Absolutely Fabulous

Patsy has had a Parralox injection to freeze her wrinkles. Saffy is trying to get a job with the New Labour party and Edina, who now runs a television company as well as her PR enterprise, has got herself an appearance booked on This Morning with Richard and Judy. As her TV appearance draws near, Edina succumbs to the power of Parralox.

When Saffy employs the tousle-haired Jago to redesign the garden, Patsy recognises him as the younger brother of a well-known aristocrat and Eddy decides to turn on the charm.

Patsy and Edina go on a photo shoot to Paris for a 'generation flex' feature in which old and young mingle. Patsy teams up with a supermodel, while Edina teams up with Saffy. But Patsy finds the shoot is not quite the glamorous trip down memory lane she expected.

Edina embarks on a detox diet in a desperate attempt to get thin. But her nights are plagued with visits from God and the devil, both of whom have their own agendas.

Saffy's play opens at a small fringe theater. Afraid that the play could bring her public humiliation, Edina and Bubble plot to get it cancelled. Meanwhile, Saffy's father Justin, Edina's first husband Marshall and his American girlfriend Bo arrive to offer moral support.

Edina's company is hemorrhaging clients to PR rival Claudia Bing. The only client left on her books is Twiggy. Patsy seems to be going through the menopause so Saffy arranges for Patsy and Edina to attend a meeting of Menopause Anonymous. They may never be the same again.

Saffy has been away in Iraq as an aid worker and Eddy has had no-one to curb her extravagance. Her clients have also deserted her in droves. But she continues to take little interest in her remaining client - Emma Bunton. When Saffy finally arrives home she has some shocking news in store for Eddy.

Saffy receives a visit from her sadistic midwife and is subjected to a demonstation of the most painful aspects of childbirth. Eddy meets with her book club and is distressed to find that Elizabeth Hurley has pulled out. Patsy, Plum and Mariella Frostrup turn up to discuss the merits of OK! magazine.

Eddy has installed a state of the art 'panic room'. It contains Closed Caption TV monitors, board games and, of course, alcohol. Meanwhile Patsy has an eventful day at Jeremy's and meets Minnie Driver. Patsy persuades her to visit Eddy's for a personal styling session, but things don't quite go to plan.

Eddy is off on a weekend of adventous pursuits in the country with Patsy. They are disappointed to find that hunting and killing small animals is off the menu. Meanwhile Saffy is at home hanging out with her girlfriends - Emma and Sarah. But Sarah starts to display an unhealthy interest in Emma's fame.

It's a big night for Patsy. She's about to host the Style Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. Patsy has acquired some exclusive Huki Muki gear for the occasion. Saffy having reached blimp-size is about to go into labor and opts for a home birth. But her waters break at an unfortunate moment.

Eddy has rekindled her relationship with childhood sweetheart Pete. He's an engineer at Abbey Road studios and has found some lost Beatles recordings. In order to trumpet the discovery Eddy wants to throw a listening party. Elton John is of course invited.

Baby Jane's crying is driving Eddy nuts. Saffy isn't finding much joy in her new motherhood either. But help is at hand in the unexpected form of Patsy. Unbeknownst to Saffy, Patsy has found Jane a modelling assignment. Now if Saffy can just be persuaded to leave the house with John.

Patsy hates Christmas and refuses to acknowledge its existence. Unfortunately Eddie has plans this year and for the very first time, she wants to stay at home with Saffy and her grand daughter. All of this Christmas spirit is too much for Patsy and she finds herself in a downward spiral.

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley return along with a host of guest stars for a Christmas special of the classic sitcom. Patsy is now chief buyer for a new designer shop called 'Jeremy's'. She goes to New York Fashion Week to find ideas but her plans are soon subverted by Edina's search for Serge, Saffy's long departed older brother and their encounter with social counsellor Goldie. Meanwhile Bo and Marshall are running a Christian TV show and Saffy has been observing the world from inside a cupboard to help her career as a writer.

Eddy wants to redecorate the kitchen. Naturally, she calls on her interior designer friends, Bettina and Max, for advice on the new look. She is sure she has seen what she wants somewhere - perhaps it was in a past life. Meanwhile, Mother is looking after the baby amid all the chaos, Saffy is doing her best to get Patsy to move out, and Bubble continues to sneer at anyone less posh than her.

Saffy is released from prison after serving two years for forging passports. Funny thing is, she can't recall actually committing the crime. Edina tells Saffy she is welcome to invite her prison friends around, only to regret it when the alarming drug dealer Baron shows up. Turns out Patsy still owes Baron money. A lot of money. If only Patsy actually knew how to spend her own cash, or in fact, if she even has any. Of course, Mother may have an answer. Will anybody take the time to listen to her?

Times are tough for Edina. She doesn't have the clients she used to, the ones she has are jumping ship, and her daughter despises her. It's just another day in PR. Still, Edina has a plan to kill two birds with one stone. The famous French film star Jeanne Durand is looking for representation, and Saffy idolises her. If Eddie can get Jeanne to sing at the Royal Albert Hall (with VIP tickets for Saffy of course), perhaps everything will turn out alright. Now, if only Jeanne could actually sing…

Even the London 2012 Olympics aren’t safe from the disgraceful duo as Eddy and Patsy play their own very special part in this prestigious sporting event. Eddy rents out her house to someone rather important (Hollywood, darling), and the ladies schmooze some rather famous UK athletes, as only they know how.
