The 11 most Absolutely Fabulous clips, sweetie darling… to get you buzzing for the new film
If you, like us, just can't wait until you get to see it in the cinema, look no further
ABSOLUTELY Fabulous: The Movie finally hits cinemas on Friday and we can't remember the last time we were so excited.
It’s got a list of cameos so long it makes Zoolander 2 look like small fry.
Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Rebel Wilson, Jerry Hall and even Joan Collins all pop up in the new flick, 24 years after the show first hit TV screens.
To celebrate Patsy and Eddy’s comeback, we’ve chosen our fave moments from the series, so grab a bottle of Bolly and check out these corkers.
#1 “Water? It’s a mixer, Patsy, we have it with whisky”
The very first episode, back in 1992, saw Saffy threatening to leave unless mum Edina stops drinking.
Cue disbelief from Patsy: “What will you drink if you stop drinking?”
#2 “It’s all right, darling, she’s not here”
Coming home from a night out, Patsy rolls Eddy out of a car and towards her house, while a disapproving Saffy watches on from the front door.
“It’s all right, darling, she’s not here. She’s not here, darling.”
#3 “Turn off the light!”
Patsy and Eddy head off on Saffy’s honeymoon after fiancé Paolo jilts her at the altar.
Cosying up in bed, Pats nestles down with a fag between her lips “for the morning”, but then gets a telling off from Eddie.
#4 “Cab! Cab!”
They’re late for a very, very important meeting, so our heroines jump in a taxi. Just over the road.
“Traffic’s not too bad, is it?”
“We should be OK.”
#5 “What’s happened to you?”
Hollywood fave Minnie Driver pops up and promptly puts Patsy in her place over her OTT lip fillers.
“Listen, first rule: mouth should be smaller than face.”
#6 “Who are all these people?”
Eddy and Patsy let rip about a dangerous new disease... The Kardashians.
“They’re multiplying like headlice... That looks like a boob. In fact, it’s just another Kardashian.”
#7 “Is this upper class?”
Hands up who likes their passport photo? No such worries for Pats.
“When was this photo taken?”
“Oh, it’s very recent...”
#8 “I will kill you”
She’s a brilliantly loyal BFF but woe betide an employee who lets down Patsy.
Watch and quake as she puts her magazine team firmly in their place.
#9 “Lacroix, sweetie!”
Eddy totters downstairs in a fitted all-in-one by Christian Lacroix, much to the horror of strait-laced daughter Saffy.
“It’s all right, isn’t it? It’s a bit tight, maybe.”
#10 “Abort! Abort! Abort!”
Saffy and Patsy have never seen eye to eye, and things reach a head as Patsy makes it very clear that if she’d had her way, Saffy would never have even been born.
It's excessively blunt, but we'd expect nothing less coming from Patsy!
#11 “There will never be anyone as FAT as you”
Proof that even the quiet ones have a tipping point, daughter Saffy fights back, hitting her mother right where it hurts.
“How fat is the woman playing me?” asks Eddy.
“There’ll never be anyone as fat as you,” replies Saffy.
Touché!
