Absolutely Fabulous: Season 5, Episode 10 - ProjectFreeTV

5 - 10:

Edina and Patsy reluctantly accompany Emma Bunton to the taping of Comic Relief at the BBC Television Centre. Inside, a member of the production staff can't find Emma's name on the list of presenters, prompting Edina to suggest they check again under Queen Noor or Lulu. Ensconced in a dressing room, Emma and Edina bicker when Edina insists that the point of Emma's participation should be to gain greater exposure for herself. Edina urges Emma to lobby director and Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis for a role in one of his films. When Richard visits the dressing room to apologise for Emma having been left off the list, Edina and Patsy fail to recognise him and ask him to fetch Richard straightaway. Emma angrily writes a cheque to the charity and storms off. When the production staffer returns to collect Emma (now scheduled to appear after Graham Norton), Edina and Patsy first conceal (in the dressing room) and then loudly acknowledge (on-stage, live, during the Comic Relief special) Emma's departure. While Patsy is struck by stage fright (in a direct reference to her disastrous appearance in a morning news program in season 1's "Magazine"), Edina attempts a song. Once Patsy wets herself, both are quickly shooed from the stage by a horrified Graham.
