A Good Laugh

Recently discovered and thoroughly enjoying 'Keeping Up Appearances: The Luxury Podcast'! I can't get enough of the humor and banter between William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith. It’s always filled with laughs and great insights into the series. It's become my go-to for a good chuckle!

Fun Breakdown of the Classic Britcom

The many dimensions to KUA are explored in this seriously funny episode-by-episode review. The hosts dissect the inventive writing and dramatization of the show’s compelling characters. The conversation is interspersed with fun facts from the show’s director along with entertaining experiences in the hosts lives relatable to characters and plots in the show. I am sad to think they are almost out of episodes to review, it’s a really enjoyable listen.
Notes: Jonathan does a spot-on Hyacinth impersonation.
I hope you fellas take on another show to breakdown, since it’s been mentioned, perhaps Frazier?
