Three Absolutely Fabulous specials will mark the 20th anniversary of the series on BBC One.
Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders will reprise their roles in the comedy series for three 30-minute specials.
The series, which centres on international PR guru Edina Monsoon and magazine editor patsy Stone, first aired in 1991 and finished in 2004.
“It’s great that we are able to celebrate our 20th birthday with all the original cast. Like a good bottle of champagne we hope that we have got better with time without losing any of our sparkle,” said Saunders.
“Last week when we started filming in dear old West London, it was as if nothing had changed. It was raining. Nevertheless, we are so happy to be working for an audience that has grown just a tiny bit older like us, but is still willing to let us fall over on TV in the name of PR.”
BBC Comedy executive producer Jon Plowman said: “Viewers have been fantastically loyal in their devotion to our show, so we’re really thrilled to say that it’s coming back for three new shows to celebrate our 20th anniversary. All of the originals who are back together again are still truly absolutely fabulous and the new adventures of Edina, Patsy, Saffy, Bubble and Mother, plus a few surprising guests, will be a real treat for viewers.”
