Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
As Hyacinth (Patricia Routledge) predicts, her grandniece's christening turns chaotic, thanks to her family's faux pas. To her disgust, the child's mother, Onslow (Geoffrey Hughes) and Daisy's (Judy Cornwell) hippie daughter Stephanie (Laura Shavin), is still single. Adding to the anarchy, Rose's (Shirley Stelfox) boyfriends, Reg (Bruce Bennett) and Dennis (Jonathan Fryer), fight over her. Then Stephanie's van stalls, causing her to hold up the ceremony. Hyacinth offers Richard's (Clive Swift) aid to jump start it. Can this kind act help Hyacinth save her reputation? Character actor Gerald Sim (the Rector in another Brit-com, To the Manor Born) guest-stars as a vicar.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Keeping Up Appearances. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
The Christening is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 19 out of 56, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 30m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
