S04 E03: A Celebrity for The Barbecue

Season 4, Ep. 3

Enemies and villains come in all shapes and sizes: Darth Vader, Lord Voldemort, Norman Bates; Nurse Ratched… and now, Sonia Barker-Finch. Hyacinth tries to get one up on her neighbour by inviting the garden centre king round for an outdoors indoors luxury barbecue (with finger buffet). Relax with a frappé mint julep and enjoy William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith’s discussion of one of the all-time greatest episodes of Keeping Up Appearances.
