Yes, she was. The show needed someone completely opposite of the 2 woman. Someone to speak for the normal people.

Of course Saffron was necessary. How else could one have seen the disparity between Patsy & Eddy and a normal person? She was the only "normal" one in the show. Even Eddy's mother was not...umm...normal. LOL

Does anyone know if there have been any recent episodes? Within the last few years?

Yes because it was written mother and daughter orignally,plus safforn kinda is the mother in the programme.

In the original series, definitely, for the reasons explained above. But come Series 4 and beyond, I found her less likable than Edina and Patsy are supposed to be. Since her character was changed to apparently out-and-out hate P&E, or so it seemed, there was no more voice of reason.

yeah Saffron was definitely necessary to look after her mother. On the other hand, Saffron had great zingers directed at Patsy and Edina. I just loved how Patsy was bitter about Saffron being born! It's so hilarious! Hands down Patsy is my favorite :D

Saffron was a cool character,she was always the rule book type!!

I do agree that as the years went by, Saffron got more and more mean. She seemed to move more toward hatred instead of dissapointment and impatience.
