Absolutely Fabulous

Absolutely Fabulous is a British sitcom created by and starring Jennifer Saunders, alongside Joanna Lumley, that first aired in 1992. Growing out of a sketch on the comedy show French and Saunders, it follows two hedonistic, chain-smoking, alcohol-fuelled women navigating the worlds of fashion and public relations in London, with a comedic role reversal in which the daughter is the mature one and the mother is the chaotic child.

The show became a landmark of British comedy, achieving cult status not only in the UK but internationally, including a devoted following in the United States. Its satire targeted the fashion industry, PR culture and the excesses of the upper class in 1990s London, blending sharp writing with broad physical comedy.

Its theme song, «This Wheel's on Fire», was written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko of The Band. Over the years the series produced numerous memorable episodes and specials, cementing its place as one of the most influential and quoted British sitcoms of its era.
