[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 121967, member: 23"] I can see what he means, but I still see Foggy as the [I]Summer Wine [/I]character with the most similarities to Hyacinth. It's partly down to Brian Wilde's mannerisms as Foggy - the way he delivers lines... right down to that emphatic nose-wrinkle. But it's also the kind of character he is (grandiose, bossy, controlling, full of big ideas, prone to exaggeration in an attempt to impress) and the way he interacts with others (his superiority and barely concealed intolerance towards the resident scruff; the way others try to get away as he talks about something he thinks they need to know; the other characters' delight at his inevitable downfalls). Incidentally, it's a little strange to think that at this point Hyacinth would have been halfway through her own series' run. It makes me wonder if a crossover could have worked. The possibilities are limitless. [/QUOTE]
