Podcasts about Absolutely Fabulous

In deze nieuwe aflevering van de Sitcomcast duiken we in de iconische Britse sitcom Absolutely Fabulous! Van Edina's extravagante outfits tot Patsy's eindeloze reeks glaasjes champagne—deze serie is een explosie van excentrieke humor en scherpe satire. We bespreken hoe Jennifer Saunders en Joanna Lumley de perfecte dynamiek neerzetten als Edina Monsoon en Patsy Stone, en waarom de serie zo'n cultstatus heeft bereikt. De satirische kijk op de modewereld en celebrity-cultuur is vandaag de dag nog steeds hilarisch en pijnlijk accuraat. Uiteraard kunnen we het niet laten om de meest memorabele momenten, iconische oneliners en favoriete afleveringen te benoemen. Daarnaast gaan we in op de oorsprong van Absolutely Fabulous en hoe de serie voortkwam uit een sketch in French and Saunders. We kijken naar de invloed op latere komedies en de popcultuur, en bespreken waarom Edina's dochter Saffron misschien wel de echte held van de serie is. Ook delen we onze persoonlijke hoogte- en dieptepunten van de show. Pak er een glas Bollinger bij en luister mee naar een heerlijke dosis Britse humor en nostalgie!

Send us a textEvery TV Sitcom yo've ever loved has been touched by this man's genius! What does it take to shepherding some of the most beloved British comedy shows from idea to cultural phenomenon? Jon Plowman OBE—the executive producer behind The Office, Absolutely Fabulous, Vicar of Dibley, Inside No. 9, and countless other comedy classics—offers a rare glimpse into the creative chaos that birthed these iconic programs.From surviving a motorcycle accident that landed him in the hospital (with a parade of celebrities visiting his bedside) to the surreal experience of being interviewed for Oxford University by candlelight during a power outage, Plowman's journey through British television is as unexpected as it is enlightening. His revelation about arriving at a meeting with French and Saunders three weeks before filming to find their "script" consisted of merely four Post-it notes on a wall surrounded by celebrity magazines speaks volumes about the creative genius he helped nurture throughout his career.The most valuable lesson from Plowman's storied career might be his philosophy of "never shouting cut"—allowing the moments between scripted lines and official filming to capture spontaneous comedy gold. This approach led to some of the most memorable moments in shows like Absolutely Fabulous, where improvisation flourished in the spaces between what was written and what naturally emerged on set.Beyond the humorous anecdotes—including the delightfully absurd story of settling a dispute between David Walliams and Matt Lucas about the appropriate size of a certain stain on a jacket lapel during a Little Britain sketch—lies Plowman's profound insight into recognizing and cultivating comedy genius. Whether championing Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's revolutionary mockumentary format for The Office or supporting Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's anthology vision for Inside No. 9 against network pressures, Plowman's instinct for spotting innovation has shaped decades of entertainment.Ready to discover how the most iconic British comedy shows made it from concept to screen?

In this week's episode of Off Panel, writers Scott Snyder, Kelly Thompson, and Jason Aaron join the show to talk about their work in the Absolute Universe at DC with Absolute Batman, Absolute Wonder Woman, and Absolute Superman respectively. Snyder kicks things off, as he discusses the roots of Absolute DC, events as the thing before the thing, the environment Absolute grew in, and the power of jumping on points, before Thompson and Aaron join to talk about taking on this type of project, the idea of competition, collaboration, figuring out how varying pieces fit, the "big" of it all, their favorite art so far, the most challenging part, trying to make something sustainable, and more.

We're back from the North American Hill Sheep Show in Escanaba, Michigan.  This inaugural event showcased some British Hill Breed Sheep and some not-quite-Hill Breed Sheep, of course, but there was more to see, hear and smell.  Lovely vendor booths with soft woolens and fragrant soaps in abundance, sheepdog trials with panting puppies, food trucks (with some mighty fine brisket, thank you sir), and ice cream that is famous across all of the “M” roads.And then, there were the Brits.  The judges (and families) arrived in good spirits and raring to go, and the whole things was a true education in all things Sheepish. In addition to sheep, they do grow some Absolutely Fabulous people on those little islands, we must say.  Some were English, some Welsh, some Scottish and some Irish, but all delightful.  And good sports, to boot.  They will be sorely missed – at least until next spring (we hope).  Sincere thanks to all from the Backyard Green Films crew.  Our lives are better for having met you.Links:https://www.nahillsheepshow.com/ Support the show

