Ab Fab takes on New York

It was the day Patsy and Edina hit the Big Apple - and left it Absolutely Flabbergasted.

Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders tottered through the shopping streets of New York in typical deranged style before dropping in at a fashion show.

And from the bemused expressions of those around them, it was clear that many were not in on the joke.

The manic and man-hungry pair screamed abuse at the models on the catwalk during the show by designer Jared Gold as part of New York Fashion Week.
To the consternation of surrounding fashionistas who appeared not to have caught the American screenings of Absolutely Fabulous on cable TV, they cheerfully chain-smoked throughout.

But their main crimes, as usual, were sartorial. Patsy sported her trademark towering beehive and beestung pout while Edina's multi-coloured hat with knitted pom-poms was an offence in anyone's book.

The scenes were filmed for an Ab Fab special to be shown at Christmas.
