Synopsis:

This is the complete series of Keeping Up Appearances, where you can witness Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet, don't you know), and her long suffering Richard, impressing and distressing their family and neighbours. Laugh along when 'Daddy' chases after milk ladies naked on his bike, Richard fights daily against early retirement, and sister Daisy and brother-in-law Onslow cause our house proud Mrs Bucket much embarrassment and humiliation. Featuring every episode of the entire series in an 8 disc box set, this is the first time this hilarious BBC comedy is available in one fantastic package, including the Christmas Specials! So come in for a Darjeeling tea, and visit our heroine Hyacinth Bucket as she fights the ever declining moral fabric of Britain… just whatever you do… don't brush against her walls.

Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'bouquet') continually looks for opportunities to climb the social ladder, though she's wedged on a rung just below her sister Violet (whose house has a swimming pool, sauna, and room for a pony) and just above her working class sisters Daisy and Rose. Hyacinth's passion for flawless entertaining unnerves her neighbor Elizabeth, who is often invited to the Bucket home for coffee. Elizabeth's divorced brother Emmet, who also lives next door to the Buckets, tries to avoid Hyacinth because she breaks into song in his presence in the hope he'll cast her in one of his 'little theater' musical productions.

A snobbish housewife is determined to climb the social ladder, in spite of her family's working class connections and the constant chagrin of her long suffering husband.
