'Absolutely Fabulous' film won't happen: Jennifer Saunders

Actress Jennifer Saunders has scrapped plans for the movie adaptation of hit British sitcom 'Absolutely Fabulous' because she doesn't want to ruin the show's legacy.

The 55-year-old comic actress had revealed two years ago that she was working on a script for a feature film, reported Daily Mirror.

"The film will never happen. 'Ab Fab' is in such a nice place now. There's such a danger we could ruin it," she said.

Saunders loved working on the show - in which she played hard-partying PR agent Edina Monsoon opposite Joanna Lumley as magazine editor pal Patsy Stone - and said filming often had to be halted when she and her co-stars, which also included June Whitfield and Julia Sawalha, got the giggles.
 

"Laughter stopped filming all the time. Joanna as an Old Patsy was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It took us two days to film two minutes of that episode because we just peed and peed and peed with laughter," she said.
