Description:
Edina and Patsy are back and devastatingly divine in this extra fabulous special, with a hilarious guest appearance by Nathan Lane! Edina has been bitten by the home makeover bug and wants to redecorate the kitchen. The trouble is, she's awfully fuzzy on the specifics. At wit's end, Eddy and Patsy shop for inspiration -- under threat from Saffy to make a decision -- but will they fail and have to resort to redecoration regression therapy?

For those who need a fix of feeling Absolutely Fabulous, a spot of luck: the 2004 AbFab special, White Box. Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) are vulgar, conceited, self-absorbed, and petty--and that's on a good day. Saunders' writing is still crackling, and the two stars give unapologetic debauched performances. The plot is minimal, revolving around Eddie's desire to remodel her kitchen, which goes hilariously awry, and the deadpan Julia Sawalha, who plays Eddie's daughter, Saffie, is again a tragic straightwoman. Edina, to Patsy, who's just entered the gutted 'white box': 'What do you think of the kitchen, Pats?' Patsy, slightly checked out: 'I think it's fabulous.' Saffie: 'It isn't done yet.' Edina: 'No, sweetie, maybe she's right. Maybe this IS fabulous.'
The regular supporting cast is on hand, as are several guest stars making cameos, including Laurie Metcalf as a charlatan past-life 'regressor' and Nathan Lane as a campy decorator. The extras are also notable, including the original skit that launched Ab-Fab, and a great behind-the-scenes mini-doc hosted by Saunders. Champas, darlings? --A.T. Hurley

Rating:  - AbFab Continues To Be Absolutely Fabulous
What's not to love? The old gang reunites for more endless hilarity. May AbFab never die!
Rating:  - ABSOLUTELY ABYSMAL!
Please read & re-read all of the reviews for this item. Fans are clearly divided & you may have a hard time deciding for yourself. I have been a fan of this show since it began (as well as "French & Saunders" before AbFab even existed) & can still watch every episode as if it were new. Funny, funny, funny. It never gets old.
I have been waiting for this on DVD forever as I never got to see it on TV. The so-called "lost" episode of a favourite TV series I'd hoped for. "White Box", however, does *NOT* make for a "graceful bow" as a series finale & loses its appeal instantly after the first scene (with the goat & the unexpected Leo Sayer reference!), only when Bo & Marshall show up do we get a temporary reprieve. The remainder of the episode is watered-down, unfunny rehash of plots we've seen before in this show. Patsy is barely used in this episode, more or less just a "prop" of sorts the way it plays out & Saffy (rather, the actress portraying Saffy!) just looks like she's ready for the misery to end. Even guest star Nathan Lane failed to make me laugh, which is rare. AbFab guest stars are normally icing on the cake. And Laurie Metcalf...it's too sad for words. It's that same obnoxious, scatterbrained character she played on "Roseanne" for NO apparant reason. Cross-series rehash!!! By the time she showed up, I was ready to press "stop" on the DVD player...but watched the train wreck all the way to the end, praying it wouldn't end with such ... Read More
Rating:  - Funny as Usual
I love Absolutely Fabulous and this was the last DVD I needed to complete my collection, so of course I bought it. It wasn't as funny as say series 2 or 3, but it definitely had it's moments and if you're a hardcore AbFab fan like me, you can't not have this in your collection.
Rating: - Minimalism skewered
No comedy television show has ever been so perfectly dead-on in its satire of a particular time and observations of a society obsessed with fashion trend and celebrity. This episode with its demented take on designers will rank as one of the series best. Miranda Richardson's character Batina is cruelly hysterical.
Rating: - great final episode of abfab
great final episode of abfab if you love the seriers and the specials this is a must have
