There are certain sitcoms that we may watch on a regular basis and we come to know the characters quite well. When you take a look behind the scenes of those shows, however, you might be quite surprised with what you find. Sometimes, the beginnings of those sitcoms is quite different than what you might otherwise see, but it can really help to heighten your appreciation for what is available on the telly.
One of the more famous sitcoms on BBC is Absolutely Fabulous, also known as Ab Fab. It was written by and it also stars Jennifer Saunders. It is based on rather bad behavior of the characters and is somewhat uncensored in its humour. The main characters, Edina and Patsy, are two hard living women and it tends to take the shot at today’s society and all of the hypocrisy that exists.
Although you may be familiar with the sitcom, you might not realise that Jennifer Saunders had more to do with it than simply writing it. In fact, it was based on a French and Saunders skit from 1990. They really put something funny together and fortunately, Jennifer Saunders was able to take the ball and run with it.
