Helen Christie nearly married off Daddy
BBC
The "Problems with Relatives" referred to in the title of this Season 2 episode begin with Daddy, Hyacinth's memory-impaired father, who wanders away from Onslow and Daisy with the apparent intention of marrying someone at the registrar's office. It eventually extends to Bruce, husband of the rarely seen sister Violet, who climbs a tree to protest her refusal to lend him a dress to wear to a dance (Bruce has a thing for women's clothes), and Onslow's refusal to wear one of Richard's jackets.
The registrar in "Problems with Relatives" was played by Helen Christie, a British actress born in India who worked extensively on the UK stage and in films during the second half of the 20th century. Her screen career began in 1950 with the sports comedy "Up for the Cup" and soon encompassed character roles in films like "The Beggar's Opera" with Laurence Olivier as well as period dramas like "Flesh and Blood." Christie was also a regular and recurring player in TV series like "Middlemarch," "Wives and Daughters," and "Cranford."
Christie remained active on stage and on TV into the early 1990s, with her "Keeping Up Appearances" role among her final screen projects. She died in 1995 at the age of 80.
