The BBC have issued their first promotional image for the new Absolutely Fabulous, and blurbs for the two episodes that will be screening over Christmas and New Year.
There’s a third episode already in the can, but that won’t air until some time in 2012, and likely around the summer, seeing as it will be Olympic-themed.
Twenty years after Eddy, Patsy, Saffy, Bubble and Mother first staggered onto BBC screens, Absolutely Fabulous is back! In the first of three new episodes written by and starring Jennifer Saunders, with Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha, Jane Horrocks and June Whitfield, there’s an awful lot of catching up to do.
First of all there’s a homecoming for one of them who’s been ‘away’ for quite some time. She arrives at the Monsoon household with a new – slightly scary – best friend. Her presence could be either a blessing or a disaster, raising questions of identity that could even involve a certain person owning up to her real age … if she can remember it.
Warning: A Royal Wedding is re-enacted by Bubble.
Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley return in the second of three brand new episodes of Absolutely Fabulous.
Edina has some crucial questions to answer, including: Has she still got it? And could a new client destroy her relationship with Saffy or make it stronger?
With fewer and fewer clients and a daughter who despises her, it’s business as usual but, when Eddy and Patsy meet a famous French film star whom Saffy hugely admires, Eddy hopes that the job of taking her on as a client could bring a new-found respect, and some much-needed income.
The problem is that her client’s talents aren’t everything they seem to be…
Warning: Edina Monsoon sings.
I look forward to finding out what warning the third episode will bear. I hope it’s nothing to do with a German shot putter.
Jennifer Saunders is in early development of an Absolutely Feature film right now. The basic plot idea, she has said, is that Patsy and Edina would find themselves stranded in the middle of the ocean on an oligarch’s yacht after falling asleep in the middle of a party, then waking up to find everybody else gone. That sounds remarkably stripped down, but I think Saunders really could work these characters well enough to make something excellent out of little more than their closed quarter interactions.
Courtesy of Midtown Comics‘ listings and skipping the trades, here’s a look at the Marvel solicitations for May 2012. One word of warning, the credits on these do get mixed up, especially when there are double shipping issues – and there are a lot of those this month. But those pictures sure are pretty. AGE…

FastCoCreate has a new interview with Alan Moore talking about Watchmen – accompanied by the first art from Darwyn Cooke from the Minutemen book.
