Sweet, darling, sweetie! Coo-ey! Over here. The new AbFab film - Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - is arriving this summer in a great big orgy of Bolly-slugging bad behaviour and stiletto teetering mayhem. Think The Inbetweeners, only without all the maturity and level-headedness. The movie has a new poster to share below.

Mandie Fletcher (Blackadder II, the Absolutely Fabulous TV show) is calling the shots on this one, working from Jennifer Saunders’ script, with her Edina and Joanna Lumley's Patsy joined, as you might expect by Julia Sawalha’s Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother.

The plot, which follows some of the archetypes for a film based on a British sitcom sees Edina and Patsy shopping, drinking and clubbing their way round London’s top spots until they stumble into a fashionable launch party and are blamed for a major incident. Fleeing the ensuing media storm and attendant paparazzi, they head for the French Riviera without a penny to their names, but start to form a plan to stay there permanently.

A cavalcade of cameos and appearances bolsters the cast for this one, with Gwendoline Christie, Rebel Wilson and even the legendary Celia Imrie on the roster.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie will be appearing in UK cinemas in a puff of cigarette smoke on July 1.
