This episode is absolutely marvellous. Honestly I cannot recall the last time I laughed this much. Especially when Edina decides to dress up for the occasion.
It’s a show with the most perfect examples of the British humour. That in my opinion should not be pushed to the background. You see in the English shows they do not push all subject to background but they give a right amount of attention to it so that people learn to deal with it. And they do it in a very humoristic way. And this is by far one of the most interesting episodes. I mean Edina make me laugh I know you like that as well.moreless
AIRED:
Patsy's off to New York's fashion week and drags Eddie along for company. As you can imagine it didn't take much persuasion, especially after Mother lets it slip that Serge is living there. The pair get into all sorts of mischief in New York, including a Gay wedding, celebrity apperances and fashion faux pas. Meanwhile, back in the UK, Eddie's first husband and partner Bo run a christian TV channel. Saffy's studying people whilst in a cupboard and Bubble desperatly tries to be useful.moreless
