A star-studded retrospective which sees Jennifer Saunders (Edina "Eddie" Monsoon), Joanna Lumley (Patsy Stone), Julia Sawalha (Saffron "Saffy" Monsoon) and Jane Horrocks (Bubble) reunite for the first time since 2016. Viewers are taken on an exclusive rampage down memory lane to reveal how the show was made, pay tribute to much-missed cast member Dame June Whitfield (Mother) and celebrate its ground-breaking influence on female comedy.

A host of fellow Absolutely Fabulous stars are joined by celebrity cameos and famous fans to share unheard anecdotes, exclusive backstage secrets and personal reflections amongst a glittering array of archive's best bits: from original scripts to high-fashion costumes, to never-before-seen moments from the rehearsal room that bring viewers behind the scenes to see how the magic of Ab Fab was made.
