I was watching Keeping up Appearances (KUA) Monday. It was the
Onslow's Birthday episode.

I noticed that the vicar's wife's accent/voice sounded almost exactly
like Mavis on AYBSA(GaF).

Marion Barron plays the vicars wife...

What is the accent that Mavis has on ABYSA?
Anyone else notice this?

It's an accent typical of Northern England. A Yorkshire accent. You can read more about this here: http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Yorkshire_accent

Frank,
My family and I are avid fans of KUA and when we first saw AYBS?A! we were for sure that it was her. In the episode of KUA when Hyacinth first meets the vicar and his wife, she even looks like her too!

Oh, good! its always nice to get confirmation that you (in this case me) haven't drifted off to a world of your (again me/my) own.
