Patsy and Edina will be tripping their way onto the big screen next month, with the debut of their very own feature film 'Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie'.
The film adaptation of ‘Ab Fab’ has been in the works for years now, with fans of the classic BBC sitcom getting ready to break out the Bolly and throw on their Lacroix for a cinema trip, when the film we’ve all been waiting for finally gets released.
The film features a storyline as ridiculous as ever, wtih Eddy (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) forced to flee the country after inadvertently pushing Kate Moss off a balcony at a swanky showbiz event.
Social pariahs (although Eddy thinks they’re actually ‘piranhas’), they head to the South of France, where they can live out the lavish and luxurious lifestyle they coveted during the original series’ run.
To gird our loins for the return of PR's most disruptive trailblazers, we're warming up by a roll call of Patsy's most zinging one-liners.
