This is a lot funnier than the critics would have you believe. Panned when it first went out on the BBC there is a lot to enjoy here.Jennifer Saunders (who, it appears, is not a fan of this show) plays a costumed, period version of Edina from Ab Fab, with a little less clown tumbling and a lot more knowing winks. A fun performance and well written.Dawn French supports as her over-bosomed and over-sexed maid. Cleverer than the aristocracy and certainly not above a little bribery! Oh and she gets ravished repeatedly by the Marquis de Sade! Well, why not?Then there's the star of the show - Bouffant! He camps his way through it all with wonderfully cutting comments and a despising stare that could shatter glass. And don't mention the wigs....And lest we forget the Madame du Plonge and her nubile daughter... Quite an excellent ensemble cast.If you haven't caught this - or did so ages ago - it's now out on DVD.

These two are comedy gold, god love them.This show was hilarious, I laughed myself silly so many times, I hope this comes out on DVD.If you like ab fabulous you will like this. It is set in France during the revolution but thats about as historical as it gets. They are both fantastic and it is such a shame that this didn't get a second series.I love the episode where Saunders is accused of murder, and they lock her up, but of course shes innocent because she could never open all those doors. God it made me laugh.Definitely find a copy.

I was laughing very well, I like british humor like this and I like Jennifer Saunders. Great! I wish this serie would have more episodes. For it seems another perfect sitcom Black Adder with Rowan Atkinson / Mr.bean.

This was incredible! I couldn't believe just how funny this was! I was watching it and i didn't realise what it was for a while and i thought it was funny, then i recongised the main characters and i thought "YAH!!"This is funny, and it doesn't try to take itself serouisly, its just plain fun and NOTHING MORE! I loved this because it had the same sense of style and flair which ab fab did, it was funny and it also had everthing which made you laff.I loved this, it was funny and it was orginal, i just plain LOVED THIS!!!
