British cult classic Absolutely Fabulous is still coming back and now there are pictures to prove it! Or else it's an elaborate costumed scheme to fool us all into catching up on the series in anticipation of new episodes.
Scheme or not, Eddy and Patsy do look fabulous. I just hope someone else is driving that limo, because those poses look like the girls haven't laid off the booze much in the time they've been off the air.
Cult classic Absolutely Fabulous is coming back, if but briefly, for three new specials that will lead up to the London Olympics. They'll take place in the present day, with Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and all the original castmembers reprising their roles.

That's a lot of background for a three-minute video, so maybe you should just watch it.
Free Agents, the upcoming NBC sitcom starring Hank Azaria, is a remake of a British show of the same name. If you want to compare the original to the new, Americanized version, BBC America will be showing it starting on October 8th.
