You probably remember watching Absolutely Fabulous – the show about two drunk, over the top, excessively crazy bitches. It may be the very place Amy Winehouse got the inspiration for the beehive, and possibly her bad behaviour as well. BBC Films has now jumped on board, and a film is on the way.

Jennifer Saunders is set to pen the film, once she’s done with the Spice Girls stage musical, Viva Forever. (Yes, this means that there is a Spice Girls musical. I’m truly sorry, too.)

Absolutely Fabulous follows the lives of two best friends –  Edina, an international PR guru by trade but a 1960s teenager at heart, and Patsy, a sex-crazed magazine editor. Ab Fab: The Movie will kick off with Patsy and Edina waking up hungover in the empty, drifting yacht of an oligarch in the middle of the ocean. Even worse, their cellphones can’t get a signal. The film is set for release next year.

In case you’ve forgotten, check out the video for some of the best bits from the awesome TV show.
