#Absolutely fabulous body julia sawalha series
The series remains just as wickedly funny as it was way back when. Rounding out the cast were Julia Sawalha as Eddy’s straight-laced daughter, Saffron, June Whitfield as Eddy’s dotty mother and Jane Horrocks as her assistant, Bubble. No matter how hard Hollywood tries, it’s never managed to come close to recreating the brilliance of “Absolutely Fabulous.” The early ’90s Britcom starred Jennifer Saunders as Edina “Eddy” Monsoon and Joanna Lumley as Patsy Stone, two dissolute best friends drowning in London’s hedonistic fashion scene.
