Taking a somewhat 180 degree turn on the “where are they now” concept, I thought fans of Patricia Routledge and Hyacinth Bucket would enjoy a “what did they do before” moment with this pre-Keeping Up Appearances character from the Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV series that aired on the BBC in the mid-80’s.

Recorded some five years prior to the creation of Hyacinth Bucket, there were five episodes recorded of The Kitty Monologues. Don’t know about you, but I can definitely see the beginnings of a character trying to ‘keep up appearances’. In a word, brilliant!
