Keeping Up Appearances: The Luxury Podcast

In this week's bonus episode, we have an update on the pressing items in our hosts' lives (Jonathan's glasses and William's cleaner). Plus, Jane McDonald's treatment of trick or treaters, whether a change of name by deed poll can ever be luxury, and how best to wash a bike jacket. A varied episode as always.

Runaway Vicars, Good Bants and Sex Ponds

In this week's episode, William and Jonathan compare their personal grooming routines and discover that one host's is far more lengthy than the other’s. On a semi-related note, they also discuss manscaping, before moving on to fragrances, cosmetic surgery and facial hair.

Personal Grooming

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.

Fainting Scares and Special Chairs

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.

Supermarkets

We've reached the halfway point for the second series of Keeping Up Appearances and, yet again, Hyacinth Bucket is having problems with her family. Daddy's heavily sedated and gone astray and Hyacinth's slovenly sister Daisy is admiring her sink. In our fifth episode of The Luxury Podcast, William Hanson and Jonathan Vernon-Smith discuss their own sink cleaning routines (yes, really) while debating the pros and cons of the episode.
