Ab Fab Movie is apparently on the cards – Saunders Jennifer Saunders, writer and creator of the hugely popular Absolutely Fabulous (aka AbFab) TV series, has reportedly revealed on UK TV’s This Morning show that in fact an AbFab movie is on the cards.

REVIEW: Decriminalizing Alan Turing: The Imitation Game Norwegian director Morten Tyldum elegantly weaves a very touching and tragic story of espionage, cryptography and sexuality extracting nuanced performances out of Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing and Keira Knightley as Joan Clarke, an odd couple who make up the mysterious collective which work on and break the seemingly impossible Nazi enigma code at the height of World War II.
