Keeping Up Appearances: The Luxury Podcast

In this week's bonus, William and Jonathan's friendship is put to the ultimate test. In JVS's words, they've never been so close to falling out - and it's not even a main episode. Tensions ease slightly when the two consider how best to deal with unruly aeroplane passengers, pest infestations, and glasses.

Persistent Pests and Fryer Fallouts

William and Jonathan attempt to put a luxury spin on spooky season. The two cover everything from the fancy dress of Jonathan's youth, to the most effective way of dispersing trick or treaters (hint: you first need firearm training). Plus, William shares a story from his party, of a very unconventional tribute to the late Patricia Routledge.

Halloween

Fainting Scares and Special Chairs

In this week's episode, William and Jonathan explore their pet hates - of which there are many, of course.

Pet Hates

In this week's bonus episode, William gives a very important update about his new alarm system - and Jonathan is himself alarmed to discover his may be less executive than he had thought. Plus, the two critique Jonathan's new glasses, hear from alumni from their old schools, and give a very lovely live rendition of the podcast theme.

Ancient Alarms and Multifocal Mirth

In this week's episode, William and Jonathan consider the biggest question of them all: how to have a luxury death. The two plan their funerals in great detail, with Mary Poppins, Macho Macho Man and Blame It On The Bossa Nova all making an appearance. Plus, there's great excitement when inspiration strikes for Luxury Live.

Funerals

In this week's bonus episode, William and Jonathan compare notes on how to pick the most thorough and executive cleaner. Jonathan puts himself forward as William's chambermaid, and much haggling over price ensues. Plus, a listener writes in with a very alarming dream, and Jonathan's filthy headboard returns.

Headboard Schemes and Deathly Dreams

Follow Jonathan and William down the aisle in this week's episode, all about supermarkets. The two reflect on the different shop names, what they say about a person, and what the most executive supermarket really is. It's not all British brands - Mercadona of course makes an appearance, and William tries out his French and Latin. Plus, the two create the Luxury Supermarket, for the upper class shopper.

Dame Patricia Routledge (1929 - 2025)

In this week's bonus episode, William and Jonathan kick things off with an update on their social calendars, before a very in-depth discussion on the most executive way to present toilet rolls in one's bathroom. Plus, the two take on a rude restaurant goer, and JVS pays homage to his favourite soap.

Restaurant Rudeness and Luxurious Lathering

Brush up on your royal protocol and prepare to curtsy as William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith discuss the final ever episode of Keeping Up Appearances, 'The Pageant'. Hyacinth takes the lead for the church’s annual pageant ‘Our Town In The Civil War.’ Disaster strikes when Hyacinth realises all the volunteers have made wild excuses and not turned up, so she is forced to recruit the less desirable members of the family.
