Nombre de saisons : 5
Durée moyenne d'un épisode : 30 minutes
Genre(s) : Comédie
Hyacinth Bucket est une femme d'une soixantaine d'années d'origine modeste et très commune. Son principal défaut est le snobisme. Son désir d'appartenir à une classe sociale plus élevée et du paraître l'amène à travers les aventures d'un quotidien banal à céder à de nombreuses manies, dont celle d'être appelée « Bouquet » ou la prétention d'organiser des « Soupers aux Chandelles » où elle ne prétend recevoir que la crème de ce qu'elle considère comme la bonne société britannique, le Vicaire, le Major, Mme Fortescue et tout ce qui compte un titre vaguement aristocratique et quelconque.