BOOKS:WISHFUL DRINKING by CARRIE FISHER FORBIDDEN NOTEBOOK by ALBA DE CESPEDES YELLOWFACE by REBECCA F KUANGHarriett's guests today are comedian and writer Helen Lederer known for so many roles including as Catrionia in Absolutely Fabulous. Recently she has published her memoir Not That I'm Bitter and set up the Comedy Writing In Print Prize. She has opted for the hugely witty and knowing memoir Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher detailing her tumultuous life as the child of two Hollywood stars who often couldn't separate fantasy from reality. Ilaria Bernardini is an Italian novelist and screenwriter. She is currently working on Bernardo Bertolucci's final script which Ilaria co-wrote with hi -The Echo Chamber. Her choice is the seminal feminist Italian novel Forbidden Notebook by the Italian-Cuban writer Alba de Cespedes about the inner life of an Italian housewife and Mama of the family. Harriett's choice is Yellowface by Rebecca F Kuang - a cautionary tale for our times of plagiarism, cultural appropriation, social media storms and more.Producer: Maggie Ayre

Our guest today is a writer and actress who broke the mould as a stand up comedian in the first wave of Alternative comedy. Helen Lederer has appeared in some of the finest UK comedy shows over the last 40 years including Bottom, Absolutely Fabulous, Naked Video, French and Saunders, Girls On Top, The Young Ones and many, many more. She did stand up at a time when female comedians were few and far between and brightened up every single show she appeared in for decades. Helens new autobiography 'Not that I'm bitter' is a hilarious trip through accidents, apologies and awkward situations which never flinches and always brings a smile to your face. It is a real delight that we can welcome the brilliant Helen Lederer to 'What Goes Around'.First off however we celebrate Pride month and take a journey into the world of Gay clubbing, we talk to Sy from The Phoenix about organising Bristol's Pride events and running an inclusive and friendly safe space for all in his pub. We also speak to Chris the resident DJ at 'Don't Tell Your Mother' one of Bristol's longest running Gay nights about community and longevity. To round things off we speak to the 'Girl on Girl' collective about their incredible lesbian events which break the musical mould by offering futuristic club music from around the world in a safe and creative space. Before all that Deb gets her tidy on and imposes order on some oddly shaped pieces of cardboard while Eamon looks on in awe.It is a bumper episode to celebrate Pride month and because of the issues that it raises we would like to invite you to show support for the LGBTQ+ community by donating to our selected charities - The Albert Kennedy Trust (which helps LGBTQ+ people who have been made homeless) and Young Minds (who offer support and practical help for young people dealing with their mental health).

Helen Lederer is a writer, actress and comedian. She began her career on the alternative comedy circuit, performing alongside many of today's household names, and quickly landed roles in iconic sitcoms such as Absolutely Fabulous, Bottom and Girls on Top. Since then she's appeared on TV and radio, written bestselling books and set up the Comedy Women in Print prize. Despite this, Helen admits she often struggles to believe in her own success. She tells James about her fascination with status and explains why she feels she has never quite made it to the top. Not That I'm Bitter - A Truly, Madly, Funny Memoir by Helen Lederer is out now.

I refuse to become invisible as I age. Getting older is challenging, but I have found a power and strength in ageing; I didn't anticipate my 50s being my bad bitch era. This episode is going to show you that you ain't dead yet and the best is still to come. Lynne Franks is a legendary PR and founder of the SEED Women's Empowerment - she's also the woman who inspired the hit sitcom Absolutely Fabulous - and Rose Rouse, co-founder of Advantages of Age, a social enterprise that challenges the media narrative around ageing.

My guest today is the writer, actress and comedian Helen Lederer. Helen began as a stand-up comedian in the “comedy swamp” of the 1980s, where women were like hen's teeth and rose to fame with her sloaney girl at the bar in the BBC Comedy ‘Naked video'. Then came Saturday Night Live, The Young Ones, French and Saunders and Bottom with Rik Mayall. But she's probably best known as Catriona the dippy journalist in the TV series Absolutely Fabulous.It was after writing her first novel, Losing It, that Helen set up the Comedy Women In Print prize to put funny women's writing on the map and help ensure the next generation wouldn't have to put up with the lack of recognition she endured. (Also, she was pissed off!)Now the woman Dawn French calls “the third funniest woman in the world” has written a hilarious and frequently painful memoir about surviving that swamp, Not That I'm Bitter. She tells truths, she names names and she gives herself an absolute hiding!Helen and I got together over a Zoom cuppa to discuss life as the lone woman on the 80s comedy circuit and why being a pioneer is all very well, but she'd rather have had mainstream success! She also talked about professional jealousy, not “being in the A team”, fear of authority, why she's spent her life on a diet (remember Limmits biscuits?!) And being tougher on herself than anyone else.* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Not That I'm Bitter by Helen Lederer and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.* If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com• And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls @ Pineapple Audio Production.

