Patricia Routledge DEAD

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Soldi]

NO!

 

[Eddie]

 

[Sheena]

AWWWW

 

[Ellie]

 

[Rita]

Oh no. She was FABULOUS!

 

[Kala]

Oh that's a shame.

 

[Agneeta]

What an icon. I do occasionally pop an old Keeping Up Appearances episode on, they really are great fun.

Hope she's enjoying a candlelight supper wherever she is.

 

[ButterTart]

That’s so weird! I just fell into a hedge after a dog barked at me from a disused car and I thought ‘that’s a sign’.

Fair play to her, she had a hell of an innings.

 

[VoR]

An icon

 

[Rita]

I didn’t realise she was still quite as active right up until earlier this year. She was touring theatres discussing her career in June.

 

[Agneeta]

Hopefully her and Betty are back together.

 

[Star]

Awww

 

[Suedehead]

No!!!!!!!!!

 

[Suedehead]

I shall host a luxury outdoors indoors barbecue in her honour this weekend


SHERIDAN!!!!!!!

 

[VoR]

Is there anyone left from the main cast of Keeping Up Appearances now?

 

[jivafox]

Aww.

A Lady of Letters still remains on of the best things ever.

 

[ButterTart]

Lest we forget Elizabeth only had three years of peace up there before Hyacinth arrived. Overreacting to a friendly neighbour and having an aneurysm over a teacup with the angles.

 

[Sheena]

First day I met her, she said “I’m a radical feminist lesbian”

I thought “What would the Queen Mum do”

So I just smiled and said “We shall have fog by tea-time”

 

[Ellie]

Angus Deayton

Emmett and Daisy I think, which is ridiculous when they were all of an age by the time I even started.

 

[Sheena]

David Griffin is definitely still going.

 

[Ellie]

Angus Deayton

Edit, that was One Foot In The Grave. UGH. Always get them mixed up.

 

[ButterTart]

Edit, that was One Foot In The Grave. UGH. Always get them mixed up.

Just remember - one featured a middle aged homosexual playing someone with a put-upon spouse and who was hated by their neighbours and the other… oh shit, wait…

 

[Kate]

 

[Kate]

Yeah Daisy and Emmet are both in their 80s now and of course the DISHY VICAR is still going.

 

[octophone]

 

[octophone]

Puts this morning's Swift drama into perspective.

 

[Kala]

Yeah Daisy and Emmet are both in their 80s now and of course the DISHY VICAR is still going.

The vicar's wife too - wasn't she Jacqueline in Benidorm? Janine Duvitski.

That was One Foot In The Grave too

 

[Cloud]

96?!
But that show was my childhood, she must have been like, in her late 50s? She never looked it.

Sure makes me feel old though.

Good innings, RIP.

 

[Sardonicus]

Great innings, a gifted comedienne & actress. Keeping Up Appearances is still funny because we all know a Hyacinth.

My friend got to present her with a bouquet of flowers at a school assembly & of course made the inevitable bouquet/bucket joke (you'd have to really given that GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY)

 

[VV]

Oh no that's sad

 

[Kate]

Good innings, RIP.

It started in 1990 so she would have been 61 already

 

[Agneeta]

Must be such a thrill to become a household name at that age.

 

[Rita]

Why did it end after 5 seasons do we know? Did it come to a natural end or did ratings plummet?

Pat wanted to go out on a high before it got stale & also to try other stuff like Hetty Wainthropp.

 

[Agneeta]

Five series is a pretty strong run.

It was somewhat diminishing returns by the end as I recall.

 

[Agneeta]

So versatile.



Mainly posted to discuss how weird the concept of MILK BARS were.

"Let's meet up for a nice cold MILK"

 

[Eddie]

Why is T*yl*r SW*ft being mentioned in a Patricia Routledge (RIP ICON) thread? The IGNOMINY.
