Actress Patricia Routledge, who plays Hyacinth Bucket in the BBC's Keeping Up Appearances, receives a CBE after a distinguished acting career.




There would be no stopping her if she could get one in her part as Hyacinth!

Hurrah! I love that show and I also like her new Series Hatty Winthrop Mysteries.
I am glad she got rewarded for her work.
Wish she was still making Keeping Up Apperances.

I love Hyacinth. She reminds me of my Mum.

Patricia Routledge came to Australia a few years ago and I saw her perform in "The Importance of Being Earnest". Who did she play? Lady Bracknell of course. She was superb in the role.

She deserves the award, but I have to say that the only place I see her show is on PBS and its been on for years and years, along with Are You Being Served. I'm sorry but when you can start saying the lines along with the actors its time to stop watching.....well maybe just once more.

Oh my God. Mine too! There is a couple times when Hyacinth says about not touching the walls - cracks me up everytime when my Mum says it.
