The reviews are in for the long anticipated revival of Absolutely Fabulous, which wowed critics at the London premiere and prompted them to acclaim the film as, well - absolutely fabulous.

Thankfully the film seems to have escaped the curse that has blighted many other films that have been born from much loved TV shows - most significantly Sex and the City, which was slated by critics when it hit cinemas. You can now catch Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders at your local cinema from July 1. It was will screened at Vue Cinema on Hollywood Park in Barrow from Friday 1 July at 12.35pm, 15.40pm, 18.15pm, 20.30pm and 22.55pm. It will be shown at the Roxy Cinema in Ulverston from Friday 8 July.
