Product Description
Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, June Whitfield and Julia Sawalha star in the award-winning TV comedy series that defined the early 90s. Now Eddie and Patsy's hilarious escapades can be heard on audio - crack open the Bolly! Birthday: It's Edina's 40th birthday and she's at her most vitriolic. To mark the catastrophic occasion, Saffron organises a boring old family lunch. But maybe Eddie's two exhusbands will liven things up a bit. Fat: Prepare the liposuction tables, Edina's on a diet. Forget the pills/chanting/mung beans - they're not enough! There's only one thing for it - she'll have to exercise...

Format:Paperback
This is the transcript of first series of AbFab. It is very amusing as you see how the TV series was written, though it doesn't always follow the way the TV series goes, it is still very good and in the unique humour Ms. Saunders it is a very good read. Before it goes into the transcripts there is a foreward about how AbFab came about by Jennifer Saunders and how she decided on her cast. This book is a must have for both hard core AbFab fans and casual or curious watchers. Even if you haven't seen the TV series this book is a good starting point to see what you are letting yourself if for with the series.

Format:Audio CD
Shame there's only one CD in this. That said, they're both utterly hilarious. 'Birthday' about Edina's 40th contains Edina at her bitchest, slagging off ex-husbands, along with their respective partners and of course being so rude to her daughter as usual at the family party. Saffy's put downs though keep the balance. Patsy and Bubble keep the laughs coming, and the second episode 'Fat' contains the classic line where Edina says about 'inside this woman is a slim person trying to get out,' and June Whitfield as Mother gives the ultimate put down, "Just the one dear?!"
A wonderful modern comedy classic.

The full scripts for the first season
7 April 1998
Format:Paperback
This book is the perfect companion for any "AbFab" fan. If you don't know what "AbFab" is, perhaps you should buy the book anyway in order to read some of the best, sharpest, and most right-on satirical sitcom writing since the days of "All in the Family." Edina and Patsy are fashion-obsessed, substance-crazed, self-absorbed Baby Boomers. Saffron is Edina's prim daughter. Fans will find this book interesting by noting how and where the text differs slightly from the actual shows as they were put on tape. Some good bits are included in here that were left out of the final shows; due, I suppose, to time limitations. Well, cheers Jennifer Saunders, thanks a lot, babe!

A brilliant example of comedy writing
8 Jun 1998
Format:Paperback
Jennifer Saunders is a comedienne loved all over the world for her dead-on characterizations & biting satire. If you have seen the television show "Absolutely Fabulous," you know how Saunders can inhabit a character and make it her own. Now with this and her follow-up "Absolutely Fabulous 2," you will see just what a wonderful and inspired writer she is. The rapid-fire wit of her writing jumps from the page straight into your psyche. Hilarious characters, well written, and later well performed in the television series. This is a must for any "AbFab" fan, but I also highly recommend it to anyone who loves comedy or likes to read tight, smart & funny character plays.

Absolutely Hilarious
6 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Hello,
Jennifer Saunders is a comedy genius and this has to be one of her best works to date. It reveals the completely obnoxious side of the quick fix 80's and 90's, with mood shifts that go from bizarre machinations to impulsive, thoughtless and wreckless PR.
Contemporary British comedy at its excruciatingly exacting best.
Regards,
Martyn R Jones