This week, Josh and Dru watch the incredible British found footage film from 1992, Ghostwatch. From wiki: “Ghostwatch is a British mockumentary supernatural horror TV movie, first broadcast on BBC1 on Halloween night, 1992. Written by Stephen Volk, and directed by Lesley Manning, the drama was produced for the BBC anthology series Screen One by Richard Broke, Ruth Baumgarten and Derek Nelson. Despite having been recorded weeks in advance, the narrative was presented as live television[citation needed]. During and following its first and only UK television broadcast, the show attracted a considerable furor,[1] resulting in an estimated 1,000,000 phone call enquiries to the BBC switchboard on the night of broadcast, comprising a mixture of complaints and praise for the programme's unique presentation.[2] This outrage is often compared to Orson Welles' 1938 The War of the Worlds radio broadcast and the 1994 Without Warning television film, both of which also caused nationwide panic in the United States.But also: Baldur's Gate 3, Dawn of the Dead, Horror in the High Desert, Lake Mungo, Spirits of the Dead and Video Archives, The First Omen, The Omen, Immaculate, Maxxxine, Task Master, Red Dwarf, Absolutely Fabulous, The Stone Tapes, Gothic, The Guardian, Don't Look Now, The Conjuring 2, and more!NEXT WEEK: The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971)Follow them across the internet:Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://twitter.com/BloodhausPodhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/ Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/ Joshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/ 

#496 Julia Sawalha's Well - Richard has great news about his (pre-breakfast) weight (which may no longer be true by time of broadcast). And in another attempt to get some closure for his romantic past, his guest is fantastic actress and ex-partner, Julia Sawalha. They talk about the impact of Press Gang and the gruelling audition process, working with Rik Mayall and Michael Palin (not at the same time), the process by which Absolutely Fabulous developed and brilliant casting that led to its success and how Julia won Stars in Their Eyes after zero sleep thanks to a Coronation Street actress throwing chairs around. There may be some mention of the relationship, the embarrassment of watching Fist of Fun with Richard's dad, Rich and Julia's shared spirit guide, the extraordinary nicknames of her former partners (including Richard's), some controversy and disagreement about how they broke up and the drunken fights and near death experiences of the Time Gentlemen Please cast. Plus an amazing ghost story and the surprising recasting of a movie sequel. This really has everything.

Edmondson went on to star in Filthy Rich & Catflap while taking roles in Blackadder, Absolutely Fabulous and even Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi.

Dame Joanna Lumley and Gyles have known each other for over 50 years - and this is a chance to hear them reminisce about her incredibly rich, varied and star-studded life and career. Joanna spent her childhood in India, Hong Kong and then at boarding school in Kent and went on to become a model in swinging London in the 60s and then an actress on film, TV and stage. She is, of course, best known for her portrayal of the drink-addled, chain-smoking Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. But she is much more than that - as her amazing performance at the very end of this podcast shows. We recommend that you listen up to the end...

