Everyone knew that Jennifer Saunders was funny from her years of comedy specials with Dawn French as French & Saunders; but who would have thought that Joanna Lumley, previously best known as Patrick Macnee's girl-spy sidekick on The New Avengers, was such a bang-on comedienne? In the second series of Absolutely Fabulous, every appearance of human gargoyle Patsy Stone (Lumley, looking like the mutant love child of Keith Richards and Ivana Trump) is a comic tour de force--she slumps into a room like a marionette with its strings cut, unleashes a rotting-corpse grin or a reptilian scowl, supports Edina in every half-wit scheme and leaches off of her like an intestinal parasite. Series 2 is pretty bang-on throughout and manages to give the characters--Patsy, infantile p.r. agent Edina Monsoon (Saunders), Edina's long-suffering daughter Saffron (Julia Sawalha, Chicken Run), Edina's mother (June Whitfield, co-star of many Carry On movies), and Edina's dimwitted assistant Bubble (Jane Horrocks, Life is Sweet)--greater emotional range without losing an iota of scathing humor. Face-lifts, Morocco, alimony, rebirthing, and the death of Edina's father are all fodder for sharp, unflinching satire. But the core theme of the season is the unhealthily enmeshed friendship between Edina and Patsy, which sparks jealousy and backbiting but, when the chips are down (or the champagne and diet pills running low), an undying loyalty. Truly one of the richest and funniest Britcoms of all time. --Bret Fetzer

Ab Fab is awesome as always, but might sound a little different... February 14, 2008
Let me echo all the stellar reviews given for this series. HOWEVER, I do need to bring up one small quibble. As due to music licensing issues, all of the episodes in the Series 2 DVD do not have "Wheel's on Fire" as the theme tune, instead being replaced by similar generic music. This apparently also affects the instances in which you'd hear dialogue during the end credits, as the generic music drowns all that out. This is also the series of Ab Fab, I believe, that has the infamous "Like a Prayer" edit.

I am not discouraging you from buying the DVD, but as backup, save your BBC Video VHS or tapings from Comedy Central or whatever. Strangely, the original music is intact on Series 1 and 3 of the original three. If there's any edits I didn't notice on those, someone please let me know.

Eddie & Patsy continure their reign of terror on morality June 25, 2006
What do you get when you put the worst of the 60's, 70's and 80's and set it in the 90's? Well it must be Absolutely Fabulous.

Hospital - Patsy, once again, is involved in a political sex scandal. She has sold her story to Hello magazine (UK equivalent of People.) But the interviewer makes a statement about Patsy's age, she flips. Edina is having a problem with her big toe and needs surgery, so Patsy decides to join her with some plastic surgery. The two wreak havoc on the hospital.

Death - When Eddie's father dies, she shops. In the end, she and Patsy show up at the burial in their usual state, totally smashed.

Morocco - Eddie is promoting a new trashy sunglass. And Patsy has put them in a photo shoot. The shoot is in Morocco, so party time. Saffy is study the area and she convince her mother to tag along. The girls are expecting a week of sex, drugs and shopping.

New Best Friend - Eddie's old friends are visiting again, this time with their new born baby. This time though, Patsy is not so tolerant and decided to prove that Eddie can be replaced. After Eddie finds baby puke and Lacrois don't mix, she goes looking for Patsy. This ends in a restaurant with Eddie and Patsy trying to impress each other with their new best friends. Miranda Richardson and Lulu make guest appearances.

Poor - When the exes compare notes, they both realize that they are both supporting Eddie and cut her off. So Saffy cuts off Eddie's extravagances. So instead of using a car service, Eddie buys a sports car. And she and Patsy go on their version of a Thelma and Louise spree.

Birth - Saffy and Eddie are awakened by the fire department to find out that their kitchen has gone up in flames. And Patsy makes a startling entrance. When the girls accidentally get locked in the living room, each remembers their birth.

DVD EXTRAS: 16 minutes of great outtakes!

One Of The Best Seasons April 27, 2006
Absolutely Fabulous had been launched from a sketch Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders had written in their third series of French And Saunders in 1990. It saw Jennifer Saunders playing Edina Monsoon, a neurotic fashion designer who does very little work and constantly puts upon her poor, frustated daughter, Saffron which in that sketch was played by Dawn French.

In 1992, that initial sketch was further developed into a series of its own with this time, Julia Shawala playing Edina's daughter, Saffron. Also in the casting was Joanna Lumley as Edina's scavanging best "friend", Patsy Stone, who also is in the fashion industry but does very little work, as the case with Edina. It was interesting to see Joanna Lumley escape her usual aristocratic image in favour of the foul-mouthed, drug-taking, chain-smoking, promiscuous alcoholic, Patsy and she plays the role superbly, really injecting life into the series. TV veteran, June Whitfield played Edina's completely batty mother which she plays to perfection whilst the multi-talented Jane Horrocks plays the blatantly incompetent Bubble, P.A to Edina. A perfect piece of casting here in what would emerge as the smash hit comedy series of the 1990's and an absolute masterpiece.

In 1994, a second season was filmed and was better than ever and fully in its swing (and prime). The rollercoaster dialogue is astoundingly razor sharp throughout each six episodes in the series.

Hospital opens the series where Patsy decides to brave all and go under the knife for cosmetic surgery, following her unhealthy obsession for wanting to look young. Funeral is played out almost like pure black comedy where Edina's father dies but unable to face her emotions refuses to go the funeral.....that is until she drinks several bottles of champaigne.

Morrocco is an absolute gem in the series and one of my own personal favourites. Pats, Edina and Saffron all fly off to Morrocco following Edina's promotional prospects for her new sunglasses design, laughably entitled, Pop Specs. After arranging an interview with Vogue magazine in the heart of a quiet, seemingly deserted town, they end up getting lost and also sell Saffy off as a slave. The comic timing and witty one-liners are delivered impeccably throughout this episode and indeed as the case with every other episode of season 2.

New Best Friend sees the special guest apperance of the British singer, Lulu whilst Poor is one of the ultimate classics of the entire four seasons to date. Edina is forced to cut-back on her extravagent lifestyle she and Patsy had been lapping up and during a shopping trick they get arrested for drunk-driving. Hilarious stuff!

The second series winds up with another comic gem, Fire, in which Patsy burns down Edinas kitchen and whilst all sitting down watching television in the upstairs lounge, they get locked in accidentally by Eddy's batty mother. Eddy, Pats and Saffy soon reveal some of their inner-most secrets. There are some hilarious comic moments in this episode and the dialogue completely sparkles all the way making you just want more at the end of the episode.

Absolutely Fabulous was the smash hit of the 1990's!
