Whoever plays Hyacinth does a really good job, because I absolutely HATE the Hyacinth character.
Hyacinth is played by the Brilliant Patricia Routledge.
I agree that her character is incredibly obnoxious and insufferable but Routledge’s talent makes “Hyacinth” a blast to watch. I love how her schemes always blow up right in her face.
Believe it or not, Patricia Routledge can actually sing in real life. Hyacinth’s dreadful singing voice is another display of Routledge’s talent. Here is a link to an LP she recorded.
Brilliant and hilarious show.
