Rocky, our old house had a stray cat who'd literally lived in a broken bucket in the backyard until we rescued him. Just a normal-looking B&W cat with medium-long hair. We started calling him "Mister Bucket" and from there it was only a matter of time before he became "Monsieur Bouquet."

My favourite (must spell with "U" in this case) scene was where Our Rose decided she was going to become a nun and went to get a recommendation from the Dishy Vicar while Emmett and Hyacinth were practicing for a recital in the parish hall (Hyacinth had pushed herself into Emmett's recital) and somehow Rose ends up in a storage closet with the vicar and falls on top of him. The vicar's wife comes in and says "Ex-cuse me!" to which Rose replies "It's all right! I'm going to be a nun!"

Well, Mrs. Quiscombe, I shall take up the matter with Mr. Rumcrawler immediately. However, do not expect anything to be done, since, as you know, nothing ever is.
(Perhaps Young Mr. Scooter can pop in to tell us we've all done very well. )

I haven't seen the other two, but I did enjoy To the Manor Born.
I also can't help watching Keeping Up Appearances, in spite of the fact that it's basically the same plot over and over. Hyacinth schemes to impress her neighbors, she makes Elizabeth drop her coffee cup in Hyacinth's kitchen, she forces Richard to do something impractical and dangerous, she's embarrassed by Daisy, Onslow, and Rose, she tries to impress the Vicar and/or Emmett, and all her schemes fly apart in her face.
Still, the cast is terrific and they make the most of thin material!

Then there was So Haunt Me about a family moving into a house that is haunted by the previous owner, a middle-aged Jewish woman. Hearing a British Jewish accent is something else.
Also funny is Father Ted

So many of those above I haven't even heard of. PBS, get with the programme!
Another show I adore is As Time Goes By.

I preferred Waiting for God to As Time Goes By. ATGB seemed to treaclely for my tastes.
