Summary

The Luxury Podcast returns for Series 2 of Keeping Up Appearances, as William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith continue their journey through the hit 90s BBC sitcom. In the words of JVS, the second spell of episodes is when this series really starts 'cooking on gas', and it's no different for the podcast. Hyacinth Bucket is shocked to find a strange man outside Elizabeth's door which begins a journey of discovery for the true identity of this mystery male. And it's Jonathan who has his own tales of shocking neighbours, stories that if Hyacinth were to hear them would really send her into a tizz!

0:00.0	Are you tired of being told a pipe down pet, calm down love, or worst of all, get a grip?
0:05.9	Oh, it just gets us so railed up even thinking about it. Well, if you're sick and bite in your
0:09.9	tongue, we're here to help you let it all hang out. To call out the kiosk and make some noise.
0:15.1	I'm Angela Scanlon and I'm Vicki Patterson. Our new podcast is the unapologetic group chat
0:20.3	you've always wanted.
0:22.0	Introducing, get a grip. So if you're done with holding back, this is your space. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
0:34.3	Hello and welcome to series two of keeping up appearances, the luxury podcast. If you hadn't
0:41.5	guessed already, this is the companion podcast for exploring the world of Hyacinth Bouquet in the hit BBC
0:48.5	sitcom Keeping Up appearances. My name's Jonathan Verdon-Smith. With me, of course, William Hanson.
0:55.0	Hello, we've returned to the world of podcasting for a second series because we absolutely
0:59.7	love Hyacinth and the world of keeping up appearances. And we want you to fall in love with it as
1:05.5	much as we do. Jonathan and I are big bucket heads. Massive. So you should know by now how this podcast works, but here's a little reminder
1:15.6	just in case. In each instalment, William and I will take you through an episode of Keeping Up appearances
1:21.0	delving deep into the world of the bouquets. And series two, as I mentioned at the end of series one, is when, in my opinion,
1:31.5	keeping up appearances really starts to cook on gas. So what is it about this series that
1:36.5	makes it so special? I think it's because they clearly saw what a resounding success, the first
1:43.2	series, how good it was, how well received it
1:47.1	was by the public. But they had clearly worked what worked, what didn't work, what needed to be
1:52.1	put in, and it got, it just got funnier. It did. And they worked out, I think, what worked
2:00.4	with Patricia Routledge in particular. And I think
2:02.8	she probably worked out what she thought was funny, because in series two, you get much more of
