The show follows Hyacinth in her attempts to rise through the social classes, always getting exasperated by her family, who she considers lower class. 

Her husband Richard (Clive) was constantly troubled by her ways as he ferries her around in his Rover and answers to her constant calls of 'Riiiichard!!!'    

Richard would regularly roll his eyes when Hyacinth was furious whenever her surname was pronounced Bucket instead of Bouquet as she preferred.

As well as Keeping Up With Appearances, Clive also starred in Midsomer Murders, as well as a BBC adaptation of The Barchester Chronicles.

In December 2007, he appeared in the most watched ever episodes of a Doctor Who Christmas special as Mr Copper, alongside Kylie Minogue, with around 13million viewers.

One stand out moment for Clive was an interview with Doctor Who Magazine in 2007, which drew much attention due to his grumpy demeanour while discussing his character Mr Copper in special episode Voyage of the Damned.

Fans of the show were left tickled by the actor, who roasted the journalist by asking: 'Don't you know shorthand? Why should I do this? I'm not getting paid, am I?'

When asked about his character, the star countered: 'You don't need me to tell you that. Have you read the script? That's what I perform. You can tell them about my character. What a silly question.'

'One of the saddest things about the passing of the charming old character actor Clive Swift is that, in his absence, there'll be no obvious candidate to play the vicar at his funeral.' 

RIP: Clive was married to novelist Margaret Drabble between 1960 and 1975 and was father to daughter Rebecca, who sadly passed away in April 2017 from cancer

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
