Official thread for the Xmas Special!

[Dubs]

So, those of you who have seen it, how was it?

I've started downloading now, but it will still take some time...haven't been able to find the VoD special yet....

Where are you downloading from??

www.tvtorrents.tv/

But you need a program called Bit Torrent to download.

I loved the episode. I think it was a very good mix of new and "vintage" Ab Fab.

The ending was a little sad, though. I don't know, maybe it's the music that did it, but I really had an awful feeling it could be the big end (again)!

I too, really LOVED this special. I posted at the F&S forums about it, so I'll just copy and paste what I wrote there because I think I basically summed up everything in it...

I just finished watching the Christmas special (I had downloaded it) and I thought it was fantastic. After what some of you have said about it being not too good I was worried I wasn't going to like it, but personally I LOVED it. It was really good. I got somewhat bored during the Bo and Marshall scenes, but the rest was just hilarious. I especially liked Nathan Lane's scenes.

Now, like so many people have said, I DO think that this might have been a possible way to end the show. I also think it was left open enough to continue on, but it did have that ending "feel" to it. That music at the end made me feel sad because of it. I love this show to death and I don't want to see it end, but the more I think about it the more I think I would be fine with it. It is somewhat depressing to think about, but we'd live. Plus, if Jen's coming out with something new we all have that to look forward to! I completely agree with what YvonneAtkins said about if they would ever make a 6th series, but if this WAS the last Ab Fab episode ever, Jen ended it fabulously.

By the way, what YvonneAtkins said was, "If they do a 6th series I think they should wait a year or two so Jen has time to think of some refreshing ideas. I hope they do another series...but definately cut it down to 6 episodes instead of the 8 we had in Series 5."

I hope it's alright for me to post that -- I quoted her! She has now been forever quoted. ;D

Speaking of quotes, I particually loved this from the special..

"I just need something quick, that reflects me, you know!"
"Hmm..a mirror?"

That obvious joke would never work with any other show, I swear. It totally worked here.

Also, when Eddy starts making those noises ("caaaa caaaa" and so on) and then Nathan Lane (let's just call him by his real name shall we?) says "Ah..what, birds?" I just burst out laughing because I've always thought it was funny how Eddy would make random funky noises like that and then to have someone make fun of it in some way was so great

I've just got done watching it (FINALLY!) and I really liked it!
Loved Patsy's leakage
I did think the scenes with guest stars ran on a little long though.
The end feels really final thought doesnt it? *sniffle*

[Dubs]

Yeah, very final. But it's a good way to go, if they must.
