UK Comedy Legends Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders Close Their Production Company After 28 Years

I DON'T like SKINNY Dawn French I like FAT Dawn French.

I seriously thought that was Candace Bergen on the left, at first glance.

What's odd about it? They've made millions and are close to retirement age.

R2- Candice Bergen now resembles ROSE MARIE from the Dick Van Dyke Show.

I never found them particularly funny. But envied French for having access to Lenny Henry's dick.

Lucky bitches.

R5- I ALWAYS got MAJOR LESBIAN vibes from Dawn French and Lenny Henry never seemed particularly STRAIGHT.

R7 All these years and never heard a whisper about Sir Lenworth being anything other than 1.90 m of hot, virile Jamaican candy.

I love them both so much.

Covid fucked up a lot of people's money and plans

R3, usually people keep production companies open to collect profit. Their shows are still being sold and they’re doing new things already.

Jennifer is now heavier than Dawn. What a mind fuck. At least Dawn may stick around another 20+ now after looking after her health. She’s healthy, has a nice husband, lives in a castle down by the sea - what more could you want? Thank god she finally broke down and started using technology after spending decades happily proclaiming that she never was going to use a computer. I wish she’d do more “Murder Most Horrid”. I never liked “The Vicar of Dibley”.

I think Jennifer and Dawn are roughly the same weight, it just that with Dawn being short she carries it differently. I watched all three of her series DELICIOUS and she's still heavy.

Love the both of them with a mad passion, but my partner can't get into their humor at all, although he loves British humor in general. Humor is very subjective, I guess.

r13- Yes, it's like Christina Ricci- she's so tiny, she can look heavy on-screen. I worked on, "The Opposite of Sex" and she was a wee bit underweight, but looked healthy. On-screen, she looked pudgy. That's why she anorexic-looking.

28 years is a long time for a production company. They've made their money and moving on.

British humoUr.

Yes, I've ballooned!

R15, that’s one of my favorite movies ever. I hope it was an enjoyable experience.

I thought the OP photo was a still from a reboot of "Benidorm".

I want them to get together with their pals and do another "Five Go Mad in..." show. Though they'd have to recast Timmy the dog. I already have the meal planned -- ham and turkey sandwiches, bags of lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, heaps of tomato, and lashings of ginger beer!

R20 They've already done 3 and the first one is easily the best. The second one was milking it a bit and the last one was a "We're all old now" reunion story and I don't know where they could go with it after that. Just watch the first one again.

Hello, Emergency Lipo?

R13 Dawn French truly was big though, we're talking about 150 lbs heavier than Ricci ever was. Ricci probably just *thought* she looked about Dawn's size, hence the anorexia in her teens and her skinnyness in her 20s and her 30s.

Shit, I meant R15.

But, R17, there's a thin person SCREAMING to get out of her.

R17 Edina, not a. a was a Tory MP.

R25 - Just the one, dear?

Thank you, R27. I was hoping someone would take the set-up.

R26 Edina was born a. She dropped the W before getting into PR because she hated it.

Bolli and nibbly bits!

I saw Lennie Henry do stand up in the 80s in Hull. He was quite funny but not what I'd call particularly hot.
