He's work-shy, bone idle, and out of condition! That's Onslow in a nutshell. Husband of
Daisy, and perpetual thorn in the side of
Hyacinth, Onslow couldn't care less about anything so long as his TV viewing goes uninterrupted.
Without a job, he has to find other activities to fill up his day: drinking beer and watching the races are among his two favourites; that is, of course, after he wakes up mid-day. As time goes on, he feels a deep pang of sympathy for
Richard and his plight (being married to
Hyacinth that is, particularly after his [
Richard's] retirement), and on occasion he has attempted to 'rescue' him from her clutches.
When it comes to
Daisy, his feelings are simple. Unless she's getting him a beer and/or some crisps, she is better not seen or heard. Her raging hormones seem to frighten Onslow, who always has some excuse not to be 'in the mood'.
When it comes to
Hyacinth, Onslow would rather not have to ever cross her path; yet fate often throws them together, and usually when Onslow is in an undershirt, much to the chagrin of
Hyacinth.
Onslow's catchphrase: Oh, Nice!
