"Joanna Lumley has said that she is pleasantly surprised by the global popularity of Absolutely Fabulous.  The actress, who played Patsy Stone in the BBC comedy, revealed that she enjoyed her experience on the show and had no idea how widespread its appeal would be. &amp;quot;I just adored Absolutely Fabulous. We loved each other so much and sometimes in rehearsals we would just lay on the ground because we laughed so much,&amp;quot; she told Grazia. &amp;quot;You never imagined that people in truck stations in Ohio would end up watching it.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;Recently, I went on holiday with my family to a villa in Croatia. We were in the back of beyond and they had a shop with DVDs and there, with Croatian writing on it, was old Patsy!&amp;quot; Lumley recently urged consumers to adopt a vegetarian diet as she believes processed meat contributes to the development cancer.
