    God - how I love her. To have had such a stunning voice - and to have used it for comedy - just knocks me out. Her 1965 recording of "Climb Every Mountain" is the best version of that song I've ever heard. It just soars. In all her interviews and appearances - she is so gracious (but still very funny) - she truly is a national living treasure, and should be protected at all costs. 💖

      It’s cool though she proved you don’t have to be young to accomplish something new. She reached a whole new generation because of her legendary comedy skills on that show. She is simply amazing, I really really wish they would have did more episodes, it was such a perfect ensemble of actors, even the guest ones like Mrs Fortescue and Councillor nugent were amazing. Patricia kind of reminds me of Bea Arthur on the golden girls. Bea had a long and legendary career too and also brought something new to the table at an age when most people are done. I still watch repeats of both those shows when I feel nostalgic.

      What about the phenomenal monologues she performed by Alan Bennett !!!! Very serious acting. She didn't only do comical stage and tv-work. Hetty Waintropp (TV series)was also serious and an enormous contrast with Keeping up App. Very wisely chosen by her after the Hyacinth-period. She also played in the Search of the Bronte Sisters and read Wuthering Heights (audiobook) , played in a TV-film about Hildegard of Bingen and 101 other things. Her LP with easy listening songs (when very young) already showed her singing qualities, although this album is non-classical. She was so all-round, cann't think of a lady with such a fan of different artistic qualities. And that is said by a Dutchman! As you see, we also followed her from the continent. Bless her!

    Dame Patricia Routledge is a very talented actress, singer, comedian, and entertainer! I love the classic television sitcom Keeping Up Appearances where she portrays Hyacinth Bucket pronounced Bouquet! I love her and the entire cast in Keeping Up Appearances! I watch Keeping Up Appearances on PBS here in the United States over and over again! I see a strong hint of the character Hyacinth Bucket pronounced Bouquet in this classic and extremely delightful, excellent performance of I Want to Sing in Opera! Patricia Routledge also appeared in the 1967 movie To Sir, With Love. After the fifth, final and last season of the classic television sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, she portrayed Heddie Wynthrop, an amateur detective for two seasons. It was a very good show! I wish that Keeping Up Appearances had lasted at least three more seasons. It would have been fun to meet Richard Bucket's family! Patricia Routledge decided to end the classic television sitcom Keeping Up Appearances because she didn't want people to tire of it! She also felt that that Hyacinth Bucket pronounced Bouquet should show a less annoying side and that the audience needed to meet Richard Bucket's family and how Hyacinth Bucket pronounced Bouquet acted around them! Patrica Routledge also won a Tony for a musical on Broadway! I personally own every episode of Keeping Up Appearances on Video Tape and DVD! Thank you for posting and sharing this classic funny and entertaining performance!

    To be talented is not a blessing it is the result of very hard work , to be talented and yet remain humble about it and not talk about the hard work, not even let it show , is the mark of a real artist. But being extremely talented , not brag about it, remain humble , never mention the hard work AND on top of that joke about it and make a fool of oneself deliberately while clowning about , is the mark of a goddess .
    This lady is the epitome of class . Every artist could learn from her, starting with merryl streep who is immensely talented but could use a little humility and quit the bullshit false modesty .
