Joanna Lumley thinks an Ab Fab reboot would be ‘impossible’

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Joanna Lumley thinks an ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ reboot would be “impossible.”
The 75-year-old actress – who played boozy fashion editor Patsy Stone in the BBC sitcom alongside Jennifer Saunders as hapless PR guru Edina Monsoon – believes that the iconic series has “had its time” and couldn’t be remade because the “world has changed.”
She told the Metro newspaper: “It’s entirely up to Jennifer and she’s said she doesn’t want to do anymore. Things have their time. It would be impossible to make that series now, if you think of Edina’s ghastly take on the world, her appalling snobbery and racism, their drug-taking, heavy drinking and Patsy’s chain-smoking and the fact they have the morals of alley cats.
“It was funny because we used to laugh at those things. Now people are very strict and they go, ‘This is setting a bad example’ couldn’t get away with it now – the world has changed.”
Former model Joanna -who is also known for her travel documentaries – is now fronting a new series will see her jetting off to cities such as Paris, Berlin and Rome.
She added: “They’re among my favourite cities. In my youth I worked as a model in Berlin and Paris and I adore Rome. When I was at convent school, my dream wasn’t to take A levels and go to university – pooh! Who wants to do that? – I wanted to wear lipstick and nail varnish and put a little scarf on my head and drive through the Roman streets, maybe on the back of a Vespa, like Gina Lollobrigida.
As a young model I’d come over for a photo shoot, stay for a couple of days in cheap hotel and just soak it all in. I found the Parisians’ intoxicating. I thought, ‘One day somebody will mistake me for a Frenchwoman and that will be the greatest compliment in the world.’”
‘Joanna Lumley’s Great Cities Of The World’ starts tomorrow (17.03.22) at 9pm on ITV.
