The Luxury Podcast
S02 E01: A Strange Man
Season 2, Ep. 1
•
The Luxury Podcast returns for Series 2 of Keeping Up Appearances, as William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith continue their journey through the hit 90s BBC sitcom. In the words of JVS, the second spell of episodes is when this series really starts 'cooking on gas', and it's no different for the podcast. Hyacinth Bucket is shocked to find a strange man outside Elizabeth's door which begins a journey of discovery for the true identity of this mystery male. And it's Jonathan who has his own tales of shocking neighbours, stories that if Hyacinth were to hear them would really send her into a tizz!
