Absolutely Fabulous

Absolutely Fabulous

Edina Monsoon and her best friend Patsy drive Eddie's sensible daughter, Saffron, up the wall with their constant drug abuse and outrageous selfishness. Numerous in-jokes and heavy doses of cruel humour have made this series a cult hit in the UK and abroad.

Bubble has e-mailed Edinas personal address book and correspondence to rival PR person Claudia Bing and the only client left on Edinas books is Twiggy. "Ive been in worse trouble before. I shall rise again like the Phoenix!" Eddy declares. Twiggy however, has other ideas. With her empire crumbling before her eyes, Edina knows that something has to give. Saffy arranges an MA (Menopause Anonymous) meeting to give a reluctant Patsy and Eddy the chance to share their feelings and learn to love their hormone patches with an array of weird and wonderful women. After a visit to her gynaecologist, going through "the change" begins to have a dramatic effect on Patsy. A new, altogether fluffier Patsy - a domestic goddess begins to break through her hardened veneer. Will she ever be the same again?

But a lot has changed since we last saw them - now divorced, Max is gay and Bettina is clinically insane. Bettina transforms the kitchen into a stairless white box, but even Edina hates it. Patsy, meanwhile, develops serious health problems and walks around with an IV stand. Saffron returns from her wedding to John in Kenya and reveals that he is a polygamist. Edina and Patsy head off to meet designers Terence Conran and Kunz for inspiration. At the latter's store, Edina claims to have seen her ideal kitchen in a previous life, so she hires a channeler. What results is a channelling that causes so much disruption in the household that Saffron and Edina argue once again, and Edina winds up assaulting baby Jane (which is contrary to her behavior - Edina is known for many things, but physical violence to family members is not one of them). Saffron has finally reached her breaking point, and kicks Edina and Patsy out of her house

This gives Patsy, Fleur, and Catriona the perfect opportunity to take London Fashion Week by storm. Having got a taste for flash photography, frocks and male models, Patsy sets her sights across the Atlantic and plans a trip to New York Fashion Week. Eddy is still trying to lose weight while also attempting to properly train Bubble as her PA. However Mother lets it slip that Eddys long lost son Serge is not studying at the bottom of the ocean, but living in the party capital of America - New York. Despite Saffy's best attempts to hide her brothers exact whereabouts, Eddy and Patsy set their sights on the Big Apple in search of Serge and some "bling, bling". While the pair wreak havoc in the city that never sleeps, Bo and Serge's father, Marshall are running a Christian TV show and Saffy is observing the world from inside a cupboard as she believes this will help her career as a writer.

The BEST Ab Fab one liners, scenes, and out takes with Eddie (Jennifer Saunders), Patsy (Joanna Lumley), Saffie (Julia Sawalha), Gran (June Whitfield) & Bubbles (Jane Horrocks). Taken from series one and two. Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone are two immature, chain-smoking, alcoholic prosperous, but preposterous substance-abusing fashion and fad-obsessed Londoners who value fame and style over substance (unless they are controlled substances). Saffron, Edina's daughter, provides the persistently dour voice of Monsoon and Stone's super-ego. Edina and Saffy live in a house in Holland Park (and not the outskirts, but the rich heartland of Holland Park), with Patsy spending most of her time there as well.

It's a big night for Patsy. She's about to host the Style Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. Patsy has acquired some exclusive Huki Muki gear for the occasion. Saffy having reached blimp-size is about to go into labour and opts for a home birth. Unfortunately her waters break all over Patsy's awards outfit. Patsy is naturally apoplectic with rage. Her hatred for Saffy reaches new heights. Edina is meanwhile paralysed by her squeamishness. It's hard to believe she once gave birth to a child herself.

But help is at hand - in the unexpected form of Patsy. Unbeknownst to Saffy, Patsy has found Jane a modelling assignment. Now if Saffy can just be persuaded to leave the house with John... Free from Saffy's watchful eyes Eddy, Patsy and Jane head off to the fashion shoot. Jean-Paul Gaultier is on location much to the delight of Eddy and Patsy.

