Season 3 Has Delightful Candlelit Suppers

As we celebrate Magnus' birthday, it's time to talk about one of the most famous sitcoms of all time with one of the most well-known, self assured, and yet farcical characters of all time. Is Keeping Up Appearances the perfect sitcom? In many ways, yes. But between a premature departure of its main star and fighting between the director and the writer, it could've all gone wrong.

Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet, if you please) has meticulously attempted to craft a world around her. And that meticulous crafting is always subject to going wrong. Especially when her family and friends get involved. But the thing is- with all her affectations and misdirections- Hyacinth who dreams of an upper class British life is a woman you can't help but love. Just a little.

Her son Sheridan feels the same way I'm sure.
