Patricia Routledge Quotes

• [on her character Hyacinth Bucket] The basic premise of Hyacinth is pretension and that’s the source of so much comedy. While attempting to be a social climber, she also had to deal with members from the other side of her family like Onslow, who sat around in his string vest drinking beer. In a way, the show was a microcosm for society.
• [on the cancellation of Hetty Wainthropp Investigates (1996)] We were betrayed by the BBC. We finished series four of Hetty Wainthropp, we were told there was going to be series five. But no word ever came – how rude! The BBC is run by 10-year-old children.

• When I approach the pearly gates, I’d like to hear a champagne cork popping, an orchestra tuning up, and the sound of my mother laughing.
• I don’t think you can go it alone. There is a positive force for good outside oneself, call it God if you like, that has the strength to turn darkness into light.
