Busy putting the finishing touches to Spice Girls stage musical Viva Forever, Saunders is poised to return to the role of woman-child Edina Monsoon, with Joanna Lumley once again in tow as the chain-smoking Patsy Stone.
The plot – as it stands – looks set to find Eddy and Patsy nursing hangovers aboard a yacht, inexplicably lost at sea. The movie will follow three specials currently in production, the first of which is scheduled for a Christmas release – presumably now that Lumley has successfully saved the Ghurkas and finished her whirlwind Greek odyssey.
Saunders’ Ab Fab: The Movie certainly has the backing of BBC Films, anyway, with Christine Langan telling Deadline, “I think she’s a genius. I can’t imagine anything more exciting than working with her.”
