[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 76683, member: 23"] As Series Three began I thought I'd spotted a blunder when Daisy's old brown sofa reappeared. It was saved by some throwaway dialogue from Daisy, who commented that she'd had a nice sofa from Hyacinth until someone made Onslow an offer; to which Onslow replied that the sofa was too firm "It was like sitting on your Hyacinth". I do wonder about the artistic reason behind the retrogression. A number of reasons spring to mind: perhaps casual viewers wouldn't understand why this sofa with Hyacinth's signature florals was in Daisy's home. Or maybe the props people lost track when refurnishing the sets for the new series. I'm running with perhaps the simplest explanation: the brown sofa just feels more Daisy and Onslow-ish. I must confess that I'm rather fond of that brown sofa. Like a number of other items in that house, it's practically back in fashion for those with more vintage tastes. The plush Marl fabric, mid-century design and wood accents look very much like the "G-Plan Vintage" range (I imagine it could well be an old G-Plan). I'd take it over Hyacinth's chintzy florals any day. There's been some redressing too over at the Bucket residence, where Hyacinth's door inserts are now even poppier (the hallway doors now have red accents instead of the previous mauve. Offset by cream of course). The kitchen has new cabinets and tiles and the bathroom set has made its debut. [/QUOTE]
