Hyacinth sees it as her duty to take over proceedings at the church hall, ahead of a guest speaker. Meanwhile, Daisy tries to make Onslow jealous with a young toyboy.

It's another fine early episode, the show is still in its infancy, but the characters are already so very well established. We've seen Hyacinth as a social climber, a domineering hostess and a charity shop helper, here we see her as a downright bore, constantly going on about Sheridan.

It's almost sad to see everyone hiding from Hyacinth, but you totally can understand why they would, she's overbearing.

It's do funny to see a young Jonny Lee Miller in the role of the toy boy.

7/10.

Warning: Spoilers
Hyacinth and Elizabeth are in attendance at a church hall function. Elizabeth is less than thrilled as she is tasked with assisting Hyacinth with her valuable Royal Doulton tea set ( which Hyacinth has brought for the guest speaker to use ). As soon as Hyacinth arrives, she more or less takes charge of everything, much to the annoyance of the vicar and the other ladies.

Meanwhile, Daisy is feeling neglected by Onslow and enlists the help of Rose's toy boy to try and make Onslow jealous...

Jonny Lee Miller makes his television debut in this amiable episode as Daisy's motorbike riding toy boy. He later would land a hugely successful film role in the 1996 film adaption of Irvine Welsh's novel 'Trainspotting' which would later make him a huge star. Naturally, Onslow sees through the ruse. Robert Rawles makes his first appearance in the show here as the put upon milkman who is unfortunate enough to have to deliver to Hyacinth's house.

Funniest bit - Onslow being roped into singing hymns with the other parishioners whereupon he, to his alarm, attracts the eye of a rather plain looking elderly lady!
