13. Keeping Up Appearances
BBCHyacinth Bucket is an over-bearing, attention seeking, middle-class woman determined to show those around her that she is within the hierarchy and social elite of British society, however this forced charm becomes extremely intimidating to those around her and creates a variety of hilarious scenarios. Her husband Richard will frequently encourage her extraordinary antics as he fears the certain wrath that he would otherwise be facing, which offers Hyacinth no limits. Hyacinths efforts to showcase her nobility are often crushed by her ever-present sisters Rose and Daisy. Rose is a hussy that will usually wear a mini-skirt and attach herself to any man in site which of course causes endless embarrassment at Hyacinths lavish candlelight suppers. While Daisy is far more timid than Rose, she comes with a slob-husband that oozes everything Hyacinth wants so desperately to disassociate herself from. As tiring as Hyacinth would be to tolerate in person, she makes for hilarious viewing. Whether it is her constant reminders that her surname Bucket is in fact pronounced Bouquet or her priceless naivety regarding her sons sexual preference Mrs Bucket's antics will always make you laugh.
