Hyacinth Bucket (Patricia Routledge) (pronounced "bouquet") continually looks for opportunities to climb the social ladder, though she's wedged on a rung just below her sister Violet (whose house has a swimming pool, sauna, and room for a pony) and just above her working class sisters Daisy (Judy Cornwell) and Rose (Mary Miller). Hyacinth's passion for flawless entertaining unnerves her neighbor Elizabeth (Josephine Tewson), who is often invited to the Bucket home for coffee. Elizabeth's divorced brother Emmet (David Griffin), who also lives next door to the Buckets, tries to avoid Hyacinth because she breaks into song in his presence in the hope he'll cast her in one of his "little theater" musical productions.

Great comedy about a woman that tries to appear as an upper-class lady, although the people directly around her are not. So she is constantly trying to "keep up appearances".
