Keeping Up Appearances is rightly regarded as a TV classic more than 30 years after it first aired. The sitcom, starring Patricia Routledge as class-obsessed Hyacinth Bucket, is fondly remembered by viewers and still repeated by the BBC today.
Hyacinth - who lived with her husband Richard and insisted her surname was pronounced 'bouquet' - was nothing if not houseproud, perennially seen with a duster in hand and inordinately protective of her "Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles". And the house where the comedy was filmed remains something of a tourist attraction today.
The programme was filmed in many locations across the West Midlands but two of the show's most famous shots are in Coventry, reports CoventryLive. Hyacinth's famous house, along with the property where her neighbours Elizabeth and Emmet lived, are located on Heather Road in Binley Woods.
