Seeing the crowd giving them the standing ovation as they went up onstage totally brought me back to the nights I saw them live in London. Such incredible enthusiasm!! Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French are two of my heroes and I just adore them so much.
CONGRATS ON THE BAFTA FELLOWSHIP GIRLS!!! LOVE YOU!!!
I'm soooooo proud to be british because we have such great comedy talent !!!!!!!!!!!
isabelle brennan I am from the states and agree you have the cream of the crop wish they would consider working in the states or at least get a series on Netflix especially Jen doing more Ab Fab or a similar genre also loved Viv Vyle that had very few episodes
debbie nichols ngl tho some of your content is addictive asf. Especially your guy’s series
And you can be proud ! I am French but anyway I am proud for all of you darling 😉😍😘😘
Same here! Makes me proud to be a Brit, also 🇬🇧❤️
as a US American, I can say w/o a doubt that these two ladies are at the top of the list of my all time favorite comedies... absolutely brilliant and deserve more recognition then they've received.... AbFab as well, such a favorite of mine and like someone else said, the lines and comedy in AbFab still work to this day 20 years later and THAT is pure genius.... both such beautiful women,,,
A US American? Is there another type?
@@suave-rider U know America doesn't signify the US right?...Canada is "America" and so is Mexico.....just an fyi the "Americas" the US is just the United States "OF" America ...
@@singingtrucker1502 Nope. Its either the US, USA, or America. No such thing as US America 😘😘😘
Brilliant, so deserving are these ladies! I say that with love because we don't have people like this in America. French & Saunders are the best comedy duo in the world. I was introduced to them in the early 1990s, and have been a crazed fan ever since. Standing ovation, please, for Dawn and Jennifer.
Naughtiness
I just got out of the hospital and was lucky to recover from pnumonia. Now that I am home I realize how lucky I am to see French and Saunders again wiith a big smile on my face. Thank u for all the great work you both have shared with the public.
I have loved these two for YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jens makeup is flawless. She is gorgeous 🥰❤️
I love that they're such best friends! These two are GOLD!! They make me proud to be English/British!!
French and Saunders, you deserve this bafte one million percent, you guys including Joanna lumley have entertained us for years and hope to continue doing so for years to come, congratulations to the both of you

These two make me so proud to be British. Grown up laughing at/with/to everything they've done!

This warms my heart.
I have much love & respect for Dawn & Jennifer. Cheers darling!
How have you changed in the 12 years since that comment ?

Icons, legends, goddesses of comedy.
proud to be british because you can swear on national tv.
SE KA what I love about British TV is it’s not censored like here in the states
@Thor Swenson yeah. we dont give a shit in the uk
They will forever be my comedy heroes
Well, humour is certainly you Brits can be proud of. Thank you cable television for bringing British humour to Belgium in 1982. 'French and Saunders, doo-bi-doo-bi-dooooo'!
I just love the streak in Jens hair she is absolutely gorgeous ❤️🥰
British humour makes me so proud to be British overall it’s outstanding and we thrive through the worst time with it.
Thanks for posting! Yes, well, they certainly deserve the highest honors - they are, indisputably, the best! They deserve that same recognition in the US as well. What the hell... let's just be honest: TOTAL GLOBAL COMEDY DOMINATION!!!!!
Almost 40 years as 2 of the top female comedians. Along with Victoria wood.. Thay have made us laugh cry and laugh so much.
Dawn French is so so naturally funny.
I love the British sense of humor.😘👏👏👏❤
Rightly deserved!👏👏👏
Dame Helen just look amazing! Her age has nothing to do with it. She is a lady with class and style. Both Dawn and Jennifer look great too.
1:05 What a great reference to The Calendar Girls, of course starring Helen Mirren who was presenting the award!
Jennifer and Dawn are such lovely comedy geniuses and I love having them as my role model they are truly the most down to earth fabulous people ever and their friendship is just gold love them both so much!!! Thank you for entertaining us for all those delightful years xx
I own every series dawn french has ever been in xD I LOVE DAWN!
Thank u for sharing your genius with us Americans. I didn't know what true comedy was until I saw the work you both do so well.
Lots of love and have a holiday.
Indianapolis, Indiana

