Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - review

Producers did not release the Ab Fab film to the critics ahead of its release yesterday, which is rarely a vote of confidence. Add to that the fact that it's a big-screen adaptation of a sitcom - a genre with a patchy track record, The Inbetweeners Movie notwithstanding - and that it uses the tired and tested plot device of plonking their characters somewhere foreign, and the signs are not encouraging. Yet despite such portents, Absolutely Fabulous is as much of a fun, raucous romp as fans would have hoped for - director Mandie Fletcher throwing proceedings into the preposterous story and high camp with as much vigour now as there was when the series started a rather incredible 24 years ago.

Nick Mohammed: the comic who's a real pain in the neck

Being uncool hasn't stopped Nick Mohammed's alter ego Mr Swallow from storming Edinburgh and winning hipster acclaim. Now he's taking his creation mainstream in a spoof vampire musical.

Nick Mohammed - review

It's not a substantial show, but the character's egoism, hyperanimation and the randomness of his commentary are highly amusing.
