Product Description
Video Details
One of the most popular comedies in BBC history, this wickedly inventive comedy tells the tale of fashion femme fatales Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley), and their endless quest for sex, love and eternal youth. In "Absolutely Fabulous in New York," Edina discovers that her long lost son Serge is shacking up in the city that never sleeps when the degenerate duo head to the Big Apple for a shocking reunion. In "The Last Shout," Edina is thrilled to learn that her sweet but frumpy daughter Saffy is engaged to the suave and wealthy Paolo Carlo.

Are you ready for this Sweetie?
Jun 14 2003
Format:DVD
The girls from Ab fab are back!!! A new DVD containing the two Ab Fab movies sweetie...The New York Special and The Last Shout, with audio commentary and outtakes!!!
The New York Special entitle "GAY"- Jennifer Saunders, in an homage to her gay fans, has brought Serge out of the closet and created a one-hour special around his reunion with his ridiculous mum, Edina Monsoon. Not only do we get to see Debbie Harry of Blondie perform the AbFab theme "This Wheels on Fire", Edie and Patsy get married by Whoopi Goldberg, we get to visit fashion week, location shots at many familiar gay landmarks in NYC and cameos by many gay icons. Also includes the rest of the ab fab gang, Buddle, Saffy, and grams
In "The last Shout" we see Edina floating with a dolphin in a pool located in her bedroom for spiritual cleansing. She contacts Patsy, who has been renting an apartment conveniently located above a liquor store, to get ready for her job interview. Patsy does get up, but only so far as to walk into a pub. And guess what...Saffy has a boy friends. Will she Marry him, and will Edina aprove of him?
A must buy for any ab fab fan

Eddy and Patsy get "special"
April 16 2004
Format:DVD
This DVD comprises the 2 ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS 'specials', "The Last Shout" and "Gay".
"The Last Shout" - In the AB-FAB timeline, this special takes place after Series 3, when Jennifer Saunders was adamant that this was to be be last-ever AB-FAB story. Eddy and Patsy take a trip to the snowfields of Val de Ser, leaving Saffy at home with her stuffy new boyfriend Paolo Carlo.
During their event-filled holiday, Eddy becomes convinced that she is Christ returned after having a near-death experience on a mountaintop where she visited God (Marianne Faithful). Patsy is evicted from her flat above the Oddbins in the Kings Road, and Mother has shacked up with some old friends in a grotty caravan.
Saffy and Paolo decide to get married, leaving Eddy to plan the wedding of the century...
"Gay" - In the AB-FAB timeline this story takes place after Series 4. Eddy discovers that her absent son Serge is gay and living in New York. Since she and Patsy are in town during Fashion Week anyway, she decides to seek him out. With the help of Goldie (Whoopi Goldberg), a lesbian marriage celebrant, Eddy and Serge are reunited...but for how long?
AB-FAB fans will relish adding these stories to their collections. Always a fantastic show!

To quote Pasty, "It's just recycled vomit..."
I'm sad to say that "Gay" is just recycled jokes from previous Ab Fabs. With that said, it's still better than anything on American television. Read more

Negative Reviews
I suppose if you do not like Whoopi Goldberg, you may not find her funny in this DVD. I suppose if what you REALLY want to see is the commentary and if it's missing, you may be... Read more

Everything she touches turns to platinum
Both of these specials are fantastic. I watch ABFAB all the time, it never gets old. When I first saw "Gay," I didn't think it was as great as the original episodes, but there... Read more

panned and scanned version of widescreen show YUCK
There are 2 problems with this disc. First, the commentary by Jennifer Saunders that was promised is missing, and second, "Gay" is presented in cropped format instead of the... Read more

How lame could "Gay" be? Extremely
The New York special "Gay" is extremely weak. What makes it worse than just mediocre is the use of Whoopi Goldberg... the queen of unfunny comedians. Read more

THE LAST SHOUT ON DVD -- FINALLY!!
I can only speak for myself when I say that I am ecstatic that the last shout was put out onto dvd. I have been waiting for YEARS for WB/bbc to make this available. Read more

Relatively Un-Fabulous
Overall, this is still sublime comedy, but compared with other AbFab packages, this is at the bottom of the barrel. Read more
