+Wes Benter i sort of agree but it's all subjective really. even without the genre restrictions TV has always been a hit or miss... and these days we have reality tv which wouldn't even be so bad if there wouldn't be SO MUCH OF IT like reality shows about everything! REALITY SHOWS ABOUT PEOPLE WATCHING TELEVISION I AM NOT SHITTING YOU THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT IN MY COUNTRY WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HUMANITY?! *ahem* sorry about that.
I agree Wes! I started watching "Keeping Up Appearances" when I was in 7th grade (around 1995. My partner and I still watch her. We just call the show Hyacinth. :-)
There was scene where Daisy is reading a romance novel, Onslow says "why d'ya keep read'n stuff like that?" Daisy: Because it's me last foothold in romance, I get very little practice, so I can a least keep abreast of theory"
you are so right on the scripts they make today i have said it so many times all they know how to do is put swearing in instead of coming up with a good shows which i don't watch at all.i love all the older shows they have a great script and no swearing,and most of all class and also i love british shows most of all they are so funny without swearing ,i just love this interview with you .you were my favorite person on your show
Judy’s character on Keeping Up is a character like no other, and she does it brilliantly! Oh, they are ALL brilliant. Without brilliant writing, there’s nothing to watch between commercials. Buy the DVD set! Brilliant, I tell you.
I remember Judy Cornwall in Moody and Pegg from the 70’s. I must have enjoyed it as I remember it so well !! Maybe it’ll resurface on Talking Pictures ☺️
I loved all the cast of Keeping up appearances :) Wonderful people and extremely tallented actors. I have so much pity that ale the series was so short...
Believe it or not, most people in the US have senses of humor that closely aligns with British humor. Unfortunately, the vocal (and wealthy) minority in our country decided that things must be over the top to squeeze a laugh out of viewers.
Judy speaks FACTS!!!! The classics are the best. Modern comedies if you could call them that simply can't compare. Vulgarity, sweating and nudity doesn't equal talent.
It's not just that a lack of talent that brings them down but alot of the comedians and celebrities today shoot themselves in the arm for coming out and making a political statement about climate change, black lives matters, diversity or LGBT etc. Robert Deniro, Barbara Streisand, Jack Black just to name a few. Why can't they just shut up and keep their political views to themselves, politics and religion are private matters. I lose all respect for them once they start shooting their mouths off in public about political matters or pushing their own agenda. I have to admit Patricia Routledge and Judy Cornwell are not part of this elite cancel culture that want to bring back communism and take away our freedom, these old actors and actresess know how to respect their fanbase.
I totally agree. Writers don't know how to do great scripts without swearing.. look at golden girls and frazier.i always watch keeping up appearances and as time goes by. Very little is funny on u s tv today. I watch very little tv now.
I wish KUA was on here where I live. I don’t know if it’s on anywhere in the states. I loved this show, Are You Being Served, Doc, Reggie Perrin, and so many more britcoms. We have Britbox here in the US now, and I will be subscribing to it.
Miss Judy, you lovely lady. I will never forget Ounslow in London West End production Run for your Wife, that time worlds longest running comedy show at it's 9th year.
So maddening how they have death on google about her,.She never died,.Pisses me off that crap,.They have it on alot of folks,.Love these ladie's,.Daisy is my fave with her Onslow, who saddly did pass away, with Rose,.Actually both Rose's passed,.Hyancinth is a superb lady, awesome actress,.I never knew she was in so many role's of movie's, theatre's,.probably cause I'm not from the U.K. thankfully,.but u just don't hear about these folks in America,.
L. J.P. When I was a kid, I saw British films all the time on W-OR, Channel 9 in Ct. Now you guys see almost nada British, & British English is considered a "foreign language"! You CAN get two hours of British fiction on Public Television Saturday evenings. Now I live in Europe, I am exposed to many different countries' films, series...
Agree totally....little talent today when it comes to genuine comedy, most is crude and poorly written. Traditional British comedy has always been tasteful and never vulgar, funny with out being crude and written with intelligence, same for older American comedy shows also with greats like Carol Burnett, etc. Today's stuff is rubbish so we don't watch any of it, give me the old stuff any day!
