I've been in an Ab-Fab mood these past few days, sweetie-darlings!
Haven't been feeling so great, so I've been in bed a lot, running every damn episode of that wonderful show! God, it's been a while, so it's like it's new again. Hee-larious!

1. Oh sweetie - we all need a good dose of Pats and Eddie every
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 07:08 PM by Scout1071
now and again. Now that you bring it up, I could go for a few episodes myself. And it goes without saying that I'm now craving champagne simultaneously. I really must buy the series on DVD.

Cheers joey!

3. Sorry to hear
you haven't been well. Did you at least have a good birthday, I hope? Love that show! Haven't seen it in ages since we don't have cable. One of the funniest shows ever!

4. Eh--my birthday was uneventful...really wasn't up to doing much, so
I'm celebrating this coming weekend. It wasn't awful--watched Ab-Fab with the cats, got some presents and phone calls. Could have been worse.

Thanks for asking!

8. I should check and see if they're going to do anything new...
...the last series was rather a disappointment--too many celebrity guest stars!

I tend to think the second series was the best--Edina and Patsy had absolutely NO redeeming characteristics then! They were vile and I loved it.

32. Oh yeah....that was hysterical. The sister episode was great. Wasn't
that the episode Bubbles was dressed like a dutch girl? LOL. When she brought the lapso to the house instead of a laptop. I LOVED Bubbles. I also loved Patsy's boss although half the time I couldn't understand a word she said.

I really need to buy all the episodes.

My two saddest days of my life: When Abfab ended and when Sex in the City ended. Abfab rates first!

42. Magda was great--a mile a minute!
Apparently the actress who played Patsy's sister had a role on Dr. Who for quite some time, so for British audiences it was an inside joke to see her as Jackie. Apparently she was evil on Dr. Who.

20. Oh...this is making me HAPPY! I love abfab.....here's more...
I'm very important, I decide the direction, the agencies, the new, the gorgeous, the wham, the bam, the floosh, the boosh, the new noir. Just decisions, decisions, decisions. I say what goes in this show.

PS: this used to be my sig line.

15. Did you see the episode of "Roseanne"
when the AB-FAB girls visited? It was great. I've never seen AB FAB so I don't know what their names are.


I know, I know. A gay man who's never seen AB FAB. It happens. :hi:

19. Get your sorry ass to a viudeo store and rent ALL the episodes now!
It's Patsy and Edina.

No, I never saw that episode! Damn!

Apparently Roseanne bought the US rights to the show--and, yes, it never got made here. Once you see it--AND YOU WILL SEE IT--you'll see why they couldn't get away with this stuff on American television.

27. I will have to check it out.
I heard it's great. They were awesome on that ep. of Roseanne.
It was from the last season when they hit the Lottery.
The first part of the ep. when they're on is great. The second half of that ep. sucks.

21. Patsy and Edwina.
Their real names are Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders and I think they are far and away the best female comic duo since Lucy and Ethel. The writing on that show is nothing short of brilliant.

I read that Roseanne Barr actually bought the rights to create an American version, but I never saw it developed.

I would love for Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French to "cross the pond" with a new show. Fabulous darling!

29. I hate to contradict you
but Patsy was played by the brilliant Joanna Lumley. Dawn French was only a writer for the show.

35. No, French was the original Saffy in the skit they did for their
show, on which AbFab was based. It was just Mom and daughter arguing, and Patsy was introduced in the series--always played by Joanna Lumley. Danw French really couldn't do Saffy because she was too old!

39. I love her in everything...and she looks better in those movies than on
AbFab--they really powder her face up unnaturally white--sort of ghoulish. But I think that's the effect they're going for.

36. Ah yes. I stand corrected. Joanna Lumley is absolutely the Pats
I know and love. How awful of me! For punishment, I will self inflict a full night of champagne and Ab Fab one night this week.

30. Joanna Lumley, not Dawn French
Dawn French created Eddie and Patsy with Saunders for their show, "French & Saunders," but Joanna Lumley plays Patsy in the series. Dawn French has been a guest star and done some writing, however.

In his mind you're already flat out on your back and staked out."

41. Did you know that the theme tune ('Wheels on Fire')
is sung by Jennifer Saunders husband Ade Edmonson? (He's a very successful comedian in his own right, who you may know from 'The Young Ones' and 'Bottom' (& indeed, alongside Saunders in some of the 'Comic Strip Presents ...').

do scenes at Patsy's magazine.
