Complete Series 2
Released On: September 13, 2005
Region: 1
Production Company: BBC Warner
Description:
Everyone knew that Jennifer Saunders was funny from her years of comedy specials with Dawn French as French & Saunders; but who would have thought that Joanna Lumley, previously best known as Patrick Macnee's girl-spy sidekick on The New Avengers, was such a bang-on comedienne? In the second series of Absolutely Fabulous, every appearance of human gargoyle Patsy Stone (Lumley, looking like the mutant love child of Keith Richards and Ivana Trump) is a comic tour de force--she slumps into a room like a marionette with its strings cut, unleashes a rotting-corpse grin or a reptilian scowl, supports Edina in every half-wit scheme and leaches off of her like an intestinal parasite. Series 2 is pretty bang-on throughout and manages to give the characters--Patsy, infantile p.r. agent Edina Monsoon (Saunders), Edina's long-suffering daughter Saffron (Julia Sawalha, Chicken Run), Edina's mother (June Whitfield, co-star of many Carry On movies), and Edina's dimwitted assistant Bubble (Jane Horrocks, Life is Sweet)--greater emotional range without losing an iota of scathing humor. Face-lifts, Morocco, alimony, rebirthing, and the death of Edina's father are all fodder for sharp, unflinching satire. But the core theme of the season is the unhealthily enmeshed friendship between Edina and Patsy, which sparks jealousy and backbiting but, when the chips are down (or the champagne and diet pills running low), an undying loyalty. Truly one of the richest and funniest Britcoms of all time.

Complete Series 3
Released On: September 13, 2005
Region: 1
Production Company: BBC Warner
Description:
The third series of Britcom Absolutely Fabulous maintains the dizzyingly high quality of the first two while striking out in new directions. Big events happen throughout the six episodes: Sensible, repressed Saffron (Julia Sawalha, Chicken Run) moves out of the house of her catastrophically trendy mother Edina (writer/creator Jennifer Saunders, Shrek 2); voraciously drug-addled Patsy (Joanna Lumley, The New Avengers) is revealed to have a sister who's the darling of the jet-set scene; Edina fires her daft assistant Bubble (Jane Horrocks, Little Voice); and Patsy and Edina have a genuine falling out as Patsy considers a career move to New York City. Of course, what remains constant is the astonishing ability of Edina and Patsy to wallow in every aspect of female excess like fashionable pigs in designer mud. Saunders and Lumley are razor-sharp, turning everything from a morning's greeting to planning an orgy into egregious, hysterically funny bad behavior. Sawalha, Horrocks, and June Whitfield as Edina's white-haired mother all have their own moments of glory--Bubble, in particular, has scenes of idiocy that verge on performance art, while poor Saffron is one of the most sympathetic characters in the history of television. Absolutely Fabulous is one of the high points of comedy, the brilliant evolutionary link between Monty Python's Flying Circus and Arrested Development. Essential viewing.

Complete Series 4
Released On: September 13, 2005
Region: 1
Production Company: BBC Warner
Description:
The babes of boozeland are back and drunker than ever in the fourth season of the Britcom Absolutely Fabulous. Even after a five-year hiatus, the main characters are unchanged, and the only giveaway that things are different is Eddy's defection from Lacroix to Burberry. Devoted fans will appreciate that this season (which also has the usual dieting, drinking, and manhunting) goes where no Pats and Edina have gone before, from a PR gig with Twiggy to menopause. What's more frightening: Patsy going through "the change" or the two dames dressed to the nines... for a night of moshing at a Marilyn Manson concert? If you're new to the series, have no fears; it won't take long to figure out that Edina (Jennifer Saunders) is the queen of excess, an extraordinary drinker and dieter but horrific mother. (Her daughter, Saffron--played by Julia Sawalha--is the levelheaded one, although as a young adult, her character has less purpose than in previous years.) Patsy (Joanna Lumley) is Eddy's sidekick, with a figure to die for--or at least paralyze for, as her experiences with youth-enhancing Parralox show. This is not a series to miss.

Complete Series 5
Released On: September 13, 2005
Region: 1
Production Company: BBC Warner
Description:
Few things are as addictive as the addictive personalities of Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley), two middle-aged hipsters wallowing in clothes, booze, pills, glamour, celebrity, and anything else their excessive appetites demand. The fifth series of Absolutely Fabulous finds Edina coping with the unexpected pregnancy of her long-suffering daughter Saffron (Julia Sawalha) and the departure of all of her PR clients except for Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton (playing herself with good humor). Every episode chronicles some ridiculous new obsession--Edina gets a panic room (and promptly traps herself inside of it); Patsy rediscovers a bunch of tawdry stag films she starred in and proclaims them works of high camp; the two kidnap Saffron's baby for a fashion shoot with Jean-Paul Gaultier. Saunders and Lumley fuse the ruthless social satire of Molière with the lowbrow physical high jinks of the Three Stooges, ably supported by Sawalha, Jane Horrocks (as Edina's dimwitted assistant Bubble and scheming narcissist Katy Grin), and a host of guest stars like Minnie Driver (in a razor-sharp self-parody), Kristin Scott-Thomas, Elton John, and more. Truly one of the gems of British sitcoms; sheer brilliance.

