What?Where?...

Guess who are back - again?

The Olympics special of "Absolutely Fabulous" will air in the UK on July 23rd.






Then, on July 30th, a new DVD comes out which includes all their recent specials:

They’re back – and behaving as outrageously as ever! 20 years after Eddy, Patsy, Saffy, Bubble and Mother first staggered into our lives, they return for three fantastic episodes! Patsy might be hiding a few more wrinkles, Eddy’s designer outfits are a size (or three) bigger, but the ageing fashionistas have lost none of their appetite for living it large, regardless of how ridiculous they look!

In these hysterical episodes, Saffy’s new best friend forces Patsy to finally reveal her age – to the nearest decade or two; Eddy signs up a legendary French actress for an Albert Hall performance, but can she sing? And, as London goes Olympics mad, someone rather important (Hollywood, darling) rents the house as the ladies undertake some gold medal schmoozing.

Guest starring; STELLA MCCARTNEY, EMMA BUNTON, LULU, LINDSAY DUNCAN, MO GAFFNEY AND LUCY MONTGOMERY

Special Features

Absolutely Fabulous Sport Relief Special--A unique special featuring some truly fabulous guest stars including Kate Moss, Stella McCartney, David Gandy, Linford Christie and Colin Jackson.

The Movie...

An Absolutely Fabulous movie is in the works, Jennifer Saunders has confirmed. She plans to start work on a film script next year.

"I want to write Ab Fab: The Movie," she confirmed. "We'd have so much fun, and I've thought of a really nice idea.

"We thought it would be hilarious if [Edina and Patsy] went to a party on an oligarch's yacht, got drunk, fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the ocean. Everyone else has left, and the ship has been moved on."

The project will enter production once Saunders completes work on the Spice Girls London stage musical Viva Forever. (*the galaxy leader takes a break to throw up*)
"I think she's a genius," said Langan. "I can't imagine anything more exciting than working with her."

Absolutely Fabulous will also return to TV with three different television specials. The first one will air on BBC this Christmas.

Fab!...

Hit comedy Absolutely Fabulous is to return to BBC One later this year with three specials to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, the BBC has said.

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley will return as Edina and Patsy along with other original cast members.

Julia Sawalha will resume the role of put-upon daughter Saffy, June Whitfield as Edina's mother and Jane Horrocks as personal assistant Bubble.

The award-winning series ran from 1992 to 2003 with a special in 2004.

It depicted the raucous, fashion addicted lives of PR guru Edina, with her constant weight battles, and her best friend, the glamorous sex-mad magazine editor Patsy.

Saunders, who is also the show's creator, said: "Like a good bottle of champagne we hope that we have got better with time without losing any of our sparkle.

"Last week when we started filming in dear old west London, it was as if nothing had changed. It was raining.

"Nevertheless, we are so happy to be working for an audience that has grown just a tiny bit older like us, but is still willing to let us fall over on TV in the name of PR."

Thanks to the lovely Jon over at Dolores Delargo for the info!

Back Again, Darling...

Joanna Lumley has reportedly confirmed that she will film new episodes of Absolutely Fabulous later this year.

The actress was quoted as in Hello magazine saying that she will begin work on new instalments this summer.

"In late August I start filming on three episodes of Absolutely Fabulous, which we are all ecstatic about," she said.



However, Lumley said that she has no idea what will happen when the show returns, saying: "Miss [Jennifer] Saunders has been so busy writing Uptown Downstairs Abbey for Comic Relief and also Spice Girls: The Musical, I don't think she's started [the script]!"

This will be FABULOUS, I'm sure!!! This is one of my favourite TV shows ever!