Well Deserved both brilliant.!!!
And welcomed on stage by Helen Mirren ! It doesn't get more iconic than this .
America love you too!
They are the best...the speech was superb!! :D
The titanic sketch is the funniest parody they ever did. James Cameron loved it. He was on the graham Norton show with Dawn French, I think. And he called her a genius.
I think you'll find, Dawn French looks gorgeous too :D
love this kind of stuff could i get more
One of a kind!
Aww very touching.
love them, love them, love them........
me to! i'm from Canada but I managed to find the DVD box set of French & Sauders here as well as Ab. Fab. :D now i just have to find The Vicar lol
We love them
Brilliant comedy duo .
Get them back x❤
Various. And she's great at it!
WOOHOO!
They ARE amazing.
i bloody love them!
Jens got a beautiful face and her makeup is perfect not to much
I was in London...I think it was probably 15 years ago, and I saw Dawn French with Lenny in one of the parks. She was at an ice cream van, and I heard her ask for chocolate...it was so funny.
dawn jenifer keep writing
I love them!
They sure deserved it. I'll miss their show, but I know they'll be busy working on other projects in the future. =)
I love them.....especially Ab Fab
Damn right ❤
The funniest women in the world. Comedy goddesses
Amazin, sweetiees!!
They are soooooooo funny
It's funny Helen Mirren's there because it occurred to me how regal Jennifer Saunders looks here. Has she done a Helen Mirren/Queen impression?
OMG Jen has lost weight !! She looks gorgeous !
i wish they hadn't cut Helen Mirren's speech and the tribute video beofre "here come the grrls"
My Mum Is Dawn Frenches Soul Mate!!
I know it is a long shot given how old this video is...but can anyone tell me the name of the actor at the .21 mark?
A female comedy team. One was fat. 1980s. Their comedy was light years ahead and so was AbFab. Just goes to show that true comedy talent shines through regardless of size, gender or anything else. 40 odd yrs later there’s no female comics that have risen to this golden standard. I’m glad I was a teen during the years of Jen, Dawn, and their mates Rik and Ade.
who came here from Graham Norton after Dawn talked about not wanting to go up on stage before the show and Jennifer holding her to a wall and saying we are accepting this F'kin award
you have very good taste ;)
I was replying to emeraldpixie about the woman at 2:42. I most definitely can recognise Dame Mirren. It would be poor form not to. :D
Was it just me who saw claire skinner like glare into the camera?
Is that Jane Horrocks at 3:27?
Long live French and Saunders!
lekkki1 it's Claire skinner AKA the mum in outnumbered
Who are the two actresses at 2:42?
Dervla Kirwan an irish actress is the one on the right.
Carnie Wilson looks great
#proudtobebritish
Joseph and today 😀
Absolutely, and Dawn would too if she could just drop a couple of stone (love her anyway)
@TalkingOcean1 who had been undergoing chemo?
@jophus82 Where is "here"?
I’m glad Dawn shed a lot of this weight - not fat shaming - but I’d like for her not to be dead and she may well be today if she had stayed like she was in this.
I think its Miranda Richardson from Vivienne Vyle and AbFab?
But where was ADE?!?!?? There's Lenny, big as life in the front row, but WHERE WAS ADRIAN??!?!?!
Guessing with eldest daughter Ella, as the BAFTA's are awarded in Feburary, and that year around same time Ella released her debut album and visiting small regional folk radio channels over UK trying to plug it.
: )
In her book bonkers. Jennifer saunders revealed that Dawn doesn't not like this sort of thing., award shows or movie premieres. Jennifer was wearing a pair of expensive shoes which were too small and she took them off and went barefoot instead. Dawn has issues that date back to her dad commiting suicide. She hates the public eye. And does everything thing to avoid and lives the quiet life with her husband.
any of the award winning shows..not the shit stuff... lol
Too right SHUT UP! If you respect them, let them speak!
Fact that Dawn lost a lot of weight...
Their great what?
Oh, "they're" great.
painfully unfunny.