At the end of the show a listener question from Ian Mout Recommendations: Eamonn: Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays The Rent (Hardback) Cavorting naked through the Warwickshire countryside painted green. Acting opposite a child with a pumpkin on his head. These are just a few of the things Dame Judi Dench has done in the name of Shakespeare. For the very first time, Judi opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra. In a series of intimate conversations with actor & director Brendan O'Hea, she guides us through Shakespeare's plays with incisive clarity, revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process and inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans. Interspersed with vignettes on audiences, critics, company spirit and rehearsal room etiquette, she serves up priceless revelations on everything from the craft of speaking in verse to her personal interpretations of some of Shakespeare's most famous scenes, all brightened by her mischievous sense of humour, striking level of honesty and a peppering of hilarious anecdotes, many of which have remained under lock and key until now. Instructive and witty, provocative and inspiring, this is ultimately Judi's love letter to Shakespeare, or rather, The Man Who Pays The Rent. https://www.waterstones.com/book/shakespeare/judi-dench/9780241632178  Stuart: @historyinmemes Daily history lessons. Education through memes! https://twitter.com/historyinmemes  Ruth: Robert Carlyle returns to screens for the third instalment of fan favourite political thriller COBRA: Rebellion with Jane Horrocks joining the cast. Prime Minister Sutherland (Carlyle) remains in office at Number 10 alongside Victoria Hamilton (The Crown), who is back as Chief of Staff, Anna Marshall. Jane Horrocks (Bloods, Absolutely Fabulous) also joins the cast, entering the cabinet as Victoria Dalton, a new populist Defence Secretary. In this season, Prime Minister Robert Sutherland faces more challenges than ever before. Just as his popularity plumets in light of a new, controversial police-protest bill, his administration is plunged into chaos when an environmental demonstration ends with grave consequences. As the inquest into the events at the protest gets underway, the Prime Minister and his government begin to realise that all is not as it seems. And with his daughter potentially embroiled with the group behind it all, his interest in the case isn't purely political, adding further turmoil to his already strained homelife. The investigation quickly takes them into the dark underbelly of the nation's power, and the PM starts to doubt whom of his team he can truly trust. The crisis spirals further to encompass not only the urgent threat of environmental destruction but also the malignant corruption of the arms industry, the rise of shadowy corporate security firms and the grim reality of the UK's relationship with a crucial ally. The rebellion will push Robert Sutherland to the edge and force him to question what he's personally willing to sacrifice in order to stay in power. https://www.skygroup.sky/en-gb/article/-the-explosive-third-instalment-of-sky-original-drama-cobra-rebellion-coming-to-sky-max-and-now-on-12-october-

Most of us know Mary Portas as a swashbuckling TV presenter with a flame-red bob, but her career away from the screen has been no less remarkable. She did the window displays for Topshop during its heyday and was the creative director of Harvey Nichols when it was immortalised on Absolutely Fabulous. Nowadays, however, she runs her consultancy, Portas, which helps brands create purpose and beauty in everything they do. As this episode reveals, her life story is incredibly rich and filled with both trauma and triumph.

High Society WAS a show. The year was 1995, and women all over New York City were winning publishing companies in divorce settlements. Such was the case with Dorothy "Dott" Emerson, played by Mary McDonnell. She published the trashy yet highly successful romance novels penned by her best friend Ellie Walker, played by Jean Smart. The show is pretty much just about the daily comings and goings of Dott and Ellie as they live it up as outrageously as possible amongst New York's high society scene. What did Elizabeth Taylor have to do with all of it, and what exactly was Liz Night on CBS?! Brynn, Aaron and Barry put on their best black tie and jewellery, pop some champagne, and try to figure out why this show didn't get invited to any more parties.

On today's season finale we're joined by a national treasure, and a name synonymous with travel, Dame Joanna Lumley. Joanna's appetite for adventure was deeply engrained from childhood. She was born in Kashmir in the last days of British India, the daughter of an army officer who served with the Gurkhas. Throughout her childhood her parents lived in Asia, moving to Hong Kong and Malaysia, while she spent term times at school in England.From her early days as a fashion model, gracing the covers of magazines and strutting down runway, Joanna Lumley was destined for greatness. But it was her iconic role as Patsy in the hit TV series "Absolutely Fabulous" that truly catapulted her into the hearts of millions. I love Wikipedia's description of Patsy - “an alcoholic, a chain smoker, and a frequent recreational drug user. She carries drugs with her at all times, storing joints in her trademark beehive."After surviving solo on a desert island, on the groundbreaking show Girl Friday, Joanna soon became as synonymous with travel as she was with Ab Fab, setting off on epic journeys that would make even the most seasoned globetrotter green with envy, from Japan and India to the Caribbean and the Silk Route. What makes her so remarkable is not just her fearless spirit but her genuine love for the people she meets along the way. She champions causes close to her heart, advocating for the rights of the Gurkhas, supporting endless charities, and shedding light on the important issues affecting our world.So, fasten your seatbelts and get ready as we embark on a journey through the extraordinary life and awe-inspiring travels of Joanna Lumley, from Malaysia to Uzbekistan, Italy to Indonesia.Destination Recap:Kashmir, India Hong KongMalaysiaBatu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia MadagascarDelhi, IndiaUzbekistan Tash Rabat, Kyrgzystan Sienna, ItalyBanda Islands, IndonesiaSudanRomaniaJoanna Lumley's Spice Trail Adventure starts on 5th July at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.With thanks to today's sponsors:Citalia - Discover the real Italy with Citalia, the UK's leading Italian holiday specialists.

