AB FAB NEW PILOT FOR FOX TV

Cult British comedy ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS is getting a makeover for American TV.

Jennifer Saunders at London Fashion Week - Spring/Summer 2009 - Betty Jackson - Inside. London, England - 17.09.08

Bosses at America's Fox network have signed to make a U.S. version of the hit BBC show - which ran in the U.K. from 1996 until 2005.

The show starred Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as booze-swilling fashionistas, and went on to win a Bafta Award and an Emmy.

Saturday Night Live writer Christine Zander will helm the U.S. version, and is working with Saunders on the pilot, which is slated to air in America later this year (09).
