Further details
Arriving home from a heavy-metal concert in full goth gear and strung out on drugs, Edina and Patsy reflect on how the rockers of their era have become tame - like the fish farm-running Roger Daltry.
Meanwhile, mother and her friend Dolly have jobs as extras and are living it up on booze and pills with small time showbiz impressario Brice Michaels. When Edina spies the hunky gardener that Saffron has hired, Patsy convinces her to seduce him, a plan made all the more attractive when they realise that he is from a wealthy, gentrified family.
The seduction goes according to plan, but Edina and Patsy are shocked to discover the fate of his family's estate - and its fish farming new owner!
