Customer Reviews of Absolutely Fabulous - Absolutely Special (The Last Shout/In New York)

The real deal about this DVD
First, know this...No one has seen the DVD yet because it has not been released yet. Secondly, the press release in the U.K. stated that there will be commentary from Jon Plowman AND Jennifer Saunders. Note that Jon Plowman is the Executive Producer of this episode and Tristan Shapeero is the Director. At any cost, this is a fantastic special to own if you are a Ab Fab fan. Whoopie Goldberg is halarious in this and Serge is finally seen and Eddie and Patsy tie the knot. What is best to look forward to is Season five already being filmed. 8 episodes, the first 5 have been taped already, "Cleanin'", "Book Clubin'", "Birthin'", "Drinkin"' and "Panic". Saffy gives birth in the third ep. Enjoy!!!!

Cheers.....thanks a lot.....!!!!
Six years span the two 'special' episodes that are included on this Fab disc and they're finally here and almost worth the wait.
The material is hilarious, as usual, and the out-takes...most of which are from 'The Last Shout' are not only just out-takes but extended/alternate and deleted scenes. The out-takes from 'Gay' are relegated to a mere few minutes....Damn!!!
Doesn't matter though...what is here is great. And a welcome completion to anyones AFBAB dvd collection. The aspect ratio isn't all that disturbing....as a matter of fact.....coming from someone who has been pro-widescreen since the early days of special VHS letterbox editions of films.....it didn't matter to me at all....but if you need something to be disappointed in....that would be it.
'The Last Shout' is broken down into its proper televised 2 parts...with part 1 running 42:56 and part 2....42:24. 'New York' or 'Gay' clock's in at 54:10. Both 'special' episodes include footage that for some reason failed to make air when BBC America ran them at their debut times. And, of course, the bleeped language is intact. You have the option of selecting which episode to view OR running the whole thing. The out-takes run 13:43. That's about it...No commentary...No optional language selection. Bare bones....but anything ABFAB is hardly that!!!
The guests that appear on the 'Gay' episode range from the cute as hell Rufus Wainwright to Whoopi Goldberg. Graham Norton gives a nod to Patsy's past and Debbie Harry/Blondie does most of the soundtrack culminating with an appearance at a New York club singing "...if your memory serves you well..." Hardly singing 'Wheels On Fire' as you may have read in previous reviews. Josh Hamilton, who if you haven't seen in 'Urbania'...DO!!!, is perfect as 'not-at-all-fabulous' Serge. The collection is complete...that is until Series 5, YAY!!!!, takes its bow later in the Fall. If you love ABFAB....you need this disc. So....go get it......load up your multi-disc player....pour some Boli....and have an Absolutely Fabulous Weekend chock full of laughs!! Cheers, Sweeties!!!!
