Generation snowflake has RUINED chance of Ab Fab return

Jennifer Saunders has revealed that the award-winning show won't ever enjoy a TV reunion because the modern world is hyper-sensitive and unable to enjoy humour without being mock-offended.

Speaking to the Press Association, Saunders said: "People are so politically correct now; we couldn't get away with anything. You can't even get away to be a politically incorrect character, because that is seen as being politically incorrect. Everyone's down on everyone for everything."

With the Beeb currently, and in some cases ill-advisedly, reworking classic sitcoms, here's a tie-in quiz show hosted by Ben Miller in which celebrity funny folk test their knowledge of the genre that made them famous. Jennifer Saunders, Stephen Mangan, Jessica Hynes and Lee Mack are among the contestants. As Pointless fans will attest, however, celebrities are useless at quizzes - none of the luminaries get the Reg Varney question, an old pub quiz chestnut.
