Episodes I love of shows that I love: Absolutely Fabulous - Poor (1994)


At the tail end of the second season of Ab Fab, "Poor" is one of (in my opinion) the strongest entries in the shows 39 episode run. It's a showcase of everything that is hilarious and ridiculous about the series. The performances of the whole cast are great (they're never anything less than that though) with Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumely giving one of their strongest performances in the series. Edina (Jennifer Saunders) goes erratically from subdued to completely insane in a moments notice and it is HILARIOUS.


The dialogue throughout the episode is fantastic, with the court rant by Edina at the end being a particular standout moment. It's a prime example of the sense of comedic timing combined with dramatic-ism that Jennifer Saunders has.
