      I know I am Canadian and I would fall out laughing at their skits. The Prison Visit was hilarious as well as The ABBA Group. Them and Little Britian are true legends. They could give the folks on Saturday Night Live in The US a run for their money.

    I had a bestie like this, a partner in crime who was brilliant and funny and all that. I lost her to mental illness and there’s nothing I can do about it other than pray for her. However, whenever I see these two I’m reminded so much of my old friend, the laughs and how we were. These two are so brilliant, and it was nice to see Jennifer mention about friendships and how rewarding they can be

    I freaking, FREAKING LOVE Dawn and Jennifer. One thing people forget is that Dawn was one of the main writers and producers on AbFab. Her collaboration with Saunders was made in the heavens, or someplace akin to that. A place for outspoken, incredibly funny, intelligent, irreverent women. These two belong in every film hall of fame out there, like Lucille Ball they re-wrote the book on how women can present themselves; humor, and wit.
    HUGE RESPECT!!
