For house-proud Hyacinth Bucket - pronounced Bouquet, of course - everything has to be just right, for appearances are everything.

And in Hyacinth's world, (a fragrant world of pot pourri and crocheted doilies), there's a place for everything, and that includes her husband Richard, for whom the phrase 'long suffering' was coined. There are some who are welcome in the Bucket residence, but never welcome the thought of an invite: people like neighbour Liz and her brother Emmet, the vicar and his wife and their 'distinguished' friend the Major. And there are those who are definitely never welcome: her family. Her sister Daisy and husband Onslow are the epitome of slobbery, her sister Rose is an ageing strumpet, whereas her father - with wandering hands and a penchant for the drink - can often be seen cycling in the buff down the canal. So, let's sound the door chimes and let the constant battle against the ever-declining moral fabric of Britain commence, just so long as nobody brushes up against the wallpaper, that is.
