BBC bosses want new series of Ab Fab for 2013

Jennifer Saunders is being lined up to write a new series of Absolutely Fabulous for 2013.

Evening Standard, 3rd January 2012

Less hysterical than the first in this revival series (I can live without Patsy's mirthless workmates and an egregiously OTT Bubble), this second serving dishes up some camp froth.

"Sort of singer" Emma Bunton and Lulu guest-star, while staggering on set with a massive wig and smoky French accent is Lindsay Duncan as film star Jeanne Durand. The effect is stunning: think Faye Dunaway essaying Marlene Dietrich. Jeanne wants to sing, Eddy has booked the Albert Hall, but nothing comes out of the blessed chanteuse's mouth. What to do?