Ab fab to return- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt4cigk5mWA It's been a big year in the Monsoon household, Saffy has got herself a boyfriend and given birth to a baby girl. Edina has come to terms with becoming a grandmother - but not with her grand-daughter's name Jane, she prefers Lola. Even more surprisingly she's developed a closer relationship with Saffron. Patsy meanwhile is feeling put out and neglected, particularly after failed attempts to move into celebrity styling and awards presenting, not to mention the discovery of those porn movies. However Christmas is guaranteed party time - Patsy and Eddie always go away to somewhere hot and exotic and drink themselves into a stupor. Patsy hates Christmas and refuses to acknowledge its existence. Unfortunately Eddie has other plans this year and for the very first time, she wants to stay at home with Saffy and her grand-daughter. She's even applying her usual restrained shopping style on Christmas presents. Saffy is thrilled with her Mum's new found interest in Christmas but is getting tired of her attempts to commercialise the day. Bubble meanwhile is less impressed with her new role as the Christmas Fairy while Bo and Marshall are working on a fantastic new product "Staylene" - ideal for dealing with Christmas excesses. John is fascinated to find out that Eddie's first husband is gay and has a lot of questions to ask. All of this Christmas spirit is too much for Patsy, she starts hallucinating about past Christmas' with her mother and sister. She collapses and has to be rushed into hospital. Has 43 (67) years of drug and alcohol abuse finally taken its toll - is this the end for Patsy?

#	Title	Original airdate
1	"Fashion"	12 November 1992 (1992-11-12)
Edina ‘Eddy’ Monsoon, wakes up with a hangover and to a guilt trip from her daughter, Saffron, whom Eddy had promised she would stop drinking. Saffron offers her mother no sympathy, despite it being the day of her big fashion show. Edina’s best friend, Patricia ‘Patsy’ Stone, arrives to accompany her to work, after lunch and a trip to Harvey Nichols. By the time they arrive, the guest list is looking pretty bleak: instead of Princess Diana, Princess Anne is coming. Edina rallies to cajole and swindles several celebrities into attendance, turning the show into a rousing success. Following the reception, Patsy and Eddy stop by her office drunk and reminiscing on the past. When they arrive back at Eddy’s house, Saffy slams the door in her face. The next morning Patsy and Eddy work together to trick Saffy into thinking Eddy is going to check into the Betty Ford Clinic. Guest stars:Nickolas Grace (Jonny), Lucy Blair (Lou-Lou)
2	"Fat"	19 November 1992 (1992-11-19)
After realising that the majority of her clothes no longer fit her, Eddy decides that she needs to lose weight. Ignoring Saffy's advice about eating right and taking exercise, she phones her private doctor in an attempt to get some weight-loss pills. Unsuccessful, Patsy enters and suggests that plastic surgery is the best method. At the office, Bubble tells Eddy that Penny Caspar-Morse is coming to visit, an old acquaintance who used to be known as "The Stick" and mocked Eddy about her weight. Eddy tries to exercise, but with Penny coming to town soon, she allows Patsy to schedule an appointment for some liposuction, to shrink Edina and make her lips bigger. After a disturbing nightmare about the procedure going wrong, Eddy goes off the idea and just decides to cover up as much of herself as she can with a large, long sweatshirt. Patsy enters and tells Eddy some good news: Penny is blind and won't know how much Eddy weighs. Later, Eddy drunkenly brags how successful and thin she has become, and grabs Penny's hands and places them on her waist showing how big she is. Guest stars: Anthony Asbury (Georgy), Alexandra Bastedo (Penny Caspar-Morse), Russell Kilmister (Surgeon)
3	"France"	26 November 1992 (1992-11-26)
Eddy goes on holiday to a chateau in the south of France with Patsy, even though neither of them knows any French. After a boozy flight, they drive to the chateau only to discover that it's actually a rustic cottage. There's no food or wine, and a chainsmoking old Frenchman keeps stopping by to say, in French "What are you doing here? They're waiting for you at the chateau!" They can't understand him, and they try to divert him. Saffy arrives a day or two later to rescue them; Bubble comes along because she's supposed to deliver an urgent message concerning Eddy's home decorating business, but she forgets all about it. Days pass: Eddy and Patsy get drunk at a local vintage but also try some quieter activities, such as watercolor painting and table tennis, which Patsy enjoys after she refreshes herself with a little cocaine. Bubble suddenly remembers the message and Eddy panics and rushes to get home. As they prepare to leave the cottage, the old Frenchman stops by and repeats his message to Bubble, who understands perfectly. Later, British Customs detains the whole party when a bag containing white powder is found in Patsy's luggage, but they are freed with a warning when the powder turns out to be 'a perfectly harmless, innocent substance'. Patsy, instead of being relieved, is horrified because she paid a huge amount of money on the substance. Also appearing: Geoff McGivern (Customs Officer), Juliette Mole (Air Hostess), Robert Ripa (Old Frenchman)
4	"Iso Tank"	3 December 1992 (1992-12-03)
In the upstairs bathroom, Patsy helps Eddy break in her new isolation tank while Saffy, in the kitchen below, works on a presentation about DNA with several classmates, preparing for her Sixth Form College's Open Day. When Patsy and Eddy come downstairs, they hang around talking loudly for so long that Saffy asks her mother why she isn't at work. Eddy explains that her dimwitted secretary, Bubble, has emerged from an occupational hypnotism program mysteriously transformed into a willing helper who works with such dedication that there's nothing to do at the office any more. When Eddy eventually does go to work, she's proved correct: Bubble is dressed smartly and offers to sort out upcoming meetings while Eddy is reduced to reading a magazine. At home, feeling rejected and useless, Eddy takes a sudden interest in Saffy's DNA presentation and begs to be invited to the Open Day; Saffy, however, refuses point-blank. Eddy throws a tantrum, but it has no effect; she then threatens to adopt a Romanian baby. When Saffy calls her bluff, Eddy phones Bubble and instructs her to send over a selection of Romanian babies so she can pick one. She then leaves the room and frantically tries to cancel the deal, but it's already too late. Later, Saffy relents and tells Eddy she can come to the Open Day after all. The next day, during the presentation, a woman interrupts and asks for a Mrs. Edina Monsoon. Eddy walks out and returns holding a baby; then more and more babies are brought in until their wails drown everything out. Saffy screams furiously for her mother to leave. Eddy then wakes up in a panic, still in her iso tank, and realises it was just a dream.

