Sweetie darlings...

don’t they all look Absolutely Fabulous! The Ab Fab cast reunited for a one-off special looking back at the much-loved sitcom set in the world of fashion and PR. The two-hour UKTV show is the first time Jane Horrocks (Bubble), Joanna Lumley (Patsy), Jennifer Saunders (Eddie) and Julia Sawalha (her daughter Saffy) have been in the same room since 2016. It promises to be a magical trip down memory lane for fans and will also pay tribute to June Whitfield (Eddie’s unnamed mother) who died in 2018.



Writer Jennifer joked: “I loved making Ab Fab but I can’t remember a great deal, so much of this retrospective is a revelation.” Joanna added: “It was a fabulous wander down memory lane by actresses who only have the faintest grip on reality. Thrilling.

” Producer Jon Plowman said: “Perhaps the secret of our success was the amount of champagne consumed on set.” Back in 2020, Joanna revealed her thoughts on a potential reunion. In an appearance on Loose Women , the actress was asked if Ab Fab could make a comeback.

She replied: "Well god, I wish they'd tell me! I don't think it will be, I don't think Jennifer [Saunders] ever wants to write any more Ab Fab. But it never really goes away, the feeling that these characters still exist somewhere. "I would be so nice to do something, me and Jennifer are in constant contact and we are half thinking of something, but it won't be Ab Fab the reunion.

And also I don't think we should do it without June Whitfie.
