I can see what the main character is doing as "face saving"

Haha good question! And how she's embarrassed about her working class family. She, however is a stereotype of a post-war upper-middle class British suburbanite, the likes of which don't really exist anymore. I live near some of the most snobby, conservative parts of the country (south-east) though even people like her are a dying breed. I'd be interested to know what Chinese people would think of her though.
Please God, I hope not. I mean, it's not the worst of British comedy, but it's far from the best. Give me Basil Fawlty any day over Mrs Bucket.
