Fisting across America!!!

Eddie is set to appear on Richard and Judy, Patsy convinces her that facial treatment parallox is a good idea.

It's definitely a very funny start to the fourth series, lots of funny one liners, funny scenes, and of course there's that moment where Eddie has overdone it.

That final scene where you see Lumley smirking, it's one of the show's best ever moments.

It's hard to believe it was five years since the show returned after The Last Shout, it looks super fresh, it looks very modern, it doesn't seem to have aged at all.

Famous faces once again, lovely to see Twiggy, at the time she had definitely experienced a real resurgence, truly lovely.

Katy Grin, I wasn't a fan at the time, but now I like her, and I see that it was a vehicle for Horrocks, a chance for her to do something a little different on the show.

Poor Sarah, she's clearly developed a few problems since the ill fated wedding.

8/10.

Warning: Spoilers
"Parralox" begins in Eddy's kitchen. Eddy's now into yoga and scooters, and her business has expanded to include television production. Saffy is preparing for an important job interview that would involve moving away from home. Mrs. M. drops by to get her email off of Eddy's computer. Patsy arrives with a frozen face. Patsy's been injecting her face with parralox to freeze wrinkles. She thinks Eddy should give it a try. Saffy becomes alarmed and protests, so Eddy "promises" she won't have parralox injections. The character of Katy Grin is introduced. Katy is a business partner of Eddy's, and she's also Bubble's cousin. Katy and Bubble have a brief scene together in this episode. Eddy's slated to appear on "Richard And Judy" the next day, and she's managed to get Twiggy (also in "Menopause") to appear as well. That night finds Eddy and Patsy meeting with Twiggy at a see-and-be-seen nightspot. "It" girl Candy Bender (Tilly Blackwood) is introduced at the club, and the character would appear in "Paris," "Donkey," and "Small Opening." Back at home, Saffy is visited by a very hyper and spastic Sarah. Saffy reports the job interview went very well. The night continues for Eddy and Patsy at the club, and soon Eddy is giving away songs to ex-Boyzone member, Stephen Gately. Patsy tries to keep herself occupied with actor Michael Greco. The night ends back at Eddy's with Eddy deciding to let Patsy give her parralox injections, so she'll look her best on "Richard And Judy." Eddy awakens the next morning to find her entire face is paralyzed. She manages to find Saffy in the kitchen just as Saffy is getting hired for the job. The morning turns out to be a disaster for both of them. Saffy ends up being rejected for the job due to her unwillingness to help her mother while the interviewer is there, and Eddie is replaced by Katy Grin for the "Richard And Judy" appearance. Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan appear as themselves. Antony Cotton debuts on the show as Damon, and repeats the role in "Menopause." Watch the crowd in the nightclub scenes, and you may see a woman who amazingly looks like Madonna (the woman is sitting.)
