Throughout the sitcom's five series (plus four Christmas specials), the producer and director was Harold Snoad, whose 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 a great British institution - the situation comedy - and a comprehensive guide to one of its greatest examples, Keeping Up Appearances, with full plot synopses, cast lists and locations. Like the series before it, it's a book that looks set to gain its own band of avid admirers.

This was twice nominated for a BAFTA and, in 1995, won Holland's prestigious Silver Tulip Award.
As a writer, Harold Snoad adapted 66 episodes of Dad's Army for the radio before writing two original comedy series for that medium, as well as a series for television starring Richard Wilson and Bernard Cribbins. After 38 years with BBC Television, he has now returned to the theatre and recently directed the stage play Say Who You Are. He has also given a number of talks on cruise liners, mainly the QE2 but others as well, about television comedy. He is the author of the BBC publication Directing Situation Comedy (1988).
