    Series two's best episode?

    The Girls entertain their new neighbours, after an enjoyable, successful evening, two Detectives arrive, and explain that their new neighbours are criminals, The Detectives ask to stay over, to catch their criminals.

    A contender for best episode of series two, it's a joy fest from start to finish, and I don't just mean George Clooney's ridiculously handsome face either. Incredibly original, it's another shining example of the show's extensive variety.

    Multiple memorable, funny moments, Sophia tormenting Al at the table, Blanche flirting, Rose tongue tied, Dorothy hitting Rose with the magazine, it is so very funny.

    Absolutely loved Joseph Cmpanella's presence here, what a lovely, charming actor, he made for a perfect love interest.

    10/10.
