THROWBACK THURSDAY: ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS

For those of you who don't know, Absolutely Fabulous, is one of the most popular British comedies that's also hugely popular stateside. In series five, what we would call season five in the States, Saffy becomes pregnant by John, an African  man she met while working in Uganda, much to the delight of her mother, Edina  who is excited to be having a mixed-race grandchild: "A mixed-race baby is the finest accessory anyone in my position could ever have. It's the Chanel of babies!"

Edina's best friend, Patsy is not too thrilled about the new addition, she despises Saffy  and knows that this baby will only bring her friend and her daughter closer and take attention away from her. In the scene below, Edina and Saffy are discussing Christmas plans, and Patsy, trying to be a part of the conversation, and not wanting to be left out, inquires about John.

*FUN FACT Ab Fab has had a slew of celeb cameos over the years,and was one of Idris Elba's first television appearances.
