Admirers of Bubble, Edina's uniquely incompetent PA played by Jane Horrocks, may have been alarmed by her absence from last week's Absolutely Fabulous, the first of the new series. Fear not: Bubble is back, while Jane Horrocks's career proceeds onwards and upwards. Her performance in Jim Cartwright's National Theatre hit The Rise and Fall of Little Voice has been followed by the lead role in the revival of Cabaret, currently the most sought-after ticket In London's West End.
In tonight's episode, Death, Edina's thoughts turn to her own mortality. How would she like to be remembered after her death? Is Saffron really an adequate monument?
