Programme three follows Lisa Johnson and her husband Joe on a trip to Milan to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. Going along with Lisa and Joe is their youngest son, Blue, and on this occasion they have opted to leave the nanny at home. On the way to the airport they practice their Italian.

“Chara bella” ventures Lisa “nah that ain’t right”. “Ben missimo?” attempts Joe before settling on the Spanish “Gracias”.

Back in Marbella, café owner Barbs talks about her desire for a companion then complains to fellow belle, Louise Marriot, that she is finished with men altogether.

“I’ve gone off men. I’m going to go gay and join a nunnery!”

Instead, however, Barbs decides to go to a personal trainer in an attempt to shed a few pounds and is shocked by the build of her hunky trainer, who isn’t particularly impressed by Barbs choice of refreshment, a mini champagne bottle!

Having arrived in Milan, Lisa and Joe are caught in a downpour which results in Lisa running through the streets in a shower cap in search of the most expensive baby shop in Milan where she spends a whopping 1500 Euros.

In response to Barb’s moaning, Louise Marriott has decided to throw a dinner party with several eligible bachelors. Barb’s horoscope has suggested that she may find love with a man named Brian; however the Brian who will be attending the party is already spoken for. Barbs is undeterred by this informing Louise:

“My motto is if you can’t find your own, pinch someone else’s!”

Lisa’s next stop on her shopping trip is less successful. After trying on several items, and being extremely shocked by their price, Lisa apologises to the staff and leaves empted handed. By the time she returns to the hotel however Joe is laden with bags and it’s time for a romantic meal during which Joe compares Lisa to …a horse!

Barbs evening ends less romantically when, although Louise’s dinner party is a success, Barbs search for a new man is not.
