Popping Culture: AbFab goes Olympic

I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine who had never seen an episode of Absolutely Fabulous.

It then donned on me — that he is only a few years older than the famed Brit-com. Yes, AbFab is 20. Gah. It was then I felt really, really old.

But not as old as Patsy.

Edina and Pats are back at it again, with the final episode of their three-part 20th-anniversary event, this time gearing up for the 2012 Olympics. It makes one wonder: what kind of events could they enter? Would Pats win gold in cocaine snorting? Edina Monsoon, medallist in mockery?

We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, here’s a teaser.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
