   From their gloriously ridiculous days on Absolutely Fabulous to Harriet's current reign as Elaine Peacock in EastEnders, the two old friends reunite for a hilarious, unfiltered trip through decades of British television comedy.

   But it's not all champagne and chaos. Harriet opens up about being labelled stupid as a dyslexic child, abandoning her dreams of ballet and finding the courage to completely reinvent herself.

   Plus, a surprise appearance from Jay McGuiness, outrageous confessions and Helen's utterly bonkers EFF IT Personality Paradigm.

   Two comedy icons. One stage. Absolutely no filter.

   It's time to say EFF IT!
