Joanna Lumley & Jennifer Saunders Interview - Lateline - Absolutely Fabulous Movie 1st August 2016

Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders appearance on late night Australian current affairs program Lateline during their Australian visit for the Absolutely Fabulous movie premieres. August 1, 2016.

[@matthewscott1091]

"That's what fame is for." That was actually really kind of beautiful what Joanna said. As a famous actress she offers what she can and what she can offer is shining a spotlight on important issues. I wish more famous people looked at their gift of fame like that. She's such a well spoken women with a lovely voice. Polar opposite of Patsy! 😉🍾🇬🇧💖

[@AManAndAMouse]

'We love your jacket. We wish we were wearing it.' J & J rock! As does Dawn!

[@CeeJai_K]

10/5/23 and I’m 42. What Joanna said about social media really resonated with me. She’s 100% right.

[@Jumpoable]

So eloquent, Joanna & Jennifer.

[@basilrodericks7791]

They are the best and Joanna is a genius.

[@Bustygirl-dz1wi]

I agree Joanna is amazing

[@glenysdunford819]

These ladies are such a great talent hilarious Joanna oh perfect timing

[@bornwisedistruction]

Everytime i see them together I can't help but keep a wide mouth grin

[@jessed0308]

same

[@Tr0nzoid]

Everything Joanna Lumley said about social networking is absolutely true.

[@trainrover]

`.. You`ve got to have time to be bored and boring on your own. ..` (JL, 8.43) Both of their cheekiness cracked me up.

[@eddiethorne170]

They look....wait for it....Fabulous.

[@738polarbear]

No .Theyre Absolutely Fabulous.

[@djccatterall]

I've finally found someone that hates social media as much as I do. I find it more antisocial than social. Nothing is personal anymore. And selfies are so weird to me. It's a sin if you don't answer your mobile like its meant to be permanently strapped to your face. That's just my opinion. Does anyone feel the same?

[@Tr0nzoid]

Yes, I do. It use to be that people contacted each other here and there, even close friends. Now they are constantly in touch with a "news" feed, revealing so much, cluttering our minds and constantly chatty.

[@jaytops]

You are on social media now lol

[@filipzawistowski4615]

Honey.... think. You're on KZbin. It's social and it's media.

[@johannesbols57]

Absolutely. My motto is log off and live.

[@johannesbols57]

@@filipzawistowski4615 There youtube but I think what's being discussed is Facebook and the other things where you are constantly replying to other people's posts. KZbin is the internet where you can get information and in this case entertainment.

[@rvm429111]

I could sit and talk with those two for days! cheers

[@rory8ify]

They are both beautiful. Sick of these comments based on who has aged most beautifully.

[@VIsTheMusic]

I LOVE YOU Lumley !!!!!!!

[@blue-ch7ik]

I love the way Joanna says "Darling" lol

[@shanehagan]

Joanna and Jennifer are super smart, and so cool. total rockstars! love it when jennifer goes "well this is latenight" and the interviewer corrects her to "lateline" lmao!

[@ashleyfrost8906]

"Did you ever eat, just tissues?" "Yes."

[@yl6088]

Joanna!! Absolutely beautiful inside and outside.

[@tomitstube]

love these two, and dawn.

[@Kinlever]

This interviewer is really being awkward. She is insulting them in every sentence by pitying how old they are, talking about "tragedy" of being old, and she does not make a difference between them and their characters in Absolutely Fabulous. It is great that they are playing two middle-aged women being silly, there is nothing tragic in it! This woman who asks questions does not understand that they are genius actresses and writers, not Patsy and Edina in real life. Joanna realized that and started making fun of her. Brilliant move to teach the woman a lesson.

[@survivor648]

Kinlever yes but Patsy and Edina were always worried about their age the movie is indeed about being old for Eddie. I actually like them in this interview all the other interviewers I have seen just drool all over them and I think they get a bit uncomfortable Jen is actually very shy and I do not think sh appreciates it when interviewers just base their interview on how lovely she is she is very intelligent and enjoys a good interview like this one. No nervous giggles

[@shirleykibbie5149]

I absolutely agree. That nasty little pop about Jennifer Saunders memoir was not needed.

[@davidvoelkel8392]

Show me the comparison interview where she asks a MALE actor about turning 70 and what a tragedy that is. Honestly, women of the world rise up and stamp out the patriarchy. Fox our planet, shut down all the wars, free women and girls from the tyranny of men and the token women who sop up crumbs of power at everyone else cost. ❤

[@MikeA15206]

Amen!

