"Sweetie darlings, we thought we'd seen everything until we screened the new nine-DVD complete anthology of the series called Absolutely Everything...The DVD set is a must have for Ab Fabicionados if only because this one is quilted. It's soooo Chanel, sweetie darlings." -Toronto Star

“A hoot, a howl, an outright scream.” -Washington Post

“In a few short months, Absolutely Fabulous has cemented its reputation as one of the most scathingly funny shows of the 90s.” -Sydney Morning Herald

“... absolutely unique, absolutely rude and absolutely politically incorrect... cult status is assured.“ -Variety

“C’est LE sitcom de l’année... on adooooore!” -Elle Magazine, French Edition

“Utterly original, utterly hilarious... one of the best television comedies ever made.” -New York Post

“A comic tour-de-force.” -Daily Telegraph

“Every fad and self-indulgent fantasy of modern life is relentlessly lampooned... Absolutely Fabulous is absolutely fabulous.” -Daily Express “Sidesplittingly funny from start to finish.”- Observer

“There was some terrific writing here, not least Edina's wonderful diatribe against the mother-loving Baby Spice (now her bossy client). Jennifer Saunders has exaggerated the grotesqueness of her characters, and, from their 1980s vantage point, she is running riot through contemporary issues. Saffy returned pregnant after being a human shield in Iraq, and the injection of new themes has given a whole new lease of life to the relationships. The performances were top notch throughout.”- Daily Telegraph

“Out with the Bolly, the long wait is over ... what a magnificent job is done by Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders as they liven up the viewing week's traditional graveyard ... Given its freshness and topicality, it's hard to believe that Ab Fab is 11 years old.”-Western Daily Press

“If you liked it before, then you'll love it now ... The acting is flamboyant, the laughter track loud and the humour unsubtle. If you like comedy unashamedly over-the top, then this is for you.”- The Times

“Old pill-popper Patsy is twisted and cruel – and gets better with each series.”- People

“There are some fine slapstick moments and Patsy is as vicious as ever...” -Guardian

“Fun and frolics galore.”- Express

“Bolly good fun.” -Sun

“Still managing to keep us laughing with their odd antics ... top-notch entertainment.”- Express

“...the one-liners still bite.” -Guardian

“Pats, Pats, Pats. Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. Bolly, Bolly, Bolly. Phone, phone, phone. Saffy, Saffy, Saffy. Oh look, there's Emma Bunton. More panto than sitcom perhaps, but still the odd laugh.”- Guardian

“The girls are back to spice things up ... watch out for a very amusing appearance by former Baby Spice Emma Bunton.”- Mirror

“It still has its beady eye on the trailing and grubby petticoats of that mindless old tart, Celebrity. Eddie's endless attempts to squeeze her complaining body into the fashionable shackles of the 21st century are mercilessly guyed by Bubbles: 'She's like a smoking beagle to Patsy's vivisectionist’.” -Evening Standard
