Social climber Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'Bouquet, ' of course!) puts her best foot forward in this high-class comedy. She performs selfless acts of charity for the lower classes (her sisters), doles out invaluable advice to her husband Richard, acts the part of adoring eldest daughter to her incapacitated Daddy, and still finds time to keep the neighbors on edge with her morning coffees and candlelight dinner parties.

REVIEWS & SUMMARIES
Summary / AnnotationCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
Addictive submitted by fremont on July 23, 2011, 11:55am There is something totally addictive about this series for me. I've watched it multiple times. It gets better because a lot is expressed in the characters' facial expressions, so paying close attention to that as well as the dialogue makes it even better!
Funny skewering of British social structure submitted by mislem on June 9, 2023, 7:19pm Many British sitcoms deal with the absurdity of "social climbers," trying to rise to the higher classes of society. This is one of the most absurd and funniest.
