It's almost time to crack open the Boli, dahlings - the Ab Fab movie teaser trailer is here!

Joanna Lumley says she's looking forward to promoting the new Absolutely Fabulous movie which gets its UK premier on the 1st of July.

She says she can't wait to take the film to Cannes, New York, LA and even Australia.

The film follows Eddie and Patsy's escape to the French Riviera after they're blamed for an incident at a fashion launch party.

She says making the movie wasn't so different from how the TV series was made. "So much of the filming for it we did was on location, and Jennifer [Saunders} writes long - so all our half hour programmes were edited down from 15 hours".

The film will feature cameos from the likes of Kate Moss, Harry Styles and Kim Kardashian.

The Ab Fab movie was shot in seven weeks in the UK and the South of France last year, during which it's claimed producers had to ask the cast and crew to stop drinking while at work.

Early teasers suggest Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie opens with Patsy and Eddie waking up hungover on a drifting yacht.

Saunders had hesitations about making the movie, admitting that she felt the cast would be "too old" but says she was forced into writing the script because Joanna Lumley kept talking about it in interviews.

Ab Fab ran for 5 seasons between 1992 and 2003 - and also returned for a series of specials around the London Olympics.

The film, like the TV series', will feature an array of cameos from famous faces like Kate Moss, Lulu, Emma Bunton and Harry Styles.
