  Christmas may come but once a year but for arch-snob Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet if you please) disaster drama and humiliation – all obstacles on the ladder to social-climbing success – are far more frequent. In these Christmas Specials we see a delightful cruise on the QE2 start in a less-than-delightful muddy fi eld. We see a glorious English Civil War pageant with Hyacinth as Queen Henrietta Maria go royally wrong when the cast fails to turn up and her unsavoury relatives step into the breach. And we see that even The Season of Good Will isn’t immune from woe as a sherry-fuelled Richard dressed as Santa brings Hyacinth tidings devoid of any comfort and joy.
