BBC sitcom Producer and Director, famous for Keeping Up Appearances, Dad's Army and The Dick Emery Show, takes us behind the scenes
Keeping Up Appearances has had five series (plus four Christmas specials), that were all produced and directed by Harold Snoad. His directing credits already included such classics as Dad's Army and The Dick Emery Show.
In this hugely entertaining memoir of the series, Snoad takes us behind the scenes and into the hurly-burly world of TV production - from location shooting in the city streets of Britain's Midlands and the glamorous lounges of the QE2, to the daily grind of schedules and rewrites and the shenanigans and foibles of the actors.
Witty and revealing, It's Bouquet - Not Bucket offers both an exclusive insight into great
British situation comedy, and a comprehensive guide to one of its greatest examples,
Keeping Up Appearances.
