6/10

Not a bad episode.

Saffy hires professional Gardner Jago Balfour to do the garden, Patsy recognises him as being from a wealthy family, so Edina moves in for the kill.

I can see that it is a well regarded episode, it has a pretty high score, but for me, it's not a winner, it's one of my least favourite episodes, but it's still pretty good, and I still watch it now and then.

When I compare it to some of series four, I just don't think it's a particularly funny episode, there are some good moments, including the scenes where Eddie makes out with Jago, but it just lacks some of the cutting dialogue that's present elsewhere.

There's no denying the presence of Jago, aka Crispin Bonham-Carter, he cuts a very dashing figure, and the thought of him rolling in it, no wonder she went for him!

Pretty good, 6/10.
