[f_minor] GG and film a late encore

[Neil Tingley]

IS Ab fab translated ? Is that recast ? Perhaps a lot of the humour would
not work in the US? Seems a bit strange though. Its not as though Ab Fab is
acted with characters with strong Glasgow accents.,.. (then even in London
you'd need subtitles).

Cheers,

Neil
