Series 3, Episode 1 - Door Handle

Eddy's become bogged down in the detail whilst renovating the kitchen after Patsy's fire, and is on the hunt for a very specific door handle. If only she could remember where she saw it - or which continent it may be on...

Further details

Eddy's kitchen is being rebuilt after Patsy burnt it down with a rogue cigarette, and she's determined to make sure her new decor is perfectly co-ordinated.

Eddy treats her seach for the perfect matching door handle as if she were hunting the Holy Grail. She flies on Concorde to New York taking Patsy with her on her quest.

While galavanting round the Big Apple they bump into some rather disreputable characters. Edina even finds time to have her navel pierced. When they get home Saffy reveals that it is her birthday - Eddy has forgotten. Will she be able to rustle up a present?
