Victoria Wood has died

Stunned Such talent and insight.

Such a shock

She was so talented, I feel very sad.

So talented - far too young I loved housewife 49 too Annie So, so sad.

Fantastically funny lady, such sad news

That really is very sad. She was the sort of person whom you felt you knew - and so very talented and such fun.

So sorry to hear that. I always enjoyed her shows too, a rare talent.

Such a shame, far too young. One of the few who always made me laugh.

Another National Treasure lost to us, how sad. Loved Dinnerladies.

She had so many talents, comedienne, actress, writer, musician. Couldn't pick out one thing I liked best, loved it all.Far too young and irreplaceable.

RIP Victoria Wood. Such a talent. One of the few comedians who made me laugh out loud, but also a talented actor and writer.

Someone posted on Twitter that Death hasn't been using a scythe but rather a combine harvester this year.

?

I could never understand why Joan Collins was made a dame but Victoria wasn't. She had more talent in her little finger...

So very sad, her comedy was always so well observed and always on target but never ever cutting or snide. She had the gift of poking fun at things but with such a good heart you never felt she had an unkind bone in her body. Can always remember reading an article she wrote about her education and there were so many things I could identify with. She too had sat an exam with a little plastic troll on the edge of her desk!! RIP Victoria you will be greatly missed.

Oh that is awful! She was just a brilliant comedian and actor.
Her type of humour was right up my street. We have lost far too many of our best entertainers this year.

How very sad, and so young too

It's not often I weep at the deaths of celebrities, but in this case I just feel genuinely shocked and so sad at the loss of this hugely talented lady. My heart aches for her children and loved ones. Yes, she has left a wonderful legacy but she has gone far too soon

I also feel a tremendous sense of loss. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say she was one of the greatest - if not THE greatest - entertainers of her generation, in memoriam.

"Life’s not fair, is it? Some of us drink champagne in the fast lane, and some of us eat our sandwiches by the loose chippings on the A597."
RIP.

That has really shocked and saddened me. She was so talented and far too young to die. Sometimes the saying " the good die young" seems appropriate. This is obviously from a viewpoint of 78 years.

Victoria Wood was a unique entertainer - she seemed to be able to do everything - singing, songwriting, play-writing, acting, comedy-writing, stand-up comedy, producing, directing, playing the piano, even dancing.

She was so perceptive, witty and struck a chord with the best of British values. She was observant, self-depricating and incredibly funny.

I cannot think of anyone in our lifetimes who was such an amazing all-round entertainer. She was just fabulous, has gone too soon and will be sorely missed.

So brilliant. Very sad. On Channel 4news they said when she described death in Britain She said that in some countries they scream a lot. Here it's " you slice and I'll butter." So clever . So spot on .

My favourite line was, "We didn't have dyslexia in my school, they were sat at the back with raffia".

I was terribly saddened to hear this news this afternoon. She was always so full of life, so full of energy and fun, it just doesn't seem possible that all that has gone. What a terrible tragedy. Her brilliance will surely live on - some stars are made to shine forever.

I haven't got a waist. I've just got a sort of place, a bit like an unmarked level crossing. Yep I can relate to that! RIP Victoria, you have been loved by so many, and very few people can say that

What a shame such a talent, very funny woman, highly original, I remember her acting with Julie Walters years ago before they became very well known. She was so multi talented. Laughed out loud when I first heard her perform "Let's do it" particularly, the line "Bend me over backwards on my hostess trolley" among other great references in that song, "beat me on the bottom with the Woman's Weekly" I think was another. She will be missed by many of us I'm sure.

Sad news-a lost talent. Did she keep her illness quiet then? I don't recall hearing anything about it?
Trouble is all us baby boomers are all coming up to a certain age. . . .

That was the line quoted on North West Tonight * Terribull* as the one remembered most. For me,apart from everything in Dinnerladies it has to be " can you see it on the trolley" when serving lunch to business types in suits. So sadly missed.
