Jennifer Saunders and Dame Joanna Lumley reunite

- 

Crack open the champers... Almost a decade after they last played outrageous fashionistas Edina and Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous, Jennifer Saunders and Dame Joanna Lumley are teaming up for a Christmas special of Amandaland.

In the festive instalment of BBC1's Motherland spin-off, Lumley reprises her role as Felicity, the snobbish mum of high-maintenance Amanda (Lucy Punch), while Saunders joins the cast as Felicity's overly jolly sister Joan, who is laying on a lavish Christmas for the family at her country pile in Gloucestershire.
