Many thanks to the Jennifer Saunders forum and the Joanna Lumley forum for providing this scan.

I could scream, I'm that excited.

Thanks for posting this. It makes me incredibly happy too! I've always loved Ab Fab, but have a whole new awareness/appreciation(?) of Joanna Lumley after living in the UK. Her activism for the Gurkhas, her yogurt commercials, and Joanna Lumley's Nile---I mean, she was everywhere. I've since moved back to the US and named my new kittens Patsy and Edina. I hope to soon be able to gather them around the TV and introduce them to their namesakes. lol

This!!! Absolutely Fabulous is one of my all-time favorites. French & Saunders were such brilliantly hilarious writers. Joanna Lumley might just be my favorite of the bunch, though. LOVE her.

This is epic! I think I've watched all dvd's at least a 100 times each! Cool!

29, of course!

CreepingDeath, the show with Sapphie having her baby wasn't that long ago, right? 5 years at the most, I hope. Or I'm going senile in my old age!

I just looked at my DVDs, and Saffron returns pregnant during season 5, which aired in 2003. So, it's not nearly as bad as I thought. :D

It's still 8 years, yikes! I don't remember the last thing they did, was it season 5?

Yes, season 5 was the last. You should get the box set, Absolutely Everything. It comes with seasons 1-5, The New York Special, The Last Shout, White Box, the two Christmas Specials, and over for hours of extras. I got it a couple of years ago, and it's worth every cent.

The NY special is my favourite. I wonder why :lol:

Nah but really, I'm SO buzzed about this. My girlfriend and I were watching the other day and we both agreed that it's so great they're doing more. We both thought White Box was a tiny bit lack lustre for a finale.
