Viewers are in for a big treat as duo reunite for first show in 10 years
KIM Kardashian will be the butt of the jokes as one of the country’s best-loved double acts make a festive comeback.
French and Saunders have reunited for their first new show in 10 years, creating a set of hilarious new sketches taking aim at the Kardashians, Poldark and many other telly favourites of recent years.
They are also celebrating an incredible 30 years of showbiz by including some of their best moments from down the years – turning the show into a greatest hits collection, which they hope will work as well for new fans as for old ones.
The festive viewing treat – 300 Years of French and Saunders – also features guest appearances from Ab Fab pals Joanna Lumley and Lulu.
Jennifer Saunders said: “We’ve lived long enough to actually be in and watch our own clip show.
“It’s on this Christmas and it’s lots and lots and lots and lots of clips. It’s interrupted occasionally by us and there is some new material.
“It’s not a new show and it’s not a Christmas special… well, it is a bit special but it’s mainly a clip show with us in it.
“We basically tried to find the funniest ones. We tried to choose the ones that haven’t been seen as much.
“Some of our favourite stuff is the quirkier stuff, the studio stuff.”
The Handmaid’s Tale, Gogglebox and Wonder Woman are among the other modern targets, while viewers will also get to enjoy classic clips such as their take on 90s film Titanic.
Dawn French said it was great to get to work together again.
She added: “We really mainly just spent time talking, catching up with things, finding out how your horses are, how the dogs are, how the children are, how the husbands are … that kind of stuff.” ● 300 Years of French and Saunders is on BBC1 on Christmas Day at 10.35pm.
