Hyacinth's father strangely seems to have become engaged and his 'fiancee' has moved herself into his bedroom at Daisy's house! Hyacinth is called round to sort things out and get rid of the woman.
Rose's love life also causes problems.
Hyacinth and Elizabeth are taking their turn helping out at the local charity shop but, as usual, even with the best laid plans of mice and men, things start to unravel very quickly. hide show
Hyacinth is in a good mood because it's hers and Elizabeth's day to help in the charity shop AND they will be serving with Mrs. Nugent, the wife of a local councillor, whose friendship Hyacinth is very keen to cultivate because 'Mrs. Councillor Nugent' is, in Hyacinth's opinion, one of the 'socially acceptable' people from the area.
Mrs. Nugent has a face and personality like a wet weekend. She seems to take no pleasure in anything except penny pinching and judging the morals of others. Naturally, Hyacinth wholeheartedly agrees with all of this, after all,it wouldn't do to disagree with such an important lady, even if she can't get the hang of how to pronounce 'Bucket'!
Hyacinth's day of good works is marred by the alarming news that her beloved, senile old Daddy has suddenly acquired a fiancee whom nobody new about! As usual, it is up to Hyacinth to sort it out, and she does so in her usual no-nonsense way, even if Rose does take a liking to the son of the lady in question.
Rose's charitable donation of skimpy undergarments is not appreciated by Mrs. Nugent, who returns them to her at the house via Hyacinth (pretending to be a foreigner and speaking through the letterbox so as not to be seen in such an area!)who returns them to Rose and breathes a sigh of relief when Mrs. Nugent does not know she is there!
Add in poor, terrified Elizabeth, stolen goods and more of Daddy's romantic adventures and you have yet another classic episode of this fantastic comedy series.
