This holiday-themed set begins with Hyacinth dressing poor Richard up as Father Christmas and ends with Hyacinth in the same outfit kissing Onslow under the mistletoe. How one gets from the first to last makes up "A Very Merry Hyacinth." Then it's time for "Sea Fever" aboard the QE2 in a double-episode that finds Hyacinth packing mounds of luggage and dressing "like a celebrity" only to miss the boat. When she and Richard finally catch up to the ship, they are astounded to see Onslow and Daisy aboard getting the royal treatment. One of the more hysterical episodes, it features Hyacinth and Richard in jogging outfits running through the ship and ends with Hyacinth and Onslow in an energetic jitterbug. In the remaining episodes Hyacinth decides to redo her kitchen, Daddy rents his bed out, and volunteers for the church play suffer a mysterious rash of illnesses when obliviously bossy Hyacinth takes over. --Kimberly Heinrichs |

Keeping Up Appearances Deck the Halls with Hyacinth by C. Egan 5 Stars
March 25, 2009
Absolutely wonderful comedic performance by Patricia Routledge and the rest of the cast. From beginning to end, Hyacinth Bouquet (spelled Bucket) keeps you rolling from one episode to the next with her zany contrivances to "keep up appearances."

British at its best, no one does it better than Hyacinth by Deborah L. Trboyevich (Minnesota) 5 Stars
June 23, 2008
Funny, just plain funny, the snobs of the World should take note. Hyacinth will keep you laughing thru her journey to the upper crest, this woman would drive a person nuts if you let her. Her antics go on and on. A must for any British comedy fan.
