Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the first person Hyacinth admonishes for not pronouncing "Bucket" as "Bouquet"?

Answer: The postman

It's the postman who has this distinction. The other three characters do not appear in this episode. Hyacinth is offended that he has no mail for her that day.

2. Which actress plays Rose in all episodes of the first series?

Answer: Shirley Stelfox

Josephine Tewson plays Elizabeth and Judy Cornwell plays Daisy.
Mary Millar takes over the role of Rose beginning with series 2.

3. Even the casual watcher knows that it is not unusual for Rose to be juggling multiple boyfriends! Who are her two beaus mentioned in this episode?

Answer: Mr. Crabtree and Boris

It's Hyacinth who has to fend off the advances of the Major and, in a later episode, the Commodore. The postman and the meter man are two men with whom Rose has not been involved (at least it's never mentioned). We learn in later episodes that Rose does have a history with C.P. Benedict and Mr. Finchley.

4. Who or what does Hyacinth describe to Elizabeth as "very old, irreplaceable" and having "been around for ages"?

Answer: Her "nicer china"

This china is not to be confused with her Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles. And, yes, nervous Elizabeth drops a cup and saucer.

5. Sheridan calls up asking for money (as he often does) so he can join which organization?

Answer: The Sword of the People

He promises to pay back the money after the group robs their first bank!

6. Violet telephones Hyacinth, excitedly telling her she fears Bruce is having an affair. Why has Hyacinth never liked Bruce wholeheartedly?

Answer: He serves ice cubes in the shape of naked ladies

In a later episode, we learn that Bruce also owns drinking glasses with naked ladies on them.

7. Who was Daddy chasing on his bicycle?

Answer: The milk woman

Hyacinth tried to excuse it by reminding her family "how fond he is of dairy products" and expects "he wanted to order extra cream."

8. In what condition was Daddy when he was admitted to hospital, according to his roommate, Mr. Oxley?

Answer: "Drunk as a skunk"

The doctor explains that Daddy has been heavily sedated because he sustained an injury from a milk bottle and was highly excited. Hyacinth proposes he was "flushed from excessive cycling." She is wary of Mr. Oxley because he wears his hat in bed.

9. What explanation does Hyacinth offer the doctor for why Daddy was found absolutely naked in the canal?

Answer: The water pollution dissolved his undergarments

The doctor mentions it was a chilly evening. Daddy's "naturist" tendencies come out in another episode.

10. The Major offers Hyacinth flowers from his conservatory. Where does she intend to use them?

Answer: At her candlelight supper

The flowers come at a cost! The Major chases Hyacinth around the inside of the conservatory and she exits rather disheveled.
