Revealing mistake: There are many Christmas cards scattered around the house but you can see in a lot of the shots that they have nothing written in them.
The Father Christmas Suit - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: In the scene on the way to the church when Liz and Hyacinth nearly crash into the Thorgunburys' car, there are two cars parked in the front garden of the house behind them, a red Peugeot and a white Citroen. At the end of this scene a white Vauxhall Nova has just appeared in the garden.
Trivia: Hyacinth somehow manages to open a pull door by pushing. When Hyacinth is about to walk into the store with Councillor Mrs. Nugent (24mins approx), they walk to the door and Hyacinth pushes the door, which is labeled "Pull."
Hyacinth: It's Bouquet! B-U-C-K-E-T.
Hyacinth: I want you to instruct your superiors that this is a first class stamp residence.
Hyacinth: It's Bouquet.
Question: Was it ever established in the show whether Hyacinth could drive or not?
Question: What is the name of the china pattern used at the breakfast table? It is black and gold trimmed. Not the Royal Doulton and not the Royal Worster Avignon.
Answer: I have asked myself the same question for a long time. It is Rosina-Queen's fine bone china, pattern "Olde England." It's the china that appears most of the time in the series. The Royal Worchester double-glazed Avignon (for candle light suppers) is really Royal Doulton Avignon, pattern "The Moselle Collection." And the Royal Doulton with the hand painted periwinkles is in reality of course Royal Doulton Colclough, pattern "Braganza."

Answer: He [Richard] drives the car because Hyacinth has not learned to drive, but claims he only steers while Hyacinth drives by "word of mouth."