Bit of trivia: I forget the name of the film, offhand, but a young Judy Cornwell plays girlfriend to Fabian (the 60s singing heartthrob/wannabe actor) in a movie where Fabian is an up and coming race car driver. Yes, at the start of her career, Ms Cornwell played "ingenue" parts. BTW, not really sure Hyacinth was the brainy sister, she was just the one who had ideas about how she thought HER world should function. Some of her ideas were somewhat daft. And Daisy and Rose? I have sisters like them, well, Hyacinth too, I suppose. But Daisy is our favorite. And Rose? We put up with her quirks. Hyacinth? We often wonder if she was adopted.
that scene when Judy Cornwell and Geoffrey Hughes were in bed together and Onslow was talking about Daisy being a Liverpool supporter, that scene just killed me hahaha! Onslow was so offended lol. Being a Liverpool supporter myself I just loved that scene
I loved the scenes when Onslow woke up in bed and told Daisy how he kept having nightmares about Richard being in the clutches of a big horrible monster who wouldn't let him go lol.
I agree with her too. Personally, I blame the lack of decent scripts on nepotism. Some crude idiot with no talent - but whose dad or uncle has the power to get him hired - gets a job writing, and all of the "yes-men" in the system tell him and his influential relatives how "brilliant" he is. Then other people imitate his "style" hoping to sell their stuff to the same market, and the standard drops like a rock. It's a shame.
I miss the show on Saturday evenings I would try to act. Out on the p hone when my Friend would call, (I have caller Id),so I would go into the act, "Bucket residence man of the house speaking.
so true that profanity is an indicator of bad writing. wish Hollywood would get that message so we can safely return to the cinema. last three movies I've gone to, I've asked for my money back and rec'd it. good scripts are full of ideas and concepts and talent...that's worth watching!
Comedians who use swear words do it to boost the audience's attention. It is just a manipulation, like picking out someone in the front row and going back to him/her every time the jokes stop working. The swearing often sounds forced, I think. "Gratuitous" is the word that comes to mind.
You don't seem to comprehend the genius it takes to pull all of these characters off! Without their responses to Hyacinth or the sisters hyperthroidal responses to their own lives & their sister,, these highly trained & skilled actors would have nothing anyhere near as exhilerating as Hyacinth is to react off of! She & her insane pretentions are the glue; they all respond their own ways to her nutty ideas! Richard, I believe, secretly thrives on the chaos that seems to attend Hyacinth's every project! His work is dull, and everything she does is bigger than life; she has an ersatz fantasy that Richard likes being part of or he would leave her! She is utterly deluded but each sister and her husband is deluded as well! Richard is well taken care of & she is a cozy armful! & he knows she would be utterly unable to survive alone! I loved the episode showing the softer side of Hyacinth when she gets high on some estate sale wine the duchess made they all have some & Hyacinth calls the wine by a number of malaprops! Swell episode I felt fond of her! She is a classicly trained actress and singer Which is rare in this world!
@@carolvogelman5261 .. What the hell is your rant all about? Did I say anything against Hyacinth? I listed my favorite characters, nothing more. Yes, they played off Hyacinth. That's obvious. But that doesn't change my appreciation of those characters. I also don't agree with your assessment of Richard (a lot stronger than you imply), but that's not the point here.
Judy Cornwell is a brilliant actress. Even though I've seen the series "Keeping Up Appearances" over-and-over, I still watch it.
Judy Cornwell is so generous with her input and praise of other actors. Her critiques of certain styles of writing are spot on.
Judy Cornwell and Geoffrey Hughs made me laugh on "Keeping Up Appearances." Daisy and Onslow did it for me.
Oh nice! 😂🤣😂
And I loved that shaggy dog who lived in the junker in the front garden. It would scare the heck out of Hyacinth with its barking. It looks like Gremlin on Doc Martin.
LOVED! Judy Cornwell in 'Keeping Up Appearances' !!

Have you watched Last of the Summer Wine? It is delightful, especially seasons 4 on.
I also have the entire series on DVD. Bought it years ago. I love Call the Midwife as well and have season 1-12 on DVD.
Completely agree - I love the standards such as Keeping Up Appearances, Vicar of Dibley, To The Manor Born, No Honestly, Good Neighbors, and others... great, brilliant writing and excellent actresses and actors. All Classic.

@@carolvogelman5261 Loved that show as well. I watch the British TV series on the USA PBS TV station.