[@SHPNGGUY736]

I love these women!!

[@obgfoster]

Joanna Lumley referenced Eurpides. Mind. ..... Blown....

[@morganolfursson2560]

Euripides

[@sarahcascio5099]

I agree with Joanna lumley about social media

[@ciaransammon]

They are DAZZLING!!!

[@brianfuller757]

Imagine if all you did in your career was New Avengers and Absolutely Fabulous. Joanna Lumley is still incredible and with Jennifer , Iconic

[@jonathankieranwriter]

This was a while ago but it’s clear that Ms. Lumley had just had one whopper of a facelift before the interview. She’s SEVENTY there. Touching her chin constantly, positioning her hands, etc. Don’t get me wrong: it’s a FANTASTIC facelift, excellent work. But she is SEVENTY and the skin is that of a 25 year-old. 😂 It’s great surgery but a shocking juxtaposition. She looks younger here than she did when they first filmed that gig in 1991. Love ‘em both.

[@hydrogenroar]

Both ladies look beautiful but Joanna at seventy looks ASTOUNDING!

[@Bejaardenbus]

They don't, they're all botoxed up and there is 0 reason for them. Really too bad.

[@hydrogenroar]

Bejaardenbus Oh knock it off. Of course they've had work done but they look great in spite of it.

[@ninas1824]

Roger Hornaday yep

[@adamgoodword7888]

Woah, you are so right.... about her age... she's 70!!! And she looks AMAZING!! I cannot believe she is 70!! Who's grandmother looks like that????!!! I actually thought she was in her mid 50's. Jennifer is in her late 50's which is around what I guessed.

[@bornwisedistruction]

I'd be hard pressed to guess beyond 49 to 51 she looks just.......... Wow!

[@Aleakwe]

love these two. thank you for uploading

[@hagelby]

I Love Joanna Lumley & Jennifer Saunders

[@janzy58]

Thanks for uploading :)

[@iannestor5406]

Who cares what UTTER GENIUS looks like on the outside??? That said, they BOTH ARE GORGEOUS ~ OMG!!!!???!!

[@TomUK737]

I think what I love most about them is their modesty and self-deprecation, something lacking in later generations of actors

[@chrisorr1484]

I thought this was quite good. Clever, insightful, and witty and is a nice reminder that these are not functions of age. These are very talented women in class with Diana Rigg.

[@survivor648]

I hate when Jen and her accomplishments are left out of the intro after all Joanna May be an ex model and Bond girl but Jen has 30+ years of comedy under her belt but she wrote and starred in a series that went global and it lasted for more than 20 years because of Jens smart talented writing and acting.

[@tracymcginty.2860]

Interviewer so NOT on the same page ...huge cultural divide , she doesn't get them at all ....what a waste .

[@billie6528]

“Like for lunch today, I shall have an orange”. Ugh I wish I could say that!

[@CCaliforniaG]

The interviewer was a bit harsh with some of her questions

[@azjmsxhn]

alberici is not someone you wanna mess with darl

[@TheMarshmallowBear]

Now gurl, just because they are in comedy doesn't mean they got no brain, I'm fairly sure both of these gals are theatrically trained, and Joanna showed a lot of intelligence and a rather realistic outlook on life. So what, they didn't seem to be offended and seemed to actually enjoyed the chit chat.

[@scruffydingo7983]

She is Austraailiaan.. its all over her head.

[@adamgoodword7888]

Worst, dullest, most ordinary interviewer I have EVER encountered. I wonder if it was actually a joke??? Perhaps she was intentionally horribly boring and dry.

[@katieboo4211]

Joanna lumley is my hero! The interviewer doesn't seem to understand these individuals as people. I also think it's bizarre how people demonize people who eat lightly. What nonsense.

[@carolhunt1302]

I love you both! You both look absolutely fabulous! Cheers darlings!

[@lennypearl]

I love what Joanna said at 10:07 about that when she watched something, she did need to be reflected in anything, but that she could relate to the character, regardless of sex

[@daemonvassago4426]

I love these broads!

[@adamgoodword7888]

Yeh, like they're just the funniest broads on Brittish tv.

[@shakazulu3594]

Recasting Ghostbusters was a bomb.😂

[@NewWorldAstro]

For lunch today, i will have an orange 🍊

[@BHAKTIBROPHY]

Doesn't seem like the interviewer knows much about the show nor these two lovely and incredibly talented people. Certainly didn't see the Graham Norton interview she referred to. And Jennifer's memoir was fun and brilliant! Please interviewer... get real!

