<P><FONT face=Arial>Spot on, Natacha! Both Lynda and Saffy are dominating
megalomaniac bitches from hell - the only difference is that Saff draws the line
at her mother and Patsy, while Lynda takes her bitchiness out on anyone and
everyone. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>And yes, I am a big AbFab fan, though it looks rather dated
now. AbFab has a huge gay following, so I guess that's why I've always loved it.
The only pity is that the PG movie, 'Deadline' had to be scrapped because of
Julia's commitment to Season 2 of AbFab, as well as a *vaguely possible* Series
6 of PG. By the time PG Season 5 was being filmed, Julia had moved on to AbFab
and Steven Moffat to 'Joking Apart', also other cast members had fingers in
different pies and Kelda wanted to leave (not that I sorely missed her after
Friendly Fire), so I guess it just died a natural death.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT face=Arial>>Is</FONT><FONT face=Arial> > there anyone on-list
who's</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> an ardent Ab Fab fan</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Me : )</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>and can think of a moment in</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> series 1 where Saffy shows</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> 'Lynda' tendancies? Or indeed Lynda shows
Saffy</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> tendancies in PG series 5?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> It could just be a mannerism, a tone of voice,
a</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> look, something.</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Not that I've ever noticed, maybe sometimes when
she's</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>yelling at her mother but even then not really.</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>I've been</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> racking my brains about the PG question, but I
can't</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> see any Saffy</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> tendencies in Series 5 Lynda from what I remember.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> I think it's just</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> because Julia was just so comfortable in that
role</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> by '93 that it was</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> almosty second nature to her, and she could pull
off</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> the bitchiness etcetera</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> seemlessly. But in series 1 Ab Fab she would
have</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> just been settling into</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> her new role, and so the chances of her reverting
to</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> Lynda mannerisms for</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> comic effect may have been greater.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>I wouldn't have thought so - She's got completly</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>differnt people around her so she'd be reacting
to</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>them as well.</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> OK, I've asked a lot of questions here but I
hope</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> someone out there feels</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> inclined to answer some of them. That would
have</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> been an extremely chaotic</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> period in Julia's life in '93, juggling the
two</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> roles; trying to be the</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> naive daughter and the mega-bitch from hell all
at</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> once - as well of course</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> just being Julia and braving the
by-now-turbulent</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> waters of her relationship</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> with Dexter.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Naive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really haven't
seen</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>much of Ab Fab have you. Saffy's not naive she's</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>complelty in control and knows it. Every act is</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>caculated to acheive maximum anoyance of her
mother.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Saffy has a good time when her mother's not
around.</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Natacha</FONT></P>
<P> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>> But I digress...</FONT></P>
