From Amazon.com
The babes of boozeland are back and drunker than ever in the fourth season of the Britcom Absolutely Fabulous. Even after a five-year hiatus, the main characters are unchanged, and the only giveaway that things are different is Eddy's defection from Lacroix to Burberry. Devoted fans will appreciate that this season (which also has the usual dieting, drinking, and manhunting) goes where no Pats and Edina have gone before, from a PR gig with Twiggy to menopause. What's more frightening: Patsy going through "the change" or the two dames dressed to the nines... for a night of moshing at a Marilyn Manson concert? If you're new to the series, have no fears; it won't take long to figure out that Edina (Jennifer Saunders) is the queen of excess, an extraordinary drinker and dieter but horrific mother. (Her daughter, Saffron--played by Julia Sawalha--is the levelheaded one, although as a young adult, her character has less purpose than in previous years.) Patsy (Joanna Lumley) is Eddy's sidekick, with a figure to die for--or at least paralyze for, as her experiences with youth-enhancing Parralox show. This is not a series to miss. --Jenny Brown

Customer Reviews

AbFab at its best
I realize I may be in the minority, but I love series 4, so much so, actually, that I'm tempted to call it my favourite series (but then I remember some of the too-brilliant-for-words earlier episodes and just can't make up my mind).

The truth is, if you are expecting AbFab to pick up exactly from where it left, you'll be better off not getting your hands on series 4, because half a decade has passed and the world just isn't the same anymore. What was cool, fashionable and modern before, is now old and dated, at least for the likes of Edina who only live to keep up with the latest trends. There definitely is a huge visual contrast to what the show used to look like, but don't let that get on the way. Edina and Patsy are still at it, crazier (and also more desperate) than ever; experimenting with parralox, dieting with detox, popping pills, going after men, all the while trying to avoid getting old.

All I can say is give it a go and see what you think. I think it's absolutely fabulous.

WHY DOES AMERICA MISS OUT?
You need to see this - it's crass, rude, sarcastic, blatant, disgusting and above all, one of the funniest things on this planet. This series marks the comeback from the original series and it's better than ever. If you've ever seen the series, you know what to expect. But if you don't want to buy the boxset just yet, start with this. It will give you a great foundation of this show and what to expect from these two hilarious actresses/characters. Want to laugh your butt off? This show basically is what you wish your mom would be like.

Fabulous Daaaaaling...Just Faaabulous
This is British humour at one of its best. It was so nice to see that after watching this show on television for so many years that it finally came on to DVD. This comedic duo is hilarious and they poke fun at many stereotypes and turn many of the ordinary, everyday things into a comidcal adventure. There is something so unique and delightful about English humor, this is a classic example of how "absolutely fabulous" it can get!
