I loved this show so much; just briliant! Julia Sawalha is now 55 and Jennifer Saunders is now 66. I never knew their age gap was that small. Amazing -and a true testament to their craft!
Ab Fab started as I hit my early 20's and was going through my alcoholic and substance misuse phase so I could relate to Patsy and Eddie's characters. I adore all the characters, role reversal Saffy being the mum to Eddie at times, Patsy's quirky and hilarious mannerisms.
I love the banter between Jennifer and Joanna especially when they’re taking shots about each other “If you’ve got them flaunt them” “It’s not her fault she blocks me I’m so thin” It’s amazing how much of a difference between saffy and Julia there is
When I found this show in my country America, it became my favorite show, I loved seeing middle aged women like myself and my friends that didn't take life so seriously all the time!
Seeing this makes me appreciate Julia's acting all the more.....it must take real skill and effort to work with those two and be able to maintain that glum face so convincingly! lol I'd be in stiches most of the time!
I was a young straight girl...(with several gay friends who slowly discovered themselves,) but we all loved this show so much, and were totally amazed that not everyone watched this! (And the golden girls😂) Sweety daaaahling ❤ Now I'm old, and still watching outtakes 😆
I love the outtakes, they're all so funny. Dear June Whitfield, sorely missed, she was brilliant in Ab Fab. Joanna Lumley is very beautiful and gracious so to see her humourous side and swearing makes me giggle. Julia's natural beauty and composure at times is outstanding. Jennifer's facial expressions never cease to make me laugh too.
True . And i am lucky to count her as a friend and she is the most delightful person one could know, she is kindness personified, not a single evil bone in her entire body. Her and Kathy Burke are absolute angels .
Thanks Sam. Our meeting was really a coincicence and i didn't even know who she was at that time, i started watching AbFab later on. I met her through a drag queen friend we had in common in the 90s when i lived in London, so during the Saffy period , we were just drinking friends at first i was working at a few bars and clubs throughout the 90s (Sadi Maisie, Club Kali and what is now known as East Bloc) to put myself through vet med school and there were quite a few aspiring actors , singers, models , going there like Mathew Home , Tameka Empson or Scott Neal (beautiful things period) who are good friends as well . Julia and Nadia used to go there too along with Kathy Burke and James Dreyfus (gimme gimme period) . We became actual good friends through our shared love for animals (Julia is a major animals rights activist and a also a vegan and so am I and we used to visit and help at animals shelters) , And we have been meeting and hanging out together on and off ever since , though a lot less in the gay scene , which is not a bad thing because there was way too much excess in those days and i'm glad we all survived this decade without too much damage. I like her a lot as an actress , but much more as a person , she is truly adorable and very intelligent .
I know Joanna Lumley is known for playing horrid villains with scary make up but at 7:43 when she's out of character I was actually taken aback by how beautiful she actually is.
gofund.me/be31611c please read. thank you
I don't know which is funnier the bloopers or the actual shows!
Awesome show awesome cast!
No idea, but now that this popped up on my algorithm, I have to crack open my box set and watch the series all over again! ❤😂❤

In season 1 Eddy turned 40 but Jennifer was only 34 at the time.

No way. Jennifer is 66?
@@out_of_control1when ab fan began I was 12 in 1992.

