    Only true fans of the show can do a parody like this - most of the elements are here, from Elizabeth's nerves right down to the look of Hyacinth's kitchen and front door. I could only imagine what 'Richard' and 'Emmet' would've been like!

    Hyacinth missed pointing out that the cups were Royal Doulton with hand painted periwinkles. (Which by the way, is a pattern that does not exist.) The actual dishes used were Colclough Braganza, made by a division of Royal Doulton.

  • @Me-hs4jj
    @Me-hs4jj 2 роки тому +35

    It’s difficult and almost unheard of to parody a show that’s already a comedy, especially one as camp as this. French & Saunders always made light of dramas, thrillers and horrors, which made it funny as they were putting a ridiculous comedic spin on something so dark. So to spoof this show and pull it off so successfully (Hyacinth being a man in drag is a stroke of genius), is a huge achievement.

    This is a dutch tv show with all kind of parody's. The man who is playing Hyancinth(Carlo Boshard) is also playing Onslow. The woman who is playing Daisy is also playing Elisabeth(Irene Moors)
    They just overdo all the mannerisms and expressions and make a connection with the Netherlands(Frans Bouwer) that's why it makes it a parody. They love this show and that's why they made a parody of it

      Years ago I (from the US) was visiting a college friend who had married a Dutch guy and was living in the Hague. She said everyone there speaks three or four languages. I stupidly said "really?" She said "think about it". ".......Oh." Obviously a Dutch speaker can't go an hour or two away without being in a country with a different language.
      Also since post WWII occupation etc. English has become the default common language everywhere, conveniently for us. But that they got the accents of the characters pretty close was an achievement.
