Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'The Bucket woman', who insists that her surname is pronounced 'Bouquet', has three sisters. Their given names have something in common. What is it?

Answer: They're all named for flowers.

Mrs. Bucket's name is Hyacinth. Her sisters are Violet, Daisy, and Rose.
2. Mrs. Bucket loves to boast of this sister, 'the one with a Mercedes, sauna, and room for a pony.' Which sister is this?

Answer: Violet

Though Hyacinth loves to boast of Violet's wealth, she is embarrassed by Violet's cross-dressing husband, Bruce.
3. Mrs. Bucket has one other married sister, 'the one *without* the Mercedes, sauna, and room for a pony.' Which sister is this?

Answer: Daisy

Hyacinth is always embarrassed by the slovenly Daisy and her easygoing slob of a husband, Onslow.
4. The fourth sister is the only unmarried one, and she's hungry for a man. What's her name?

Answer: Rose

Rose is forever embarrassing Hyacinth with her short skirts and constant flirting with the neighbor and the vicar.
5. Mr. Bucket, though faint of heart, shares a name with a lion-hearted king. What's Mr. Bucket's first name?

Answer: Richard

Richard has everybody's pity. Alas for Richard, he is forced into early retirement and no longer has work as an escape from his wife's bustling and preening.
6. Mrs. Bucket's next-door neighbor lives in constant fear of being invited for coffee, lest she break one of Mrs. Bucket's prized pieces of Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles. What's this timid neighbor's name?

Answer: Elizabeth

Elizabeth's husband is occasionally mentioned but never seen; he's out of the country on business.
7. Mrs. Bucket's neighbor lived alone early in the series, but soon somebody moved in. Who?

Answer: Her brother, Emmet.

Emmet is divorced. Hyacinth's man-hungry sister, Rose, shamelessly flirts with him.
8. We virtually never see Mrs. Bucket's son, but we sure hear about him! He's away at university, making his mummy very proud. What's his name?

Answer: Sheridan

Whenever Sheridan calls, you can be sure he wants money!

We only get one tiny glimpse of Sheridan, dawn0901 pointed out: we do see Sheridan from the back, in a cab, pulling away in the beginning of episode 34, "Let there be Light".
9. Mrs. Bucket's father never quite came all the way home from The War, and as a result is frequently doing things that embarrass his fussy daughter. Where does he live?

Answer: With Mrs. Bucket's sister who doesn't have a Mercedes.

Daddy frequently dresses up in his old uniform and goes skulking about. Or he gets into other mischief.
10. Many people live in dread of encounters with 'the Bucket woman'. Which one, named Michael, gets scolded by his wife for his efforts to avoid Mrs. Bucket?

Answer: The vicar

Once, the vicar's wife caught him cowering in the basement with an assortment of other people hiding from Hyacinth! We hear once that the postman's name is Michael, too, but his wife doesn't scold him (that we know of!) for his efforts to avoid 'the Bucket woman'!