It is Edina's 40th birthday. She isn't too pleased about it, either, and the surprise party Saffy has planned for her only makes her feel worse. Instead of a glamorous affair with fabulous guests and Japanese finger food, as she had hoped, her 40th birthday party turns out to be a family lunch, cooked by Saffy and served in the kitchen. The guest lists consists of: Eddy's two ex-husbands, Justin and Marshall with their new lovers, Bo and Oliver; Gran; Saffy; and Patsy. The birthday girl behaves very badly indeed, switching between self-pity and spite, and soon she provokes Oliver, her least favourite guest, into making an angry exit. Justin, Marshall, and Bo stoically remain, however, and while Eddy is upstairs getting stoned with Patsy they compare notes about their alimony payments and realise they've both been paying for Eddy's posh house. At the end, while Eddy and Patsy sing drunkenly with a new karaoke machine, Justin and Bo lay whispered plans to cut off Eddy's alimony.

7	"Hospital"	27 January 1994 (1994-01-27)
Patsy's indecent outings with an MP land her on the front page of every tabloid in the country, and if that wasn't bad enough, her age is listed as "47". This prompts her to take part in an interview with a reporter from 'Hello!' magazine who doesn't even know who Patsy is. Patsy prepares for the interview by improvising a facelift with surgical tape, then discovers the photographer won't be along for some time. Meanwhile, Eddy has a pain in her big toe, and after calling her doctor in Switzerland, she decides to go to a private hospital for surgery. Patsy tags along, planning to get a chemical peel and some eyelid rejuvenation before the Hello! photographer arrives. At the hospital, Edina and Patsy make life hell for the nurses and staff. While anesthetised, Edina dreams that she's on her deathbed and is receiving farewell visits from idealised versions of her family and friends: her daughter, played by Helena Bonham Carter, has followed in her footsteps; her ex-husband Justin – who is Richard E. Grant – still adores her and only told everyone he was gay because he could never love another woman; her mother is Germaine Greer; and Patsy who is Mandy Rice-Davies tells her how much she envies her good bone structure. Suzi Quatro also sings her a song. In an adjoining operating room, Patsy dreams of looking young for her Hello! spread. In the end, it all goes pear shaped; Edina wakes to find that her toe pains were caused by a stray acupuncture needle which worked its way from her cranium to her toe, and Patsy's skin is burned off her face.

Edina's "smaller" Alfa Romeo car gets clamped outside of Harvey Nichols, and they are later arrested for drunk driving and many other charges.
