Editing Keeping Up Appearances (section)

===''Comedy Connections''===
In 2004, the documentary series ''[[Comedy Connections]]'' featured an episode dedicated to ''Keeping Up Appearances''. Stars Clive Swift, Josephine Tewson, Judy Cornwell and David Griffin, along with writer [[Roy Clarke]] and producer/director [[Harold Snoad]], all discussed the series. Clips from an interview with Patricia Routledge from 2002 were also included.

The episode revealed that there were serious artistic differences between Clarke and Snoad. Specifically, Clarke refused to act as anything but a writer and rarely visited the set or location shoots, necessitating that Snoad make minor rewrites to accommodate the realities of taping. This infuriated Clarke, who disliked any tampering of his work, and Snoad thought Clarke was being unreasonable. The situation was mitigated in later series by the hiring of a [[script editor]] whose sole job was to keep Clarke apprised of Snoad's changes, and to keep Snoad informed of Clarke's opinion of them.<ref name="ComedyConn" />
