Three special episodes of Jennifer Saunder's sitcom marking the 20th anniversary since the series began. Saunders stars as Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon, a PR company owner who continually behaves like a teenager, while her daughter, Saffron (Julia Sawalha), is mature beyond her years. Eddie's best friend is aging former model Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) who drinks and smokes non-stop. June Whitfield also stars as Eddie's elderly mother and Jane Horrocks plays Eddie's ditsy personal assistant, Bubbles. In 'Identity' Patsy comes face-to-face with her drug dealer who she owes thousands of pounds. Eddie tries to help her come up with the money but Patsy may have to reveal her true age in the process. In 'Job' Eddie arranges for French actress Jeanne Durand (Lindsay Duncan) to give a concert at the Royal Albert Hall but difficulties arise with the realisation that the star can't actually sing. In 'Olympics' the London Olympics are fast-approaching and Eddie is finally beginning to feel the effects of aging. When she finds an invitation for an exclusive party it brings her closer to her fashion idol and the Olympic Stadium.
