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?

A Podcast Worthy of KUP

Such a fun podcast about one of the greatest sitcoms ever. The hosts are endlessly entertaining. Highly recommend!

Delightful retrospective on Hyacinth

This is an absolutely delightful, episode by episode look back at Hyacinth and her family and friends, designed to appeal to KEEPING UP APPEARANCES fans - and if you are not one, why not? Imagine that Sheridan and Tarquin grew up to create a very funny, very smart, very British podcast. And you’ll have some idea how good this is!
