And I loved that shaggy dog who lived in the junker in the front garden. It would scare the heck out of Hyacinth with its barking. It looks like Gremlin on Doc Martin.
I absolutely loved this show. Seldom does one get to see a show in which all of the actors are individually funny as well as funny in group settings. I live in America and I find that British comedy is so much better than ours because it reminds me of a time when comedy was funny, not raunchy. Because of this show, I started to look for other British comedies and I found that there were quite a few, like The Black Adder, Fawlty Towers, As Time Goes By, Are You Being Served and several others, but Keeping Up Appearances is my absolute favorite, so much so that I purchased the entire series on DVD. What a great show.
finally we americans can get to know the actors behind the characters on "keeping up appearances". it is a joy to see them talking about their lives and about the sitcom we've come to love.
Completely agree - I love the standards such as Keeping Up Appearances, Vicar of Dibley, To The Manor Born, No Honestly, Good Neighbors, and others... great, brilliant writing and excellent actresses and actors. All Classic.
Waiting For God about real characters inhabiting a retirement village loving laughing adventuring, fighting off fear and finding new adventures in our later years! It's marvelous! Romantic and hilarious, starring Stephanie Cole's and Graham Crowdon oh my such chemistry, he was 86 playing 86, she was 50 playing 66 but check my facts everyone should see this in their 40s and every year for the rest of your life!😋
Scripts have gone so far down, that it can't get worse. They covered all manners of depravity on sitcoms (US) so they (I haven't watched TV for several yrs, and don't miss it at all). I watch old series on You Tube.
I think Sex in the City was crude & unwatchable. And I didn’t watch it. There was no finesse on that show. We got rid of cable tv because of the smut and crap on it.
Judy’s character on Keeping Up is a character like no other, and she does it brilliantly! Oh, they are ALL brilliant. Without brilliant writing, there’s nothing to watch between commercials. Buy the DVD set! Brilliant, I tell you.
I absolutely LOVED this show (Keeping Up Appearances) and it's fascinating to hear the contributions the actors made to developing the roles. I absolutely agree: the script writing set this show apart (particularly from modern ones now).
+Wes Benter i sort of agree but it's all subjective really. even without the genre restrictions TV has always been a hit or miss... and these days we have reality tv which wouldn't even be so bad if there wouldn't be SO MUCH OF IT like reality shows about everything! REALITY SHOWS ABOUT PEOPLE WATCHING TELEVISION I AM NOT SHITTING YOU THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT IN MY COUNTRY WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HUMANITY?! *ahem* sorry about that.
I agree Wes! I started watching "Keeping Up Appearances" when I was in 7th grade (around 1995. My partner and I still watch her. We just call the show Hyacinth. :-)
I remember Judy Cornwall in Moody and Pegg from the 70’s. I must have enjoyed it as I remember it so well !! Maybe it’ll resurface on Talking Pictures ☺️
I loved all the cast of Keeping up appearances :) Wonderful people and extremely tallented actors. I have so much pity that ale the series was so short...
you are so right on the scripts they make today i have said it so many times all they know how to do is put swearing in instead of coming up with a good shows which i don't watch at all.i love all the older shows they have a great script and no swearing,and most of all class and also i love british shows most of all they are so funny without swearing ,i just love this interview with you .you were my favorite person on your show
There was scene where Daisy is reading a romance novel, Onslow says "why d'ya keep read'n stuff like that?" Daisy: Because it's me last foothold in romance, I get very little practice, so I can a least keep abreast of theory"
Believe it or not, most people in the US have senses of humor that closely aligns with British humor. Unfortunately, the vocal (and wealthy) minority in our country decided that things must be over the top to squeeze a laugh out of viewers.
I wish KUA was on here where I live. I don’t know if it’s on anywhere in the states. I loved this show, Are You Being Served, Doc, Reggie Perrin, and so many more britcoms. We have Britbox here in the US now, and I will be subscribing to it.
I agree with Judy... Rude/ cruel/ crude... that stuff gets old so so quick. I just don't understand it.

