Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out | Preview (GOLD)
The nation’s favourite comedy channel, Gold, takes a reflective look at Absolutely Fabulous, one of Britain’s most-loved comic creations set in the glamourous world of fashion PR in the 90s.
Jennifer Saunders (Edina “Eddie” Monsoon), Dame Joanna Lumley (Patsy Stone), Julia Sawalha (Saffron “Saffy” Monsoon) and Jane Horrocks (Bubble) reunite for the first time since 2016 in the star-studded retrospective.
The cast and crew are joined by a sparkling roster of celebrities including Ruby Wax, Tom Hollander, Emma Bunton, Meera Syal, Emerald Fennell, and Richard Curtis, to share personal reflections, unheard anecdotes and backstage secrets.
Jennifer Saunders opens up her Ab Fab archives to share her original handwritten notes and faxes that formed the basis for so many of the show’s most famous scenes. And she reveals the real people who inspired the timeless comic creations of Patsy and Eddie.
Jennifer Saunders, creator and writer, who played Edina said, “I loved making Ab Fab but I can’t remember a great deal, so much of this retrospective is a revelation to me. Thank you Gold for this kind and helpful programme."
Joanna Lumley, who played Patsy, added, “"It was a fabulous wander down memory lane by actresses who only have the faintest grip on reality. Really thrilling, and I hope vastly entertaining. I loved every second."
Ben Wicks, Creative Director, Entertainment for Expectation: “We’re overjoyed to make a show with Jennifer and Joanna that rejoices in all that was wonderful about Ab Fab – the most riotously funny show which satirised the era like nothing else whilst taking home more BAFTAs than Bolly in the process. Also it somehow predicted the future: now the whole nation’s parents are drunken embarrassments to their sober and politically enlightened Gen Z kids.”
Absolutely Fabulous: Inside Out airs Thursday 17th October at 9pm on GOLD.
