The third series of Britcom Absolutely Fabulous maintains the dizzyingly high quality of the first two while striking out in new directions. Big events happen throughout the six episodes: Sensible, repressed Saffron (Julia Sawalha, Chicken Run) moves out of the house of her catastrophically trendy mother Edina (writer/creator Jennifer Saunders, Shrek 2); voraciously drug-addled Patsy (Joanna Lumley, The New Avengers) is revealed to have a sister who's the darling of the jet-set scene; Edina fires her daft assistant Bubble (Jane Horrocks, Little Voice); and Patsy and Edina have a genuine falling out as Patsy considers a career move to New York City. Of course, what remains constant is the astonishing ability of Edina and Patsy to wallow in every aspect of female excess like fashionable pigs in designer mud. Saunders and Lumley are razor-sharp, turning everything from a morning's greeting to planning an orgy into egregious, hysterically funny bad behavior. Sawalha, Horrocks, and June Whitfield as Edina's white-haired mother all have their own moments of glory--Bubble, in particular, has scenes of idiocy that verge on performance art, while poor Saffron is one of the most sympathetic characters in the history of television. Absolutely Fabulous is one of the high points of comedy, the brilliant evolutionary link between Monty Python's Flying Circus and Arrested Development. Essential viewing. --Bret Fetzer

who doesnt think brits are funny July 25, 2008
these girls are what everyone wants to be but are too afraid or too broke to achieve. they make fun of people, spend too much money, party too much, drink too much and too early, do too many drugs and seem like all around fun gals. british humor isnt for everyone but this show is timeless. i've got all the seasons for my gf but now i get to watch. so open some champagne do some drugs and watch every episode

What do you get when you put the worst of the 60's, 70's and 80's and set it in the 90's? Well it must be Absolutely Fabulous.
Doorhandle - A few years have passed but Edina still hasn't fixed her kitchen and Saffy has had it. Eddie and Patsy set out to find the perfect doorhandle and Eddie remembers seeing it in NYC,
Happy New Year - Patsy and Eddie are going to an exclusive New Years Eve party at a club so exclusive that it has no name. Saffy, her grandmother, her father and his lover are celebrating at the flat. But when Patsy's older jet set sister unexpectantly arrives, Patsy is first overjoyed then shocked at her change.
Sex - The girls are planning an orgy with a couple of rent boys and remember the good old days when sex was everywhere. Saffy's group is preparing a presentation on DNA and things get crazy when Saffy's presentation video and Patsy's homemade porn video get mixed up.
Jealous - It's the PRPR awards and Eddie is expecting to win the top prize. But when her chief rival wins, Edie goes into a rage. At the next meeting, she tells off the entire group in what is one of the most unlikely and selfless speeches Eddie will ever make.
Fear - Saffy has moved in to the halls of residence at the college and Eddie is at ends - she cannot even open a can without help. And things are going bad for Patsy, the magazine has folded. But is it good news when she gets an offer at magazine in NYC? Eddie thinks it is and forces Patsy to accept it.
The End - Patsy is in NYC and Eddie is at a retreat searching for inner peace. Well, she finds it on top of a skyscraper in NYC - that's where Patsy has accidentally lock herself on. The end black out scene is 25 years in the future and it isn't pretty!
DVD EXTRAS: 16 minutes of hilarious outtakes.
absolutely fabulous...is March 20, 2006
Forget your troubles come on get happy these gals will chase all your blues away. If you have one ounce of empathy in your body you will totally want to rescue these fabulous gals from ever leaving the planet. No one can touch their timing and if they did they'd light up and reinvent it. They are simply the greatest diversion since dark chocolate,wine and George Clooney's looks.
simply fabulous, darlings! November 27, 2005

Break out the Bolly and the Japanese nibbly bits! Edina and Patsy are simply FABULOUS in this DVD set, featuring all 6 episodes from Series 3.
"Doorhandle" - A new year, but the kitchen still looks like a cinder-pit. Saffy (Julia Sawalha) orders Eddy (Jennifer Saunders) to get her act together, so she and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) head off to New York to browse doorhandles...
"Happy New Year" - The family has gathered with Saffy to celebrate the coming year, and Eddy and Patsy are all set to paint the town red, until Patsy's ultra-glam sister Jackie (Kate O'Mara) crashes the scene...
"Sex" - Whilst clearing out Serge's room so she may finally build a walk-in wardrobe, Eddy discovers a copy of "Razzle". She and Patsy decide to plan an orgy...
"Jealous" - Eddy is fuming. Her PR rival Claudia Bing (Celia Imrie) has duped her yet again, leaving Eddy feeling like a bird on the wire...
"Fear" - With Saffy now boarding at college and Patsy moving to New York, Eddy's walls have collapsed so she decides to move into a spiritual commune...
"The End" - Things are not going as well as they should for Eddy and Patsy, so they decide to forget their differences and go back home.
Extra features: outtakes, photo gallery.

ABFAB as some of us fans call it is quite possibly one of the zaniest, craziest, sickest shows to come out of Britain to date. The premise is simple. There's Edwina (Eddie), her friend Patsy and Eddie's daughter Saffron (Saffi). Eddie is an overweight, immature, compulsive, undersexed, selfish, fashion misfit who worships LaCroix and everything he designs. Patsy is a drunken, non-working, oversexed, chain smoking, spend thrift, fashionista, self-centered, alcoholic, leach. She's also Eddie's best friend. Saffi is the plain jane, level headed, smart, prudish, straight laced dauther of Eddie and her father who happens to be gay has left her mother for a gay black man.
Poor Saffi even though the child of the house more often than not has to be the adult of the house. She fixes her mom breakfast when she comes in from a hard night of boozing and partying with Patsy. Patsy and Saffi hate each other and continually snipe at each other.
Aside from storylines, ABFAB is very difficult to describe because many of the funniest bits are visual. You have to see and hear everything. One funny episode has Saffi off to college for the first time. Eddie tries to guilt her into staying home but it doesn't work. That morning Eddie drives to the college and barges her way into Saffi's class with a can of something and a can opener and asks Saffi to open the can for her because she doesn't know how to work the can opener. Madness. It's very funny.
You should watch all of the episodes because there's not a bit of sanity in any of them. You've got to have this!
Not suitable for young children though. It's barely suitable for grown ups!

Shaak it is the most favoritable jedi between qui-gon jinn and Yoda, well in my opinion. Shaak ti has brought us so many things, and techincally started the rebellion. Shaak ti's death was neccesary for Ghent Starkiller to influence the rebellion. Shaak
