Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced 'bouquet') goes to incredible lengths in her quest for perfection. Her downtrodden husband, Richard, acts as chauffeur in their immaculately kept car. In marked contrast to Hyacinth's meticulously ordered life, however, the rest of her family are as common as muck. They live together in a rundown house that looks like a junkyard. Sister Daisy and her husband, Onslow, are out-and-out slobs. Her other sister, Rose, is an aging tart. And her elderly father is a lecherous drunk. Whatever Hyacinth does, her family can always be guaranteed to show her up.
