Lots of laughs.

Roses wealthy Uncle Hingeblotter has left her $100,000 on proviso that she looks after baby, a 29 year old pig, the girls aren't keen, but a share of the funds helps.

First of all, Sophia had all of the best one liners, she really does steal the show in those rather stylish dark rimmed glasses. It's a crazy, funny watch, you have got to credit the writers, week in week out they managed to add real variety, this is another original, I can think of nothing remotely similar to this.

Several funny moments, Sophia thinking she's in the loo was funny, Sophia thinking the pig was Dorothy, a hilarious moment.

It's amazing what people will do for a bit of cash, poor Rose, so sweet and naive, she's living in a shark house.

7/10.
