Summary: Eddy and Patsy get "special"
Review: This DVD comprises the 2 ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS 'specials', "The Last Shout" and "Gay".

"The Last Shout" - In the AB-FAB timeline, this special takes place after Series 3, when Jennifer Saunders was adamant that this was to be be last-ever AB-FAB story. Eddy and Patsy take a trip to the snowfields of Val de Ser, leaving Saffy at home with her stuffy new boyfriend Paolo Carlo.

During their event-filled holiday, Eddy becomes convinced that she is Christ returned after having a near-death experience on a mountaintop where she visited God (Marianne Faithful). Patsy is evicted from her flat above the Oddbins in the Kings Road, and Mother has shacked up with some old friends in a grotty caravan.

Saffy and Paolo decide to get married, leaving Eddy to plan the wedding of the century...

"Gay" - In the AB-FAB timeline this story takes place after Series 4. Eddy discovers that her absent son Serge is gay and living in New York. Since she and Patsy are in town during Fashion Week anyway, she decides to seek him out. With the help of Goldie (Whoopi Goldberg), a lesbian marriage celebrant, Eddy and Serge are reunited...but for how long?

AB-FAB fans will relish adding these stories to their collections. Always a fantastic show!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Audio Commentary
Review: While there seems to be unending speculation about whether there is audio commentary on this disc, I can state that the UK release of "The Last Shout" does indeed have commentary - and outtakes, which makes it a must-have. I've heard that Jon and Jen did commentary for NYC, but that remains to be seen.
