Fabulous but patchy farewell from French and Saunders | London Evening Standard

Yet, whatever director Hamish McColl put in their interval cuppas it helped. A revival of the original AbFab skit with French as the studious Saffy to Saunders’s iconic Edina brought comedy history vividly to life. There were showstopping surprises and a swipe at Ricky Gervais, with French doing the David Brent dance, sarcastically muttering: "That is hilarious, apparently." Revenge, no doubt, for Gervais joking about French’s weight.
