1. Hyacinth: "I thought we'd have the nicer china."
2. Elizabeth: "Oh, thank you, Hyacinth."
3. Hyacinth: "They're something of a family heirloom."
4. Elizabeth: "Oh God, don't give me anything special."
5. Hyacinth: "So you will be careful, wont you, dear? - Biscuit?"
6. Elizabeth: "Well - thank you."
7. Hyacinth: "I used to have six of these, until one fell into the hands of my brother-in-law, Onslow, one Christmas. 8. I could've killed him. 9.  Course, one can't make a fuss on festive occasions 10. but he certainly got the short end of the/a

turkey, I can tell you."
11. Elizabeth: "Did they tell you what was wrong with your father?"
12. Hyacinth: "Something mildly embarrassing. 13. One of those minor geriatric complaints. I couldn't catch the medical terminology."
14. Elizabeth: "Oh!"

You can listen to and enjoy this excerpt¹⁾²⁾ from the popular series 'Keeping up Appearances" at youtube in a particular version with subtitles. 'So what!', you may think. I would definitely not have mentioned it, had it been the usual subtitles. But this one's different; the subtitles are offered in a transcribed form. In a blog like the present one such an undertaking cries for scrutiny. The transcriptions have also been scrutinised by J. Windsor Lewis in his PhonetiBlog no. 477. Due to the revisions made to the subtitles of the video (see my two footnotes) I've decided to include both versions of subtitles.

"a)" indicates the original transcription of the sketch (= version 1),
"b)" refers to the updated transcriptions of the video (= version 2) and
"c)" is my version.

It would have been advantageous for learners of English to have a version of this video with tone marks added to the transcriptions.

Update: There will be a another version with tones!
