Joanna Lumley

Absolutely Fabulous was a BBC sitcom that aired in the early ‘90s through to the 2000s, with Joanna Lumley starring on the series. Funny enough, residual checks were a sad $45 per year, which surprised the cast.

Airing in 1992, the show lasted all the way until 2012, over the course of five seasons. It ran for a total of 39 episodes, along with seven specials specifically centering around the hilarious middle-aged ladies of the show.
