This hit British comedy series began 1992 and remains one of the BBC's highest rated and most popular shows.

Absolutely Fabulous follows the lives of three (and later four) generations of the Monsoon family and the people around them.

It began as a short French & Saunders sketch with Jennifer Saunders in her familiar role as Edina and Dawn French playing her daughter. A pilot for the series was filmed with the comediennes in those respective roles but Julia Sawalha was cast to replace French. Add a dash of actress Joanna Lumley and the immensly popular and entertaining series was born.

Wheel's on fire,
Rolling down the road!
Best notify my next of kin,
This wheel shall explode!… Expand

Season 3 Review: As always, Saunders is heroic in her slapstick self-abasement, and Lumley is extraordinary as a pained, haughty beauty gone to glorious seed. Read full review

Season 6 Review: Jennifer Saunders' Edina and Joanna Lumley's Patsy are as deliciously delusional as ever in the Britcom's 20th-anniversary special. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Much better than the second season, happily. [12 Jun 1995]

Season 1 Review: Now they are the last blinkered women in the bunker, hoarding designer shoes and awaiting an Evite back to the glamorous life. They don't belong there, and that's what makes them so welcome. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Their unwavering obliviousness to what may be happening in the world actually makes their accidental commentary on current events even funnier. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Once past its shock concept, however, Ab Fab (as its overseas fans call it) simply doesn't have the punchlines to match the wonderfully over-the-top performances of Saunders and Lumley. Read full review
