At the Montreux TV Festival where French & Saunders were awarded an honorary Golden Rose, there was news of three, count them, three new projects for the coming year.
First in the lineup is sketches and send-ups in a brand new Christmas Special will go out on BBC1.
Dawn French will move on from The Vicar of Dibley to play a lesbian in a new sitcom.
Meanwhile Jennifer Saunders announced two Absolutely Fabulous specials, one of which will take the show to New York where her character Edina Monsoon pays the price for years of hedonism.
It is only the tenth time such an honorary prize has been awarded at Montreux.