“If you’ve got them flaunt them”
“It’s not her fault she blocks me I’m so thin”
It’s amazing how much of a difference between saffy and Julia there is
Bloopers & episodes of AF are my treat @ the end of difficult days.
I couldn't help being masked I'm sooooo thin! The look on Joannas face is hilarious!! The eyeballs 🤣
I absolutely love this show, been watching it since ninety's. I think it shows us to enjoy life while we have it.
I love Julia's smile! Such a beautiful smile!!! :)
Totally agree. It just brightens the room.
Awesome show:-)
She's delightful. :^)
Isn't it just. She's such a beauty. 😍. And that she's so different to the frumpy grumpy Saffy, is a testament to her acting skills.
Love Joanna's spitefull improv at 6:15. Just going with the flow.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
It cracks me up every time. She has an innate sense of wicked, unhinged fun.
Amazing stylist who did their costume design all those episodes...that was part of the intrigue --for me.
When I found this show in my country America, it became my favorite show, I loved seeing middle aged women like myself and my friends that didn't take life so seriously all the time!
A fan for 25 years. love this show
One of thebest shows the very grace a tv screen. All involved are legendary!!! ❤❤❤
i love the bit where Joanna Lumley says Jennifer Saunders takes coke to stay awake,all done in a quiet and polite BBC kind of voice.
These women are all national treasures!
Joanna Lumley looks amazing in her Marilyn Manson get-up. Even more than usual!
This show always makes me so happy... now the outtakes are keeping me going 😂 Brilliant. Always wanted to be Patsy, but secretly am totally Edina.
Seeing this makes me appreciate Julia's acting all the more.....it must take real skill and effort to work with those two and be able to maintain that glum face so convincingly! lol I'd be in stiches most of the time!
I think about that all the time. I can’t even make it seconds without cracking a face lol
And she remembers everyone else's lines and points them out when they mess up. She must have an amazing memory
She's *so* different from Saffy, as well, you can see the difference when she finally cracks up herself. It's like night and day.
Totally agree 👍
That's why she was cast. Jennifer said she was the only one who wasn't trying to be funny as Saffy.
There will be nothing like this ever again its pure masterpiece
I love the living room of season 4. Furry pillows, lovely Buddha statue, and warm tones overall. Simply fabulous.
There will never be another show with another cast quite like this.
I was a young gay kid in America and I would watch these ladies on BBCAmerica late at night ❤
Same
Ditto❤
I was a young straight girl...(with several gay friends who slowly discovered themselves,) but we all loved this show so much, and were totally amazed that not everyone watched this! (And the golden girls😂) Sweety daaaahling ❤ Now I'm old, and still watching outtakes 😆
Serge?

Thank you for these!!! This was a formative show for me, and now I have to open up my box set of the series and watch the whole thing again! ❤
Even in those nerdy clothes, Julia's beauty shines through. She's a beautiful woman and has a charming laugh.
I love rewatching these outtakes. I forgotten how funny they all were lol.
Julia Sawalha is absolutely the loveliest!
Was, well before AbFab.
She was so sweet wiping Jenifers mouth idk that really touched me lol
I was lucky enough to see an episode being made and between takes the whole cast the five J's all perform and entertain the audience it was so funny!
Authentic Gay Blog I wish I’d of gotten to see them in action live so funny can only imagine being there in person
Authentic Gay Blog wow how fortunate I would love to have gone to a taping I can only imagine.
Awesome. That's the good stuff in life. Well written show and all pros on production staff. All the best!
Which episode was it?
@@helenharper4311 I wish I could remember it was so long ago lol!
I Love This Show and I Always Will
We here in the U.S. are enamored with the ladies of Ab-Fab. They certainly can brighten up a shitty day!
Amen Alexander! I feel like Patsy and Eddy are my two crazy (but fun) Aunts!
So true!!
@matt fahringer are you f #ing joking...if not, why are you bothering?
I absolutely love bloopers and those are amazing, I can watch these all night hihihi
that was absolutely fabulous
👍👍👍😃😃😃
Always love how Joanna roasted Jennifer about their figures, that shows their relationship well.
Absolutely Brilliant. Thanks U.K.
Ok but it feels like a blessing to see Julia or Jane laughing😭
I Love The Entire Cast of This Incredible Show
Julia's laugh is lovely.
I die every time I watch them !!!! I wish they'd come back ! Even a "SPECIAL !!!!
These wonderful, crazy, talented women. Jennifer is jenius!!
Like what you did there.
How could anyone with a great sense of humor not completely fall in love with Jennifer and Joanna?... they are having so much fun. Beautiful.
OK, ladies, it's 2018-- time for another series!! You'll never be too old!!
I agree!!
Even tho it's now 2024 it's past time!
And Ms Lumley looks STUNNING!! As always
Julia is great .. they’re all brilliant.. it’s why it’s funny… I love them
I LOVE THIS SHOW SO SO FRICKING GOOD
This entire show gives me purpose, but Bubble in Chicken Run is my spirit animal
This show is absolutely fabulous hehe
100% I loved Jane horrocks in that. I still quote it to myself on difficult days when I remind myself that I don’t want to be a pie 🥧 lol 😆
Just to have been in that audience 👌✨
There was no audience, it's a laugh track
My all-time favorite show EVER ... nothing will ever come close to this show 🙏 👍 💖
julias smile and laugh so gorgous
God, I miss this show
Such a great show with and awesome cast and crew!!!!
Genious, ladies you are a gift to humanity ... 你们太棒了
Julia's laugh is so beautiful!
oh yes but its so weird in a way to see her laugh!
True . And i am lucky to count her as a friend and she is the most delightful person one could know, she is kindness personified, not a single evil bone in her entire body. Her and Kathy Burke are absolute angels .
Morgan Olfursson lucky you

