The bouquet residence, the lady of the house speaking.

Hello and welcome to Keeping Up Appearances, the luxury podcast.

This is the companion podcast for exploring the world of Hyacinth Bouquet in the hit BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances. So do come on in, send yourself down,

do make yourself at home but take your shoes off first dear. We're ever so grateful that

you're joining us. My name's Jonathan Vernon Smith and joining me for this series is William Hansen.

Hello, we're here because we absolutely love Hyacinth and the world of keeping up appearances.

So you're here, either because you already love it as much as we do, or if you haven't fallen in love yet,

after you've finished with us, we're hoping that you will have done.

In this special episode, we're going to talk about the 10 things that we think you'll love

about Hyacinth Bouquet. But before that, we wanted to tell you how the rest of this podcast

series is going to work. In each instalment, William and I will take you through an episode

of Keeping Up appearances. We'll be sharing our thoughts on the key moments, taking you through what the show means to us,

and I'm sure they might be the odd, higher sent impersonation along the way.

We'll be releasing an entire companion series for every episode of Keeping Up appearances, series one, very soon.

If you subscribe to us, wherever you listen to podcasts, you should get a

notification when they become available. We suggest the best way to enjoy this podcast is to watch

an episode first and then return to us and listen to the corresponding episode. It doesn't matter

if it's the first time you've watched an episode or the 50th.

As long as you've seen the episode, you're very welcome to step on to our grade one, Xminster, and join in the fun.

Remember Hyacinth always comes first.

So William, what can the new bucket fans do if they want to watch along with us?

Well, for those listening in the UK, a subscription to Now TV will give access to every single episode of Keeping Up appearances until April 2022. Or they can subscribe to Brit Box, which is available not only in the UK, but in the US, Canada and Australia.
