1. Nice photo! She's also good as Hetty Wainthrop, PI. nt

[Demoiselle]

4. I WISH they'd run the Hetty Wainthrop series around here!

I've seen it once or twice, and I'd love to see this wonderful actress doing something other than the Bucket Woman.
(These days, I react pretty much like her terrified neighbors do.)

10. That's BOUQUET!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

2. Only if you have room for my pony.

[geardaddy]

3. OK, but don't expect me to dress up.

"Oh, nice!"

[GCP]

5. Onslow's the best thing about that show!

And I'm English.

14. Once I saw the actor that played Onslow on a talk show

And he was wearing a shirt and tie and looked completely different. I've been so used to seeing him as Onslow, I had to do a double take when I saw what he normally looks like

The late Mary Millar, who played Rose in the later episodes of the show, was the original Madam Giry in Phantom the Opera. When I listened to some of the music from the soundtrack, I heard her and it struck me again as to the depth and diversity of talent that was reflected in the characters she played

6. Will we be using the Royal Doulton with the hand painted periwinkles?

No, I will not send over another portion of deep-fried squid. This is not the Chinese take-away. You are connected to a private residence on a white, slimlined telephone with last-number redial facility.

9. hahahahaha

11. O Hello Violet....

Bruce is doing what????

[MicaelS]

7. So what else are your serving other than candlelight?

That's sort of low on calories.

8. ... it's "Boo-kay"!!!! Richard, tell the man the correct pronounciation of our name, dear.

LMAO!

12. Richard was the real star.

This guy suffered quietly and the running joke was everybody knew it and kind of respected him for it.

Instead of a candlelight supper I think Richard should get a Victoria cross. You earned it buddy.

[monmouth]

15. I always loved when Richard and Onslow went to the local for a few. Hilarity ensued..n/t

13. You should be treated to a riverside repast with riparian entertainments! nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I love the lengths that Emmett goes to so she won't "sing" at him.

I read somewhere that Patricia Routledge did all her stunts herself -- no stuntwoman to climb awkward garden walls for Hyacinth.

17. She was very physical on both shows, to say the least.

[MountainMama]

18. I love/d it.....

(In a sing-song)

Bouquet residence! Lady of the house speaking.....

Hyacinth rocks.