Hm Vicar of Dibley was flat out dirty. Constant sex jokes are ok but swearing isn’t?
I agree with Judy ! Comedy these days is to crude and often very dark and cruel 😢
finally we americans can get to know the actors behind the characters on "keeping up appearances". it is a joy to see them talking about their lives and about the sitcom we've come to love.
Fantastic actress, she will always be Daisy to me.
Rumpole of the Bailey (TV Series)
- Rumpole and the Official Secret (1987)
... Rosemary Tuttle
Gary Daniel Miss Marple episode, I think it was called "The mirror cracked twice".
She did a great mrs . Claus to
You are so right.. Her character of Daisy ( 'Dais' to Onslow) will always shine through . She portrayed such a loving caring person
Also Anya Claus Santa's wife in Santa Claus The Movie
great great show ...... every one on the show are just quality and excellent performers ,,,,,, really miss Onslow ,,,,,, 10/10 .
Thanks everybody.
Touché, Judy! Especially on the writing being funny without all the swearing.
Judy cornwell seems a LOVELY person like daisy IN many ways
💓
She is so right about newer TV fare.
She's so right about the scripts lacking, and the swearing ,just about everything!
Mi Mo
Scripts have gone so far down, that it can't get worse. They covered all manners of depravity on sitcoms (US) so they (I haven't watched TV for several yrs, and don't miss it at all). I watch old series on You Tube.
I think Sex in the City was crude & unwatchable. And I didn’t watch it. There was no finesse on that show. We got rid of cable tv because of the smut and crap on it.
I miss keeping up appearances :'(
I have the entire series on DVD.
I absolutely LOVED this show (Keeping Up Appearances) and it's fascinating to hear the contributions the actors made to developing the roles. I absolutely agree: the script writing set this show apart (particularly from modern ones now).
+Wes Benter i sort of agree but it's all subjective really.
even without the genre restrictions TV has always been a hit or miss...
and these days we have reality tv which wouldn't even be so bad if there wouldn't be SO MUCH OF IT
like reality shows about everything! REALITY SHOWS ABOUT PEOPLE WATCHING TELEVISION I AM NOT SHITTING YOU THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT IN MY COUNTRY WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HUMANITY?! *ahem* sorry about that.
I agree Wes! I started watching "Keeping Up Appearances" when I was in 7th grade (around 1995. My partner and I still watch her. We just call the show Hyacinth. :-)
Totally agree Wes. The show achieved success because of the high class comedy, minus the crude swearing.
I adore Judy Cornwell.
Love Love Love Judy ..every Saturday night I HAVE to watch Keeping Up Appearances since I first found them in the early 90's God Bless them all
This is an enormous hit here in the States. Thank you for posting. Always enjoy a look behind the characters, a peek at the real people. Thanks again.
Judy Cornwall, you have just described American tv brilliantly! Thank you from an American!
Miss Cornwell is brilliant!
Such a great series, "Keeping Up Appearances", and what a great cast.
Great actress like her in keeping up appearances still like watching it👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰😆💗🌹🌹🦋🦋
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,
I am proud to be a Brit. This interview is so interesting. Such articulate opinions well expressed.
I really like her in keeping up appearances
Im still watching Keeping up Appearances,,love u Judy💜
What a fantastic person. She is such a great actress.❤️
There was scene where Daisy is reading a romance novel, Onslow says "why d'ya keep read'n stuff like that?" Daisy: Because it's me last foothold in romance, I get very little practice, so I can a least keep abreast of theory"
I love that scene!
Is that the one with
“If I wore a saddle, perhaps you would pay more attention to me.”
“I never go for the real outsiders.”
BRILLIANT
Mills and boon 📖
My favourite show ❤
She's right, too many comedies rely on swearing.
you are so right on the scripts they make today i have said it so many times all they know how to do is put swearing in instead of coming up with a good shows which i don't watch at all.i love all the older shows they have a great script and no swearing,and most of all class and also i love british shows most of all they are so funny without swearing ,i just love this interview with you .you were my favorite person on your show
The Golden Girls (US) had tons of cursing and was absolutely brilliant.
Judy’s character on Keeping Up is a character like no other, and she does it brilliantly! Oh, they are ALL brilliant. Without brilliant writing, there’s nothing to watch between commercials. Buy the DVD set! Brilliant, I tell you.
