New York, NY – Comedy genius never goes out of style, darling – and to prove it, BBC Home Entertainment is releasing the Absolutely Fabulous: Absolutely All Of It box set on November 5, 2013. This must-have accessory for the holiday season contains every episode and special from the award-winning series, spanning over 20 years of misguided adventures with fashionista best friends Edina (Jennifer Saunders, French & Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley, The Corpse Bride) – all tucked away in a super-luxe limited edition faux (totally PC, sweetie) iguana skin clutch bag.
