The Screen Addict Recommends โ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ๐
Hyacinth Bucket and Sybil Fawlty.
Patricia Routledge and Prunella Scales.
Two icons of the smaller screen who meant so much to me growing up.
๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐จ๐ฝ ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ and ๐๐ฎ๐๐น๐๐ ๐ง๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ were ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ sitcoms on ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ TV, way before binging and endless watchlists became the norm.
Weโd patiently wait a whole week for the next episode to air โ and it was ๐ข๐ญ๐ธ๐ข๐บ๐ด worth it.
These leading ladies taught me a lot about Comedy and timing, maybe even more than their equally magnificent male co-stars.
Sybil Fawlty was of particular significance in my formative years, because I had some kind of weird teenage crush on her...
Perhaps it was the skirt suit, I donโt know, but it definitely stuck with me later in my (dating) life.
In any event โ we lost both Patricia and Prunella this month at 96 and 93, respectively.
Life will definitely be less fun and attractive without them.
