About this deal

Though Hyacinth describes his role as "a power in local authority", he appears to be no more than a bureaucratic functionary. Clandon house was built partly with this money, which Elizabeth had inherited from her uncle, who profited from the transatlantic slave trade. Onslow is also a football fan, presumably of Everton as he comes from Merseyside, and dislikes Liverpool F. Onslow sympathises with his brother-in-law as he has a good idea how difficult life must be living with the protagonist.

The vicar and his wife sometimes exact comic revenge on Hyacinth for her snobbishness; on one occasion, when she was one of a group of volunteer helpers at the church, the vicar's wife saw to it that Hyacinth's hand went up prematurely and assigned her the job of cleaning the church toilets.Hughes played the character of Onslow in the BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances (1990–1995) which ran for 5 series and saw Hughes appear in all 44 episodes.

Due to the popularity of Keeping Up Appearances in the United States, books about the series have also been published across the Atlantic. Hyacinth, upon learning that Emmet is a musician, frequently and abruptly sings out-of-key at him to try to get a part in one of his productions, making him terrified of leaving the house, lest she see him ("She'll sing at me! In March 1997, Geoffrey Hughes and Judy Cornwell reprised their roles as Onslow and Daisy for a special compilation episode, recorded for broadcast in the United States on PBS. He is an overweight and unemployed man who earns his money through betting on horses, spends his time drinking beer, eating crisps and smoking cigarettes, and watching television.Onslow drives a 1978 Ford Cortina (number plate VSD 389S) that is in poor condition and backfires loudly almost every time it starts or stops, embarrassing Hyacinth, and frequently crushing her hopes of creating a perfect impression with new people. and continued to maintain close relations with leading London musicians including John Ella and George Frederick Anderson. His unromantic and blunt behaviour towards his wife contrasts to her romantic behaviour towards him, creating some of the show's humour. This infuriated Clarke, who disliked any tampering of his work, and Snoad thought Clarke was being unreasonable. This was first published in 1993, and is a light-hearted guide to manners, as seen through Hyacinth Bucket's eyes.

The Onslow family can trace their origins back to at least the 11th century in Shropshire, where they were landowners, lawyers and local administrators.At the instigation of Tarnowski, Onslow also hosted in Clermont-Ferrand the Polish-Jewish xylophonist and rival of Josef Gusikov, Sankson Jakubowski. The fortunes of the house and family have waxed and waned over four centuries and the house has been a home, a hospital, a business and a repository for the National Archives. Onslow, (André) George Louis", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography online, accessed 9 September 2014. The eighth Earl married Leigh Jones-Fenleigh, at Oakham on 10 September 1999 and they have one daughter.
