A nice country home.

Hyacinth has her heart set on a nice country cottage, she and Richard go in search of one, much to Elizabeth and Emmet's delight.

This definitely has some funny moments, and some very memorable moments. I wouldn't say it's a classic, but it's certainly funny.

First off, I wish I knew what this pair was worth, the characters that is, I know Hyacinth liked to think they were rich, but where they? To afford a second home, they must have been very comfortably off.

Several amusing moments, such as Rose asking how to spell Virgin, and Richard with the ceiling. The main jokes however, come from the really bizarre yokel, he really was quite something, scenes similar to those from the first episode, where The Major chased Hyacinth.

Funny, 7/10.

That creepy yokel

This is one Keeping Up Appearances I remember very well.

Memorable line of Hyacinth's with alliteration. Also when Elizabeth practising declining offer of coffee in appointment with her solicitor, "No, no, I can't! Not this morning, I'm soliciting!" Totally laugh my guts out!!!

If there's something I don't like in this episode of one of my favourite comedy sitcoms, it's that creepy farmer yokel sticking his head through passenger car window at Hyacinth, got some speech impediment, groped Hyacinth at her backside - hardly think that guy's any better than Major, or Bruce's friend Dorian or the Commodore in next few episodes (all men infatuated with Hyacinth).
