3.0 out of 5 stars Good memories but little "real" content, May 7, 2003

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Continuity (Hardcover)

This is a fun picture book that walks us down memory lane for this cult classic. The outrageous costumes and make up are fantastic. There are a few excerpts from the various shows, but many are handwritten and not easy to read. I think they could have added more "real" content, like detailed biographies of the cast members and some trivia facts about the episodes.

Die hard fans should love this, but they'll still feel something was a bit missing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ab Fab Must-Have!, January 15, 2002

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Continuity (Hardcover)

"Continuity" is a must-have for an AB FAB fan. Written by the show's writer/creator/star Jennifer Saunders, it provides an in-depth look into the funniest, most politically incorrect T.V. series of all time. Full of backstage pictures, tons of input by the cast, and hand-written notes by the show's stars, "Continuity" is the perfect book for the great T.V. series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun Book, December 27, 2001

This review is from: Absolutely Fabulous: Continuity (Hardcover)

This book is comprised of loads of Polaroids used to ensure hair/makeup/costume continuity (hence the name)during scene shoots of AbFab. They provide a rare inside glimpse of the cast in between shots. Fun book--Jennifer Saunders (GENIOUS!!!) gives bits of narration throughout (although it is sometimes very difficult to read her handwriting!!). A must-have for die-hard fans. Great conversation/coffee table piece!
