Absolutely Fabulous – Series 5

Eight more episodes from Jennifer Saunders’ satire on the world of magazines and fashion. Edina (Jennifer Saunders) is now a celebrity PR guru, and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) her ‘style consultant’. In ‘Cleanin”, Saffy (Julia Sawalha) returns from her travels in Iraq with some exciting news: she is pregnant. In ‘Book Clubbin”, Patsy and Edina start a book club, and Edina is thrilled to discover that her grandchild is going to be mixed-race: the ultimate fashion accessory. In ‘Panickin”, Edina has a panic room installed in her house – and manages to get locked inside it with Patsy. In ‘Huntin’, Shootin’ and Fishin”, Edina and Patsy go away on a posh country house weekend that Edina won at auction. Saffy’s baby is on its way in ‘Birthin”. In ‘Schmoozin”, Edina has a new boyfriend who, to her delight, works at Abbey Road Studios – until Patsy, in a drunken stupor, tapes over a priceless lost Beatles recording… In ‘Exploitin”, Patsy and Edina ‘borrow’ Saffy’s new baby girl, Jane, for a fashion shoot. In ‘Cold Turkey’, Edina spends Christmas at home – much to Saffy’s annoyance, while Patsy ends up in hospital on a cocktail of drugs.Synopsis
