Absolutely Fabulous premiered in the UK on BBC on November 12, 1992. The series began as a short sketch in a French And Saunders TV programme, with Jennifer Saunders as the mother and Dawn French as the daughter. Jennifer Saunders later developed the idea into a six-part series for BBC Television. The show is about Edina Monsoon, a fortyish PR person with a daughter Saffron, who is much more mature and "together" than her mother.
