A fifth series of Absolutely Fabulous is to be made following the success of the special episode shown over Christmas.

Pills and booze are ready sweetie!!! Can't wait to see you in the show!!!! And my life is good for a while, I have the new series to look forward to!!!

After a slow start, the new episode was off and flying once they actually hit NY. Loved Serge's boyfriend AND the Whoopi gay marriage bit lots - and good to see them in new situations with new jokes.

And it goes without saying that it was thrilling to see Debbie, glammie and Jackie Bigalow, even if it was brief, AND to hear Deb's "Wheels of Fire" as well as the all-Blondie soundtrack..Even "Presence, Dear", my all time favorite!!

And I adored Jennifer actually daring to make a 9/11 joke in the beginning...Especially after sharing that weird-but-magical night with her in October 2001 NY...

Fabulous, sweetie!

Yeah, The Fishsticks were all great but...
Serge's gay boyfriend was hysterical! I hope they keep him. And Mo Gaffney was fab as always.

Yay!

I thought it was Fabulous!!!! I loved every single bit of it!! Can't wait for the new series!!

Serges boyfriend is hilarious. Such a nice guy too! they would be crazy to not have him in the new series. oh and me too.......

Here's a kool message board if any of you are interested. It's on the French and Saunders website, and there are lots of people from all over the world that post there. It's a great way to keep up to speed with whats happening in the fabulous world of AbFab and Jennifer Saunders! Cheers Sweeties!!

I couldn't agree more sweetie!!

Due to begin filming in June!! Wish I was lucky enough to go see it!! I envy those that do!!

The New York Episode was on last night.
Serge's BF is the best new character def! (besides the Fishsticks of course)
He is hysterical!

Will you look at what I'm wearing!

they have been showing that episode on some airline because 2 different people have come up to me and said they freaked out on a flight when they saw me come up on the screen. It must be British Airways or something.

but I agree Daddy BF is the greatest charecter.

" I need pecs!"

The new series of AbFab is off and rolling with 2 recordings complete. Epi one (Cleanin) and epi 2 (Clubbin). There are quiet a few surprises in this new series!! I won't tell you what they are! Don't want to spoil it for anybody! This is gonna be one of Jen's best!!! She is still the queen of comedy!!!

I can't wait to see where they go with AbFab after seeing the New York episode. That episode goes WAY up there on my favorites list. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. My favorite parts had to be the ones with Whoopi Goldberg..."crazy ass white people!"

I hope the BF is in the new ones!

His face!!!!!! When Patsy catches fire on the bar at Hogs & Heifer's and Eddy throws a drink to put her out and she explodes.

The BF is absolutely hysterical!! "Look at what I'm wearing!!" And I just love the fact that they got married at the end of the episode...I think he'll definitely be back.

I got the inside scoop that they have just finished the last of the new AbFab episoides, and Sir Elton John gets to slap Patsy....thats all I can say....for now.

I am suprised no one has mentioned the new season yet. It is hysterical - they are right back on track again. Funny, sharp and acerbic writing - the thing Ms. Saunders does best. Outlandish celebrity guest stars. I love "Titticaca Two-ways" getting a restraing order from Baby Spice or Patsy "working" in the shop, Jeremy (it's a lifestyle, a concept...
Can't wait to see Saffy's labour and new baby - because mixed-raced babies are the fashion accessories of the season, sweetie! They are the Chanel of babies.
