[@belladonna1482]

Anita & Marianne still rock after all these years. Such charisma and beauty!

[@justincrase]

This is so brillant. the writing, the acting. It just couldnt of been any better.

[@intradibles]

These ladies were the women behind the success of the Rolling Stones. 👍🏻

[@chrisbacos]

I wish I could have met Anita. Regardless of her past she seemed like such a neat lady.

[@drtoonie]

“They won’t have any use for you and me soon.” “Oh frankly, I’m bored anyway. What’s the point of me if I’m acceptable?” This dialogue is absolutely flawless.

Brilliant choices at every turn...casting, writing, music, costumes, set design. Long live AbFab! ❤☮🌎

[@MOTOPAC]

A masterstroke in casting!

[@carrotjuse]

It is a miracle those two women are even alive! At least half their friends are dead from the drugs they injected and swallowed. Two fabulous women who lived life to the absolute fullest, and lived to tell about it. There's no one like them around anymore. Mundus senescit.

[@GothBoyUK]

This was genius. You can tell what era someone is from if you ask them who God is. Some say Morgan Freeman, some say Marianne. 🖤

[@elkementil645]

Anita und Marianne....Duo infernal....sie werden die Ewigkeit überdauern!! Danke fürs hochladen LG, Elke ❤

[@catherinetodd]

Great video; thanks for posting. So glad these two wonderful talented women have survived!

[@namaste91]

Two 60s divas in one movie!Great!:)

[@fraserkatie]

Just reminding myself how beautiful this song is! I love this scene!

[@rnistuk]

Marianne Faithfull is amazingly talented.

[@Ennisburger]

Shes a very underrated lyricist.

[@fraserkatie]

OMG!!!!!! I love that song! Thats great!

[@heidisierra1250]

When I was a young girl my idol was Marianne and I fashioned my life around her, now I'm alot older, wiser, and more cynical and have become more and more like Anita everyday 😂😂😂

[@djStrimmer]

I like every bit of Marianne. Inspired idea to have this scene between them.

[@Saxonybedwitch]

A fabulous concept. My peers thought I was odd for loving Marianne.

[@Hanksalot]

They both still alive and kickin and probably have interesting stories to tell

[@philbecker4676]

Not anymore darlin.

[@deannawitt9376]

Song was in Thelma and Louise

[@fraserkatie]

I adore this scene where she is lying on the bed and gets sung to! Beautiful and wish they had done it for longer like it said in the audio commentary on the DVD!

[@irismac2442]

Just brilliant stuff..

[@pandaeyes42]

Genius! Can't give you a reasonble explanation why, but Marianne's voice (both speaking and singing) makes me melt!

[@monkfistlust]

Faithfull is my goodess since I child Ive met both later in my late teens I hung out with ANITA and Johnny THUNDERS smoking reefer and drinking screw drivers from a juice jar once in Keith Richards silver cloud limo Anita passed the bottle to me and John said HEY theres REAL VODKA in there kid! and I said WELL I HOPE SO..he just looked surprised like WHOOP! I looked like a farm girl not a groupie punk John was old fashioned italain. Anita laughed..it was a very cool 4 me evening in NYC!

[@Norvo82]

Having Marianne sing 'at the age of 47' when it's 37 in the original is a delicious extra level of shade.

[@VikingLad]

In the original what?

[@Norvo82]

@@VikingLad The original lyrics to the song she sings here: The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan.

[@richardgranger2901]

I remember watching this stoned and getting amazed by the colors in the background

[@fraserkatie]

and the song is great in the programme! Just shows how Edina feels. Brilliant! My favourite bit after the Book clubbing episode!

[@Nudiescorner]

AMAZING TWO WOMEN..MY ROLE MODELS FOR FIFTY YEARS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@fraserkatie]

It's also my favourite out of Absoultely Fabulous!!!

[@Mickcotton]

Absolutely Amazing 😻

[@fraserkatie]

AAARGH! I love this video!

[@fraserkatie]

The episode is called "Donkey" and the song is played in the middle when Edina is on a diet and trying to lose weight, and it's her dream! From Absolutely Fabulous.

[@jrodfilms]

this song is so weird yet intriguing.

[@SummerBayJournal]

I love how to Edina Marianne Faithful IS God. She also appeared as God in a 1996 episodeof Ab Fab. "Will & Grace" totally ripped off this idea with Cher appearing in Jack's dream.

