Joanna Lumley looks back at her time working with June Whitfield in the 90s sitcom hit, Absolutely Fabulous. From 2015.
In an age of instant celebrity, what does it take to maintain a long career in entertainment?
June Whitfield was one of our best-known faces and most widely loved stars.
In the last of two parts, Joanna Lumley visits June at home in Wimbledon to re-live some of her finest comedy moments.
She also explores how the entertainment industry has changed – most notably the expanded roles for women as performers, writers and producers – during her remarkable career.
Joanna looks at the latter part of June's career, starting with the role that brought her to a whole new audience - Mother in Jennifer Saunders’ 1990s BBC sitcom hit, Absolutely Fabulous.