[@rosaf4661]

Absolutely fabulous 💝

[@ragemodels]

Omg love them !!! And Gorgeous Miss Lumly bought the house down!!! So agree with her!!!

[@ginnieassenza4610]

Love them Thx for cheering up whilst home-staying during this dreadful CODIV-19

[@darrenmiller6927]

Two of the funniest women of all time. Guilda Radner, Lucille Ball level hilarious. Outrageous, razor sharp, super talented women. Comic genius, absolute geniuses! Love that they're unflappable, who cares about what some little media "girl" thinks when your living legends adored worldwide. They know how loved they are, as should be.

[@Countdownlouisville]

Legends

[@colinadams3636]

when jennifer farts at the end lmfao and goes "its ok its latenight"

[@123tylerman]

LOL at the end when she randomly says "I did call it a Hamm machine. I'm absolutely sure of it now." 😅

[@philipsadler1724]

junkvideos Harm, you mong.

[@margaretryan2007]

junkvideos j9

[@sweetmusic3821]

Joanna said, "HARM machine," ... not HAMM machine.

[@73emerald]

LOL. Alberici is a fish out of water doing an 'entertainment' interview. I would love her to do an hour interview with JS or JL and skip the 'entertainment' part. When she pitched her socio-political questions the interview really worked.

[@olracsobi8352]

I completely agree with Joanna Lumley about mobile phones and social media or whatever else they are called: never had a smarterphone or a twitting or an assbook account.

[@kathygilbert1970]

It's wonderful to hear lovely, cut-glass English accents. Being well-spoken seems to be going out of fashion. Hearing Catherine Middleton speak is absolutely painful and she's supposed to be royalty. Both Jennifer and Joanna sound lovely.

[@philipsadler1724]

Ugh, the interviewer tries too hard "The only smart thing about a phone was...." "Turn James Bond into Jane Bond" ROFLMAO. Don't try and be funny in front of comedy legends.

[@mickroyton6447]

What bond film was Joanna Lumley in

[@survivor648]

I love both of them but Especially Jen I’ve alway thought she is more beautiful then Joanna especially when she was younger compared to younger Joanna I watched her in the short film Oxford by the comic strip not only was she beautiful she acted brilliantly.

[@lukejoseph1867]

This interviewer is the worst.. she needs to lighten up.. she is so serious n shit questions.... loosen up purrllleeesse...

[@ulfutstrand]

DONT forget Dawn French, Katy Burke, Ruby Wax and Jo Brand......and BUBBLES. Thank You.

[@WilliamPatrickGreen]

We see intellectual pomposity crossing material pomposity. We had so much fun, and took too much for granted.

[@hagelby]

[@MrDavfit]

I knew this wouldn't do well in the US ... darn ..thk god for the foreign Market

[@maralisil]

I always thought that Christopher Lee and Joanna Lumley would make a great couple on screen. (Dracula doesn't count!) 😊

[@MrScotmac]

dawn was there

[@ianclarke3627]

Love these two and all the cast of ABFAB ..and Dawn and the late great gone much to soon Victoria Wood

[@jameslaidler2152]

I would have thought my fellow Australians would have been a bit better. In any case, good thing for her Dawn French wasnt there too. The three of them would have really had her for lunch.

[@luminair11]

Lovely ladies and nice interview......but guess what....just found Joanna on the "twittersphere".....lol.....famous last words of hers as is nearly always the case I've found with myself and others! :-)

[@morganolfursson2560]

Joanna looks younger than Jennifer, being a vegan is the key i am sure , I smoke i drink, and yet i am in perfect health , and i am 42 , don't eat meat . But more importantly her brain is working and she is fearless , and so honest about the way the world functions .

[@n.t.6609]

10:50 What happened? I didn't get it

[@filipzawistowski8552]

I think her (or someone else's) phone went off and she pretended it was a fart.

[@Okinawatrip]

Textbook method on how to deal with a woke feminist who wants to see films made by women for women, featuring strong female characters. "Well, it's got to be mixed though, in'it?" Legends.

[@newnewnwo4-life497]

Wow Joanna looks so stunning and I suppose shes ageless looking and Jen looks in her 40s not hitting 60! Interviewer is awful!

[@harrisonstone4532]

Fucking fab darlings!

[@iannestor5406]

The character Edina came out in 1990 and is basically the female Homer Simpson.

