eh

Rubyjune · 14/07/2019 15:51

I don’t think people hate her or they’d find the show too insufferable to watch.
She’s one of those characters who is lovable but also very irritating but that’s the point of the show so I don’t think people hate her really. She’s not a villain

BoswellsBollocks · 14/07/2019 15:51

I love Hyacinth! She’s my spirit animal.

I also adore Margo Leadbetter and wish I was her.

Sparklesocks · 14/07/2019 15:52

She makes me laugh but god I couldn’t live next door to her Smile

Oh Margot 😍 the best character on TV ever! "Gerry, Harrods hasn't delivered Christmas!"

Hyacinth Bouquet is a fantastic character. But I haven't watched that show for years.

BertrandRussell · 14/07/2019 15:56

I hated the episodes where she was humiliated. I liked it when she sailed through blissfully unaware.

CalamBalam · 14/07/2019 15:58

She was always charging about like a chintzy sofa come to life. I bet she and poor put upon Richard had a great sex life. Possibly.

Yachiru · 14/07/2019 15:58

I have the boxsets. She's iconic. I personally cannot stand her neighbours!

CalamBalam · 14/07/2019 15:59

Having a BIL like Onslow would bring out anyone's inner raging snob.

Finfintytint · 14/07/2019 16:01

Room for a pony?

Aquamarine1029 · 14/07/2019 16:01

I adore her.

PuppyMonkey · 14/07/2019 16:02

My other half is called Richard and I must confess I shout up the stairs: “Richaaard!” in a deliberately Hyacinth Bouquet style-ee quite often.Blush

CalamBalam · 14/07/2019 16:02

Margo Leadbetter was total style goals.

22Giraffes · 14/07/2019 16:03

Mind the pedestrians Richard!!

IsadoraQuagmire · 14/07/2019 16:12

I love Hyacinth and I think that Margo is perfection in human form.

StripeySocks29 · 14/07/2019 16:13

I still say Richard, mind that cow! To DH every time we drive down a country lane Grin I really enjoyed the prequel they did on the BBC a few years ago.

PuppyMonkey · 14/07/2019 16:16

Richard! Grin

She's actually called Hyacinth Bucket.

It's pronounced Bouquet!

PositiveVibez · 14/07/2019 16:19

I love her. Now emmet, her weasley neighbour on the other hand.

Wonder what Sheridan is up to now haha.

'Richard, your jersey's getting wet' - I think he had fell into a canal 😂😂

SquirellTamer · 14/07/2019 16:20

Sheridan!

CalamBalam · 14/07/2019 16:21

Sheridan lives in Berlin with his husband and they run an art gallery that doubles as a fetish club by night.

itsallgoingsouth · 14/07/2019 16:21

Never watched Hyacinth but quite liked Margo. A snob with a kind heart?

Pauline in 'Mum' ...she's another person we're supposed to dislike but by the end of the series I had a smidgen of sympathy for her. Only a smidgen, mind.

Pinktinker · 14/07/2019 16:21

She’s hilarious... to watch on TV. Imagine actually having to live with or close to someone like that.

CalamBalam · 14/07/2019 16:22

It starts out innocently enough but before you know it you'll be hosting candlelit suppers and terrifying the neighbours.

tomtom1999xx · 14/07/2019 16:22

I loved her.
It was the neighbours & her family I didn’t like.