Hey folks! Do you love wildly eccentric characters? Quick wit and biting humor? Well, then do I have the show for you…  Mansfield Mysteries is a satirical, cozy murder whodunit, set in quiet, affluent Berkshire Bay, and featuring the inquisitive socialite Dorinda Mansfield. She slays with sass, class, and a martini glass. With the help of her devoted daughter, Stacey—as well as the occasional frenemy—Dorinda digs for clues, navigates Berkshire Bay's elite social circles, and sifts through years' worth of grudges and motives. Make no mistake about it, Mansfield Mysteries is a celebration of fierce women.  Season One is told over nine hilarious, fast paced episodes. Each three-chapter story finds Dorinda wrapped up in a new murder. You'll enjoy this show if you can imagine Murder, She Wrote with characters from Absolutely Fabulous - or Only Murders in the Building if the amateur detectives were sassy socialites. IMPORTANT: This month, the show creators are crowdfunding for Season Two of Mansfield Mysteries on Seed & Spark. We'd love for you to check out the show and afterward consider supporting the show. We'll leave a direct link in the show notes of this episode. Seed&Spark Crowdfunding Link: https://bit.ly/mansfield-mysteries-Seed-Spark THIS EPISODE: To The Depths, Chapter One.

I am so thrilled and actually very starstruck to be joined by the one and only Joanna Lumley on today's episode. I grew up watching her on Absolutely Fabulous, have admired her work with the Gurkhas, and have been fascinated by her unconventional upbringing and theatrical career. It was an honour to speak to Joanna about her incredibly colourful life: her career ups and downs, the pressure she faced growing up and her attitude towards mental health in the modern world. Whilst Joanna's view might be one you don't necessarily agree with, we can't deny that mental health has become a huge buzzword in society. There's an epidemic of influencers that are speaking on mental health's behalf with little understanding and I do think it's very important we properly educate ourselves about mental health as well as how complicated and nuanced so much of it is rather than just jumping on the bandwagon.Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram: @hurttohealingpod--A big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

Fresh from the Podcast Movement Evolutions conference in Las Vegas, Theresa & Sherry share a bit of what they gleaned and observed, during this episode. The hosts agree that while it did not deliver in terms of expectations, it absolutely provided the necessary landscape for clarity. Instead of panels of successful podcasters eager to share their industry wisdom, hacks, and lessons-learned, the rooms were populated mostly with industry professionals sharing stories relating to their products. Many had wonderful goods & services to offer, and one must be discerning when listening to the din of voices. That is a practice in and of itself.They discuss the idea of more and abundance – Abundance is more but rooted firmly in a purpose. Revisiting the why, periodically, is essential to staying aligned. More for more's sake, like expectations, can lead to disappointment. Go for the gold, the copper, the stone, or wherever the heart of your why is rooted, and abundance is the reward.In the heightened realities, disparate realities, changing realities, and steady realities experienced in five days in Las Vegas, the hosts discuss how it might be to live in equanimity. Having preferences is human and standards is great, but being fully present and okay with things as they are is an option that practices offer when done with consistency. Evidence of the story Sherry shared about the Dala Lama could not be verified, but the essence of it remains true. How can we feel the same satisfaction and contentment (equanimity) whether consuming a five-star meal or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. What was revealed through the whole and all its parts, is that Anecdotal Anatomy (the podcast) will continue to expand in content and seed new growth through Anecdotal Anatomy in Action (live and virtual events & programs). This episode is dedicated to Las Vegas, a loud, bright, mythical, action-packed teacher. “Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” Scarlet Begonias, Grateful Dead Sources:Anecdotal Anatomy (please visit website for updates on events, programs and more)Neon MuseumThe following (OmegaMart & Dramcorp are part of the immersive art and AI experience)oMegaMartDramcorps Couldn't isolate the Absolutely Fabulous clip, but for those interested in watching the episode, it is Season 6, Episode 3 (When Edina is at the Commune)If anyone knows more about the Dalai Lama story, please email us at: AnecdotalAnatomy@gmail.com Our Amazing Team:Judith George - Editor (video & audio)Keith Kenny - MusicCindy Fatsis - Photography

For this month's second Britainology... well, we tried. We booked a guest and we got it cleared to record on location in a chippy! And then the guest had an emergency and the chippy wasn't really suitable to record in. So we ate fish and chips and then discussed the meal, plus the history of the dish, plus our experiences in chippies and takeaways in general. And then we happened upon the idea of Mr. Waluigi's Fish and Chips where they have a pro-ISIS patriotic mural. And then Milo learned a beautiful turn of phrase that will stick with him forever: pig husks--enough is enough!!!
