Ab-Fab Olympic special to air July 23

Absolutely Fabulous: Olympic spin-off special is set to hit the BBC on 23rd July 2012.

Stars Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley will transform into the roles of Eddy and Patsy in the last of the three special episodes to commemorate the show’s 20 year anniversary.

As the festival of strength, fitness and agility known as the Olympics draws near, Eddy feels past her sell-by date, with age catching up on her, party invitations no longer coming her way and the door of Stella McCartney’s shop permanently closed to her. But when she rents out her house to a Hollywood A-lister, best friend Patsy insists she has to get into shape to impress her high-profile guest.

Some old favourites are set to appear in this final episode including: Tanni Grey Thompson, Dame Kelly Holmes and Stella McCartney.

Absolutely Fabulous: Olympic Special is set to air on BBC One and BBC One HD 9:30pm on Monday 23rd July 2012.
