Absolutely Fabulous

The first ever episode of the award-winning sitcom introducing the larger-than-life, aging 'It girls' played with gusto by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.

Fashion and PR frolics with Eddy, Patsy and the long-suffering Saffy. Edina's weight problem becomes critical with a prospective visit from her reed-like model friend.

With a suitably chosen wardrobe, Edina and Patsy go on holiday to Provence, where they find the language barrier is the least of their problems.

Saucy fashion fun. Eddy has had an isolation tank shipped in from LA. As she slips into a dream-like state, her world begins to change - but not necessarily for the better.

Edina has reached her fortieth birthday. Saffy takes it upon herself to organise a family get-together, but Eddy is far from happy about the prospective guest list.

Fashion and PR get a pasting as Patsy and Saffron lock horns, Patsy gets Edina involved with her magazine, and Saffron and Edina's mother are victims of a Patsy make-over.