Ik! Been going through the DVD set which cheers spirits up ☆♡
I love that Judy picked the cardigan herself ♥️
Oh Daisy 👍😂😂great actor, forever remembered.
I really love this show. A joy to learn more about it.
I remember Judy Cornwall in Moody and Pegg from the 70’s. I must have enjoyed it as I remember it so well !! Maybe it’ll resurface on Talking Pictures ☺️
The complete series of Moody and Pegg was released on DVD About ten or so odd years ago!
I was fortunate to see this great lady on the stage in The Bed Before Yesterday.
I agree with Judy... Rude/ cruel/ crude... that stuff gets old so so quick. I just don't understand it.
I loved all the cast of Keeping up appearances :) Wonderful people and extremely tallented actors. I have so much pity that ale the series was so short...
I love all the episodes of the series
Judy I agree WITH everything YOU said,, 💯AND DAME Patricia Routedge, also
I really like to listen to mrs. Cornwell, she has so nice voice really :P
Patricia is such an amazing woman.
A good writer too.
I really love that the USA crowd 🇺🇸
L❤VE this beloved show of ours 🇬🇧
Believe it or not, most people in the US have senses of humor that closely aligns with British humor. Unfortunately, the vocal (and wealthy) minority in our country decided that things must be over the top to squeeze a laugh out of viewers.
Keeping up Appearances Classic comedy at its best
I met Judy and her husband at the NEC in march and she's an absolutely lovely lady, wonderful person to talk to :)
Love you "Daisy and Onslow!!
KUA, and SYBS are my favorite! Love you! I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just found this . I love that show and everyone in it.
such a classy lady.
I so loved this show. I still DVR the shoe when it comes on my PBS channel.

They don’t make shows like this anymore, sad, great entertainment, miss you all 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love Judy. Smart lady too.
British comedy is very funny luv them
Love you Daisy
Great actress
Ofcourse Daisy would watch "Sex and the City".
old ones always best
Just start watching her darama keeping up appearance. On third season n its vv nice
does anyone remember this lady in To Sir With Love ?
Dame Patricia appeared in this Great film as a teacher 🎬
Lulu sang THE theme song 🎶
-1967- was the year it was released 📺
sandra clift I certainly do! How could I not!
I caught Judy as the Embassy secretary in "Cry Freedom".
Fantastic interview.
She was also Anya Claus in Santa Claus The Movie
Aww she was great as mrs clause in santa clause the movie xx
Still watch these! Lolol love love love these shows. Are you being served to!
I agree with her too. Personally, I blame the lack of decent scripts on nepotism. Some crude idiot with no talent - but whose dad or uncle has the power to get him hired - gets a job writing, and all of the "yes-men" in the system tell him and his influential relatives how "brilliant" he is. Then other people imitate his "style" hoping to sell their stuff to the same market, and the standard drops like a rock. It's a shame.
Love her❣️🥰

If I wasn't a fan before, Judy declaring that she preferred Keaton to Chaplin would've won me over. (But I was a fan before.)

I agree, Jenifer and Joana are just amazing
You makes me laugh too.. Ms Judy.
She was really good in Santa Claus The Movie 😁
DAISY!
I would love to read one of her books.
Very good books indeed.
wow ive never seen this before! wow ilove it thanks babes iloveyouu xxxxxxx
She is a diamond
Great l wasn’t sure about her writing l have read her books
Interesting how she doesn’t like swearing in modern comedies and yet when you watch the bloopers of keeping up appearances she swears all the time.
Din not mean I disliked Golden girls and fraizer. I loved those as apposed to today's work. Like Daisy I read a lot!
Yes I agree about the swearing.Lazy way to speak😀
If i was daisy i would i would be scared but shes speaking so calmly
Its true comedy in our time has a lot of swearing.
Comedians who use swear words do it to boost the audience's attention. It is just a manipulation, like picking out someone in the front row and going back to him/her every time the jokes stop working. The swearing often sounds forced, I think. "Gratuitous" is the word that comes to mind.
@MrAlsfan5 okay i take back what i said. I miss seeing these series. Hopefully they will make it onto DVDs :D
My favorite characters, even above Hyacinth, were Onslow and Daisy. Next favorite was Richard. Third the Vicar.
