HELEN SLATER Reflects On What She Saw On Set with FAYE DUNAWAY:
Helen Slater (Supergirl, The Legend of Billie Jean) joins us this week 
to talk about her experience being thrust into the iconic role of 
Supergirl at 18 years old and the many different pressures and 
difficulties that came along with it. Helen was so open this week - she 
gets candid about her desire to act and the deep fulfillment that she 
receives in studying mythology. We also talk about her deep bond with 
Helen Hunt, the hurdle she had to cross to get her parents’ acceptance 
for acting, and memories of iconic scenes while appearing in 
Smallville.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS:
I'm not sure if it's from oversaturation or I no longer find aging
baby boomers desperately trying to cling to their youth funny now.
I also realized I am now older than Patsy and Edina. :-O

"Fashion". P.R. consultant Edina - Eddy - Monsoon wakes up with a 
hangover - again - but gets no sympathy from sensible student daughter 
Saffy as she had promised Saffy she would book into a clinic. Eddy is 
organizing a fashion show later in the day but the celebrities keep 
dropping out and finally,encouraged by her equally alcoholic friend 
magazine editor Patsy Stone, Eddy pulls off a successful show by 
blackmailing stars into taking part. In the evening she gets Patsy to 
phone Saffy pretending to be from the clinic awaiting Eddy's admission

"Fat". Edina has put on weight and has trouble getting into her clothes 
so she is horrified when her secretary Bubble informs her of a 
forthcoming visit by pencil slim Penny Caspar-Morse,who once teased her 
about her weight. She is not keen on Saffy's idea that she takes 
exercise,the doctor will not give her slimming pills and,after a 
nightmare,decides against Patsy's suggestion of liposuction. 
However,when Penny arrives,it seems she has been temporarily blinded,so 
Eddy will get away with it - or will she?

"France".Eddy and Patsy are off to France but find themselves staying, 
not in the expected chateau but a tiny cottage where they feel 
threatened by an old Frenchman whose language they cannot understand. 
When Saffy and Bubble arrive, usual air-head Bubble surprises with her 
perfect French, explaining that he was inviting them to move into the 
chateau further up the road. A pleasant holiday results though. On the 
return home, Customs find a white powder in Patsy's luggage, which 
turns out to be perfectly harmless - to her annoyance.

"ISO Tank". Banned from attending Saffron's college open day, Edina 
tries to get her own back by threatening to adopt a Romanian baby, a 
scheme which totally backfires.

"Birthday". On her 40th birthday, Edina must deal with her conflicted 
feelings about reaching the milestone age, and the grim family party 
Saffron has arranged for the occasion.

"Magazine". While making one of her sporadic appearances at work, Patsy 
is roped into appearing on television in a makeover segment, and is 
forced to turn to Saffron for help.

"Hospital". Eddy is in hospital with a sore foot and Patsy has booked 
in for facial surgery in readiness for a gossip magazine interview 
about a recent indiscretion. They are both very demanding patients. 
Whilst under anaesthetic Eddy dreams she is dying and surrounded by a 
glamorous version of her real family. When she wakes up she finds the 
pain was caused by an acupuncture needle which went astray whilst 
Patsy's treatment is a disaster.

"Death". When Edina's father passes away, Saffron is horrified by her 
mother's lack of grief, which soon manifests itself in a realisation of 
her own mortality.

"Morocco". Patsy and Eddy go to Marrakesh in Morocco,accompanied by 
Saffy,who is on a college project,staying with lecherous 'Uncle' 
Humphrey,whose advances Saffy rejects. After Eddy has revealed that 
Patsy once had an unsuccessful sex change here they get robbed and 
Patsy sells Saffy to white slavers for money. The two older women 
travel into the desert for the shoot,meeting Saffy whom Eddy convinces 
they were looking for. Back at the villa Patsy and Eddy get stoned 
whilst Saffy has a sexual adventure with Humphrey's young local 
servant.

SVENGHOULIE:
"Blackula". An African prince bitten by Dracula stalks the Los Angeles
night in search of his lost princess.

DOCTOR WHO:
"Underworld". On the edge of the universe, the Doctor, Leela and K9 
encounter a Minyan ship on an epic quest to find their race banks... 
but their people have encountered the Time Lords before.
Wow! There was a LOT of (bad) chromakey used in this ep!