Morgan Olfursson it's very rare to meet someone with good qualities these days. She sounds adorable.
This show is Wonderful! This & Seinfeld are my 2 Favorite Comedy Shows!!
"Now, don't worry, I can work upside down, I've got plenty of practise with Peter" :'D
This is 6 years old, but I have to add that she says “Blue Peter.”
This was so good.
certainly better than the rubbish we get nowadays 2014.
And consistently until 2020 too....
LOVE this show
Julia cracks up the best!
11:34 The way she said "as I am" :O I melted...right there...boom...puddle
Love this show even 40 years later
Elizabeth Dyer 40 years? It first aired in 1992.
I love Julia's laugh
I think the props and I got our mortar & pestle at the same place (Lechters Housewares)
And it's the bloopers that actually brought me to adore Saffy
Great show,funny outtakes.
I find all these actors, fascinating 😀
3:36 Joanna Lumley is wearing a white contact lens! WOW
Mother drying the pebbles one by one was the funniest thing.
This is priceless, thanks for sharing ❤
Joanna and Jennifer should have done stand up or something! They're almost funnier live than in the show :-)
Agreed. I prefer Joanna Lumley's subtle, gasping-for-breath humor to Dawn French's noisy slapstick.
AGREE They are the best!
Lumley is a good actress,not a comedian.
This is a genius pairing
4:44 Best one liner come back ever ‘be careful not to mask Jo’
‘I couldn’t help being masked, I’m so slim!’
Young guy in blue stripped shirt is Sean from Coronation Street
Love love looooove this show never fails to make me laugh my favorite comedy of all time......
How far into Jennifer's mouth does Julia shove that spoon?! 😂😂
I know! It's no surprise she made gagging sounds.
If you actually watch carefully she doesn't shove it in, she turns it to the right.
'Joanna Lumley said fuck'. lol.
I love Edina’s orange and white jacket
I wish this was still on
Always fabulous
love it all, priceless
Are these two women a fxxxxn trip or what? They are the funniest by all standards ever made!!!!!
Im soo SLIM! the look she gives Jen is amazing
Where does Jennifer get the cloths? Love those woman!
I know Joanna Lumley is known for playing horrid villains with scary make up but at 7:43 when she's out of character I was actually taken aback by how beautiful she actually is.
She is GORGEOUS .... But I'm biased ..... :)
She’s a beautiful person as well. Pure class. That makes her portrayal of Pats even more genius
check out the are you being served episode "his and hers" you'll see a young joanna lumley
truth prevails I know! I think that’s the first time I saw her.
I'd say a large majority of people know her as the very attractive and very much not horrid nor scary Purdy from the New Avengers.
Let's face it. Ab Fab is one of the most important comedies since "I Love Lucy"! It just doesn't get better than this.
The bloopers could be their own episodes.. :)
0:49 That suit is HOT!
Jennifer alway tried to hide her beauty.
Saffy: Its just a fad. Patsy: I agree. Shouldn't a bolt of lightning or something happen when Patsy agreed with Saffy?
Absolutely Fabulous Darling ❤
Just looked up a picture of Joanna now. This woman does not age.
My old man's a dustbin lol.
Fantastic sweetie
Am I the only one who thinks Joanna looks hot as a goth 😂😂
Ummmm that WAS the whole point lol.
Real funny talented
When Jennifer destroys the camera is the best!!
Julia is the cutest
Julia Sawalha is gorgeous
Julia Sawalilahaa was so cute!
still funny in 2018
I loved this show when the BBC was never ever woke
4:18 my best bit for Johannas come back
Awesome… I’ve never seen these .. July 29 2024 a time of horrors including Olympic opening
I didn’t know it was possible to love a character(Eddie/Jen) so much.
