Edina和Patsy这对闺蜜每天，在伦敦最热闹的夜店买醉跳舞，仍然光芒四射地过着它们她们所追求的高品位生活。然而，在一个时尚趴的午宴上，一件意想不到的事发生，二人陷入媒体风波，成为媒体狗仔争相报道的对象。为了逃离富人们的朋友圈，法国人Riviera给她俩出了一个主意，帮助他们永久的离开，甚至可以过上更好的生活。

Set in the world of fashion and PR, immature fun-loving mother Edina Monsoon and her best friend Patsy drive Eddie's sensible daughter, Saffron, up the wall with their constant drug abuse and outrageous selfishness. Numerous in-jokes and heavy doses of cruel humour have made this series a cult hit in the UK and abroad.

Eddy is in hospital with a sore foot and Patsy has booked in for facial surgery in readiness for a gossip magazine interview about a recent indiscretion. They are both very demanding patients. Whilst under anaesthetic Eddy dreams she is dying and surrounded by a glamorous version of her real family. When she wakes up she finds the pain was caused by an acupuncture needle which went astray whilst Patsy's treatment is a disaster.

To Saffy's annoyance not only has Eddy forgotten her birthday but has failed to redecorate the kitchen after the fire. Eddy agrees to start work but ends up flying to New York with Patsy on the Concorde in pursuit of a suitable door knob she once saw there. In the event she photographs it but spends the day sight-seeing and getting her navel pierced. On arrival home she fails to notice that Saffy has had the kitchen renovated in her absence.

Eddy is to appear on the Richard and Judy morning chat show and Patsy has just the thing to get rid of her wrinkles: Paralox, a do-it-yourself Botox treatment, While Eddy is asleep, Patsy injects her face, overdoing it so that the next morning Eddy is paralyzed above the neck and must watch Katy Grin, Bubble's smug cousin, being interviewed instead. This is also bad news for Saffy, who nearly gets a job working for New Labour until the interviewer decides that she should stay home to look after her “invalid“ mother.

Whilst Saffy is away in Africa doing voluntary work, Eddy has obtained a posh new bathroom but the rest of the house is a mess. Ex-Spice Girl Emma Bunton, one of Eddy's new clients, comes to visit. She was at school with Saffy and knows she hates untidiness so urges Eddy and Patsy to clean the house, which they do - after a fashion. When Saffy arrives home Eddy thinks she has put on weight but in fact she is pregnant.

Fresh out of prison after serving two years for (innocently) providing asylum seekers with false passports Saffy is unusually garlanded as a heroine by Patsy. Until Saffy brings her cell-mate Baron to stay and it turns out that Baron is Patsy's old drug dealer, to whom she owes £50,000 and Baron will not leave until she gets it. Fortunately there is a way out, though it means that Patsy will have to face up to being a pensioner and not thirty-nine, as she has claimed for so long.

An undocumented Chinese housekeeper, ayí, finds solace in traditional Baduanjin exercises while facing mounting pressures at her cramped dormitory. Her struggle between endurance and defiance grows as exploitation continues.
