MUMBAI: English general entertainment channel Star World continues to add new shows to its lineup. The latest one is a British comedy with plenty of satirical bite - Absolutely Fabulous. It airs every Saturday at 10 pm from 15 October, 2005.

The broadcaster states that the show's USP is its uncensored bad behaviour and extremely satirical humor, The main protagonists of Absolutely Fabulous are Edina Monsoon and her friend Patsy - two hard-drinking, drug-taking, completely and outrageously selfish middle aged women.

Their cruel humour focusses on the hypocrisy of today's society, much to the chagrin of Edina's more moral and conservative daughter, Saffron.

In the first episode, neurotic PR bigwig Edina and Patsy, fashion editor of a glossy magazine, face a heavy day. Eddy is frantically preparing for her debut fashion show and trying to prove to her daughter, Saffron, that she can function without booze. Patsy, content for alcohol to remain a substitute to food, isn't helping, and Eddy finds herself slowly drawn towards some wine.

The show stars Jennifer Saunders Shrek 2 as Eddy and Joanna Lumley Maybe Baby as Patsy.
