Edina and Patsy (and Saffy and Bubble et al) returned to BBC One on Christmas Day with the episode \u201cIdentity\u201d \u2014 fabulous but not available online (legally) at the moment \u2014 and then again on New Year\u2019s Day with \u201cJob.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pee-your-knickers hilarious 29 minutes and 20 seconds. Grab your champers, your BFF and your knock-off LaCroix and enjoy it\u2026<\/p>\n

But only available for about a week. So watch it quickly (and often) while you can!<\/p>\n

Happy New Year and you\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.vimeo.com\/34459872<\/a>\n