Keeping up appearances was great show! ...Anyone remember Daisy's horrid dish rag? Hahahaha! I'm from the Chicago area (midway between the city and the cornfields to the west) and until I saw Daisy and Onslow's awful home and neighborhood I pretty much assumed that the entirety of England looked like the Yorkshire Dells in All creatures great and small. How wrong I was. lol
Miss Judy, you lovely lady. I will never forget Ounslow in London West End production Run for your Wife, that time worlds longest running comedy show at it's 9th year.
Judy speaks FACTS!!!! The classics are the best. Modern comedies if you could call them that simply can't compare. Vulgarity, sweating and nudity doesn't equal talent.
It's not just that a lack of talent that brings them down but alot of the comedians and celebrities today shoot themselves in the arm for coming out and making a political statement about climate change, black lives matters, diversity or LGBT etc. Robert Deniro, Barbara Streisand, Jack Black just to name a few. Why can't they just shut up and keep their political views to themselves, politics and religion are private matters. I lose all respect for them once they start shooting their mouths off in public about political matters or pushing their own agenda. I have to admit Patricia Routledge and Judy Cornwell are not part of this elite cancel culture that want to bring back communism and take away our freedom, these old actors and actresess know how to respect their fanbase.
I totally agree. Writers don't know how to do great scripts without swearing.. look at golden girls and frazier.i always watch keeping up appearances and as time goes by. Very little is funny on u s tv today. I watch very little tv now.
Bit of trivia: I forget the name of the film, offhand, but a young Judy Cornwell plays girlfriend to Fabian (the 60s singing heartthrob/wannabe actor) in a movie where Fabian is an up and coming race car driver. Yes, at the start of her career, Ms Cornwell played "ingenue" parts. BTW, not really sure Hyacinth was the brainy sister, she was just the one who had ideas about how she thought HER world should function. Some of her ideas were somewhat daft. And Daisy and Rose? I have sisters like them, well, Hyacinth too, I suppose. But Daisy is our favorite. And Rose? We put up with her quirks. Hyacinth? We often wonder if she was adopted.
So maddening how they have death on google about her,.She never died,.Pisses me off that crap,.They have it on alot of folks,.Love these ladie's,.Daisy is my fave with her Onslow, who saddly did pass away, with Rose,.Actually both Rose's passed,.Hyancinth is a superb lady, awesome actress,.I never knew she was in so many role's of movie's, theatre's,.probably cause I'm not from the U.K. thankfully,.but u just don't hear about these folks in America,.
L. J.P. When I was a kid, I saw British films all the time on W-OR, Channel 9 in Ct. Now you guys see almost nada British, & British English is considered a "foreign language"! You CAN get two hours of British fiction on Public Television Saturday evenings. Now I live in Europe, I am exposed to many different countries' films, series...
Agree totally....little talent today when it comes to genuine comedy, most is crude and poorly written. Traditional British comedy has always been tasteful and never vulgar, funny with out being crude and written with intelligence, same for older American comedy shows also with greats like Carol Burnett, etc. Today's stuff is rubbish so we don't watch any of it, give me the old stuff any day!
that scene when Judy Cornwell and Geoffrey Hughes were in bed together and Onslow was talking about Daisy being a Liverpool supporter, that scene just killed me hahaha! Onslow was so offended lol. Being a Liverpool supporter myself I just loved that scene
I loved the scenes when Onslow woke up in bed and told Daisy how he kept having nightmares about Richard being in the clutches of a big horrible monster who wouldn't let him go lol.
I miss the show on Saturday evenings I would try to act. Out on the p hone when my Friend would call, (I have caller Id),so I would go into the act, "Bucket residence man of the house speaking.
so true that profanity is an indicator of bad writing. wish Hollywood would get that message so we can safely return to the cinema. last three movies I've gone to, I've asked for my money back and rec'd it. good scripts are full of ideas and concepts and talent...that's worth watching!
I agree with her too. Personally, I blame the lack of decent scripts on nepotism. Some crude idiot with no talent - but whose dad or uncle has the power to get him hired - gets a job writing, and all of the "yes-men" in the system tell him and his influential relatives how "brilliant" he is. Then other people imitate his "style" hoping to sell their stuff to the same market, and the standard drops like a rock. It's a shame.
she sounds almost quite posh compared to her character in the sitcom. intersting views. dylan moran, stewart lee and norm macdonald all swear but no one would say they are crude, or lack wit or intelligence. lee and macdonald are so razor sharp, they are considered comedians' comedians. moran is the most lyrical, intellectual and poetic stand up comedian's i've ever seen. I am not against swearing as long as its not a substitute for good writing; judy is certainly right about that. i think it's a big world and there is enough space to accommodate types of comic tastes. there cannot be value judgements in the arts.
You don't seem to comprehend the genius it takes to pull all of these characters off! Without their responses to Hyacinth or the sisters hyperthroidal responses to their own lives & their sister,, these highly trained & skilled actors would have nothing anyhere near as exhilerating as Hyacinth is to react off of! She & her insane pretentions are the glue; they all respond their own ways to her nutty ideas! Richard, I believe, secretly thrives on the chaos that seems to attend Hyacinth's every project! His work is dull, and everything she does is bigger than life; she has an ersatz fantasy that Richard likes being part of or he would leave her! She is utterly deluded but each sister and her husband is deluded as well! Richard is well taken care of & she is a cozy armful! & he knows she would be utterly unable to survive alone! I loved the episode showing the softer side of Hyacinth when she gets high on some estate sale wine the duchess made they all have some & Hyacinth calls the wine by a number of malaprops! Swell episode I felt fond of her! She is a classicly trained actress and singer Which is rare in this world!
@@carolvogelman5261 .. What the hell is your rant all about? Did I say anything against Hyacinth? I listed my favorite characters, nothing more. Yes, they played off Hyacinth. That's obvious. But that doesn't change my appreciation of those characters. I also don't agree with your assessment of Richard (a lot stronger than you imply), but that's not the point here.
Comedians who use swear words do it to boost the audience's attention. It is just a manipulation, like picking out someone in the front row and going back to him/her every time the jokes stop working. The swearing often sounds forced, I think. "Gratuitous" is the word that comes to mind.
Judy is spot on about modern comedies in the main, they seem crass, base, nasty and frankly boring, I'd sooner eat burnt toast than watch Ali G, Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr and that ilk. I'm only 47 but prefer the classic, surreal, inventive and thoughtful comedies from Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, Dick Van Dyke Show, and classic animation, although We Bare Bears is fantastic. KUA was a marvellous show, the actors got so much out of the script, bringing it to life in the most perfect way possible, it was cosy, quick, a social satire and some great one liners, and the scene with Daddy in the spacesuit never fails to make me laugh. Poor Daisy eh with Onslow, never got the attention she deserved, he was too busy with the horses and Open University books lol.
Judy Cornwell is a brilliant actress. Even though I've seen the series "Keeping Up Appearances" over-and-over, I still watch it.
Judy Cornwell is so generous with her input and praise of other actors. Her critiques of certain styles of writing are spot on.
LOVED! Judy Cornwell in 'Keeping Up Appearances' !!
Judy Cornwell and Geoffrey Hughs made me laugh on "Keeping Up Appearances." Daisy and Onslow did it for me.
Oh nice! 😂🤣😂
And I loved that shaggy dog who lived in the junker in the front garden. It would scare the heck out of Hyacinth with its barking. It looks like Gremlin on Doc Martin.
I absolutely loved this show. Seldom does one get to see a show in which all of the actors are individually funny as well as funny in group settings. I live in America and I find that British comedy is so much better than ours because it reminds me of a time when comedy was funny, not raunchy.

