S05 E04: A Riverside Picnic
Season 5, Ep. 4
•
Grab your dictionary and do your best to refuse our luxury invitation to a waterside supper with riparian entertainment, as William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith discuss the fourth episode of series 5 of Keeping Up Appearances, A Riverside Picnic. Hyacinth takes Richard on a day's outing by the river, much to the excitement of terrified neighbour Emmet. Hyacinth is inspired by this and plans a luxury day out and extends the invitation to her neighbours and the Vicar, who both fail to decline her RSVP.
