Edina is set to appear in a mother/daughter fashion spread to be shot in Paris for a glam magazine; after she fails to secure Chloƫ Sevigny, Kate Beckinsale, or Liv Tyler to portray her daughter, she faces the realization that Saffy will have to do. Patsy is also invited for a shoot with the "face of the moment" Erin O'Connor as her fashion "daughter." After a quarrelsome ride on the Eurostar, the group arrives in Paris, where it turns out that fashion photographer Rimmer plans a generation-spanning neo-punk group fashion spread, to Patsy's dismay. After a quarrel between Edina and Saffy, the previously guidebook-bound Saf agrees to do Paris Eddy's way. The pair shop, dine at fancy eateries -- where Edina is shocked and delighted to learn that Saffy speaks fluent French -- and head to the Eiffel Tower to complete a tradition Edina and Patsy would do every year in Paris: flash their breasts at the world. However, Edina uses the occasion to trick Saffy into appearing in print topless, where she becomes in high demand. This episode of Absolutely Fabulous caused interest in the United Kingdom, due to a comment about the Taliban 3 days after the September 11 Terrorist Attacks in New York. It was hastily deleted from the BBC broadcast version but the original version was included on the DVD release. Also appearing: Dave Gorman (Rimmer, the Photographer), Sacha Distel (Himself), Christian Lacroix (Himself)
