The show stars Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket, the pompous and self-serving central woman obsessed by perfection, image and etiquette, and also includes performances from Clive Swift as her calm, tolerant and long-suffering husband, Richard Bucket, and Josephine Tewson as a friendly pushover neighbour who lives with her brother, played by David Griffin, who is continually fearful of Hyacinth's presence. Judy Cornwell, Geoffrey Hughes and Mary Millar play Hyacinth's relatives whose working-class presence she is continually fearful of.

Broadcast between 1990 and 1995 on BBC One, the sitcom spawned five series and forty-four episodes—four of which are Christmas specials. Enhanced by Routledge's receipt of two BAFTA nominations for her performance, Keeping Up Appeances received abundant success in its native origin while captivating a large audience in the US and Australia, but production ceased in 1995 when Routledge wanted to move on to other projects. Since its original release, all five series—including Christmas specials—are available on DVD. Its original success has been reinforced by its regular repetition worldwide (PBS in the US; BBC One and G.O.L.D. in the UK) and when, in 2004, the sitcom was ranked 12th in the countdown of Britain's Best Sitcom.

Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge)—who insists her surname is pronounced Bouquet—is a social-climbing snob who passes her time visiting stately homes, hosting "executive-style" candlelight suppers (with her Royal Worcester double-glazed Avignon china and Royal Doulton china with "the hand-painted periwinkles"), bragging of her "white slimline telephone with automatic redial", and maintaining the integrity of her woodblock floor, wallpaper, and status in the community, name-dropping at any hint of an opportunity.
