Thanks to my friend Josie Jobless, I recently got reacquainted with a TV assistant character of yore: Bubble, the flaky, emptyheaded assistant to badly dressed lush/PR exec Edina Monsoon on the brilliant British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. While Bubble wasn’t one for office work (she once accidentally emailed Edina’s entire address book and all her recent correspondence to a business rival), she wore crazy outfits and was a great comic foil. Here’s Bubble, as she tries to become a better assistant by figuring out how the New Year works and thus dating checks accordingly.
