Series 1, Episode 3 - France
Edina and Patsy are off for a jaunt in France. Arriving at the wrong place, they struggle to find food until Saffron and Bubble arrive. After drinking liberally and actually enjoying a game of ping-pong, they are given an urgent message by Bubble.
Further details
With a suitably chosen wardrobe, Eddy and Patsy take a trip to Provence in France. But they find the language barrier is the least of their problems. Their accommodation is far from the five-star standard they expect.
The cupboards are bare, walls are damp and they have no idea why a dubious looking Frenchman keeps knocking on the chalet door.
Meanwhile Edina hopes that, back home, daughter Saffron will come out of her shell and transform herself into a raver.
