Company

Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone first stumbled onto our screen, slightly the worse for wear, on the 12th of November 1992. From predicting the rise of reality TV to satirising conspicuous consumption and the obsession with celebrity culture, Ab Fab's cultural impact was far reaching. It lionised female friendship and made ostentatious fashion a running joke long before Sex And The City. Creator Jennifer Saunders, who also starred as trend-hungry Edina, wasn't afraid to make deeply flawed women the centre of her show.

Contributors include Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha, Jane Horrocks and producer Jon Plowman.