What a great show.
Have you watched Last of the Summer Wine? It is delightful, especially seasons 4 on.
I also have the entire series on DVD. Bought it years ago. I love Call the Midwife as well and have season 1-12 on DVD.
great great show ...... every one on the show are just quality and excellent performers ,,,,,, really miss Onslow ,,,,,, 10/10 .
Thanks everybody.
Judy Cornwall, you have just described American tv brilliantly! Thank you from an American!

@@carolvogelman5261 Loved that show as well. I watch the British TV series on the USA PBS TV station.
Hm Vicar of Dibley was flat out dirty. Constant sex jokes are ok but swearing isn’t?
I agree with Judy ! Comedy these days is to crude and often very dark and cruel 😢
Touché, Judy! Especially on the writing being funny without all the swearing.
I miss keeping up appearances :'(
I have the entire series on DVD.
This is an enormous hit here in the States. Thank you for posting. Always enjoy a look behind the characters, a peek at the real people. Thanks again.
Love Love Love Judy ..every Saturday night I HAVE to watch Keeping Up Appearances since I first found them in the early 90's God Bless them all
Fantastic actress, she will always be Daisy to me.
Rumpole of the Bailey (TV Series)
- Rumpole and the Official Secret (1987)
... Rosemary Tuttle
Gary Daniel Miss Marple episode, I think it was called "The mirror cracked twice".
She did a great mrs . Claus to
You are so right.. Her character of Daisy ( 'Dais' to Onslow) will always shine through . She portrayed such a loving caring person
Also Anya Claus Santa's wife in Santa Claus The Movie

💓
I am proud to be a Brit. This interview is so interesting. Such articulate opinions well expressed.
Such a great series, "Keeping Up Appearances", and what a great cast.
She's so right about the scripts lacking, and the swearing ,just about everything!
Mi Mo

Ik! Been going through the DVD set which cheers spirits up ☆♡
Im still watching Keeping up Appearances,,love u Judy💜
She is so right about newer TV fare.
I absolutely LOVED this show (Keeping Up Appearances) and it's fascinating to hear the contributions the actors made to developing the roles. I absolutely agree: the script writing set this show apart (particularly from modern ones now).