[@filipzawistowski8552]

Since when was Homer Simpson a fashion obsessed paranoid trend follower who was consumed by anxiety with how people perceive him? He's basically everything that is opposite about Edina lol...

[@survivor648]

Kim Kardashian is NOT in the movie Jen cannot stand the Kardashians she is so far above them really

[@olracsobi8352]

Who is this Kate Mosh?

[@oneracehumanrace4349]

Graciously cheeky parting remark 😂😂 Two iconic ladies who sadly had the misfortune of being interviewed by a twat. As always, J & J were absolutely fabulous 😍😍

[@Firstthunder]

Didn’t know she was a Bond girl.

[@bharathkb5116]

The only reason I am in Social Media is,----I somehow get phone numbers of friends whose contacts I lost after leaving school...ITS JUST A FERRISS WHEEL WHERE ALL ARE THROWING DUNG AT ONE ANOTHER ALL OF THE TIME

[@clairerobertson1288]

Tapshit!! XD

[@lorelaigermain7708]

these two are absolutely fantastic. i despise this interviewer though.

[@norijean3279]

Joanna looks 39.

[@franlooving4203]

These women are fantastic, but that interviewer is horrible. She is so off, so clueless and she makes herself look so dumb. The women of abfab are beautiful, funny, and have great timing! I LOVE THEM! Maybe because I am 48, but I just love them!

[@billylyons7212]

Damn it's odd hearing Patsy being nice and intelligent

[@user-ob9do3qi6u]

Jenifer is so wonderful. and Joanna is right-facebook is boring, and a.terrible WAIST OF TIME !

[@survivor648]

Jen is beautiful her skin is flawless I think she is much prettier than Joanna. Joanna is pretty but Jen has aged better IMO honestly the whole female in the industry is such an old topic interviewers have been asking Jen the same question since F and S

[@Hen9207]

JL's mask of charm, slipped. Whoops

[@rubygayle2037]

That interviewer was awful.

[@thepinkzebra]

This person interviewing them in this clip is horrific. Absolutely atrocious.

[@breedakennedy3182]

Joanna Lumley, quote, unquote, doesn't eat very much. For instance, today, she will have an orange for lunch! The average person farts more than that an an hour. That's all I'm left with!

[@courtneysrodgers8317]

I'd love to have a few.....too many...drinks with Patsy and Eddie

[@irfankuran2097]

Does Jennifer Saunders really fart or what?

[@byculla6]

What an awful interviewer? She doesn't know anything! Absolutely Fab was amazing as a TV series. The movie was crap! What interesting women Joanna and Jennifer are!!

[@adamgoodword7888]

Agree, agree, agree and agree!!! Couldnt agree with you more!! :) Interviewer = OMG! Just the worst ever!!! Ab Fab series = one of the best ever. Ab Fab movie = worst comedy movie ever. Who wrote it!! All the hallmarks of Ab Fab were just not there. :( Joanna and Jennifer = awesome gals!!

[@Linge88]

"Who wrote it!!" Um... Jennifer did?

[@MrFolky77]

It's quite funny how everybody agrees to say how "terrible" that poor journalist was!! lol I thought she was great! Pleasantly dressed and groomed too... And there was a good balance between she and both our heroes... I don't know, that 's just my observation... Anyway, I think Jennifer looks hot with blond hair and no lipstick. But then again, I've always thought she looked hot....

[@grl8862]

Can we stop the ABC interviewing overseas comedians ? Awkward ! Local comedians are ok, as they all ex ABC employees.... Shaun M is a classic example from the ABC tool factory.

[@absolutelyfreestockshots1931]

Film is kinda lame and silly but bless their hearts

[@Pussycatfeathers]

They both look gorgeous, but Joanna looks amazing.....70? Unbelievable.....I'm guessing she's had a little help looking this way but so what...absolutely fabulous....never liked the plummy voice much though....

[@lrc4263]

Pussycatfeathers Joanna Linley has proudly avoided plastic surgery of any kind. So she claims. I tend to believe her, you can almost always tell when someone has had work done. She has a very good makeup artist. Beautiful as always

[@garethdavies4138]

the movie was terrible

[@jaytops]

Disagree it was fabtastic

[@stevencassidy6982]

It goes down the feminist route - how boring??

[@rubymaloney7600]

It's the ABC, would you expect the interviewer not to go there .... still, Joanna and Jennifer handled it very well ...... no male bagging!

[@Angeliquee666]

The interviewer led them that way
