The Bouquet residence....

What would you guess to be the BBC's most popularly exported programme?  That is, the programme which has been sold to the greatest number of overseas broadcasters. I think I would have guessed that it would be a comedy show, but I think I would have gone for "Only Fools And Horses" or maybe "Porridge". I would not have thought of "Keeping Up Appearances", and yet that is the right answer, with nearly a thousand sales to its name.  The writer of the programme suggests that its popularity is down to the fact that "everyone knows a Hyacinth".
