In the 2016 standalone prequel episode, "Young Hyacinth," which may have led to a prequel series, we learn more about the origins of Hyacinth's mindset, and their family surname is finally revealed to be the Waltons (surely an in-joke reference to the Lorimar Television series). According to this episode, in the early 1950s, young Hyacinth Walton is working as a domestic servant for the Cooper-Smiths by day while living in a small canal cottage with her alcoholic father ("Daddy") and her three sisters (Violet, Rose and Daisy). Impressed by her eccentric employers, Hyacinth vows to escape her poor background and enter a world of the elegant upper class, thus leading to her ongoing behaviour seen in Keeping up Appearances of "trying to climb the social (classes) ladder."
