    Some hilarious one liners here.

    'I never had PMS, but I did have a BMW. '

    Blanche is behaving very erratically, initially believing she is pregnant, only to learn that she's starting to go through the change.

    Having loved series one, and getting through it very rapidly, I was keen to move on, good to see series two start off with a funny episode.

    Some of this is hilarious, Rose comes out with some extraordinarily funny one liners, Sophia of course gets some of the best lines. An erratic Blanche is super funny, it's very much her story, and as always Rue is magical.

    The mink element, tasteless and against most people's values now, but it was made back in 1986, attitudes towards the fur trade were very different. I understand the ladies all disliked the idea of the story, but if course it ended well.

    8/10.

      None of the actresses were thrilled with this script as it involved the girls raising minks for profit, however they did the show anyway. All of the actresses in real life were animal activists.

      In this episode, Dorothy says Stan never bought her a mink. However in the episode Break In (1985) , Dorothy said a mink, which Stan had given her, had been stolen.
