    Incredible snobbery.

    Hyacinth is excited to take delivery of her new three piece suite, an exact replica of one at Sandringham House, an excuse to get one over on neighbour Mrs Barker Finch.

    Very, very funny, it's absurdly funny, only Hyacinth would be more concerned about delivery vans and collections, rather than actually receiving her furniture.

    I could definitely have seen Hyacinth with G Plan, a comfortable Malvern suite, in New York Champagne fabric, hideous, but perfect for her. It is a very nice suite.

    That scene where Hyacinth comes out of her front door, and exclaims 'can I help you people?' it's hilarious, the height of snobbery. It's nice to see Hyacinth taken down once again, she's almost monstrous here.

    8/10.

    • Trivia
      Hyacinth wants to make certain her three-piece suite is an exact replica of the one at Sandringham House. For non-British viewers, Sandringham House is a country house (a mansion--almost a castle, in fact) in Norfolk, England, and serves as a private home of Queen Elizabeth II.

      Daisy: Onslow, we're getting a new three-piece suite. Our Hyacinth's old one.

      Onslow: It looks like new! Isn't it going to clash with our decor?
