An outstanding debut.

Daddy's Accident introduces us to the character of Hyacinth Bucket, her loved ones, and those that suffer her.

It takes absolutely no time for us to get the measure of her, her snobbery, social climbing, torment over her family's financial poverty, and her desperation to maintain the social standards.

It's a flawless start, this first episode is an absolute classic, it's no wonder the nation fell in love with Hyacinth after this.

It introduces everyone incredibly well, suffering Richard, nervous Elizabeth, and the randy Major.

Almost every scene is comedy gold, the housing estate, the flowers, and best of all, Elizabeth's first afternoon tea, together with Elizabeth, the acting, the timing, tbe one liners, that was pure comedy gold.

They certainly don't make comedy like this anymore, Roy Clarke, I salute you, 10/10.
