What is one of your favorite Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet!) catch phrases or memorable quotes? (RIP Dame Patricia Routledge)

[QueerDuck]

My favorite will always be: "The Bouka-a-ay-y-y Residence... the lady of the house speaking! --- No this is NOT the Chinese takeaway!"

1. Too many to list. I also liked her in the Hetty Wainthropp Investigates series.

3. I watched a few episodes. It was funny that I could never get Hyacinth out of my mind, though.

It was as though Hyacinth had moved and found a new career. Or the credits should have read "Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket as Hatty Wainthropp" ... I always adored her though and she was a perfect match for the cozy-mystery genre.

13. Iiked the Hetty Wainthropp series very much. But I nicknamed it Hetty/Hyacinth.

RIP Hyacinth

4. So many. "Join me at 11:00 for coffee, Elizabeth."

“This is the lady of the house speaking.” And of course, B-u-c-k-e-t, pronounced Bouquet. Loved Hyacinth.

5. Too many, almost any that started with Richard. RIP to a wonderful actress.

6. Richard... mind the pavement! Richard... mind the cows, dear!

7. "It's my sister, Violet! The one with a Mercedes, a sauna and room for a pony!"

[House of Roberts]

8. Bruce is up a tree wearing what?

[QueerDuck]

9. Ha! Classic!

10. When one of my sisters informed me that Routledge "really is a really good singer in real life"

I said, "You wasted your breath telling me that -- you HAVE to be a really good singer to sing as BADLY as she does as WELL as she does!"

11. Poor, Emmett... she was the bane of his existence.

12. I did watch it a dair amount,

but I don't really have any phrases to share. Nor do I have any phrases from the special she did on the life of Hildegarde von Bingen - but oh boy, that was magnificent. I'm sad to lose her.

14. Made me laugh and then cry. So much so funny has just vanished.
