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.

This season was really a grower, though it was quite brilliant. The whole season being based around Saffy's pregnancy was an excellent choice, as we see her rivalry with Patsy become even stronger. Jennifer Saunder's makes the characters even older and loopier and its quite hilarious.
