Absolutely Fabulous

Edina Monsoon and her best friend Patsy face a heavy day. Eddy is frantically preparing for her debut fashion show and trying to prove to her daughter, Saffron, that she can function without booze. Patsy, content for alcohol to remain a substitute for food, isn't helping.

After waking to find she has gained weight, Edina becomes obsessed with dieting, which is only exacerbated when she finds out an old, ever thin, nemesis intends to pay her a visit.

With a suitably chosen wardrobe, Edina and Patsy go on holiday to Provence, where they find the language barrier is the least of their problems. Meanwhile, Edina hopes that, back home, daughter Saffron will transform herself into a raver.

Banned from attending Saffron's college open day, Edina sulks in the brand new isolation tank she's had shipped over from LA. As she slips into a dream-like state, her world begins to change, but not necessarily for the better.

Edina has reached a milestone in her life - her fortieth birthday. But far from rejoicing, the horror of reaching the big four-zero has traumatic effects and she tries to hide away from the world. Unfortunately, Saffy has organised a surprise family lunch for her.

Patsy decides to go to work for the first time ever, ending shock waves through her magazine company. To drum up publicity she organizes a fashion show.
