Mandy Season 3 is to Premiere on BBC Two

Nobody actually likes bread sauce, do they? It tastes like someone's eaten a piece of bread, chewed it up and spat it onto your plate. Merry Christmas.

Mandy Carter is a woman with big dreams - and today her dream is to find work. But the only thing available to her is a job in a fruit packing factory, where a big mallet will come in handy.

Lola has not had a customer in her beauty salon for two days so Mandy suggests she introduce fish pedicures. Only to buy the wrong kind of fish.

After advertising her home on Airbnb, Mandy takes in a guest from Russia - and they soon become more than friends. But can he be trusted?

Mandy enters the local line dancing endurance challenge - only to find herself up against an old rival.

She's lived a life that's full, she's travelled each and every highway. And more, much more than this, she did it Mandy. 

It's dinner at Trent Manor. And everyone around the table has a motive for murdering Lord Trent. But who did? Mandy wasn't invited to the Manor, so she's off doing something else.

Have you ever seen a sofa you like in a shop window and really wanted it? Wanted it so much you can't stop thinking about it? Wanted it so much you feel physically sick? Wanted it so much that nothing else in your life matters and you would do anything, literally anything to get it, no matter the cost?

Of course you have, we all have. And at long last, someone has made a comedy film about really really wanting a sofa.

We could tell you the sofa is a metaphor for something – happiness maybe, or equality perhaps. But it isn't. It's just a really nice sofa.
