Absolutely Fabulous (1992–2012)

The show's title says it all really.

[10/10 · 3 October 2015]

I fell in love with this show when it was first broadcast on a low key unfashionable late night slot, funny how it soon grabbed the imagination and became one of the BEST sitcoms. There are many reasons it works so well, firstly the writing, Jennifer was totally on the money here, her writing was flawless. The cast members themselves, Saunders, Lumley, Julia, Jane, June, all are just magical. I get the impression that as a cast they bonded and got on very well, I think that makes a huge difference. The guest actors are always well chosen and add something different, how good was Kate O'Mara as Patsy's sister! How many of us would like to know Patsy and Eddy!! In my opinion I think the first three series are the funniest, but the later offerings are brilliant too. I'll say it here, I cannot wait for the film. Britcom brilliance. 10/10
