Absolutely Fabulous

Season 5

Episode 2: Book Clubbin'

Edina has a nightmare about Saffy's baby trying to stab her. It turns out that the face of the nightmare baby belongs to Saffy's midwife, who delights in teasing Edina about these nightmares. Edina expresses her displeasure about this baby. Saffy invites the father of the baby to the house to tell him she is pregnant. In the meantime, Edina and Patsy has organized a book club, but no one is interested in reading any books except celebrity gossip magazines. When Edina discovers that John Johnson, the father of Saffy's baby is black, she is overjoyed, because a mixed-race baby is the greatest accessory, the "Chanel of babies." When Saffy tells John that she is pregnant, he replies that she should tell people that she is pregnant right away lest anyone think she is fat. Guest stars Mariella Frostrup (Herself), Jeanette Krankie (Midwife), Kristin Scott Thomas (Plum)
