‘PLEASE MIND YOUR HEAD’

Please feel free to comment on my review.

This ‘Keeping Up Appearances’ episode has to be best one out of the series! Following on from the previous episode, Hyacinth and Richard are now staying at their little apartment in a country house. But Richard is unhappy. He’s concerned about how they’re going to afford their place in the country.

He also finds that he and Hyacinth are living up in the roof and the place they’re in is very small. I found it very funny when Hyacinth and Richard were climbing up the stairs. The first staircase is fine. The second staircase is a little narrow. The third staircase is quite a challenge to reach the top. Hmm!

I love Richard’s line in this episode where he says to Hyacinth, “I feel boxed in!” Hyacinth doesn’t see that their little country home is too small, despite banging her head on the ceiling and her and Richard getting stuck in the kitchen. It was funny when they got unstuck and Hyacinth spilt the milk.

Elizabeth and Emmet are invited down to the country by Hyacinth. I felt sorry for Elizabeth and Emmet in the episode. Early on, they; David Janson as the postman; and Robert Rawles as the milkman were happy about the fact that Hyacinth had gone for a few days. Only she would ruin it. 😦

Hyacinth and Richard also get dressed up in their riding gear. Richard finds it uncomfortable wearing his Wellington boots. He feels he’s walking in drainpipes. It was amusing and naughty of Emmet to suggest that they go riding. But Hyacinth can’t ride a horse, despite giving the impression she can. 😀

However, she has a go at trying to prove to Elizabeth and Emmet that she can ride a horse. This results disastrously with Hyacinth on a horse. I found it funny when Hyacinth was helped on her horse by Richard. It was also very funny when Hyacinth rode the horse out of control in the episode.

Eventually, they return back to Hyacinth and Richard’s home. Elizabeth and Emmet find it small too. It was funny when Emmet got his head stuck in the ceiling after Liz spilt her lemonade onto him. Hyacinth and Richard manage to get a sharp knife for Emmet to set him free from the low ceiling. 😀

Onslow, Daisy and Rose eventually turn up whilst Daddy stays downstairs in the car. Hyacinth’s guests soon get stuck in the kitchen and she suggests that Elizabeth calls the emergency services. I don’t know if Hyacinth and Richard give up their country home. It never returns again in the series. 🙂

‘Please Mind Your Head’ rating – 10/10
