Series 1, Episode 3 - Absolutely Fabulous
Peter Fincham and Jon Plowman talk to Jennifer Saunders about the hit sitcom. They discuss the inspiration for Edina Monsoon, why recordings of the show were always finished by 9:30pm (clue: the BBC bar closed at 10), and what might charitably be described as Jennifer's "last minute" approach to script delivery.
