An interesting excursion for us Ab Fab fans., 13 December 2001
Author: Devyalento Latchford Deschanel from London, England

Now, you're never going to be able to top Absolutely Fabulous when it comes to great British sitcoms. It was just too good. But Jennifer Saunders gave it her best shot here with Mirrorball, an interesting one-off show with the cast of Ab Fab coming together to play different roles in this rather stylish and funny show. The only problem with it seemed to be that they were essentially playing the same characters, just with different names. Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley swop Eddy and Pats for Viv and Jackie, who are just as manic and outrageous as their former characters, Julia Sawalha is still the calming influence of the group, Jane Horrocks's character Yitta may as well be Bubble from another country and June Whitfield is still relatively bemused as Dora. Otherwise, it was still an entertaining show, with the right amount of bitchiness and flair to keep you engaged. Plus, the scene with the peephole was classic, I wont say any more! Mirrorball wouldn't have worked as a series, the characters from Ab Fab are still etched firmly in people's minds, but as a one-off treat, Mirrorball was great.
