If you're a fan, like me, this should be great news worthy of a few drinks and smokes! Jennifer Saunders, the creator and co-star of "Absolutely Fabulous," revealed that she's planning to write a movie version of the hit BBC TV comedy after finishing work on the Spice Girls London stage musical, "Viva Forever."

"Ab Fab" follows the crazy antics of Edina (Saunders), an alcoholic, drug-abusing PR agent, and her equally crazy best friend Patsy (Joanna Lumley). Hailed as one of the greatest British TV shows of all time, "Absolutely Fabulous" began its television run in 1992 and ended in 1995, followed by a two-part TV movie called "The Last Shout" in 1996. The show was revived in 2001 and ran until 2003 with another TV movie called "Absolutely Fabulous in New York" aka "Gay!"

Deadline told us that the big screen version "will kick off with Patsy and Edina waking up hungover in the empty drifting yacht of an oligarch in the middle of the ocean. Even worse, their cellphones can’t get a signal."

In order to whet our appetite for the film, three new "Absolutely Fabulous" TV specials will be shown, and the first will air this Christmas in the UK.

"Absolutely Fabulous" is decidedly the anti-"Sex and the City" and I absolutely love it! In order to celebrate this great news, here's the Pet Shop Boys and "Absolutely Fabulous!"
