My opinion, it is a sad day for Britain if Hyacinth Bucket is a British Cultural Icon..... anyone else agree? (or otherwise), I plan to remove Category:British_cultural_icons on March 17,2006 depending on outcome mr_uu 01:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Please do tell me if i'm wrong, but it's Hyacinth Bouquet. It isn't Bucket as it says on here, should all links be changed?

No, I do think it's spelt B.U.C.K.E.T. because of two scenes:
On face value, I think it's nothing more than a parallel to a name like Brian Bury (talk show host in Australia), who says it's amazing how wrong people get it (he pronounces it beau-ree, not berry), but it's obviously a gag that's fairly central to Keeping Up Appearances.

I wonder if Sheridan's name is another play on words? Such as a Marquis Sheridan Ice Bucket?

Oh, good grief. She spells it B U C K E T hundreds of time throuhout the series. There's even a scene where she call him Richard Bouquet and he tells her, "It's Bucket. It was always Bucket." She changed it to suit herself. That's a primary part of the gag. —Preceding

The tag was placed due to the personal opinions riddled throughout the article ("Hyacinth takes snobbery and social-climbing to such an extreme level, it provides much of the show’s humour", "in addition her polite and often cheerful attributes also help in making the character likable", and "Hyacinth's dedication to improving her social standing, ingratiating herself (frequently in a completely shameless manner)", for example). - Dudesleeper / Talk 18:59, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
I just finished watching one of the reruns a second ago; Hyacinth says "it's b-o-u-q-u-e-t" saying each letter. Her husband does not object. Parthian Scribe 03:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Please watch the Fourth Episode from Series 2! In which they go to a golfing hotel! When they arrive Richard clearly states its spelled Bucket — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.91.175 ( talk) 21:21, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Seeing as this has apparently been the subject of edit-warring for the past three days, and the user trying to insert the following paragraph insists on repeatedly re-inserting it even when reverted by two separate editors and linked to the
original research policy, I thought it worth bringing to the talkpage.
To me, the above paragraph reads as straightforward original research, and I would be interested to hear how it could possibly argued otherwise. The only references provided are either to the Wikipedia article for NPD, or to mirror sites of earlier versions of this page. If this were to have any merit, it would require referencing to a reliable source to make plain that it was the opinion of a published third party, rather than a single Wikipeda user. Otherwise, the statement that Hyacinth show signs of NPD is simply the personal opinion of one editor, and not at all suitable for inclusion. Frickative 22:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Brian Griffin/Archive 3#Attn. regarding watching shows and then writing about/from them addresses exactly this. I quote:
Take a look at WP:PRIMARY: As has been discussed there,
In a nutshell,
I think a lot of pruning of this article can be justified on not having external references.
As for the eventual rebuttal that WP readers are also fans of FG who also write secondary sources, well, then it should be easy enough for those fans to actually start a website and do it themselves so they can add it to Wikipedia. After all, WP isn't a place for original discussion!. If someone replies with, "then we can't write anything", then its best not to write anything...

Here,
Ironically, the one time Hyacinth is seen mixing with aristocracy, she makes a fool of herself in front of them.
the word “ironically” is misused, because this result is exactly what a rational person would expect such an absurd character to do in such a situation. I’m not sure what a better word would be—possibly “comically” or “farcically”?
-- Greta Hoostal ( talk) 22:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC) No, it is ironic becuase one would think that with all the time she spends trying to act like a member of the 'upper classes', that she would able to handle herself in that situation, ie that she would not even know what the lord looked like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.68.159 ( talk) 22:55, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
But the assertion still holds true. Hyacinth's married name sounds like bouquet when SHE pronounces it and it supports the floral theme. Ah, all the lovely flowers. Good writing. Great characters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.75.12.70 ( talk) 22:01, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
"Hyacinth's three sisters amplify the floral theme suggested by the surname "Bouquet": their names are Violet, Daisy, and Rose. "
Since Hyacinth's surname Bucket/Bouquet comes from her husband, why should this name have anything to do with her sisters ? Eregli bob ( talk) 14:05, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Why in the world is it spelled "Bouquey" throughout the whole article? That's not even the right way to spell "bouquet" let alone how it's actually spelled, "bucket". -- 68.56.8.163 ( talk) 04:39, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