Released On: October 01, 2001
Region: 2
Production Company: BBC Video
Description:
Series 2 opens with 'Hospital'; at the beginning of this superb episode, we see Patsy arrive at Eddy's house being followed by the press after she's caught up in a sex-scandal. She's all over the papers and her reaction to the suggestion that she's 47 years old is hilarious! She goes mental! Hello! magazine want to do a photo shoot of Patsy, so she has to try and look 35; the result is rather unexpected...walking like a skeleton and eyes that appear to be closed are the highlights. Of course, Eddy has to buy tons of new "things" for her living room after hearing Hello! are coming, including an Eskimo papoose!

'New Best Friend' is another excellent episode in which Eddy's old friends come to stay at her house. The last time she met up with them, they were incredibly minimalist - white rooms, white clothes, etc. Eddy wants to makes her house look as tidy as possible for when her two old friends arrive, but Patsy's jealous and she falls out with Eddy. Trying to act as if they have friends other than each other when they find themselves in a restaurant alone are the highlights. At the very core of this show are the talents of Jennifer Saunders. She is completely unafraid to put out herself out there, using every breath she has to make each and every scene just as outrageously funny as the last - Fabulous!

Absolutely Complete
Released On: March 13, 2001
Region: 1
Production Company: BBC Warner
Description:
When anyone raves about Sex and the City, you need only to remind her that the Brits did it first--and better--with the creation of the brave say-anything show about sex, drugs, and the battle of the bulge. Absolutely Fabulous is a groundbreaking, off-the-wall comedy from the early 1990s, which began with a skit from The French and Saunders Show, about a moral, uptight daughter and her extremely loose mother. Ab Fab has taken this to the extreme. Edina (Jennifer Saunders) is the queen of excess. Her clothes are outrageous, her attempts at weight loss comical, and her efforts at motherhood (her daughter, Saffron--played to perfection by Julia Sawalha--is a practical-minded, reliable teenager) are uneven at best. Eddy's best friend is Patsy, a promiscuous Ivana Trump look-alike who always has a cigarette between her lips, a drink in her hand, and a fine-looking man (or boy) in her bed. The entire show lasted for three seasons, and all are included in this set. From organizing an orgy to a brush with poverty to the death of Eddy's father, nothing--and we mean nothing--is sacred in this show. Without a doubt, Ab Fab is one of the greatest television satires created, although keep in mind that it's strictly for adults.

Last Shout
Released On: November 27, 2000
Region: 2
Production Company: BBC Video
Description:
Well here it is, the final ever outing for TVs most drunken duo, Eddy and Patsy. Preparing for a trip to the fancy ski resort Val D'isere, Eddy is floored by the news that daughter Saffie has agreed to get married, a fact which Patsy revels in, as it means she'll be able to move in and out of her flat above Oddbins. However, Eddy puts it to the back of her mind and sets out to learn how to snowboard. A night out leads to them trashing their chalet, and next day Eddy is off skiing, where she meets with someone she thought she'd never see: God! Eddy and Patsy return home, where Saffie plans her impending wedding to the slimy Paolo, Eddy believes she is Jesus, and Paolo and his super-rich parents arrive for dinner. While Patsy meets a face from the past, Eddy takes charge of the wedding and sets out to make it an event to remember. But will it all end in tears? Or will it be ''fabulous darling!''

Ab Fab was one of the most groundbreaking and debauched comedies on British TV. And it remains a landmark still, more than ten years after it first aired. It was the first time that female comedians and writers had had the freedom and exposure to satirise problems close to their own heart, from their own perspective. Jennifer Saunders managed to do this in a completely bizarre, original, and totally hilarious way. The Last Shout is a must have for any Ab Fab fan, as it charts the final moments of some of the most outrageous characters in British TV history. A Classic and fabulous end.

Complete Series 1
Released On: November 20, 2000
Region: 2
Production Company: BBC Video
Description:
Probably the best British sitcom of the 1990s, and here you have the chance to live it and love it, with all the hilarious extras that come along with it. These extras include 15 minutes of side splittingly funny outtakes, and an early French and Saunders' sketch, "In The Beginning". Jennifer Saunders has comedy talent coming out of her ears; not only does she write a majority of the episodes (she and Dawn French also produce the series), she also performs at a level of physical comedy, many actresses would not even attempt. She falls down flights of stairs (sometimes roller blades), gets dragged through hedges (in one of the funniest episodes of the entire series), and she wears some of the most ridiculous outfits that you wouldn't even dress your dolls in. While Joanna Lumley is just outrageous, as alcoholic and verbally abusive best friend Patsy Stone. Her one-liners are so well written and delivered; it is just pure comedy genius!