and these days we have reality tv which wouldn't even be so bad if there wouldn't be SO MUCH OF IT
like reality shows about everything! REALITY SHOWS ABOUT PEOPLE WATCHING TELEVISION I AM NOT SHITTING YOU THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT IN MY COUNTRY WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HUMANITY?! *ahem* sorry about that.
I agree Wes! I started watching "Keeping Up Appearances" when I was in 7th grade (around 1995. My partner and I still watch her. We just call the show Hyacinth. :-)
Totally agree Wes. The show achieved success because of the high class comedy, minus the crude swearing.
I adore Judy Cornwell.
I remember Judy Cornwall in Moody and Pegg from the 70’s. I must have enjoyed it as I remember it so well !! Maybe it’ll resurface on Talking Pictures ☺️
The complete series of Moody and Pegg was released on DVD About ten or so odd years ago!
I love that Judy picked the cardigan herself ♥️
Miss Cornwell is brilliant!
What a fantastic person. She is such a great actress.❤️
Oh Daisy 👍😂😂great actor, forever remembered.
I really like her in keeping up appearances
I really love this show. A joy to learn more about it.
I loved all the cast of Keeping up appearances :) Wonderful people and extremely tallented actors. I have so much pity that ale the series was so short...
I was fortunate to see this great lady on the stage in The Bed Before Yesterday.
Judy I agree WITH everything YOU said,, 💯AND DAME Patricia Routedge, also
you are so right on the scripts they make today i have said it so many times all they know how to do is put swearing in instead of coming up with a good shows which i don't watch at all.i love all the older shows they have a great script and no swearing,and most of all class and also i love british shows most of all they are so funny without swearing ,i just love this interview with you .you were my favorite person on your show
The Golden Girls (US) had tons of cursing and was absolutely brilliant.
There was scene where Daisy is reading a romance novel, Onslow says "why d'ya keep read'n stuff like that?" Daisy: Because it's me last foothold in romance, I get very little practice, so I can a least keep abreast of theory"
I love that scene!
Is that the one with
“If I wore a saddle, perhaps you would pay more attention to me.”
“I never go for the real outsiders.”
BRILLIANT
Mills and boon 📖
I love all the episodes of the series
My favourite show ❤
Just found this . I love that show and everyone in it.
I met Judy and her husband at the NEC in march and she's an absolutely lovely lady, wonderful person to talk to :)
I really love that the USA crowd 🇺🇸
L❤VE this beloved show of ours 🇬🇧
Believe it or not, most people in the US have senses of humor that closely aligns with British humor. Unfortunately, the vocal (and wealthy) minority in our country decided that things must be over the top to squeeze a laugh out of viewers.
Love you "Daisy and Onslow!!
KUA, and SYBS are my favorite! Love you! I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really like to listen to mrs. Cornwell, she has so nice voice really :P
Such a nice person and great actor!
She's right, too many comedies rely on swearing.
I wish KUA was on here where I live. I don’t know if it’s on anywhere in the states. I loved this show, Are You Being Served, Doc, Reggie Perrin, and so many more britcoms. We have Britbox here in the US now, and I will be subscribing to it.

sandra clift I certainly do! How could I not!
Just start watching her darama keeping up appearance. On third season n its vv nice
I love BBC comedy, especially "viscous" and" keeping up with appearance"!
I caught Judy as the Embassy secretary in "Cry Freedom".
Ah Judy, you speak so much sense! It's all nudity, swearing, and violence now. I don't know when it seeped through, but it did.
I miss the show on Saturday evenings I would try to act. Out on the p hone when my Friend would call, (I have caller Id),so I would go into the act, "Bucket residence man of the house speaking.

Great actress
Ofcourse Daisy would watch "Sex and the City".
Love Judy. Smart lady too.
Interesting how she doesn’t like swearing in modern comedies and yet when you watch the bloopers of keeping up appearances she swears all the time.
She was also Anya Claus in Santa Claus The Movie
Aww she was great as mrs clause in santa clause the movie xx
British comedy is very funny luv them
Daissssssyyyy!❤️
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,
If I wasn't a fan before, Judy declaring that she preferred Keaton to Chaplin would've won me over. (But I was a fan before.)
Great l wasn’t sure about her writing l have read her books
so true that profanity is an indicator of bad writing. wish Hollywood would get that message so we can safely return to the cinema. last three movies I've gone to, I've asked for my money back and rec'd it. good scripts are full of ideas and concepts and talent...that's worth watching!
Over that? Seriously?

when is this interview from? thanks
Love her❣️🥰
I would love to read one of her books.
Very good books indeed.
Love you Daisy
Din not mean I disliked Golden girls and fraizer. I loved those as apposed to today's work. Like Daisy I read a lot!
She was really good in Santa Claus The Movie 😁
@MrAlsfan5 okay i take back what i said. I miss seeing these series. Hopefully they will make it onto DVDs :D
she sounds almost quite posh compared to her character in the sitcom. intersting views. dylan moran, stewart lee and norm macdonald all swear but no one would say they are crude, or lack wit or intelligence. lee and macdonald are so razor sharp, they are considered comedians' comedians. moran is the most lyrical, intellectual and poetic stand up comedian's i've ever seen.
