Joanna Lumley Recalls Threatening Jennifer Saunders for Amandaland Role

Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley humorously revealed how she playfully threatened her longtime co-star Jennifer Saunders to accept a guest role in the BBC's Amandaland Christmas special, a spin-off from Motherland. Lumley emailed Saunders saying she'd "have to kill you" if she turned down the script for playing her on-screen sister, confident Saunders would excel. Saunders described the opportunity as an "absolute gift" and enjoyed the fun reunion with her former collaborator.
