What Season 3 of Absolutely Fabulous

Edina Monsoon runs a struggling public relations agency in Holland Park, and her best friend, Patsy Stone, is a former model with little work at a British magazine. Together they spend much of their money on cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, and chase trends to hold on to their youth. Their excesses cause constant crises. Conflicts arise over the search for a kitchen mixer in New York, Jackie's visit, and the advertising awards gala, where Edina faces her rival Claudia Bing. Patsy moves into Edina's home when Saffron starts university, and living together gets complicated. Saffron, Edina's daughter, usually sorts out their messes.
