That was such a funny show - years old now but what we would call a classic. All the actors were brilliant. Sad to think that there are probably many like her, I align more with the sister who lives on a council estate - grew up on one !! lol

Anyone else know this show? I used to watch it years ago when it was on PBS.
Really funny. @dev553344 @Nancy
No I have not seen this, but I LOVE British humor and will take a look tonight. I need something uplifting and humorous, thank you!

Trust me Nancy, it will make you laugh. I don’t think it’s aged too much and also the parallels between the ‘ posh ‘ attitudes that she endeavours to keep and her ‘ poor ‘ family member are culturally understandable. With her poor neighbours and husband caught up in the middle x

In an attempt to avoid the Hollywood trash, I resorted to several other options.

britbox.com has many of the old British shows such as Keeping Up Appearances. It is a subscription channel.

acorn.tv is another option, but I found much fewer shows on it that kept my attention.

Lately I've gone to watching a lot of East Asian and Korean movies and series that are available on Netflix, Prime, ROKU, and HULU. Of course, TCM for the older classic movies is an option and it often includes even the old silent movies.

Yes I use to have Britbox, but obviously being in the U.K. I have other options.
Some of the old series have aged and I find difficult to watch. There is another one I use to watch “ My Family “ - that’s hilarious

YouTube has full episodes, too. I only posted short videos here. It's the regular YouTube. I don't pay for anything streaming.

Check out Tubi... it's free. They have thousands of movies, all categories, old TV shows, etc.

Tubi even has a faith and family movie section. I like a good mystery, sometimes Sci-fi or courtroom drama. I have enjoyed a lot of true stories on Tubi.

Yes i know them shows all very well.

The Pommys of that era were funny.

Commedy nowadays is total rubbish, to outright sick nonsense, Political Correctness gone making depravity, claiming such to be funny ?

The Political Correct Nazis have undermined a lot of Commerdy of the past, for they are now looking at such things from a stupid angle.
The Cartoon's nowadays are retarded booring and dead no soul to them ? Some retards make claims that Porky Pig has no pants on ? i never took any notice of such when i was a child, it was not an issue at all. and it's not now ! Like who thinks up such. Queers ?

Yes, I've been watching "Yes Minister" or some such title on tubi now. It is funny, what was satire about the "deep state" running the UK, is like our "deep state" in the USA today.

There is a follow on series called ‘ Yes, Prime minister ‘ - absolutely love the humour in both of the series, and it kind of opens your eyes - which I didn’t notice when I was younger and the series first came out.
