OK, Sweetie, I admit it - I've learnt to love Ab Fab

As Jennifer Saunders prepares to celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary with a selection of Christmas specials - and possibly a film - I am reminded of that period of my life. And do you know what? I could not be more excited.

Jennifer Saunders to write an Absolutely Fabulous film

Jennifer Saunders plans to pen an Absolutely Fabulous film next year, it has been revealed.

British Comedy Guide, 8th November 2011

With a title like Absolutely Fabulous, it is hard to see how Jennifer Saunders's series will acknowledge the economic downturn when its latest instalment is broadcast over Christmas.

Still, Harriet Thorpe, who appears in it, tells me: "Jennifer keeps everything current. She acknowledges the recession, but doesn't make it all about that."

Speaking at the first night of Crazy for You in the West End, Thorpe adds: "It's very clever, and, of course, incredibly funny to see how the characters cope."

Their co-star June Whitfield says, perhaps even more depressingly, that Eddy and Patsy are shown to be getting on a bit. The actress, 85, insists that this "opens up a whole new avenue of hilarity".
