There are a few Onslows in my extended family...only without the dry wit and quirky charm.

'The Bouquet Residence. The Hare of the house speaking.'

Nope. Can't see it myself.

On the other hand, HareBucket...

BTW, I watched the first six episodes last night and it was as funny as I remember. I'd forgotten about Onslow's "Oh nice!".

Re: Shout your happy news to the world!!!

Keeping Up Appearances is shown here on sunday nights on PBS - the local public broadcasting station. I only caught part of the episode, but they were line dancing around the yard and then disappeared into the woods for a bit of whoopie. Hilarious!

Now if they would just show Black Adder, Monty Python, and Fawlty Towers again, my life would be complete! LOL!

There's some happy news for ya!
