Believe it or not, it’s 24 years since the sound of This Wheel’s On Fire heralded the arrival of one of the most popular comedy series of the 90s – and easily the most outrageous. Absolutely Fabulous was a wicked send-up of the excesses of the PR industry at the time and the TV viewing public lapped it up. The series returned in the early 2000s, followed by several specials, the most recent coinciding with the 2012 Olympics. It’s been a long time coming, but at last it’s arrived on the big screen this week, certificate 15.
Glass of Bolly in hand, London Mums’ resident film critic, Freda Cooper, set out to discover if it really is absolutely fabulous.