[@SeattleBlythe]

It's amazing these women are still alive with their prior massive H addictions.

[@Charliaeffchen]

That's great!

[@casadyrocks]

Wow! The things you learn! Interesting!

[@stephaniehale3379]

Classy cool ladies

[@sassymess7111]

Awesome! I don't remember seeing this episode

[@peachy_pink555]

[@coralarch]

I would never have recognised Anita Pallenberg.

[@monkmchorning]

Perfect.

[@Courtneyshole1965]

I remember that episode

[@krakendechris]

Gaaf ze is het dus echt, heel mooi liedje ook

[@lisaciconte7409]

Nice that Anita & Marianne acted together.

[@jaimeamour]

i hate when this happenes to me in the morning when i am having a fat day.. but no marian or anita .. but sometimes the bed does float xxj

[@robertfurman2388]

This is my. Favorite version of lj

[@mtsn]

Interesting how after all these years even if you didn't know who they are/were you can tell who was married with which stone easily.

[@angelicbeing6346]

Neither were married to any stone.

[@JustinEdwords]

@@angelicbeing6346 keith and anita were essentially common law married. Marianne wasnt of course

[@eternalriver]

Marianne - hot!

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

They were BFFS in real life many yrs ago. Anita had musical background running in her family so she wasn’t simply a cute “ ornament girl to dangle at parties,Marianne ( here there both came in) were very intelligent women. Never ever say Anita was a groupie,man. Or that Marianne is. Then you’re ignorant you need to read up on The Stones! These lovely ladies gave them lyrical ideas ,they called Anita the last Rolling Stone” the dialogue between Marianne and Anita is like the wizard of Oz,on acid!

[@kahaki]

time waits for no one

[@michaelmarzano2759]

❤️

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

Marianne looks beautiful singing Ballad of Lucy Jordan the in comes The Delightfully Evil 😈 Anita Still a beauty) Pallenberg So, sadly I couldn’t watch this where I live but I heard you obviously see one is the good angel character one is the bad.

[@kahaki]

frightening visuals, but great dialog

[@MrsFaithfull]

Marianne did 'Girl on a Motorcycle'..

[@williamneely8366]

An absolute stitch.pscy.

[@n9ne2006]

@seulementmoi Its called 'the ballad of lucy jordan'

[@kanga888]

Anita Pallenberg was only 54 in this clip

[@bipbippadotta5953]

Anita was born in 1942 so she would have been 59 here in 2001. Marianne was 54.

[@mrgroove2926]

@weenyone Anita Pallenberg was Keith Richards' girlfriend for years. She had two of his children and a third one that died shortly after birth. She also was Brian Jones' girlfriend before leaving him for Keith.

[@glitter-lk5dz]

and she slept with Mick

[@clojap]

This version of the song seems to have some keyboard effects added, is that a remix or was it just added for the show?

[@theaussiebackflipboy]

I would suggest a new recording considering the change to the lyrics. The original version says "At the age of 37" whereas this version says "At the age of 47".

[@06david06]

what song is this?

[@casadyrocks]

Shel Silverstien..DR Hook???

[@SummerBayJournal]

Possibly true - but Jennifer Saunders knocks them both out of the water! :D

[@mrfoltz]

Marianne Faithfull "IS" God!!!! And Edina is Gabriel ... in "MY" Heaven anyway...... LOL

[@jh1987r]

what's the name of the song?

[@glitter-lk5dz]

The Ballad of Lucy Jordan

[@williamneely8366]

All down the line.pscy.

[@patz4maine]

@mtsn...not married, just living in sin

[@dybbuk4640]

silly

[@pierstheoneandonly]

A coup on the part of Jennifer Saunders. It's difficult to quantify Faithfull as a performer. Intelligent for sure, but no actor as can be seen here - Pallenburg is better.

[@midniteandshadow21]

Anita Pallenberg has NOT aged well! Faithfull is slightly better. Her voice is crackled from the drug overdoses.

[@philbecker4676]

Yep they definitely should have cut this. How cringe. They might be icons but they cannot act.

[@nickkellerman1638]

Are you fcking serious? This is an iconic scene TWAT

Brilliant scene, one of my favourite moments from the entire show and I'm not old enough to remember either of them. Very poignant dialogue.
