Absolutely Fabulous stars Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Julia Sawalha and Jane Horrocks have revealed they are reuniting for a one-off special about the hit show they once starred in. In an image that was released of the four reuniting, Jennifer, 65, Joanna, 78, Julia, 55, and Jane, 60, look ageless as they beam from ear to ear for the special photo.

The documentary will show viewers and loyal fans how the show was created as the four take a trip down memory lane to celebrate the much-loved sitcom. As well as the leading ladies, a whole host of Absolutely Fabulous stars and costume designers will make appearances, as well as famous faces and celebrity cameos.

Creator and writer Jennifer said: "I loved making Ab Fab, but I can't remember a great deal, so much of this retrospective is a revelation to me. Thank you Gold for this kind and helpful programme."

Joanna added: "It was a fabulous wander down memory lane by actresses who only have the faintest grip on reality. Really thrilling, and I hope vastly entertaining. I loved every second."

The show followed Edina Monsoon (played by Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) as they navigated life in the 90s, often heavily drinking and taking drugs. The first series aired in November 1992 on BBC Two, followed by a second series two years later, but this time it was moved to BBC One.
