Watch Absolutely Fabulous
Produced by the BBC, Absolutely Fabulous has gained a devout following both in the UK and abroad. The show originated from the creative minds of writers and comediennes, Jennifer Saunders (who plays the lead role of Edina Monsoon) and Dawn French. Essentially, Absolutely Fabulous is an expansion of the French and Saunders comedy sketch show made popular in the UK's, Comedy Strip.
On the show, Saunders is joined by veteran actresses, Joanna Lumley (Patsy Stone) and June Whitfield (Edina's mother) to further spice up the show's daring grit and dry humor. The character, Saffron, Edina's conservative and uptight daughter is played by English-Jordanian actress, Julia Sawalha.
Absolutely Fabulous is consistent in drawing viewers with its dynamic wit and uncompromising comedic flare. Edina, Mother, Patsy, and Saffron all present the issues common to most people but without taking life too seriously.
