I always find it funny when Hyacinth tries so hard to prevent embarrassment but ends up embarrassing herself anyway. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@perypetierowerzystkizpozna585]

She's do sweet.

[@ArtificialSoul]

Hyacint: "Oh what a disaster! The one positive thing right now is my Sheridan. My dearest son is the best, because he doesn't like girls and he wears silk pyjamas together with his roommate Tarquin."

[@shantyirish7564]

I love this episode. Hyacinth always allows those "above her station" to get away with "Bucket", but not without an eye-roll ! Everyone else get " It's BOOOOO-KAAAAAY !"

[@november132]

I love how the councilor is judging them but still has a sense of duty to help them.

[@majorkilljoy]

i like how shes the only one who can get away with Bucket

[@WolfieMcMuffin]

Hyacinth stifles it!

[@shantyirish7564]

She does that with all those "above her station". Wouldn't want to alienate her " betters" !

[@stevensheef5495]

I love the fact Hyacinth's face shows she does not approve of the comments she made towards her family.

[@Heavenzvoice]

Steven Sheef she did love them just didn’t want to be seen with them! Lol

[@enthusedtosing9655]

With Mrs Fortescue, she thanked her for noticing "these people weren't her sort" (from memory). So yes, progress here.

[@blondeboyworld]

I think she was more concerned with how them being there was making her look lol.

[@MS-zt7td]

She genuinely seemed to care about her family. Just not in the daylight. 🤣

[@Jeremy-f3s]

I think she was more confused by the fact the councillor saw them as a thug and his mole when Rose is her sister after all and as promiscuous as she is she's never shown the slightest interest in Onslow. It was also an insult to Daisy who wasn't even there.

[@NekoInk13]

“I never knew your husband made films” .... No. Neither did Richard 😂

[@gusnorthamptonshire2651]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😅😅

[@reneebraxton1032]

[@PC-kd7dj]

Onslow did look like “he’d looked like that all his life!” Unfortunately, Geoffrey Hughes passed away in 2012 at only age 68. I’ll never forget Onslow’s wife Daisy (played by Judy Cornwall) describing him as, “Bone idle, work-shy, and out of condition.” (She loved him just the same.) And equally memorable was Onslow’s reaction to anything disagreeable to him: “Aw, nice!” What an absolutely wonderful ensemble cast of characters in endlessly enjoyable comedic plots!

[@eloisebrynlee]

His smoking played a part in his early demise no doubt. He was a classic.

[@artmallory970]

Onslow: 'How are you going to cope when I'm not around'? Daisy: 'The same way we've been coping when you were around' Onslow: 'Oh'

[@karphin1]

RIP, Geoffrey

[@jordanhuegel6928]

I love when Hyacinth mouths shut up to Onslow 😂

[@tommyandrewd]

Maybe it’s just me but I love how Councillor Nugent says ‘Bucket’ as if she knows Hyacinth pretends her names Bouquet.

[@leximac2501]

Councillor Mrs Nugent was such a legend. Wish she had of been in more episodes

[@francofan100]

You’d think Councillor Mrs Nugent would remember Rose from when she had to return her undies from the charity shop (although it was Shirley Stelfox playing her then)

[@MARCBSTN]

Wished Councillor, Mrs Nugent appeared in more episodes; she was a great foil for Hyacinth. And RIP to Charmian May who played the character so well.

[@thomasfrisby1570]

I agree. I wish she was in more episodes. She was definitely one of my favorite characters

Charmian May was great one of my favourite characters in KUA. She was also great as Mrs Weaver in The Good Life

[@richardburke5686]

I know the show aired 30 years ago, but it is timeless. Sad so many of the actors who played their characters brilliantly are gone, Rose, Osnlow, Richard, Counselor Mrs Nugent, are the ones Ive heard of. Awesome talents....they're missed!!

[@Iggywiggywoo]

In one episode Councillor Nugent asks Hyacinth “Why waste your money on a cab?” I would be pissed off and annoyed if someone ever asked me that. Cabs may be more expensive than buses and trains, but they do have their benefits. At least cabs can always take you directly to where you want to go, buses and trains may be cheaper, but they can’t always take you directly to your destination and often you have to take multiple buses or trains to your destination and/or you have to walk from the bus stop or train station to your destination.
