What about them? I doubt the AbFab fans would have minded seeing a Press Gang
movie, and I hate to say it, but most of the fans of AbFab were fans of the
two stars, not so much Julia.

It gave her a boost, granted, but I still hold her part as Lynda to be the
best I've seen her in.

much for it. Lydia Bennet was interesting, but she didn't have much in it.
That was the first thing I saw her in besides Press Gang, and I was happy
to see her do such a different character. I would have liked to have seen
more Lynda, and more PG in general actually, from her, though not neccesarily
exclusively Lynda.
